these songs come from the album "The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most" by Dashboard Confessional, which came out 20 years ago today...this album earned the band a ton of worldwide exposure, made them poster boys for the emo resurgence at the time, and creating a pop punk revolution

the way he screams at the end of "This Bitter Pill" is amazing

Rock Sound later ranked it at number 38 on the list of best albums in their lifetime

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:



Edited to add comment.

Honey, we can't afford to look so cheap.

Chris Potter is probably the greatest living sax player. He takes a ride on West of Hollywood @ timepoint 4

 

[badger2]

Timepoint 4:45, if not mistaken.

 

[badger2]

Try timepoint 4:30.
