This catchy folk song (the Russian title translates as Green Carriage) recently appeared in a Korean teledrama. The lyrics tell the story of a carriage that brings spring to the land as children and little animals sleep. A subtitled version with animation can be found here.

Natural Echo Studios has some excellent music with a number of songs that can be downloaded for free. I especially recommend the melodic Silver Song, Home Sweet Home, Airmail and Take Me With You. In all of these songs, the influence of Kansas is palpable.

Eva Cassidy has done some nice covers that are available over at MuchMusic. I'm particularly fond of Time After Time, Kathy's Song, and the slowed-down version of Woodstock (a Crosby, Stills & Nash cover).

These days, I've been listening a lot to Esperanto music. Esperanto is an artificial language created at the end of the nineteenth century, designed as a universal second language. The language boasts numerous books, magazines, a few movies (notably Incubus, starring William Shatner), and some excellent music.

All the coverage of Mexico in the news lately has made me want to listen to Zevon's Veracruz over and over and over again.So I am. To me that song has always been about the ordinary people caught in the middle of events larger than themselves. That's how I feel a lot lately.

Gene Pitney died today (4/5) in the U.K. while on tour. He was 65.In addition to his talents as a singer, he was also a songwriter, having penned "Hello, Mary Lou," "Rubber Ball," and "He's a Rebel," among others.Of interesting note in Pitney's career was the album of duets he did with George Jones (yes, that George Jones). While the notion might sound odd, the performances were NOT. Farewell,

Ever want to try your hand at composing?I found this website that allows you to create a composition in a serialistic manner by assigning a note value to a series of intergers, then "playing" the piece by sounding each note in the order that its corresponding interger appears in the number pi. It will play out to the 10,000th decimal.

Seventy-six years ago today, Stephen Sondheim was born. Arguably the greatest musical theater writer currently alive, Sondheim first made a name for himself writing the lyrics for West Side Story followed shortly there after by becoming the lyricist for Gypsy. But Sondheim really got the chance to shine when he took to composing the music as well as the lyrics. The number of hit musicals he's had

As much as I hate to admit it, I've been completely taken in by a song from a television show. You can listen to it here, courtesy of Captain Oats at Silly Pipedreams.The song played over the tensest moments of this week's Grey's Anatomy, and underscored the action perfectly. But the hook that has drawn me permenantly in is this line:Life's like an hourglass glued to the table.Yeah. It is. If

I was just listening to music from the Live Music Archive, which has become my favorite spot for finding music, when I came across Michael Franti and Spearhead -- a band that plays a lot of music opposing Shrub's War. And I was thinking about the current situation in the pop music world and comparing it to the 60s. Things have certainly changed. Popular music used to include provocative songs

I'm a big fan of the subscription based Napster; when I saw this from Engadget, I got excited! Perhaps when downloading songs via Google Napster will yield CD covers, liner notes and lyrics embedded with the song?

I love Napster because I can rent all the music I care to listen to for $9.95 on three PCs.And it's a big reason why I don't own a iPod (yet).I sit at home working on the PC so I can fire up Napster, create playlists and listen away during the day.

Wilson Pickett died today. Pickett did a lot of recording down in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. In fact, just about anybody who played Rhythm and Blues in the sixties recorded in Muscle Shoals at one time or another.

Scientists may have found the skull of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart but they're not telling until this Sunday during a special on Mozart commerating his 250th birthday that will be later this month. The skull has been believed to be Mozart's for more than a century but DNA tests always came back inconclusive until now. For those familiar with the life of Mozart, this would be a pretty big discovery.

This one is self-explanatory.3. “Blow Wind Blow” by Tom Waits. As is this one.4. “Scotland, the Brave”. A good leaf blower begins to sound like bagpipes after a while.

