My friend "Dr. Mike" mentioned Beck today, so I put on Mellow Gold, which I haven't played in quite some time. Had to share this song, it's one of my favorites from the album.
Ummm...if you hadn't guessed, NSFW language
I had the fortune of seeing these guys perform live, their skill is truly amazing.
This song brings back a lot of memories... The sound quality of these PiL vids in Bochum is impressive.
This one is a slow-builder, but worth the journey. Natacha's voice is just beautiful, and such a contrast to the percussion.
A couple weeks ago I was listening to the new AIR cd while working, and began to remember the one time I saw them live at the Nokia Theater in Grand Prairie. They were a five-piece band on that tour, and their energy really blew me away.
The Almighty Google revealed the following live AIR performance to me, leading me to discover KCRW, and more importantly, the Morning Becomes Eclectic show.
Since that discovery, both Morcheeba and Massive Attack have played, and according to the MBE schedule, Gorillaz will perform on 18 Aug 2010.
And lastly, an older AIR performance.
Lisa Hannigan (and many others) performing Nick Drake's "Black Eyed Dog" from the concert "The Songs of Nick Drake: Way to Blue."
