What are you listening to?

[Lucy Hamilton]

Earlier I was listening to Béla Bartók "String Quartet No. 5", on the record player.

You Tube being amazing, they have all of Bartók's String Quartet's uploaded.

The painting in the background of course, this is Wassily Kandinsky's "Composition VIII" from 1923, Kandinsky's early Bauhaus period....I love Kandinsky, one of my favourite artists.

This is the Allegro from "String Quartet No. 5":



Then I listened to Imarhan, who are Tuareg from Algeria and are on City Slang Records which is owned and run by some friends of our's in Berlin:

City Slang Records

Imarhan

The whole Imarhan album is completely astonishing.

This is Imarhan's song "Tahabort" which is amazing, incredibly intricate guitar work and in general just extraordinary noise, they're on tour throughout Europa this month and also March, we must go and watch them do their thing:



Edited to add comment.

Roy Hawkins "Why Do Things Happen To Me" released on 10" 78 rpm in 1950 on Modern Records, the B Side is "Royal Hawk"

Ella Fitzgerald "Sunshine Of Your Love" from her live album of the same name released in 1969 on MPS Records. The song "Sunshine Of Your Love" is of course the Cream song and is on their second album "Disraeli Gears" released in 1967 on Reaction Records.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "There She Goes, My Beautiful World" from the double album "Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus" released in 2004 on Mute Records.



In the above song, Nick Cave - a genuine poet and quite the artistic genius himself - namechecks many people from Philip Larkin to Dylan Thomas to Vladimir Nabokov to St. John of The Cross - he also namechecks Johnny Thunders "Chinese Rocks":

Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers "Chinese Rocks" from their only studio album "L.A.M.F." released in 1977 on Track Records...."Chinese Rocks" was also released on 7" in 1977 with the B Side "Born To Lose" also on Track Records

Young people need the old manufacturing jobs back over here so they don't have to work in the fast food business. Five dollars per hour was a good living wage in 1955 at the GM plant that was razed and a big casino built it its place..

Summer - Calvin Harris



This sounds even more awesome using my new Sony MDRZX660 headphones I bought recently.
