"Creeping Hands" By Felipe Vasquez


To Whom It May Concern:

So it turns out that last year’s Halloween Mixtape received lots of positive feedback and as a result, I have decided to create one for this year as well. My objective, again, was to put together a compilation that incorporates a certain eeriness in music and one that pulls from a variety of genres and eras.

I Think I'm A Mother - PJ Harvey
Everyday - Yo La Tengo

I've wanted to write about Anna Calvi since the beginning of January but had to wait; the only place her debut album was streaming was on the Guardian website and there were no videos yet.

Since then, Anna Calvi has appeared on Later...with Jools Holland, the album is widely available online and there's a shiny new video for this week's recommendation, Blackout.

Like the rest of the album, Blackout is all high drama, melodrama, passion and overblown sound. Here is a female vocalist writing romantic songs that comfortably compete with stadium rock artists such as Muse. Favourably compared with Nick Cave and PJ Harvey, the music is built on solid foundations; it is exquisite and detailed…

Mondo Amore is an album that works as a whole. Picking out tracks to highlight is difficult, like pulling out a feeling. For the purposes of this series, I've chosen the third track, Hotel Plaster, but it hasn't been an easy task.

There's romance, high drama and torch songs, drawing together old blues, classic rock, pop and country whilst experimenting with where they can be pushed to.

Hotel Plaster is a song about missing someone. It seems to be over but she's not letting go just yet.

I know we've hurt each other pretty bad,
But this midnight horoscope
It tells me there's a little more hope

It begins in dreamy echoes and long notes, her incredible voice dominating. …

1. Amethystium - 3161
Спокойная музыка, которую можно слушать и с утра, и перед сном. Женские вокалы и сказочные переливы. Ilona, Fairyland, Treasure - это чудо.

2. Angelo Badalamenti - 3017
Анджело Бадаламенти - это человек без творчества которого Твин Пикс бы не был Твин Пиксом. Twin Peaks (Main Theme), The Nightingale и Laura Palmer's Theme.

3. 2Pac - 2508
У Тупака обожаю - Homeboyz, U Can Be Touched, Sleep, Hell 4 A Hustler, Soon as I Get Home и Hell 4 A Hustler.

4. Jeremy Soule - 1553
Больше всего из альбома The Elders Scrolls III: Morrowind нравится Nerevar Rising, Caprice и The Road Most Travelled.

5. Eminem- 1233
У Eminem были хорошие альбомы. Включительно по Eminem Show. Дальше то ли развитие не пошло, то ли развитие не в том направлении. В любом случае, всегда не против послушать When The Music Stops, Sing For The Moment, Fight Music, 8 Mile и Say Goodbye Hollywood.

6. Смысловые галлюцинации - 1180
Смысловые галлюцинации частенько радуют музыкой и словами со смыслом. …

(o najlepszych albumach będzie w osobnym wpisie. Tu będą najlepsze koncerty i podsumowanie czartów.)

w tym roku zamiast słowa "ładnie" króluje równie optymistyczne słowo "plus"

Najwięcej skrobli wśród artystów:

10. Angelo Badalamenti 404

Spadek w stosunku do roku poprzedniego, ale na zachodzie bez zmian. Plus w tym roku popsuł mi się dysk w komputerze a głupio sobie iTunesa wgrywam na c (teraz też popełniłam ten błąd :/) i ponieważ jestem maniakiem jego pięknych playlist, musiałam sobie od nowa poukładać bibliotekę, łącznie z przyznawaniem gwiazdek, więc przesłuchałam (po łebkach, bo całościowo to by mi zajęło około 43 dni słuchania non-stop) wszystko co mam, dlatego to, czego mam dużo, ma teraz jeszcze więcej skrobli. Badalamentiego mam dużo.

9. Pixiesi Einsturzende Neubauten po 439

Swoją drogą ciekawy byłby taki duet :D
Nudna ta lista będzie, sami moi starzy ulubieńcy. Plus Einsturzende mam megadużą dyskografię.
