Music: Thelonious Monk

By Joerg Colberg on March 10, 2009 1:33 PM

Given that Fridays are now dedicated only to photo books, I think I'll stop posting music clips (or maybe just show something here and there). This one I really want to share, though, because of the amazing piano solo in the middle.

Friday Music Mix: Orff's Carmina Burana

By Joerg Colberg on February 27, 2009 1:06 PM

Everybody knows the first (and final) part of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, but what about the rest? Well, here we go. This is Jean-Pierre Ponnelle 1975 film version, which, depending on your point of view, is either überkitsch, total trash, or art house (or maybe all at the same time). If you want to hear what this piece was supposed to sound like you can find a great recording here (overseen by the composer himself, and very percussion heavy).

I was looking for something entirely different, but then I came across this...

Friday Music/Video Mix

By Joerg Colberg on January 23, 2009 12:10 PM

I came across this combination of a music and video mixing session by chance - unless you're interested in electronic music and/or in video art, you probably want to skip the rest of this post.

Friday Music Mix: Stereolab (pre 1995)

By Joerg Colberg on November 14, 2008 4:49 PM

Pre-1995, Stereolab were just amazing. After that... Not so much any longer...

Friday Monday music mix: Gary Numan

By Joerg Colberg on November 10, 2008 4:10 PM

The very first record I ever bought was actually a tape (!), and my dad had to take me to the record store, since I was only 11 and somewhat clueless about how that all worked (my dad didn't know, either, which didn't help). At the record store, they told me they couldn't find what I was looking for (an album by Tubeway Army that had "Are Friends Electric?" on it), but they noted that Gary Numan was pretty much the same thing. So they ordered (!) Gary Numan's "The Pleasure Principle" for me, and about two weeks later (did I mention I grew up in the middle of nowhere?) the tape arrived. When I heard "Metal" I thought it was about the coolest thing I had ever heard (which, of course, doesn't mean all that much when you're only 11). I should note that Gary Numan's amount of personal awkwardness evident from that promo video pretty much matched mine at age 11.

I'm seriously tired after this week's series of posts, so for today it'll only be underground/avantgarde hip hop act Dälek. One more:

Friday Music Mix: Mulligan & O'Haire

By Joerg Colberg on October 17, 2008 8:15 AM

A bit of comedy, courtesy of Reeves & Mortimer. My favourite bit is their interpretation of somebody else's song, using slightly unusual musical instruments. Another one:

Friday Music Mix: Guitars, guitars, guitars

By Joerg Colberg on October 3, 2008 12:11 AM

Maybe the right stuff, after the VP debate - this only works if you play it really loud. Mogwai. And a classic:

Friday Music Mix: Life During Wartime

By Joerg Colberg on September 19, 2008 3:41 PM

My favourite Talking Heads song (and I love the... well... "dance" moves). Another real classic, an early version (I usually like their earlier, sparser stuff better):

By Joerg Colberg on September 12, 2008 11:17 AM