We all love our music - from the time we were rocked in our cradle to lullabyes... I remember those early parenting nights rocking my son to sleep when the only song I could coherently sing at 3 am was the National Anthem. Nowadays, we rock out to our iPods, computers, MP3s, surround sound, some smoky music venue, whatever radio throws our way and even dare venture out to other types of music

Fritz Lang had a less than pleasing encounter with Neal Cassidy's son.Sounds like Cassidy Jr. was a bit of momzer, and left our poor Fritz tonguetied and less than impressed. I, of course, only think of Robert Hunter's lyrics in connection with Cassidy, and none of his actual poetry. Funny, when the man memorializing you in song is the much better poet.

No whackawhacka guitar because they weren't those kind of dreams. Just dreams where we'd talk, or I'd be the observer watching him live out his last days with friends and family.

These days, I've been listening to one of my favorites songs, the Loggins and Messina hit Danny's Song. I've always loved this very pretty song as it embodies so many of the values I hold dear--the idea that love and commitment are more important than money along with a healthy excitement about a child being born.

Nothing soothes my soul like the sound of Jerry Garcia's guitar. The man had the power to bring tears to my eyes.Stevie Ray Vaughn's version of the Jimi Hendrix classic "Little Wing" is one of those records that actually causes me

Michael at Chez Bez cast me back into the memory hole.All last week at Disney World I had the frabjous callay of being surrounded by Very Important Men Of Business shouting down the cell phone towers. Filing purchase orders, scheduling meetings, checking their football picks--and letting everyone in a two-yard radius know just how valuable they were to the turning of the planet. Ah yes. These

Okee dokee. Things have been a little slow around here, so it's time to wake EVERYONE up and write a song together.So here's the deal. You have to use real lyrics from top 40 songs.

Being a Deadhead, I love to hear live music, mostly bootlegs. But there have been a lot of other good live albums over the years. Here is a list I found that ranks the 100 greatest live albums of all time. One of my all-time favorite albums, "The Allman Brothers at the Fillmore East" is second on the list. Although I really like the Who, I have to admit that I am not at all familiar with "Live at

"I'm Searching for Hearrrrt Beeeeeet" Don screechingly announced to us all. Since he didn't really record much (at all?--too lazy to research it right now) after that album, I'm guessing he either found a really good one beneath a pair of 36DDs or relinquished his own.Same thing with this blog.

I have a philosophical question for all of you. I've always had eclectic tastes in music. And when I think about this, it makes perfect sense. Music seems to me to be universal. It's possible, after all, to enjoy music even though we're completely unfamiliar with the musical tradition behind it. I've enjoyed listening to an Indonesian Gamalan orchestra, for example, although I have absolutely no

I thought about this question on the way home from work last night when I heard my favorite singer on the radio. For me, there has never been a better singer/front man in rock and roll than Robert Plant. There have been a lot of good ones, but nobody could sing like Robert Plant, in my opinion.What do you all think? Do you agree with me on Robert Plant? Maybe you like Elvis, or Freddie Mercury,

When the increasing popularity of iPods combine with the music industries obsession with preventing file-sharing, the result is unhappy customers. The Sony BMG and EMI record labels are releasing their new CDs with DRM protection, preventing fans from, not only sharing their music over the internet, but from copying their music to their iPods to listen to on the go.

I picked up the 30th anniversary deluxe edition of Elton John's Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy today. As I noticed the sticker on the CD that said "30th anniversary" I commented to the clerk that it made me feel old, remembering that I bought the album (on vinyl -- got a confused look from him there) when it was released in 1975.Elton was my teenybopper idol.

In two weeks, Widespread Panic will be playing at Starwood. It has been a long time since I have seen Widespread. In fact, I have never seen them since Mike Hauser died.

When I was a freshman or sophomore in high school, we used to listen to this band, Mucky Pup (I think... I'm pretty sure that's the name) who were like a funny Bloodhound Gang.They had a lot of songs about gophers and Batman going around butt-raping people. But their best song, by far, was "Hippies Hate Water," which started out (if I recall) like this "One day I found myself driving myself

A few years ago I saw a coffee shop performance by a guy named Ari Hest. Like many coffee shop performances there was no band, just a lone singer and his guitar, but man could this guy sing. It was a good thing too because he didn't have much of a stage presence (which fortunately isn't a big deal when you listen to the CD). Still, I said I'd be mentioning musicians who have gotten less

Mr. Kat has a much more limited taste in music than mine. He hates disco, he loathes rap and can't stand much from the 80s. Even though his range is smaller, he is very devoted to that which he likes--devoted almost to the point of obsession. Like poor ol' Lennie in Of Mice & Men, he loves them too hard.

