It’s about a decade old, but it’s a must see if you have ever watched one of his possessed live performances (or like his records for that matter). Humble, is the word.

I wanted to write a long blog post about Drive, Nicolas Winding Refn’s latest movie. Then I found this post. I’ll repeat:

Just go watch it.

New album in the making. It’s called Delta. I’ll be dropping a number of video diaries to give you a glimpse of the sounds and moods of this little beast.

Eat your vitamins and watch the first video diary here

This just landed on my digital desktop. A live performance by drone/synth rockers Emeralds from the 2010 Unsound Festival. I’ve never heard of them before, but I’m blown away… 35 minutes of epic greatness.

Emeralds live @ Unsound 2010

He converts the music from old tapes and share it as mp3s on his blog. I’ve been browsing and listening to a lot of the music in the last week, so I thought I’d share  my favourites.

Aster Aweke
Great Ethiopian pop music.

Mahmoud Guinea
Moroccan gnawa music.

Oudaden
More Moroccan music.
