Delicate
” Acoustic. Texture exercise list. ”
01. The Bad Plus – Lithium
For All I Care (Heads Up, 2008)
02. Songs: Ohia – The Body Burned Away
Ghost Tropic (Secretly Canadian, 2000)
03. Iron & Wine – Love Vigilantes
Around The Well (Sub Pop, 2009)
04. Barzin – Soft Summer Girls
Notes to an Absent Lover (Monotreme Records, 2009)
05. Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions – Blanchard
Blanchard (single) (2009)
06. Kings of Convenience – Mrs.Cold
Declaration of Dependence (2009)
note: A short acoustic list that MdM likes to post. It is about voice, instruments in the background, story to tell, and million memory flooding in a conversation. I like these pieces. Lithium is a nirvana cover with acoustic free jazz. remember grunge and Nirvana? Well, the memory now creeps back. Song:Ohio on the other hand deserves more recognition. His work around 2000 uses incredible detail on accoustic like noone else. The body burns away is an epic incantation from a deeply spiritual album. The rest are delicious pieces from standard acoustic lover vault.

btw. Lithium really does sound like somebody on lithium. the beat change is unnerving.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_pharmacology
Lithium pharmacology refers to use of the lithium ion, Li+, as a drug. A number of chemical salts of lithium are used medically as a mood stabilizing drug, primarily in the treatment of bipolar disorder, where they have a role in the treatment of depression and particularly of mania, both acutely and in the long term. As a mood stabilizer, lithium is probably more effective in preventing mania than depression, and may reduce the risk of suicide.[1] In depression alone (unipolar disorder) lithium can be used to augment other antidepressants. Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), sold under several trade names, is the most commonly prescribed, while the citrate salt lithium citrate (Li3C6H5O7), the sulfate salt lithium sulfate (Li2SO4), lithium aspartate and the orotate salt lithium orotate are alternatives.
thanks for the intro to barzin. wow, that is some fantastic sounds.
Big one, Kudos! Just one thing bout Kings of Convenience…should read like that:
Kings of Convenience – Mrs.Cold
Declaration of Dependence (2009)
Iron & Wine just get better with every release, wow.
i never leave comments
but i have to say: thank you!
this playlist is very beautiful and pleasant to listen!
Heya,…
thanks. Glad you enjoy it. It’s a short and very direct list. Up lift direction, chaos in the beginning, slowly end with happier note. The list itself is a bit temperamental with “volume”. It needs to be played at softer, radio in empty room volume. I guess people just have to use the volume button.
the hook is “hey baby, What is love? ..” I think I like that end hook very much. The pseudo bossa nova beat does the trick.

I think I 4 and 5 starred every song on this list. Lithium was a great cover although I think it falls apart toward the end. I LOVE Songs: Ohio (which I was introduced to on a previous post), apparently I have another album to go buy, a very powerful track. “Love Vigilantes” is wonderful and makes me yearn for college when I used to see POI DOG PONDERING perform it. BARZIN was new to me and wonderful. Although I’m very behind, this is why this is my favorite blog.
