And Whisper Sweet
Perhaps I am one of incredibly many that became a little pissed off with the Iraq war. And, especially since I am only spending half of my time in this country, it was pretty mind-blowing when Bush got reelected. On another note, I think that it is important to feel positive about globalism—it isn’t necessarily only an evil thing. I remember reading as a child, in music school, a quote from Stockhausen that in the next century (now) we will have killed all the animals and become only one nation, but it is going to be amazing, everybody communicating telepathically and floating into space between the stars. I don’t agree with him completely but I feel it is important to move on and stop clinging to old stuff. By moving forward and letting go, so much other stuff is going to come back to us like unite as one tribe and hopefully we’ll manage to get rid of organized religion. -Bjork interview at Stylus.

note: Wow, this post looks way more serious than I made it out to be. The post is a simple hip-hop fun. Remember in that music class when your teacher shout.. “make it sing”. Well it’s a simple list about great composition that “sing”. A bjork song sandwiched between Mingus piano pieces, all blended with old school hip-hop just like early 2000. A regular summer blend. Beat and songs. (OK. Moka is doing garage band, I have a rock list that I need to simplify before posting. then I migt try to reconnect my lost train of thought from last month post.) anyway. enjoy.
btw, if you like Paste magazine (various songwriters and indie), they need help.

great mix
and “great expectations” is so funky
Like the music, but as for the Bjork interview: tribes had organized religions and they often believed some pretty horrifying things.
Ace list — per usual. I love the direction you took with In the Musicals. And, Sarah Vaughan is always a good choice.
yeah, I wonder how far “beat matching” trick will last. nobody complains so far… heh.
Bjork being adorable.

true. I think she refers more to rigidity of modern organized religion. But then again, she is of ten cryptic and surreal about all this stuff.
Interesting site, but much advertisments on him. Shall read as subscription, rss.
