Alors on écoute quoi ?
On écoute Olivier Besancenot. Un peu éclipsé par le swag de Poutou ces dernières années, et pourtant il en a toujours sous la pédale le camarade. Humilité, empathie, intelligence, solidarité, qu’est-ce que ça fait du bien d’écouter des gens comme ça : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JZSSCKbs9M
Il avait pas volé mon premier vote à une présidentielle (oui, je suis vieux).
My contribution to a student recital in Kolkata (no I did not travel) this coming weekend. A short bandish (composition) in #raag Kafi by my teacher Debashish Bhattacharya.
Kafi is parallel to the Dorian mode in Western music, but with rules for what notes can be "shaken" or glided.
The instrument is my Pushpa Veena, which is sort of a hybrid between slide guitar and sarod.
imagine, if you will, the punkest internet pirate radio station of all time. stuffed to the brim with top-shelf tunes handpicked by none other than yours truly, the fediverse's favorite pirate radio DJ, vantablack!!! and interstitched with a healthy portion of video game soundtracks, a smattering of anime intros, an assortment of cursed mashups, some various memes, television and movie snippets, numerous other fun odds and ends, and anything else i can think of!!!!!this... is vantaradio
As you sit with your cyberdeck in front of the dataterm, trying to hack the corpo building, you realize that you are missing the right music. Suddenly, you remember that you downloaded a few audio files from an artist in Berlin from the old-net, an artist specializing in the perfect music for netrunning sessions.
You upload the tracks to your cyberdeck and let yourself be immersed in the digital world by the driving beats and pulsating synths. It's time to start your hack and infiltrate the corpo system - with the right music in your ears, you are unstoppable!
Its Wednesday a time for sharing great female music artists. My pick this week is:
Rising Appalachia is an American Appalachian folk music group, led by multi-instrumentalist sisters Leah Song and Chloe Smith. Their music is deeply rooted in the landscapes of Atlanta, New Orleans, and the southern Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia. What distinguishes Rising Appalachia is their ability to blend a diverse range of instruments and styles. Their musical palette spans from banjos and fiddles to djembe, balafon, congas, tablas, kalimbas, beatbox, and even didgeridoo. This distinctive combination gives rise to a musical mosaic that seamlessly interweaves elements of world, folk, and soul music.
