6 December 2009 (Sunday)
Starting the day with Ceu "Vagarosa". So chilled out as to be bland; once is enough to listen to that album.
Moving on to the new Tinariwen "Imidiwan: Companions". One of my favorite bands (playing in Seattle on 23 February 2010!!) and this is their brand new album. This is my first time hearing it -- am psyched!
-- verdict: Great! This album seems to put special emphasis on the vocals. Another fine addition to the Tinariwen canon.
Lizz Wright "Dreaming Wide Awake". Just recently discovered Lizz Wright. I totally dig her first albu, "Salt". But this one feels a bit flat. Need to go back and listen to her most recent record, "The Orchard".
Revisiting David Bowie "Live" (at the Tower Philadelphia 1974). Such a great setlist, but he croons the life out of the songs. Moonage Daydream and Suffragette City have zero urgency. Good to listen through once, but this was a low point for Bowie between other high points in his career, as far as I am concerned.
Anjulie "Anjulie". I must have read a good review of this album that convinced me to check it out. Not at all my thing.
