Wow!
But I can’t seem to find who’s playing that bass, is it all keyboard, even in the beginning where you here the snares of an upright?

Eurosong beyond the kitsch
When watching Eurosong a couple of weeks ago -while having a tapas-like dinner for hours and having great fun- one song stood out for me but I did not really enjoy the arrangements. But then a couple of days ago I heard “Saudade, saudade” (by Maro) in a complete live version and I was almost crying. So Eurosong not only is good for an evening of kitsch, fun and food, now and again it also lets the world get to know a beautiful song;
Music from Our Tube: Nilüfer Yanya – Midnight Sun
This is such a great song. I hear echos of Radiohead, Jose Gonzales and Jeff Buckley and yet it is a very original magnificently written and produced track with heaps of voice and guitar layers. Repeat!
Music from Our Tube: Naima Joris – Bloom (Radiohead)
This is how I “Bloom”…in mourning mode. Again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. Guess what keeps me alive…
Naima Joris, Facebook
This is not just a cover of a beautiful song (which I consider one of the best ever by Radiohead), this is so full of emotion, so real, so painful. Naima Joris is a great artist!
The Healing Force from Our Tube: Emanative
When I heard this on PBB (I think, but it might have been WorldWide FM as well) I thought it was a nice hat tip to spiritual jazz of the sixties & seventies, but it turns out it’s a cover/ remake of a tune that was originally performed by saxophonist Albert Ayler (mostly known as free-jazz saxophonist and protégé of John Coltrane) and written (and sung) by his partner Mary Maria Parks back in 1969.
Music from our Tube: Aimee Mann – I see You
Over 20 years have passed since first seeing Magnolia which not only was a beautiful movie, but also a testament to the great songwriter Aimee Mann is. “I see You” is a song from her new album “Queens of the Summer Hotel” and it is just as great!
Music from Our Tube: Joan As Police Woman & Tony Allen & Dave Okumu’s Geometry of You
Just when I was starting to get a good old-fashioned cold I heard this on the radio while in the car. It didn’t stop me from going into hibernation for a couple of days, but man what a great tune!
Music from Our Tube: The Lazy Eyes’ Where’s my Brain???
Having (had) lazy eyes myself I cannot help but sympathize with this band of Aussie youngsters. And “Where is my Brain??” is some crazy psychedelic motorik-beat (with a fill) driven piece of geniousness.
OK, that might be somewhat of an exaggeration, but look & listen carefully headphones on and the volume turned to 11!
Music from Our Tube: Robert Wyatt’s cover of “At Last I Am Free”
Last Sunday-evening while making the beds, listening to Charlotte Adigéry’s very enjoyable radioshow on Stubru, I heard “At last I Am Free”. Turns out Robert Wyatt actually covered this pretty uncharacteristic Chic-song, but I prefer his version:
