Earlier I was listening to Béla Bartók "String Quartet No. 5", on the record player.

You Tube being amazing, they have all of Bartók's String Quartet's uploaded.

The painting in the background of course, this is Wassily Kandinsky's "Composition VIII" from 1923, Kandinsky's early Bauhaus period....I love Kandinsky, one of my favourite artists.

This is the Allegro from "String Quartet No. 5":



Then I listened to Imarhan, who are Tuareg from Algeria and are on City Slang Records which is owned and run by some friends of our's in Berlin:

City Slang Records

Imarhan

The whole Imarhan album is completely astonishing.

This is Imarhan's song "Tahabort" which is amazing, incredibly intricate guitar work and in general just extraordinary noise, they're on tour throughout Europa this month and also March, we must go and watch them do their thing:

No. 5 reminded me of being in New York City rush hour traffic, with brief breaks cutting through quiet side streets and alleys, and quickly back in the horn-honking mess again.

It might work for some people. Not me.

So this now 8 months later above first posting # 10087 my Arab Strap post. During my away for the 8 months I give the hug to Pogo for caring for our excellent joint thread and also to Kat and Coyote for helping that this thread stay friendly and happy and only on the Music subject and that the thread stay not derailed and Off Topic with arguing etc.

Ooooooooooooosie Liebchen! I was just about to contact you to catch up. Fröliche Weinachten und so weiter und vielen Dank. Hope all is well in your doings and projects and most of all your family. Milady's thread honor has been well preserved and thanks to all who have continued to input.

Welcome back, you have been sorely missed.