The musical RENT, which opened on Broadway in 1996, is finally coming to the big screen this November. I always have a bit of apprehension when an outstanding stage musical is done as a movie. What works on stage doesn't always work on the screen and, particularly in musical such as RENT where the minimalistic set adds so greatly to the work, the realism of Hollywood can be damaging if not

The term ballad, according to Wikipedia, refers to a song that tells a story. I know the term conjures up some woo-pitching ditties from the likes of Billy Ocean and an unashamedly mulleted Michael Bolton who spent the better part of the eighties trying to win over the fairer sex with constipated facial expressions and the simplest of drum machines, but those are not necessarily ballads.Murder

I heard the long version of the Ray Charles epic 'What'd I Say' before I understood about sex. I WAS in bed at the time, but my bed partner was my green transistor radio ensconsed in a black leather case with perforations that allowed you to 'feel' the bass notes. I was nine years old.

The problem with Looking Glass may have been that they looked more like roadies for Thin Lizzy than an actual band. Then again, maybe the rest of their music was unlistenable, and "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" was an anomaly. Who knows? I doubt that anyone outside of the band could name another song by this Rutgers quartet who hit one hit wonderdom back in 1972.We can all laugh at one hit

The legacy of Woody Guthrie has been a cherished vestige in folk circles since Bob Dylan popularized the notion of a rambling troubadour for a '60s-counterculture, melding the barefooted roots of folk music with popular culture.I recently read Dylan's Chronicles: Volume 1 and gained a deeper appreciation for Guthrie and his rapturous influence on Dylan's words and understanding of the American

(The title is a line from "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" by Billy Joel)On the way to golf tonight I was thinking about songs set in New Orleans or that mention New Orleans. Three of the songs on my "100 favorite pop" list are such songs.What are your favorite songs that mention New Orleans?Mine:"Heart of the Night" - Poco"Down in the Quarter" - Poco"New Orleans Ladies" - LeRoux"Mississippi"

You're stuck on a deserted island for the rest of your life with a boombox and a lifetime supply of batteries. Which five albums do you take? No box sets or collections, but double discs are okay. My picks (and I'll probably change them next week): 1. Dylan "Blood on the Tracks"2. Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers"3. Tom Petty "Wildflowers"4. Dr. John "Mos' Scocious: The Dr. John Anthology" (Double

He was the first person elected to both the country and rock halls of fame. (There are others in both, but most of the country artists in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were inducted as "early influences" NOT as rock and roll performers.) He was not the first "man in black" (Lefty Frizzell actually had that nickname at one time), but he's the first person you think of when that term is used.

I don't know if this is an appropriate post after a discussion of Metallica, but have any of you ever listened to the Roches? The three women blend influences from church choir music, traditional Irish folk, country, and pop. Many of their songs are a cappella or with minimal accompaniment. (The only album I've heard where they did use full accompaniment was awful.) My personal favorites are

Flipping through my CDs today to find something I hadn't listened to in awhile, I came across Metallica's album "S&M." For those who don't know "S&M" is a live album featuring Metallica plus the 104 musicians of the San Francisco Symphony (in fact S&M stands for "Symphony and Metallica," what were you thinking it meant??). While I love the album I've always thought that whoever orchestrated the

I believe, unequivocally, that Linda Ronstadts version of Randy Newman's 'Sail Away' is the worst cover version of all times. Not because she can't sing - damn, she CAN sing, but because she just didn't get the song. Newman's voice, dripping with irony like spanish moss hanging from those New Orleans cypruss trees, informs the listener that the sing-along-lilt of the chorus is a cruel device

