This video adds a lot of folkloric material after the actual song, but it is the official video, so it's their choice. I assume audio only is up on youtube as well. I like how they include the girl dancer doing a gesture to honor the drummers. (I remember that from an African dance class I took in college many years back!) Nice detail to capture. Given Mars Volta's enthusiasm for Afro-Latin music, collaboration with Larry Harlow, etc., I probably "should" like them more, but I have never clicked with them in a big way. This is okay though, so I'll see what it sounds like after repeated listens:
Also a new Panic! At the Disco song. This sounds like a pastiche of 70's styles. There is a Clash/Ramones (or at least generic punk) influence, and then there is a pretty obvious Queen influence. What else am I missing? Maybe a dash of Elvis Costello? Anyway, it sounds okay to me, but I am not sure how much I like either of these songs. I honestly had no idea Panic! At the Disco were so big. #118 in the world for the number of times they are streamed on Spotify? That's huge. They have never made much of an impression on me before.
I am going to post that Mars Volta song by itself after all, minus official video elaborations, since that official video is interrupted multiple times by commercials (ugh).
Previously unreleased live recording. As classy and high-quality as expected. (Shame on me for not being more familiar with Ella! She's not exactly my cup of tea, but she's such a master, and sang such good material, I should stretch just a little more.)
The older I get, the more love I feel for my parents' generation. They really deserve the "Great Generation" label.
A lot of good Arab indie these days. Lynn Adib (singing here) is really something.
