Here’s a neat interview with Jónsi Birgisson, the lead singer from Sigur Rós. He recently released a solo album called Go (free stream of the album!), which is pretty neat. A few songs are preformed live between parts of the interview.
Look at all this near content. I’m a posting machine!
It’s unfortunate that many people only remember Bobby McFerrin as the “Don’t Worry Be Happy” guy. Don’t get me wrong, that is one hell of a catchy tune, but there’s a lot more to Bobby than that.
I happened upon a great collaboration between Adult Swim (or is it adult swim? [adult swim]? Annnywho..) and Ghostly International called Ghostly Swim.
It’s a funktastically electronic compilation featuring some pretty kick-ass artists, and the best part is that it’s freely available to stream and download! You can also pick up a physical copy on Ghostly’s site.
Still not convinced? Here’s a video to further explorer the aforementioned awesomeness:
But wait, there’s more! Check out more tracks at Kutiman’s site, Thru You.
These mixes remind me of the VideoSongs by Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn of Pomplamoose. You’ll see every instrument or vocal part in the video somewhere.
To me, the big difference between Kutiman and Pomplamoose (other than style of music, of course) is that Kutiman is mixing from a bajillion video of questionable sound quality while Pomplamoose records at seemingly near studio quality. Both are awesome, but big kudos to Kutiman for making everything sound so clean and freakin’ funktastic regardless of the scattered and varied sources.
