#117 Water is my eye

I am quite positively sure that last Sunday I experienced the best concert I've even been to. In case you are wondering who I saw - it was Ben Howard. Anyhow, I won't describe into details the great musical and emotional experience but in a way the concert is related to the next songs. I just remembered how cool tapping is so I started to search similar artists and I came across Newton Faulkner, name I've seen before but never paid attention to his music..and it was a mistake.

I believe his cover of Teardrop (originally by Massive Attack) rocked my music world quite a lot, given the fact its just a youtube video. It's just amazing. Both the live (which I personally prefer) and studio version. For a tiny spec of time a strange came across my mind - why I picked up the drums instead of guitar. Then again I came back to Earth and it all made perfect sense ;)

One of the first tapping guitarists I found during my teenage years - Erik Mongrain - Airtrap

aaand a classic...John Butler - Ocean

#116 Sun will rise

Finally, a time and inspiration for a new post... life has been a carousel of exciting events and experiences lately which I guess changed me a tiny bit...in a better direction. There are some of the songs I found recently, so feel more than free to abuse the replay button.

Of Monsters and Men - Little talks

Pinback - Good to sea

Bonobo feat. Speech Debelle - Sun will rise

#115 I will walk with my hands bound

Usually I try to post not so obviously-famous (if thats a word?!) bands, but I just have to say something about Pearl Jam. It's the best study music ever, I think I heard the "Ten" album like..a dozen of times those days in the library..and trust me - those days are long..like giraffe long (wtf?!). Amazing album, from the first to the last song. The weird thing is that I've been listening to it since I remember myself but just now realized that most of the lyrics are quite..dark. And random thought - Jeremy reminds me of Pump up kicks from Foster the people (well the other way around..) :) 

Garden, Release, Why Go, Oceans, Black, Alive, Jeremy, Deep, Once, Porch, Even flow. Ten, one of the best albums from the 90s.

#114 The library music

Scrolling through the last posts it is quite obvious I haven't been very active in posting for a while. It's not because there is not good music to be shared... I guess I really felt quite idea-less (wtf, is there such word?). Anyhow, a friend of mine just put some good words about it so I kind of felt the call for hitting the CTRL+V a couple of times tonight. So, thank you mi amigo =)

Despite of being extremely awful live, Angels and Airwaves still have kick-ass song ..such as Start the Machine.

Let's throw in the post some good library music - Ratatat - Gettyburg and The Banana Sessions - Bananas (well thats very creative..)

#113 No use for a title

I feel the overwhelming urge to say...nah, say is way too dull.. to shout, scream ..oh well, just pass the following message - music is and has always been one of the greatest creation of our kind. It's fucking mental and mind-blowing. It's like... anyway - you know, I bet! Also, I love Incubus. Probably one of the few bands from my childhood I never got tired listening to. And despite the fact I have posted about them many times, it needs to be done again, sick sad little world!

Ok, I'll try to post something not THAT well-known so that paltry post might be useful to the few who read it =)

RUFUS - We left very promising young Australian band..their scene is almost never disappointing!

the next band actually makes me very, very proud! Quite the pleasant surprise from Bulgaria..- Southwick - Pink Skies

#112 Pinkpop

Summer is coming...well, kind of and the major festivals around Europe are announcing the upcoming line-ups so I had some fresh ideas for bands I haven't posted before on the blog! I would really like to check out Pinkpop in the Netherlands, legendary festival, but yeah... money don't grow on trees, so will see =)

I come across The Wombats very often (the name) but never listened to their music before, but I really liked what I heard so far! So the reason of the post today is Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves).

Another interesting bands (in my opinion) that will be on that festival this year are... Blood red shoes - I wish I was someone better, which are playing in the city where I live soonish, so fingers crossed.. and lets say.. Bombay Bicycle Club - Always like this

#111 Let me tell you about my day

Sometimes I really do enjoy quiet weekend evening..you know, without the usual lets-burn-this-city Friday/Saturday nights. It's not like it was very productive night, but I saw a funny movie, that just..takes your mind off things - the sitter. Anyhow, the best thing of the movie was the soundtrack, part of which are a couple of Raphael Saadiq songs. Funny coincidence, I might see him live on Monday. The guy is just truly amazing, despite all the troubling things one might have his music can always..you know just..make you go out of your daily bubble and smile. I'll throw a couple of other good songs ... and just call it a night, but I hope you enjoy the links below. 

Raphael Saadiq - Sometimes

The tallest man on Earth - The Dreamer

Mew - Introducing Palace Players <3
