Seems like a good day for frosty Polish electropop.

Enjoying this piece of revivalist garage/proto-house

I often feel like I should listen to more italian music. So melodic.

Discovered this while researching for the Italo poll:

I talked psych-pop with a friend today. He liked the psychy stuff, I liked the poppy. Reminded me I kinda prefer MPB to Tropicalia, and reminded me then of this incredible creation:

More pop-songs should be less than three minutes long yet include a dozen instruments include harmonica and end with a big male choir singing 'Amen'.

So, went to christmas evening service on wednesday, at the cathedral in Copenhagen, where Copenhagen's Boys Choir, my old choir, sings. They ended with this here, for the first time ever, I think:

I resulted in aplause from the churchgoers, which, you know, is not usually how a service concludes. But it is a very very beautiful song, sounded very angelic in the cathedral space.

Karl Malone so glad to see you repping that Belong album upthread: it's one of my favorites...

From 1981. The whole album is terrific, sounds a bit like a cross between The Cure and the more abrasive end of the postpunk spectrum; though this song in particular brings to mind nothing so much as Moonshake's Eva Luna, a decade too early amd with a healthy dose of coldwave mixed in.

a gorgeous kwaito track from south africa. i think this is just perfect.

Barre Phillips - Grant's Pass

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuWv_PLjAlM

minimalist ECM jazz. it reminds me of old-time fiddle music even though it's most obviously patterned after Steve Reich

17 year old songwriter from Derry

cot DAN, Cylob

can't get this song out of my head. how many 80's revival people have ever reached this level of awesome? my beloved lansing-dreiden might have been able to pull off a song like this. Tim Finney's beloved Studio maybe.

Just discovered this amazing Prince-written Kid Creole song from 1990.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdOZQ1LFxwQ

^ that's 'The Sex Of It' by Kid Creole and the Coconuts btw

i really like that Barre Phillips track posted above

Mariam the Believer - Black Mark: shambala meets Melanie de Biasio, or something...would probably have voted for Mariam in EOY if I'd heard it in time.

A friend played "guess what this is" and it was fun for him to see me guessing a bunch of contemporary Wire-y names off the top and then watch my expression turned to awe

John Surman - Dark Reed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW6Si4dqZBU

ECM jazzman tries his hand at Bohren-style dark jazz (sort of)

that Odetta song Scott shared is amazing! did she record anything else in the same vein?

Deuter - Offener Himmel I - Gelichzeitig

― once a week is ample

I'm loving everything on the afrobeats thread. the posters there are true experts, amazing knowledge. But this track stood out for me as being pretty unique among a genre that is in itself full of variety anyhow

Track is 'Godwin' by Korede Bello

I'm sure a fair share of you are familiar with this track but I'd forgotten he (mu-Ziq, u -ziq ??) was still making music. Lovely stuff.

How had I never heard 'Weekend Special' by Brenda & the Big Dudes before?!

This Italian mega-hit from 94 plays a significant role in The Wonders, the delightful film that one the Grand Prix from Cannes last year. Good poptune, great film.

24 years this week since Soviet indie-punk singer Yanka Dyagileva died (at 24 years old). Can't stop listening to Na Chornii Den'.

^^^ That's really cool. My ex had a copy of "Not Permitted" that we knew nothing about because it was all in Cyrillic. Any idea what album that electric version of "Na Chornii Den" is on?

Xp, it's on "Domoi".

Thanks!

Fantastikoi Hxoi - 'Etos 2525'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyIUZgcpTnA

modern krautrock/spacerock composed of samples from old Greek psych LPs. I found this album on some random blog in ≈2010 but I haven't properly listened to it until now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tSYXpq2kW0
I can't get this out of my head recently, have been playing the album frequently and love Autumn Leaves as well, but there is just "something" about love for sale.

That Fantastikoi Hxoi is great! (also weird that it's not transliterated as Echoi or Exoi, unless I'm up meself.)

ILXor, ithappens, posted this the other day on Facebook and I haven't been able to stop listening to it since.

New Musik - This World of Water

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbJIu_na4gY

One of the funner things with foreign films is getting to know cheesy pop songs from other countries. This is from the new Ozon, and is probably a queer anthem in France. It's used that way, anyway. It's catchy.

Brigit Novik - The Wedding Dance

partner of + collaborator with Robin 'Pop Muzik' Scott, aka M

this is very jaunty! is the melody borrowed from something famous, it seems familiar, but I can't place it?

the verse melody kind of reminds me of Kraftwerk's 'The Model'

Silvania - Pálido final

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzlIA_LTkVY

dubby ambient pop by a Mexican band that started out as a shoegaze act. ymmv.

"Murmuration" - GoGo Penguin. I'm not familiar with modern jazz but a friend hipped me to this and its really lovely.
