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.

Kelly Pace and Group "Rock Island Line"



^^^^ This was the * second prisoner recording of "Rock Island Line" and it was recorded by John A. Lomax in October 1934 at the Cummins State Prison Farm, Arkansas. This appears on the album "Alan Lomax Popular Songbook" released in 2003 on Rounder Select Records.

* The first prisoner recording was the very first audio recording of "Rock Island Line" and that was recorded by John A. Lomax in September 1934 at the Tucker Prison Farm, Arkansas.

Thank you Oosie. The Lomaxes are two of my heroes.

A really great tribute to Tom Petty from Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters (formerly of Nirvana).



And the late great Tom Petty . . .

 

[ChrisL]

Past the road to your house
That you never called home
Where they turned out the lights
Though they say you'll never know

I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

When they pumped out your guts
Filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills
They say the worst is over
Kicked it over and ran
Then they ask what went wrong
When they turn you on again
They turn you on again.

I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

Kick them right in the face
Make them wish they weren't born
And if they bring up your name
Well they'll say you won the war.
Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right

Oh, the letters have dropped off
Though they say you got them all
I finally figured out some things you'll never know.
Take back your life and let me inside
We'll find the door if you care to anymore.

I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting.

 

[ChrisL]

The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing

Come out of the things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head and a
Trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing

You are, you are

Confusion that never stops
The closing walls and the ticking clocks gonna
Come back and take you home
I could not stop, that you now know, singing

Come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities am I
A part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease, singing

You are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are

And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

You are, you are

Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go (You are)
Home, home, where I wanted to go (You are)

A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing

The closing walls and the ticking clocks gonna

Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go (You are)
Home, home, where I wanted to go (You are)

These guys sound a lot like U2 to me.

 

[ChrisL]

Speaking of U2!

Fotheringay "Banks of The Nile" from the album "Fotheringay" released in 1970 on Island Records.



Fairport Convention "Fotheringay" from the album "What We Did On Our Holidays" released in 1969 on Island Records.



Sandy Denny the most majestic and purest female voice IMHO in recorded history. In typical fashion she had to destroy herself with booze and drugs, fell down the stairs when drunk and hit her head and two weeks later died of a Mid-Brain Intracerebral haemorrhage.

She is buried in Putney Vale Cemetery in London, England.

Howard Carter is buried in the same cemetery.
