Doxa Sinistra – The Other Stranger
A recent article about ‘Phenakistoscope’ reminded me of this, my favorite video/song combination by Doxa Sinistra.
An example of a ‘Phenakistoscope’ from the Richard Balzer Collection.

Dream Koala – Ocean (2013)
“Yndi Ferreira, the nineteen-year-old electronic artist behind Dream Koala, sings in a delicate falsetto that slowly builds in urgency as he adds layers of electronic samples to more traditional instrumental elements—the effect is akin to having strange words whispered into your ear as you experience an epic 3-D soundscape. Born to Brazilian parents and raised in Paris, Ferrerira is in the U.S. for the first time this week playing shows for CMJ. Here, we debut the video for his new single “Odyssey” and ask him a few questions about the song and his burgeoning career.” >>>more here.
Syl Johnson – I Hate I Walked Away
There’s so much great new music to listen to and even more exceptional are all the recorded song of the 20th century that have been overlooked and forgotten. I’m often astounded by the popularity of classic rock. The same 30 or so songs played over and over again for the past 40 years. Don’t folks crave something different? How can the music move you when you’ve heard it endless times, year after year after year, all day and everywhere? I don’t understand.
This is one of those songs that should be popular. I only just heard it tonight but it’s been around longer than I’ve been alive.
Jane Weaver- Don’t Take My Soul
Happy 2015!
Starting this year, I will return to posting a “Favorite Video of the Week.” I mostly keep this blog going so I can easily search songs I like. I have a terrible memory and it’s only through my blog I can find songs I liked from say, three years ago. My brain has become a jar of overflowing jellybeans.
