Dailymotion – Chanson de Craonne – une vidéo Actu et Politique
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x30dzv_chanson-de-craonne_events Reasons I love the Internet #13895793: Reading about a French anti-war song on IMDB, and five seconds later being able to find a rendition complete with period photography. We really are spoiled for information – isn’t it wonderful?
Amazing choir (Perpetuum Jazzile) uses their hands to simulate storm
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05ip-N0H1Ig Ignore the appalling grammar and spelling in the title, and ignore the fact that the choir manages to “whiten up” the already WASP-y “Africa”, by Toto: The intro alone makes it a worthwhile watch. (Thanks to Frannyy, who always finds the good stuff.)
Yahoo! Video
http://espanol.video.yahoo.com/watch/4762765/12716729 I usually avoid American Idol like the plague (I caught about five minutes during the first season, and that was enough to know that it wasn’t my kind of music), but as everyone’s talking about this year’s runner up, Adam Lambert, I thought I’d check him out.

Drake says the idea came to him when his four-year-old daughter came home singing the English rhyme which starts “Cowzy tweet and sowzy tweet and liddle sharksy doisters.” (Cows eat wheat and sows eat wheat and little sharks […]

The Declaimers : The New Yorker
http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2005/05/16/050516crmu_music Typically excellent review by the New Yorker about a typically excellent “band”, the Mountain Goats (which is really just one guy, John Darnielle). The Sunset Tree is one of the few albums I’ve heard in the last 10 years that is a full album – absolutely worth getting every track. Darnielle’s songs are usually […]
