my favorite stuff from all over in no particular order:

asa and ayo are female singer/songwriters from africa who sing in english, but are worth a listen.

oliver mtukudzi is from zimbabwe with an incredible timbre to his voice. i love vieux diop, a singer and kora player from mali who's songs i find relaxing and beautiful. vieux farka toureis also from mali, and sometimes he makes you think his guitar is an electric kora.

seconding manu chao, lots of fun.

rodrigo Y gabriela are a guitar duo from mexico city. they do a lot of flamenco type stuff. this is them doing a flamenco stairway to heaven--they also do a couple of metallica songs. willie and lobo are another mexican duo (guitar and violin) that has more of a gypsy feel to their flamenco. they also do some great (wordless) ballads that are excellent for relaxation.

cuba's los van van makes great salsa, but for a really fun latinesque sampler, get this.

zap mama is from belgium, does songs in many languages. I think the older stuff is less "poppy." les nubians is a sister duo that sings french (pop) hip hop. they've worked with erykah badu and the roots.

outback doesn't exist anymore, but it's great didge background music, but if you like the didge, check out this freak. i mean that in a good way.

hamza el din has passed, but his nubian oud music is timeless.

if you like meditating or just zoning out, snatam kaur will take you to another planet--she's the real deal.

celso fonseca, ceu, and bossacucanova are doing contemporary bossa nova. great for lazy afternoons or a romantic dinner.

i really love seu george, but mostly listen to his portuguese bowie covers from 'the life aquatic.'.

you probably know ladysmith black mambazo from putumayo. their songs range from poignant ballads to energetic, makes-you-wanna-jump-around songs. to get a deeper range of the style and their south african contemporaries, check this out. great, great stuff.

i know there's a shit-ton of hawaiian music, but probably someone from there can help you sort out the good from bad. if you want to check out some beautiful tahitian music, emma terangi was one of the best & most beautiful. here she is later in life, but having a good time on a RFO show. looks like a tahitian hee-haw.

lastly, lee everton may be a white guy from switzerland who sings in english, but his reggae fits right in with donavan frankenreiter or jack johnson.

happy listening,

  1. I just got home from my bank! Now I'm relaxing on the couch with my kitty.
  2. It was really hot outside and in the car, so it's nice to sit back and enjoy the air conditioning for a few minutes :)
  3. Tomorrow I'm going to do the same thing I do every day--try to take over the world!! Mwahahahaha. Or apply for jobs, the one occupation of the unemployed haha.
  4. My number one goal right now is to find a job!! I hate not working, and I'm really quite bored of my forced vacation haha.
  5. I do not have a desk. But on the couch with me is a pair of scissors, a little dessert bowl that used to be holding a bunch of blueberries, my one-eyed hairless cat, and a folder full of my sister's schoolwork.
  6. Place words, phrases, or clauses that describe nouns and pronouns as closely as possible to the words they describe.
  7. One of my sister's school books, titled "Writing Skills: Success in 20 Minutes a Day"
  8. A bite of English toffee from Disneyland!! I like to get sweets at their sweet shops to enjoy for a couple of days after my trip :)
  9. Well, currently I'm working my way through The Know-It-All by A.J. Jacobs! I'm really enjoying it.
  10. Wow, this is a really tough question for me, because I've been doing a lot of reading since I graduated. I really enjoyed "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green though, so I guess I'll call that my favorite.
  11. I think this question is fun, so I'm going to answer for each of my wishlists! I'm obviously NOT ASKING for all these things--I just like seeing the cool stuff on my wishlists :D My most wanted item from my Expensive Things wishlist is this kindle with all the bells and whistles. Obviously that's not something I'm ever expecting to get gifted--it's my wild dream item that I'm super excited about saving up for :) My most wanted thing from my default list is this kitty seat! My cat isn't allowed outside, but she loves sitting by the window and looking out--I'd love for her to be able to do that more comfortably :) My most wanted book from that wishlist is A Dance with Dragons because NOBODY TOLD ME A FEAST FOR CROWS DIDN'T HAVE ANY DANY OR TYRION IN IT. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THEM! My most wanted movie is either Tangled or Brave, because I love Disney princesses and I don't have those movies yet D: My most wanted music is The Lumineers, because they're amazing! And my most wanted cheap thing is The Essence of Style, because I've been dying to read this book for YEARS. That gives you lots of options of my most-wanted things, so you can pick what you like the most if I win!

