This Song Has Me Captivated
I put together a mixtape the other day with this song on it and thought I ought to share it. It's not exactly what you'd expect from me, but it's captivating with its beats and late-night lounge sound. And I love the vocals, even though I really can't understand much of what she's saying. Oh, her name's Bajka. The "main force" behind the band is Nico Schabel. Together with a few other talented musicians, they make up Radio Citizen.Radio Citizen--
Radio Citizen on myspace. They have a medley up of several of their tunes, which gives you a nice taste of their sound. Check it out, they're playing twice next month in Berlin.
I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go round, and here's an example of someone who cares deeply about something that I guarantee we all take for granted: Ian's Shoelace Site. Every freakin' thing you ever wanted to know about the lowly shoelace, you can find out here.
The Arrogants--
Oh both of these selections are just fantastic especially that Radio
Citizen track. If only I could teleport, bastards!
isn't that a great song? the guy at my record store said i could get the
album for 13.99 even tho it's still an import. i think it's going on my
christmas list. i must have it! and maybe we should just take a trip over
yonder, visit a few folks, see some shows, and in general live it up. if
only!
I agree with Rachel.. all the good music is in the UK.
Hmm. I have been thinking for some time about moving to Europe, since
right around Novmber, 2000. Just when it seems to be improving here, you
post this excellent Radio Citizen track. Damnit! So, are you actually
going to Berlin for the show, or are you just tormenting us?
oh what i wouldn't give to take a little trip to berlin for a show. just
dreaming this time, i'm afraid. i'm curious what they'd sound like live,
though. maybe someone else will get to see them and report back to all of
us statesiders . . . : )
Hello!
why, you read my not-so-subtle hints! by all means, go and check them out.
you're right, i did use a picture, but it's not the first. i've been
throwing them up sporadically for the past month or so--just wait until
tomorrow. not sure how the uk got into the conversation, but you know us
yanks, europe is all one place, is it not? ;-) thanks for the invite, i'll
be sure to drop you a note before i show up!
Careful - associating or dissociating the UK with Europe has political
connotations...
fil--hope you were able to keep warm last night. i think i'd rather lose
power in the summer than in winter anyday. interesting about the uk/europe
thing. i was being quite flip when i said that about europe being one
place, but unfortunately i think many americans don't grasp much in the way
of political distinctions.
Just relaxing for the Thanksgiving weekend, making more bread, recording my
CP submission too late. I did post Sunday (including shouting you
out--deservedly--again) and my failed CP effort.
