I Sat On The Roof And Kicked Off Kate Moss

So. Let us do this Tuesday with a bit of music, shall we? First in line is Youn Sun Nah, our feisty little Korean bird, with a song she sings pretty much the same as the original artist, Mazzy Star. It's quiet, it's slow, it's moody (so that's pretty much me these days). Come on, have a listen, you'll like it.

Into Dust - Youn Sun Nah (Down By Love)


Second one is a tad new-agey. You can leave that up to Lisa Gerrard, who's been doin' nothing else ever since she began moaning during the dramatic scenes in Gladiator. And moan she can, like a morning dove. She has a radically distinctive voice (bit masculine at times) but it's strangely soothing and it grows on you.

The Nomad's Path - Cye Wood & Lisa Gerrard (The Trail Of Genghis Khan)


I'm not quite sure what to think about this one. A recent, Canadian discovery (I liked the album cover), it's Kim Beggs giving us her interpretation of Americana (North-American Folk and Grassroots). It's filled with longing, heartbreak, working class oily rags and weeping guitars. What do you think?

Longest Dream - Kim Beggs (Blue Bones)


The legendary (and even that is an understatement) Quincy Jones (but I may call him Q) isn't too fond of social media, y'all. Comparing twitterfolk to 'people sitting behind a screen all day with their pants on the floor' he released his album No Hater Soul as a reaction to all the shit he got for releasing albums with modern artists recording his older work. People said he was trying to make an easy buck. So The Q released this album with a fine collection of artist using samples from the famous composer/producer.

Passin' Me By - The Pharcyde (No Hater Soul: Quincy Jones Samples Preferred)


My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style - Dream Warriors (No Hater Soul: Quincy Jones Samples Preferred)


Last but not least, it's Elton John with a special guest who thought the song was missing something.