    Thanks so much for the contest! DANG IT I POSTED BEFORE INCLUDING Zweihander BECAUSE I'M SILLY. Thanks for the contest!! I had fun with it :)
u/Nav_Panel · 4 pointsr/LetsTalkMusic

Really fascinating article, and I can understand why people here haven't commented on it yet -- it's a racially touchy topic, and also the article was more about the "old-timey" minstrel comedic style moreso than music. However, I'd like to comment on a few areas... (I was going to comment at work, but I really wanted to take my time with the article and associated Youtube videos. I'm glad I did.)

First, I don't think we give enough credit to the minstrel show culturally. Many more things originated from the minstrel show than many are aware of; stuff similar to "originating the riddle 'Why did the chicken cross the road?'" Here's a few brief examples:

  • Mickey Mouse is a blackface minstrel. Check this out. The more you think about it, the more things you notice. His gloves especially. Why would a mouse be wearing gloves? Sit on it a while.
  • The "Ba-Dum Tss" when someone makes a lame joke comes from the minstrel show. There used to be two performers on the opposite ends of the show, one called "Mr. Tambo" and the other called "Mr. Bones." Whenever a (slapstick) joke was made, they'd hit their respective instruments in a manner not far from that little rhythm we're so familiar with.
  • The minstrel show brought us classic country/folk music in some odd way. The banjo was an instrument picked up by white minstrel performers in the middle of the 19th century as a "traditional black instrument" for the minstrel shows. The influence of these shows dispersed into the hills and the rural areas down south, where the blackface and racism eventually faded out, leaving the songs and melodies and instruments via the folk/oral tradition. This happened way faster than you might expect. Listen to this (undeniably catchy but unfortunately played back too fast) minstrel tune from 1902 (Vess Ossman was truly god of the banjo! Also, language warning). Is it too far a stretch to think that this kind of music turned into hillbilly country and also led into ragtime (same banjo player) and jazz (if you listen carefully, you'll find a lot of early jazz features the banjo as a rhythm instrument. I love it!) If you want a more detailed history, I strongly recommend this book (we read it in a class I took on Rock & Roll) -- its first few chapters on minstrelsy and ragtime are fantastic, although it starts to dip in quality a tad in the jazz/blues portion. Its companion CD is pretty interesting too, but most of it's on Youtube anyway.

    Anyway, back to the article. I like how it presented a bunch of different viewpoints on why black performers chose to use blackface without necessarily forcing its own view on the reader. We often forget just how prevalent the whole blackface thing was. Here's a clip from "The Jazz Singer," (one of the first "talkies" and just a really good movie) and this is a performance on BROADWAY.

    I especially dug that hiphop tune at the end. I find it interesting that this utterly racist form of entertainment has been a force behind American culture even through the 60s and into more modern music that seems to be so far removed from the ideas that originally were behind minstrelsy: notably, the desire for white (Irish)men to emphasize that they were white and not black. In an ironic twist, this has (arguably) been reversed to white teenagers changing their culture to try and be more "black," a trend whose roots begin where the old minstrel show left off.

    I'll leave you with one last quote from the book I linked above:

    > Although many have tried and oft, none has yet found a way... to escape the plain fact that all that is American in American music, and all that is good, traces its bloodlines through the minstrel show -- an institution through which white Americans stole, plundered, colonized; raped, prostituted, and pimped; contaminated and diluted; misinterpreted and misunderstood; ridiculed, patronized, bucked, scorned and - in some strange way - passionately loved the music and the culture of black America.
u/TannerEvil · 1 pointr/punk

Not so much cartoons, but Nerf Herder has a lot of good material you could probably use. I'd recommend 'Mr. Spock,' 'Manatee,' or 'She's a Sleestak.'

Another option I could recommend is an album a buddy of mine bought called Faux Real. A bunch of bands I've never heard of cover the songs that fictional bands play. http://www.wired.com/2014/03/mystik-spiral-dr-teeth/

John Cougar Concentration Camp has a song called 'Half Assed Jedi' which is right up there with 'A New Hope' since that was on your list already.

I think a lot of Aquabats could count, particularly songs off Charge!! I'd recommend 'Nerd Alert,' 'Stuck in the Movies,' or 'Awesome Forces.'

I think there's a bunch of internet famous songs you could cover that would go over well also. Lemon Demon's 'The Ultimate Showdown' is one that comes to mind right away.

There's one of those lame corporate pop punk bands that does a song called 'Hey Mario' about the plumber that's actually pretty catchy if you don't mind something on the pop side of things.

I know there's way more could think of, I'll give it more thought and edit my post with updates.

