Jonny Greenwood's Office Mix(es)!

From DEAD AIR SPACE:

Tried to do a Spotify arab collection.....but no Laila Mourad, or Um Khalthum, or much Abdel Halim Hefez on spotify yet......so it's bolstered with some random classical stuff - but then, it's all orchestras sitting down, right?

Talking of which - found out this week about the old Baghdad music school for blind children - hence the shaded musicians in arab orchestras, the prevalence of which I could never understand. I (offensively?) assumed it was just 60's iraqi hipsters being 60's iraqi hipsters...though they were that too, of course....

-J.G.

Spotify, for those who don't know, is a European contraption that lets people listen to music for free and whatnot (not available to many of us poor souls!) I put the files into two parts, one Arabic and one Western. The Bach is just a small clip from a larger piece that I would encourage everyone to pick up (here's an amazon.com link.)

P.S. Personally, y'know, I'm looking forward to familiarizing myself with these tunes becuz usually the only time I hear anything like this is when a friend forces some crazeh Bollywood or Iranian flick on me, or I'm at an Indian buffet. JK!

Link and Tracklist: Elias' Agentinian Mix!

Here in the good man's own words...

This is a brief, but broad glimpse of 40 years of what is here known as "Argentinian Rock". I can't stand many of these bands, yet they had to be there for pedagogical reasons. Even though I've tried to avoid "classics", so this approach would be a bit less conventional, I've failed a bit to that matter.
Given that it might be a bit tedious to hold a listening party (because of the language and such), I think it's better to not make one.
Enjoy!

Dave Montos' Great White North Mix!

From Dave Montos: "I decided to pick one song from each province. This went perfectly except for 1 problem, I couldn't find anything in my musical collection from Saskatchewan. I tried to find some but there was little choice, there was a 90's blue's rock band that was popular back then but I didn't feel like including them. There is a Native (aborigine) hip-hop scene there at the moment, I tried listening to some of it but it was rather cheesy.

So I was forced to leave Saskatchewan out of the mix."

Poor Saskawhateverwan! haha... I'm kidding, I love Canada! Thanks Dave!
