THE END OF THE WORLD
Click on the image for full screen
I don't know whether tomorrow will be its final day. Make the best of it today just in case. And I hope all of the borders, wars, famine and stupid things we seem to enjoy so proudly and that can't be seen from a distance in this blue picture will fade for good. Let's pray to our respective Gods, brothers and sisters.

Dave Brubeck
The jazz Master would have turned 92 tomorrow. He published the solo piano CD 'A Dave Brubeck Christmas' last month. The 32' video, filmed in Belgium in 1964 will give you quite a good idea of what a great musician he was. I dare suggest you listen to it as you work on something else: the music will slowly get into your body.

On World AIDS Day
On World AIDS day here is a dramatically beautiful Lou Reed's song many people may not remember or even know. It's called 'The Sword of Damocles', from Lou's album 'Magic And Loss' (1992).

Charlie Boyer and the Voyeurs - Bo Keeney
Charlie Boyer and the Voyeurs: http://youtu.be/K-K-wxjJebQ
Here's another highly touted new guitar band worthy of at least some of the hype they've been getting. (...) I Watch You is one of those debut singles that promises much but also delivers enough to make you worry that they will never quite match it. The riff, highly redolent of Jonathan Richman's Roadrunner, is one of those crudely simple two-chord affairs (with a third for the chorus) that reduces rock'n'roll to its basics but does so with intelligence, not dumbness. It's boogie with brains, basically. (...)

Bo Keeney: http://youtu.be/1SUM270EeJE
He is a 23-year-old who makes music that sounds like a jazzy nightclub entertainer warbling soulfully over dubstep or drum'n'bass. Think Michael Bublé guesting with Magnetic Man, or Jamie Cullum jamming with Joy Orbison. (...)
