Sakamoto Ryuichi – Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

I remember watching Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence when I was a wee lad, back when I didn’t even know who David Bowie was. I remember hardly anything about the movie itself, but I’ve never forgotten the beautiful theme song. This is a live performance,...

Neil Young & Pearl Jam – Throw Your Hatred Down

Mirrorball is probably one of my favourite albums from the mid 90s and was my gateway drug to the wonder that is Neil Young. I have gone on to embrace almost all the musical aspects of the eclectic Neil Young but it is the distortion merchant proto-grunge...

Yamane Mai – After, In the Dark ~ Torch Song

An unforgettable song composed by Kanno Yoko featuring vocals by Yamane Mai, it served as the ending theme to episodes 1 through 3 of the OVA version of Macross Plus. Sadly, nothing on Frontier comes close.

John Renbourn - Rosslyn

As the video description says, “John Renbourn at the peak of his prodigious powers”. My first experience of Renbourn was his rendition of “The Moon Shines Bright”, unfortunately there is not YouTube video with his recording but there is an excellent cover...

Kula Shaker – Drink Tea (for the Love of God!)

Just bought the “new” Kula Shaker album Strangefolk . It was released June 2007 and I’ve not heard a peep about it anywhere. I’m not sure about it yet, especially the two reworked tracks from the Revenge of the King EP which I loved, but their Christmas...

Souad Massi – Yemma

I was in my favourite record store yesterday, and on the stereo I heard this beautiful voice. So it turns out that voice belonged to Souad Massi , and the song I heard was “Yemma”, off the album Deb . This is a live performance from the BBC Radio 3 World...

Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau – The Sound of Water

Featuring Pat and his 42 string Pikasso again, The Sound of Water was maybe one of the highlights off the “Metheny Mehldau Quartet” album.

Random Macross Frontier Thoughts, Part 2

Here there be spoilers. The series is about 2/3 done. There were a few weak episodes unfortunately, which is a bit of a letdown given the very high standards it set in the first 7 episodes. So the VF-25 is named the Messiah, nice. Wonder what the VF-27...

Random Macross Frontier Thoughts

Holy Homage, Batman! I'm surprised nobody's picked up on this yet (found nothing via Googling anyway). Most anime fans of my generation will have realised Saotome Alto shares a family name with Ranma , which is appropriate. But , what nobody's...

Jazz Guitarists And Their Strange Guitars Part Two

An even more unusual intrument than Charlie Hunter's 8-string is Pat Metheny's Pikasso guitar. Here he is doing his live impression of an orchestra playing a solo piece titled Into The Dream before breaking out the band for Have You Heard , equally...

Jazz Guitarists And Their Strange Guitars Part One

A stunning take on Hendrix's classic If 6 Was 9 by Garage A Trois , featuring drummer Stanton Moore, saxophonist Skerik and guitarist Charlie Hunter playing his 8-string Novax guitar. Skerik's solo is smokin'.
