carbonas "frustrate me" i finally found all three of their albums and i've been listening to them all week. so far this is my favorite. i love the heavy echo on what i guess would be the chorus:
grapefruit "another game" i'll probably post another grapefruit track from the same album later, as i was back and forth between this song and another:
bastro "recidivist" my radio station music mentor in college made a mix tape for me after my freshman year. this song was on it. it sounds so good hearing it again:
ethel merman "i'm an indian too" and speaking of mixes, a couple of years ago i met this girl who made the best mixes. this track was on the last one in the exchange. other than moving to new york, she was pretty much the perfect girl:
daniel johnston and jad fair "happy talk" the above track came from "annie get your gun", and strangely enough, i remember including this cover from the musical "south pacific" on my half of the same exchange (be warned - i love it, but some might find it highly grating):
and after that, would you believe the version from the film may be even stranger:
tomita "daphnis et chloe suite no.2" as i think i've said before, in my opinion, ravel's "daphnis et chloe suite no.2" is the greates, most beautiful piece of music ever written. yesterday i came across a nice synth performance of it my a japanese artist. the effect is that it losed the pastoral feel of the syphony and trades it for vangelis synths make you think of flying cars and repliants rather than nymphs and fawns:
