At this very moment I’m listening to Rodrigo and Gabriela. And enjoying it very much. It was dopers, amongst others, who led me to this excellent music. ---

[DakhaBrakha - Vesna](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3OJVMuHwcU). Heard them on PHC and was interested enough to find them on YouTube. I’m crushing on the drummer a little. I love the mournful sound of the vocal combined with the cello. Also loving [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNgZmeYtFYw) and [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgc5l9X3Dn4) video from Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. ---

I saw them on Colbert a while ago. A good, strong sound, and the lead singer has a timbre that I like. [Here’s](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Beo_jHowU-I) an odd cover of the old Ernie Ford song _16 Tons_ that I ran across. It makes me smile. ---

I’d heard and enjoyed a couple of their songs before, so I bought Dream Theater’s **Octavarium** the other day. I’m glad I did. I wouldn’t consider myself a huge fan of metal, but I really love this album. I also finally picked up Daft Punk’s **Random Access Memories**. The perfect mix of catchy melodies and emotional, evocative performances. ---

I’m not a religious person, but I have to say Gavin Bryars piece “Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet” is one of the most beautiful pieces of classical music I’ve heard in a long time. It’s a minimalist piece; a repeated recording of a homeless bum singing an old folk song with an increasingly dense instrumental background. And then when you think you’ve heard everything, Tom Waits comes in and sings along for the last third of the piece! It’s a great work, even if it is 74 minutes long. Play it right after “Christian Zeal and Activity” by John Adams. ---

Tartanic’s album Uncivilized has been playing constantly in my car and on my phone for about two months now. It’s the mood music for the book I was working on. I’m done with the first draft of the book now… time to find something else. ---

I’ve been pretty much obsessed with Public Service Broadcasting for the past year. They’re finally coming to Stockholm in May (wahey). [Everest](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhgfzEm3CWU) [Spitfire](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u4Md_aXVJE) Basically they play instrumental music with dialogue taken from old public service films. The videos are composed from clips from the films. And it works a lot, LOT, better than it sounds. I can’t imagine what their third or fourth album would be like, but the one album they have done is brilliant.
