Barra Barra - Rachid Taha.

I love this song - it's definately in my top three songs of all time. You may recognise it from the Black Hawk Down movie/soundtrack (the soundtrack to Black Hawk Down just happens to be my favourite cd ever).

This (one of my favouritest tracks ever!),



was apparently based on this, which I had never heard before I started playing with youtube links:

Pretty much anything by Sarah Blackwood / Walk off the Earth is awesome, I've discovered.

The artwork for her new vinyl covers is pretty nifty:

I suggest throwing the lyrics into google translator, it handles them quite well. Also, such a pretty song!
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I agree with mr jade hog. I quite like the way they cut tiny fragments out of the video to give the headbanging some oomph, too. Attention to detail.

Also, with regard to All About Maggie: to paraphrase Anja Garbarek: "can I keep her?"

One of the more unique, utterly bizarre and yet infinitely listenable tracks of 2011 (from an artist who really impresses me with ingenuity)

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

Orbital is still alive and kicking? I didn't know that. Must buy music, that.

It's also hard not to like Oh Land and how catchy they are. 'Tis a good week for me discovering music!
