Their concert was my first official date with my spouse. The Aqua Bats opened. They played at La Luna in Portland, which to this day is still the best venue I've ever experienced. I fully agree, they are freaking fantastic live!

I have been waiting 20 years to see them. Missed out twice. Saw them at the Worcester palladium- acoustics were out of this world AND I was like a sones throw from the stage

I missed all of February, but I'm just going to jump in here! So many great memories being out on the dance floor at Ruby's!

Day 22: A song from the '00s

When I think Avant Garde, I think of one instrument in particular; the electric violin. Taking a symbol of the classical and smashing it against the wall is cathartic, poetic, creative.

Emilie Autumn is a virtuoso violinist who plays something called industrial neo-victorian music. It is steampunk and lace. It is heavy, screeching machinery. It is raw and stripped and horrific and captivating.

Manic Depression is a track from her 2007 instrumental double album Laced/Unlaced, where she combines the unique, futuristic sound of the electric violin with a traditional Harpischord, a proto-piano popular through the baroque era, where the strings are plucked as opposed to hit with a hammer like with modern pianos.
Separated by more than 500 years, the anachronistic contrast between these two instruments is maddeningly beautiful.

She captures the essence of her illness in two very distinct voices, played simultaneously, in a never ending battle with each other. Music can be both beautiful and violent, so, while Harrison made his guitar weep, Autumn wrings death rattles from her violin.

Emilie Autumn - Manic Depression

I had the fortune of seeing her live once, some 20 years ago. It was a four-hour long macabre jumble of burlesque performance, stage-play, insane music and emotion so raw it still feels fresh when I think back on it. An absolute delight.

Breathless -The Corrs
My absolute favourite Corr's song. Every time I hear it, I think about a lover of mine from many many years ago..

Amazing song choice! Powerful. Moving...
And made even better by your detailed and poetic write-up. Thank you!
Your written explanations feel like a form of music unto themselves. Beautiful.

Oh dear lord, remember those 4 weeks when everyone tried to emulate Nelly's band-aid? It's in my top-3 weirdest trends ever. There was this period back in the 90s in sweden when everyone had a pacifier in their mouth, that one takes the cake...

[Wonderer67]

I feel bad, it’s been a really busy week and I have not had a chance to look at everyone’s music this week yet. I enjoy seeing what you all post, your musical fabrics and styles.

A song from the naughty oughts. 00s

A friend of mine in the army, turned me onto two amazing bands, during our first deployment, Spoon and TV on the Radio.

Since we are featuring black artists , and love songs (not sure this qualifies as a love song, maybe a lust song )

One of the first bands I saw after getting discharged. And worth it.

TV on the Radio - Wolf Like Me

This takes me back. I saw them at Summerfest in Milwaukee in the mid 00’s, and they were great.
