Songs of the day 23st of March - 2011



Graciously taken from listening to thesixtyone.com today. Some links go to the youtube some to thesixtyone.com Please note that I rarely listen to the actual text of the songs, just the music and the rhythm. Primarily because I do not listen to them from my head phones, my hearing is a bit shot and the speakers now are from the laptop and a bit low volume.

My Mathematical Mind - Spoon # ok

The `59 Sound - The Gaslight Anthem # This is nice! Good tempo.

Quiet When Group - Boduf Songs # no impression

All Those Pretty Lights - Andrew Belle # Annoying voice at a start, maybe it improves? No it did not really.

Peacock Dance - The Smooth Maria # Improves later on in the song.

A Letter To An Old Friend (in the key of E flat) - Two Bicycles # Slow, the occasional banjo? Good thing I'm not the author of Larson (who supposedly hates banjos ;). Xylophone too maybe? Is this a band or a one-man show? Quite nice anyway.

Adieu, adieu - The Pharmacy # Psychadelic?

In Ruins - Fol Chen # Smooth voice. Asiatic sounds, chinese/japanese that is. Quite refreshing.

Memento Mori - Unmorph # Ambient? I like this mix ;) Although I did not touch the settings. Not only ambient, also some parts I would definitely call industrial.

Rain - Curious? # More xylophones or at least some kind of bell instrument. Relaxing. No vocals. Does the song sound a little bit like rain drops hitting the bells? They do feel random occasionally but with a rhythm.

Social Standing - Tatiana Kochkareva Singer is Russian - studied Jazz. Is this song jazz though? I have no idea. For sure I will look this one up later and listen to the lyrics.

Comfortable Haze - The Day Life # Playful guitar scenes, especially in the end. A little sad voice.

Favorites: Two bicycles, Fol Chen, The Gaslight Anthem and Tatiana Kochkareva.
