yesterday I attended to the “concert” Rick Ross gave at local club “L’Amnesia”. I wish there was a lot to say about it, but there isn’t. Great music.

Schubert’s beautiful Lieder never cease to delight. Especially on a grim and gray day in December. Goethe’s poem ‘Heidenröslein’, sung by Fritz Wunderlich.

Tonight is Sunday. I transmit from a small cottage in Romandy, Switzerland. It’s cold outside AND inside. I’m wearing a coat. And listening to THIS.

So what? I mean, good for so-and-so, really, but also, good for me, and good for you too, because we all do what we do and sometimes, that’s worth feeling happy about.

Seems like Novembre Magazine collaborator KOUDLAM has been getting a lot of attention in London lately. Been hearing his track See You All everywhere.

Thanks to Vincent Normand, I recently discovered the latest works of San Francisco duo Barn Owl. Give it a whirl!

“At the beginning of all our shows I want to tell people not to get wrapped up with what we’re doing physically, but to listen with a different set of ears, to be open to what could happen just from listening to the music.” (…) “Drone can be used to answer questions that you couldn’t usually answer,” they say. “It’s a vehicle to enter the spiritual world from the physical and take something back.” (in Nada Mucho)

The music enters your head and worms its way around, like acupuncture opening up energy channels.