EDIT: That was quick, there was one right at the back of my mind

Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits: http://www.amazon.com/Saturday-Morning-Cartoons-Greatest-Hits/dp/B000002OYG

Also if you were comfortable covering a little bit of rap there's some great options also. Weird Al's 'White and Nerdy' and anything by Starbomb comes to mind.

u/broken_ship · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

My absolutely favorite thing to do in the summer is go bike riding! Unfortunately my bike was stolen last year (it happens a lot on my campus unfortunately), but I'm scouring CL! At my parents house I have this really lovely, vintage Schwinn that I take out every chance I get. :)
June Hymn is a beautiful song in general, but its slow and lovely. Perfect for spring and casual bike-riding. It also includes my favorite word, that I just mentioned in a discussion!

Hooke

Unless that's too expensive then this would be much appreciated!

Thanks for the contest!

u/banjoman74 · 1 pointr/Bluegrass

There's a great CD that's a tribute to Paul Warren.

It features Charlie Cushman and Johnny Warren (Johnny is Paul's son) recreating many of the great duets that Earl and Paul Warren played. It's a two volume CD, and if you find it, it's a great album to add to your collection.

Every since hearing Crooked Still, I fell in love with the concept of a cello in bluegrass. It has the sustain and the bottom end. It's a very nice addition, and I feel fills in effectively in a lot of components. That's a nice combo. But I bet it takes a lot of work. It's a like a Rockabilly band. Everyone has to concentrate hard for three minutes to create a complete song, and you really have to play as a band. When it's done right, it can be amazing.

|name|Creeping Lovely|
|about artist|Formed in San Francisco in early 2004, Creeping Lovely began as a musical collaboration between Robb Mills (Indiana) on guitar and Miriam Barry (Dublin, Ireland) performing vocals. Robb's collection of jazz and classical influenced guitar compositions and Miriam's beautifully crafted vocal melodies blended perfectly to create the music of Creeping Lovely. With the addition of cellist Shana Kirsch, Creeping Lovely's sound became warmer, richer, and even more dynamic. Creeping Lovely completed their first set of recordings in 2005.

This would be a great place to start. I was (still am) a big fan of Scandinavian folk (especially when electrified) and Northside records had a great set of bands. The quartet in the video (Loituma) are on this sampler with another tune that is simply gorgeous.

Hedningarna are also fantastic (my fave song by them isn't on the sampler, but give a listen here).

And I love Hoven Droven...Had all 5 band members sing a CD at a club date a few years ago - so much damn fun live.

For beautiful female vocals, try Vaartina (not on the sampler). Here's one of many beautiful examples. And here's another because, why not?

u/IFeelOstrichSized · 4 pointsr/Coffee

Glad to help. It is a really good album. If you're interested there are also a lot of collections like this made for other countries, like Guitars of the Golden Triangle which collects Burmese folk and pop. There's also a Saigon Rock & Soul which is a collection of Vietnamese music and Pomegranates which collects Iranian music.

Also, if based on the songs you like I think you might enjoy the album Middle Eastern Rock by John Berberian and the Rock East Ensemble. Oud and the Fuzz is an especially awesome song.

Edit: Here's some more good ones: African Scream Contest and this collection of Middle Eastern Rock. There's also a really good "Flamenco Rock" album by Sabicas called "Rock Encounter". Here's the first track... give it some time to get good.

u/stephalupagus · 1 pointr/Music

I absolutely love my 2 disc Jackson C. Frank "Blues Run the Game" set. It's 42 tracks, every recording he ever did. Many of the songs are short, and very, very poor quality but the soul contained in each one just takes my breath away and breaks my heart. His voice is so hauntingly beautiful and he just lays every ounce of himself out in his words. Knowing a little bit of his very tragic background brings an even deeper element to his music.

I wish so badly he got the chance to become more recognized and appreciated... If you like folk/blues or just want to appreciate some honest music, give him a listen. I think you can find a couple of his songs on YouTube. I first heard of him during this scene in Daft Punk's Electroma... literally brought me to tears: http://youtu.be/_DxBx4FyTqY

A little background on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_C._Frank

If you're interested in purchase: http://www.amazon.com/Blues-Run-Game-Jackson-Frank/dp/tracks/B0000A5BUK/ref=dp_tracks_all_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369409089&sr=8-1#disc_1

u/eileensariot · 1 pointr/Wishlist

I'm not sure what I want to add to the list, but I really like the sound of it. Books & movies & music. Maybe like.. Fear. :) haha. Or Simon & Garfunkel.. I'm gonna need to go get myself that vinyl actually.

