Jewel - "Who Will Save Your Soul"

wow, strong flashback to... studentyears, must be it.

Think Alex gave me a copy of her album.

Daniel Norgren - "Horrifying Death Eating Blood Spider"

Swedish, blues, roots, singer-songwriter

Raw, slightly crazy.

• Blind - Hey, I recognize this one
• Mean Old Devil Got On It - very Tom Waits, but that's probably because of that twingy guitar sound

Giant Sand - "Blurry Blue Mountain" (2010)

"relaxed, Americana, howe gelb, alt-country"

Sounds cool!

• Chunk of Coal - Leonard Cohen-ish, slow guitar
• Monk's Mountain - surf guitar-effect, cool, swinging
• Ride the Rail - rowhiiiiide!
• Lucky Star Love - a weird duet. not exactly beautiful, but kind of funny
• No Tellin' - slow, late-night
• Time Flies - bar-song, 4am, whiskey
• Better Man Than Me - grungy, bit Nick Cave-ish

Coffee: Monsoon Maz Abaar

(bought in London)

bit sweet.
bit shallow body, or did I prepare it too light?
perhaps more nutty than chocolate-y?
(oh wait, I didn't write chocolate-y)
no strong aftertaste at all.

Warpaint - "The Fool" (2010)

A bit of a guess, since after just listening to "Tamaryn" I wasn't sure I was in the mood for more "folk".

It turns out that "desert rock" is nothing like "shoegazing" though.

Evocative voice.

• Lissie's Heart Murmur: fast-paced, intense, rather nice.

Liked most songs, though none overly special

Tamaryn - "The Waves" (2010)

"folk, shoegazing" said the luisterpaal description.

Continuous long-stretched songs, immense soundwaves with voices that go on and on and on, becoming - for me - tiresome after a while.

Must admit I've skipped through songs after the 4th one. Working now, and it is too distracting.

Going Postal

Mini-series, basically 1 big film, split in two 90-minutes parts.

Enjoyable. Well done. A bit of a feel-good film.

But as with every Pratchett-film, I'm having a slight sense of discomfort. It is not *my* Pratchett... and I hope it never will.

Don't want no LoTR effect.

System Of A Down - "Radio / Video"

La lie lie lie lie lie lie,
Hey man! Look at me rockin' out,
I'm on the radiooooooo,
Hey man! Look at me rockin' out,
I'm on the videooooooo,
Hey man! Look at me rockin' out,
I'm on the radiooooooo,
Hey man! Look at me rockin' out,
I'm on the videooooooo,
