Sweden is my music capital!

Posted by Kim in Electronic, Foreign, Genre, Indie, Music on July 18th, 2010

I can’t begin to describe why I think I should relocate to Sweden. Perhaps the first line of this song will explain: “I’m in love with your brother”.

Sweden is my music mecca, I know it.

AHHH!!!! FEVER RAY!

Posted by Kim in Electronic, Genre, Indie, Music, Music Videos on July 16th, 2010

Ack! I am now having a musical orgasm because I just discovered that a member of my favorite band The Knife released a solo project under her pseudonym Fever Ray. And that was back in 2009! Where have I been all this time? It is a FANTASTIC record! I cannot stop listening to its haunting tunes and melancholic (somewhat post-apocalyptic) vibe. My heart is flying high in the clouds of musical ecstasy!

Turning to all that jazz

Posted by Kim in Foreign, Genre, Jazz, Music, Music Videos on July 16th, 2010

I once wrote how I love to listen to Chet Baker in the morning. As of now, I’m at an all time high on fetishism for his music. So there’s hardly a day that passes that I don’t unwind to one of his songs. Lately, I was looping some of his most painful tunes: the ones recorded at that time that his trumpet playing was characteristically and technically bad. It has a coarseness to it that I found profoundly sad. There’s a song I have in mind entitled, “If you could see me now”.

For now, I’ll give you this rendition by Bill Evans Trio. Leave it up to you to look up on Chet.

Kings of Convenience – Boat behind

Posted by Kim in Folk, Foreign, Indie, Music Videos on July 7th, 2010

I absolutely dig their album “Declaration of Dependence”. Full of feel good song, healthy for the heart. Thanks to Kaye for bringing my attention this music.