SPEAKING OF, thanks for the vinyl from you!! (in advance.)

u/slim1962 · 3 pointsr/bobdylan

Depends on your taste, but for me just about everything on the I’m Not There soundtrack is great:
https://www.amazon.com/Im-Not-There-Various-Artists/dp/B000VS6P9Q

Changing of the Guard by Frank Black and Catholics is also a personal favorite:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CIvw4ncOwGc

But nothing compared to Bob doing Bob. I don’t like when someone tries to cover Dylan and make it a PoP song.

u/ad1ae67f-16e2-4974-9 · 3 pointsr/firefly

Firefly: A Celebration is a book with all the scripts along with a collection of anecdotes, pictures, interviews, and a couple short stories.

There's the 1:400 scale model of Serenity at QMx, ThinkGeek, and Amazon, but it's pretty expensive.

There's also the key chain model of Serenity, also available at QMx, ThinkGeek, and Amazon.

If neither of you already have it, you might want to consider getting the DVD or Blu-Ray versions if you like commentaries or the special features (though, much of the latter have been re-uploaded to YouTube). Same goes for the official soundtracks (Firefly & Serenity).

u/jupiterkansas · 2 pointsr/progrockmusic

do they have to be prog?

Conan the Barbarian soundtrack by Basil Poledouris - possibly the best soundtrack I've ever heard.

The Bones of All Men by Phillip Pickett and Richard Thompson - like a medieval rock band

and just for fun, The Art of the Bawdy Song by the Baltimore Consort

u/captain_slack · 1 pointr/bobdylan

Closest thing you'll find to Dylan is Woody Guthrie. And even that's not entirely accurate. I'd recommend this album. Bob is in a class by himself.

However, if you're feeling that "great songwriter who can't sing a lick" vibe, I'd second the recommendations of Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, and Townes Van Zant. (I think all those albums are on Spotify, BTW.)

u/Metcarfre · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

What I've been musing is collecting some of the albums I loved in my youth like this and this plus all time classics like this and this. So, not exactly cheap.

u/ThereisnoTruth · 3 pointsr/AskReddit

The John Williams soundtrack for the original Star Wars movie is the best. In 2005, the American Film Institute honored and recognized the original Star Wars soundtrack as the most memorable film score of all time. Small sample - The Imperial March.

The soundtrack for Pride and Prejudice (2005) is excellent.

The music from the Firefly TV series was also extraordinary Here is a small sample of the sort of music it is - You Can't Take The Sky From Me.

u/Morefunnorule · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

u/chaoticgoodbard · 2 pointsr/DnD

There's an album by The Brobdingnagian Bards called Memories of Middle Earth. The instrumental tracks are perfect for a whimsical but epic Tolkien tone. Skip the vocal tracks. http://www.amazon.com/Memories-Middle-Earth-Brobdingnagian-Bards/dp/B00009M775/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331588661&sr=8-1

Boru's Ghost, Hound of Cullan. Original composition Celtic fusion, haunting yet upbeat. http://www.amazon.com/Hound-of-Cullan/dp/B0041RZ4EK/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1331588688&sr=1-1

I also strongly recommend Omnia's Crone of War for a slightly darker adventuring and battle sound. I like to call them Angry Pagan Music as when they sing it is about the scary gods and things that go bump in the night. But the instrumentals are daring, enchanting, and atmospheric. Also their piper is fantastic. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=Omnia+crone+of+war

Hope this helps.

u/capgunfunk · 1 pointr/Music

Absolutely the I'm Not There soundtrack. A phenomenal array of artists doing Bob Dylan covers. Even if you don't like Dylan, you should be able to appreciate and enjoy this soundtrack. Seriously. Go listen to it.

u/DejaDoink · 2 pointsr/firefly

Yes, and it's amazing! (just like the show)
It's on iTunes for $10, but for 25 songs it's not too unreasonable.
It's also on Amazon for a little less.

u/Independent · 2 pointsr/LetsTalkMusic

This is what I'm listening to on this drizzly Sunday.

Swedish punk rock - (This ain't yo mamma's ABBA!)

Nordic folk/punk (a lot of which sounds like it could have come from Appalachia)

Astronomy Rock, including Astronomy Rock Radio, Starbirth music and The Orion Syndrome, neither of which is large enough to even have an apparent web presence.

Zydeco

Arabic female vocalists including one of my favs Natasha Atlas

Fado

u/Neebat · 1 pointr/AskReddit

For similarish sounding music but with less covers, try The Bones of All Men
