What are you listening to?

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.


The Cramps "Rockin' Bones" from their second album "Psychedelic Jungle" released in 1981 on I.R.S. Records.

The original version of "Rockin' Bones" was recorded by Ronnie Dawson and released in 1959 on the Dallas, Texas Independent record label Rockin' Records with the B Side "Congratulations To Me"

The Cramps is a slower and more drawn out rendition which I prefer.

 
Amazing Grace...one of the most beautiful songs ever :) I once was lost but now am found...transformative

Several versions...





 
The Great Selkie of Sule Skerry....

The Selkie's were beings who were seals in the sea, and walked as human upon the land.
