Ok, it's a terrible pun and almost certainly lost on any non-British blog readers of at least a certain age. I apologise because the music deserves your attention. The ever-excellent Leon Somov and Jazzu have released a new song on Soundcloud and I like it. It's quite radio-friendly, a little simpler in its construction and content than the music I've heard them make previously but I'm a great believer in the process of minimialising music to allow the musicians to make more complex statements. I know this sounds a contradiction in terms but it can be difficult sometimes to appreciate the individual nuances of a song in something like a Spector 'Wall of Sound' production. Am I making sense? Probably not and once again time for me to stop rambling.

sunday evening

Other videos I've been watching this evening: The Best of the Johnny Cash Show, Arnold Schoenberg - Pierrot Lunaire.
I like to have long relaxing bath on a Sunday evening and plonk the laptop on the sink and listen to Youtube videos. These two are just perfect for such an occasion. The first is a track called the Score by Leon Somov and Jazzu, two London-based Lithuanians. It's a trippy little track that will probably end up on a Hotel Costes compilation.
The second is Bettye Lavette, a contemporary of the great female soul singers of the 60s and 70s. This is a classic in every sense of the word. One of my favourite soul songs of all time.
