I love Cerys Matthews voice El Loro........has the same vulnerability as Joanna Newsome.

When you posted about the latter I was thrilled someone else liked her

It was on page three before I noticed it though........You're not alone in your taste

Missed her on Jules unfortunately .

Old but great!

For stoory. Here is the item you missed on Later. By Joanna Newsom's standards, this is short at only 4 minutes.



I found it wonderful the way the back lighting lit up the back of her long hair, almost giving her the appearance of having angel wings, but I don't know how well this will look on a small picture.

SIA - Breathe Me .... give this time to build - tis beautiful

I must be gettin' old

Why?

I don't like any of this music

You don;t like my SIA song?

They've disabled the embedding btw Renton, I had to go to the tubey to play it.

T'was ok but a bit dreary

I like it, but you'll find that that have to go click on the Youtube link to play it.

OMG dreary?
I find it really emotional and moving - really, i do

And now "Little Bird" from Goldfrapp (audio only)

I have found this amazing clip of Bjork singing Prayer of the Heart written for her by John Tavener. It is not for all tastes - it is in Greek, it is slow, it lasts for 9 minutes, it is deeply Christian (as John Tavener compositions tend to be), and it is spinetingly beautiful.

And on a more romantic note, here's Carlos Gardel's Por Una Cabeza. If you don't recognise that title, you'll probably recognise the music.

Thanks for the Joanna Newsome clip El Loro  .   Wasn't too keen on that particular track though........However, I love the tango music you posted , and the tango in general.

How about this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhjR2XLIUuU

This is a link to the full length 9 minute peformance of The Corrs playing "Haste to the Wedding" at The Royal Albert Hall on St Patrick's Day in 1998. Although other performances exist on Youtube, this one doesn't, but this performance is extra special in that they have a guest drummer, Mick Fleetwood.

Music cannot get more exhilarating than this! Enjoy.

And in a completely different way to all of the previosu tracks here's Captain Beefheart playing "Hard Workin Man" written by Jack Nitzsche. This is audio only. It was written for the film Blue Collar (1978) and is played over the opening credits showing the heavy equipment in action in an auto factory. The fusion of music with the opening shots makes for one of the best starts to a film I have ever seen.

Warning - if your loudspeakers are on at maximum your eardrums may not survive
