Love a bit of world chill

Nice piece of old REM footage.
Nothing too angsty.
Perfect.

A little bit more in the same vein:

Love me some R.E.M.

Radiohead - Bloom off new album King of Limbs

Welcome to A2K, Kid A.

I'm listening to a radio interview with Adele. She'll be performing live later in the program. Great voice.

You shouldn't have said that, panz.
I need so little encouragement!

This one reminds me of a train trip I took from Tucson Arizona to Orlando Florida. Man, the US is a huge country.
I passed so many back yards and looked through so many windows.

Ms. Olga - do you know if there is any complete recording of Galveston by REM
anywhere? Did they include it on one of their albums? I have most of their albums, but I may have missed one or two.

The reason I ask is because I LOVE that song and I love the way they start to do it here and it's so frustrating not to be able to hear it all the way through, but I can't find it anywhere.

I went to see my friend Adrian in his bluegrass band last night. Wish I had recordings of them playing/singing. They were fantastic!
But I have to content myself with listening to others do some of the songs they did:

A nice bit of tangotriphop from Gotan Project courtesy of shuffle

I was reading a message from a long, lost friend who found me on facebook and watching a tv show at the same time. I had told her about my father's death and she had reminded me of the time that she had come home from university with me and had ridden into the city on the train with my father - I had totally forgotten. At the same moment I was reading her message relating her memories of my father as such a good, kind man - this song came on as the end of the tv show.
I feel my dad's death was the END OF MY INNOCENCE:

I hear ya.

Whatever happened to boundary breaking music....

Page Wilson passed away yesterday. Here's a lovely song about my home state Virginia.




Page Wilson is a longtime fixture in the Richmond, VA music scene. He has "lived off" music in some way or another since 1975, from week-long stands in smokey bars to sharing the stage with the likes of Stephen Stills, Taj Mahal, Kris Kristofferson, and Jerry Jeff Walker. In 1986 Page took to the area airwaves as host of his own weekly "Out of the Blue Radio Review".

Bridge of Love was recorded live before an audience at In Your Ear Studios with Velpo Robertson and Joe Sheets engineering, producing, and mastering. The album features his band Reckless Abandon, which includes Page on guitar and vocals, Billy Lux (Heights of Grass) on upright bass, Chris Fuller on mandolin and vocal harmonies, Jay Gillespie on acoustic guitar, and Charles Arthur on Dobro (also of Johnny Hott's Piedmont Souprize and Jim Dudley's Chez Roue). The 12 tracks on the CD include some Page Wilson standards, some new tunes, and renditions of several traditional songs. The cover art was drawn by Page's daughter Virginia Blue.
