A million glorious music moments. Dip in wherever. They're all worthwhile, I promise.
Eno in one of his lovelier moments. From Before and After Science.
Worth the detour to the Youtube page. Armstrong was such a public figure that it's easy to forget how funky, precise and lovely his music could be. This little performance makes my liver quiver.
A short segment of a much longer performance. Debashish Battacharya always has the most glorious sound.
Mississippi John Hurt is unfuckwithable. This song is a particular favorite, for somehow managing to be playful, lecherous, a little sorrowful, and gently optomistic, all at once.
Anytime someone objects to "music today isn't as good as music of yesteryear", shit like this (and the next 5 or so) is good to display. This casual display of utter brilliance, by what looks like a bunch of 20-year olds, ought to make the average 'I know a jazz chord' guitarist weep. (Guitarists should just avoid most of these entirely, unless they need to change their pants anyway).

Any fans of both the VU and Marvin Gaye, will probably be suitably delighted/horrified by this. Good prank. Interesting creation.
In this clip, a contest is being held to see if music can melt stone. Spoiler alert: yes.
I love the Stars of the Lid. You should not listen to any of their music while driving or operating heavy equipment.
Most of the Chaurasia I've heard has been super-mellow and meditative; this has got some melody and activity to it, and is delightful.
Watch those fuckers' fingers. How do human beings do this?
Popol Vuh is one of my personal all-time-most-revered-musical-units. I could listen to this song every morning for the rest of my life.
Old friends made this song. I'd love it even if that wasn't true.
Someday, I will learn to play the Oud. But, I will never play any instrument as well as this guy plays the Oud.
The delights of this aren't so much musical, as existential.
The delights of this are completely musical. (And, maybe, existential too).
Over & out. Hope you enjoyed some of these.
