I can’t help but think of the purity that went into making this poster.
It’s a pretty intensive program.

Really into this music this week. It’s actually quite a rarity to stumble on some stuff that really hits me (I’m a bit of a snob), but this has certainly been doing it! Check it out.

Good Townes Van Zandt Covers Mixtape
Found this after seeing that Devendra Banhart did a cover of Colorado Girl. I listened to it one time through and all the songs are enjoyable to listen to. Some didn’t seem to do much for me, while others really stood out right away - particularly Son Volt’s “Rex’s Blues,” Foreign Born’s “Waiting Around To Die,” and Steve Earle’s “Ft. Worth Blues.” Also, they didn’t include a Norah Jones cover because it didn’t “cut it” which makes me trust them more.
When you awake, the blog I found it on, seems really great, too.
Here’s the songs:
1. Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle- If I Needed You
2. Gillian Welch- Pancho and Lefty
3. Devendra Banhart- Colorado Girl
4. Son Volt- Rex’s Blues
5. Azure Ray- For The Sake of the Song
6. Foreign Born- Waiting Around To Die
7. Peter Roman and Nanci Griffith- No Lonesome Tune
8. Nanci Griffith- Tecumseh Valley
9. Steve Earle- Fort Worth Blues
10. Vetiver- Standin’
11. Guy Clark- Don’t You Take It Too Bad
12. Steve Young- No Place To Fall

Video for my favorite Ukiyo-ki song “Quixote Thinks of Fuji.” The song is a reflection on Hiroshige’s Fukeiga print - which made me think of Don Quixote thinking of Mount Fuji and what it would be like to see it through his eyes. The video is from a five part travelogue called “Seeing the World.” It is chopped up and pieced together to more fit the song. Enjoy…

Repost of the first Ukiyo-ki installment - Another View of Suzukayama… Ukiyo-ki is a moniker for lo-fi instrumental reflections on various ukiyo-e, or wood block prints. The focus has been Hiroshige for now and will perhaps expand to other artists in the future…. the free download link :: http://soundcloud.com/ukiyo-ki/another-view-of-suzukayama
