Okay, have amend that. All the tracks were recorded in Canada. Besides Metalworks, she recorded right here in London at EMAC, where she also recorded her second (and final since she rejoined Cranberries after that) album.
 
On in the car, via Hoopla, right now is Shapeshifters, the latest from the Good Lovelies. I've heard songs from this trio of female folk-pop singers here and there over the years, mostly on CBC, but this is first time I've actually given one of their albums a listen. Lovely harmonies, nice songs, highly recommended. Song below is the lead off track.

 
Listened to a few minutes of a program last night that mom's been into lately called The Four. It was yet another singing competition. My goodness it was terrible. And it was the finals. Must have been even worse before then. Arooga indeed.

(i prefer my horror to be radio or printed word; i find myself let down too many times when watching a horror movie when it doesn't live up to my imagination. temple of vampires still scares my tits off)
 
I heard this in Starbucks a few hours ago. It stopped me in my tracks. I had to look it up and play it again...what a gift. Singing begins at about 1:15 - what a beautiful human being.

Some people even believe soma Usic is like soul ... nothing's matter in it .. that substantially left ... behind?

Nashville Soul suits me even if dark and unseen ... burnished ochre? Char'd soul ... who did you burn today as a flaming Christian? Thus the inquisition creeps on ... and when will we ever learn ??????????

Tis beyond us ... para space?
 



Her name is Brandi Carlile and she's packs a wonderful voice, often compared to Janis Joplin and Melissa Etheridge though I also find hints of Joan Baez in her quieter moments, and a real talent for writing deep, beautiful songs. I first discovered her with the first song above and then rediscovered her recently, but she's actually been around since the early noughties and her new album (from which the other two songs come) is her fifth. I've had it and its predecessor going on my phone for the past week.

EDIT: Yes, that's really her daughter in the second video and the song is about motherhood and her feelings about becoming a mother.

This one gets to my soul...or maybe it's because I was an early 70s kid and probably heard Eric Clapton and JJ Cale from the womb...that's what this sound reminds me of. I "feel" his lyrics go deeper than theirs, though, simple as these ones are...

Yup...definitely JJ Cale influence in that song. Here's proof (and, yet, something about Kiwanuka's music is more meaningful right now that make JJ Cale's seem self indulgent). Incidentally, I wasn't in the womb, but about 7 or 8 when this came out...

 
Omg...Michael Kiwanuka lead me to Isaac Gracie...(he is going or did go on part of a tour with Kiwanuka)

The song I did put here was hauntingly beautiful but terribly depressing once I got the meaning. Anyway...look him up. He's got a Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley thing going on.

I'll listen to some more another time and maybe post another one. 'Twas definitely a downer song, the one I removed.

...there's blues/ lament, which is different from music that is a depressive contagion. That's why I removed the song. Sort of goes with the pop culture thread...tired of pop culture that's depressive social contagion...and there's a lot of talent (Isaac Gracie has talent) wasted on it these days.
 
Can you imagine being on a night train to New Orleans to see a house rising out of the dark? The song has occult parts combining depressive laments and joies over the swing of the pendulum ... the come-back goes on ... an indeterminate notion?

Like God/everything being everywhere contrary to mortal powers ... love will get you in the end ... like that Celtic comment about being dead 10 minutes before the devil knows?

Thus latent seas ... they crash upon the stern ... mind your rudder ...
