Great thread.

 

Well, whenever I act like a complete jerk, I bow down, listen to

I like Zhao Cong. She's a pipa player. I recently ordered her CD, but I cannot find the CD she did with a guitar player. I also think she's HOT, but women with musical talents seem to do it for me.

 

Zhao Cong, Ambushed from All Sides

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHLTmnYSDoQ

 

Zhao Cong, Moonlight on Spring River

 

Zhao Cong, Dance Tune of the Yi Tribe

 

 

I also like to listen to Mercan Dede's newest CD, Mercanistan. It's like turkish hip hop (sort of). Santiago turned me on to them during a full moon shaktipat back in September.

Etnica - Traktor activity (live)

 

A good one too. Nevermind the guy in the intro.

I wouldn't mind having an American Indian shaman drum.

Music does not have to include more than repetitive beats for me. B)

Some guitar related stuff.... as you may figure out, I'm obsessed with Dusan Bogdanovic's music.

 

A traditional lullaby done in an improvisatory manner - Dusan's specialty

Oh3YYYoWQUw

 

 

 

A very beautiful, hypnotic piece - probably my single favorite piece to play (but this isn't me)

VeK8B4Wq6BY

 

 

 

 

And another classical guitar genius - Carlo Domeniconi.

Here is his piece called Koyunbaba which is meant to evoke the Turkish countryside.

 

The first movement as performed by Aniello Desiderio

 

dCxtS6AZG7k

 

I can't find a really good clip of the 2nd movement yet...

 

 

The last two movements as performed by the composer

 

DwKDLgwTnQU

 

nqw043POqRw

 

ps it's not quite as hard as it sounds, I play it passably well, but certainly not like him.

If you're a guitarist, track down the music - it's a lot of fun to play.

I was listening to the latest NOMEANSNO album yesterday, and I am becoming more & more convinced that Rob has been studying Buddhism... it's all over the record once you think to listen for it.

 

NOMEANSNO is also not for your average dinner party... in case anyone is thinking about looking around for some.

Pretty good stuff!

Very old school sound, I guess that makes sense since they've been around since '79.

I don't know how I missed them.