We have all shared a lot about cool music on this website. But I am just curious to know what we all listened to when we were just young'uns. I know that there may be some people who are not much older than a senior in high school and that is okay. I know that some of us may have to think back a long time, but that is also okay. Let's be honest now, and if you had a mullet back then, you might

I thought I'd spend my inaugural post on Missy Elliott since few people here seem to be big rap fans. No, it's not just so that no one can disagree with me, but also because I love Missy and think everyone should at least appreciate her.Most everyone is, I guess, at least familiar with her music videos, which are always some of the strangest things you've ever seen on MTV--jerky movements, wild

With all the talk of the Dead that's been going on the board, I figured I'd put this link out for anyone who's interested. Downloads takes some time (depending on your bandwidth and what quality you want), but the shows I've downloaded so far have been of great quality.

A good friend of mine is fanatically into the Greatful Dead with walls full of tapes from every concert. After years of refusing to listen to his poor-quality recordings of the band endlessly singing a similar repertoire of songs, I finally broke down and took some on long drives. To my surprise, I found that the music was much easier to listen to repeatedly than the polished commercial stuff put

John's Stones post below brought up (perhaps unintentionally?) an interesting point. The Rolling Stones are a rock legend. Also claiming the title would be Aerosmith, Ozzie, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Springsteen, and of course, perhaps the ultimate legends of rock (albeit a lighter genre of rock) the Beetles. I'm sure you can think of many more. What all these groups have in common though

I love Hank Williams. Hank Williams was the original outlaw of American music, in my opinion. He was the first bad boy of popular music and he was even fired from the Grand Ole Opry for his wild behavior. He was the first of a long line of artistic geniuses to die a tragic death at a really young age. Hank's death is as legendary as his life. Having overdosed on whiskey and morphine, Hank was

I don’t know if I’m still the oldest poster in the TUIB house, but I suspect I still have the ‘grise’, not necessarily the eminence. I’m almost 53 and I’ve literally grown up with Keith, Mick, Charlie and all the other assorted Rolling Stones.In 1964, I was a skinny kid in 7th grade wrestling with a series of badly mangled haircuts courtesy of my mom’s sadistic home barbering kit.

In London there is a dive record store off of Covent Garden. It's in what used to be one of the storage cellars of the market, and I wasted much time there, browsing for showtunes. They played an album in heavy rotation that got under my skin like junky's worms--so much so that I ended up skipping two days' worth of meals to buy the cassette tape--Short Sharp Shocked.

Two years ago today, September 7 2003, Warren Zevon died after a year-long battle with lung cancer (mesothelioma, to be exact). First known for his 1978 novelty song "Werewolves of London" and for being the author of the Linda Ronstadt hit of that same year, "Poor Poor Pitiful Me," Zevon found his name in the headlines again as he fought the illness that had spread to his liver by the time it was

Great lyrics that flow poetically while fitting naturally into the song aren’t easy, and such songwriters very often go unnoticed. Take Joe Henry, for example. If you know of him at all, it might be because he is married to the sister of Madonna, but in a perfect world he would be right up there with John Prine, Randy Newman, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, and Bob Dylan in terms of great songwriting.

Music is one of those things that it's very easy to get all gummed up about. When people hit on each other in bars, they like Shostakovich. When they dance around the house in their underwear they like Madonna. I'm dancing around the house in my underwear, but taking a break to type this. (Still in my underwear. Screw the Pajamas.)Billy Joel's Glass Houses rocks. Completely. Utterly.

What is your all time favorite love song?For me, it's an easy answer. "In My Life" by The Beatles (Rubber Soul album) is the all time best love song ever written. It's understated simplicity makes it that much stronger. The song basically is saying I've had a lot of lovers, and I've loved them all but in my life, I love you more. No one compares with you. Anyhow, it's simple yet profound. My

Two months ago, I was indoctrinated into iPod land. I don’t mind admitting that I’ve been salivating over the music players for nearly two years now. But the high cost prevented me from buying one, and I resisted purchasing a different type of MP3 player because I felt it would be too difficult to navigate through a large quantity of songs. For about a year, I made do with a borrowed 128MB player
