Morcheeba - "Fragments Of Freedom"

Mostly instrumental, few vocals and voice samples. A flute reminiscing about stairways to heaven.

Paul White - "Honey Cats" (2014)

Strange but very musical music. Lots of long drawn out vocals and semi-close harmony, but also dark jazz rhythms and echoing voices.

Gemma Ray - "The Wheel" (2014)

Voice-wise a duet quite similar to Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell. Hints of swamp.

It is a weird mix of styles. From almost poppy to slightly electronic to the symphonic "Rubbing Out Your Name".

"Runaway", an older song, sounds quite promising with a ominous base guitar and surf guitar, then suddenly turns all poppy during the chorus. A shame.

Hadewych Minis & Mike Boddé - Schubert & U2

Amazing. Literally breathtaking.

Siouxsie / The Creatures and John Cale - "Murdering Mouth"

Her of Siouxsie and the Banshees, but post Banshees and currently "The Creatures" period: great duet with John Cale in Paradiso while performing "Murdering Mouth"

Death Race 2000 (1975)

Odd ball dystopian "ultimate violence" race of five cars, with David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone, in a "post-economic" America with a dictator ruling from China. Funny cars with teeth and blades, points for killing women, children and babies.

Nothing spectacular but fun.

"But we like the violence! Violence! Violence! Violence!"

The Lost Boys (1987)

Quite bad but, for a tired Sunday evening, funny enough film about a gang of teenage-punks-slash-vampires, with a young Kiefer Sutherlands.

Monomyth - "Further"

Interesting 4-track album, soundscapes, drums, guitars, organ like..

Camera - "Remember I Was Carbon Dioxicde"

psych, ambient (space- and krautrock, 3voor12 calls it)

Pretty amazing. Instrumental, varied.

• Haeata - slow soundscape, amazing

Soap&Skin

interesting minimalist, mostly instrumental, mix of electronica.

Soap&Skin intrigued. How about these song names:

• janitor of lunacy
• turbine womb
• Thanatos - sounds vaguely familiar. Poppier than the rest.

Bobby Blue Bland - "Ask Me 'Bout Nothing But The Blues"

Old fashioned blues, quite good.

La habitación de Fermat

Fun film about four math wizards getting lured into a room that slowly crunches them. Not spectacular, but a fun watch.

Valeria Luiselli - "Sidewalks"

Amazing collection of short essays, vignettes, to be read and reread constantly. If you need to get inspired by a place, a city, any city, read this.

Tom Lanoye - "Gelukkig slagen"

Leuk om te lezen en mooie zinnen en omschrijvingen, maar het verhaal zelf deed me niet heel veel.

Beth Hard and Joe Bonamassa - "If I Tell You I Love You"

On "Tito & Tarantula", very Vaya Con Dios.

Bell Orchestre - "Elephants" (As Seen Through Windows)

Strange instrumental music.

zerO One - "rOcketship" (sOnar)

beats, with 80's strings. Nice.

Swans - "The Seer Returns"

hard to define this kind of music. Gritty, audio landscape, mesmerizing.

I guess "southern gothic" could apply as well.

The Wytches - "Annabel Dream Reader"

psycho surf, aka "evil surf doom".

Crazy voices. Power. Aggressive.

Metallica - "Master of Puppets" (Master of Puppets)

That guitar solo in the middle is still the pits...
