The Fifth Playlist.

 And also one of the first that's been posted on a Saturday for awhile. Sorry about that.

This playlist is going to be some music from a Jazz station I was listening too, as well as songs from bands Animal Collective was influenced by, because I was listening to Jazz music in the situation I was placed in, but I wanted to study these other bands Animal Collective was influenced by.

1. You Don't Know Like I Know - Sam & Dave (1966)

2. Marvin Gaye - Stubborn Kind of Fellow (1962) (The version I heard must have been from earlier, and it was a young Marvin Gaye backed by The Temptations, or at least that's my understating from the radio station as I was following people places and worrying about my at-the- moment non working iPod. If your really interested in the version that I heard which was absolutely amazing, the website for the radio station is http://www.wbgo.org/)

3. Contract on Love - Stevie Wonder (1962)

4. Clua Koonde - S. E. Rogie (the playful simplicity and delivery, but truly rich and complex beat most obviously influenced Animal Collective.)

5. Ena Eye A Mane Me - African Brothers Dance Band (International) 

The beginning of this song seems way too modern, and could be almost an exact sample from many recent works, along with Animal Collective.

The Thirty-Fifth Day.

I wasn't going to post a video for a few posts, but I just found where all the cool you tube videos went, and though I'd share one that's amazingly related to music.

It's called "Music With Sand"

and it's really cool. Enjoy.

The Thirty-Second Day.

I'm sorry to say there will be no playlist from last week. It was a sick weekend break, of which I enjoyed far too many movies and far too much television, but I'm glad to be back, and more alive.

While becoming couch fungus, I watched all of the current episodes of US of Tara. From which I have heard and seen some excellent use of music. Particularly the suiting (on purpose) intro to the episodes is The Polyphonic Spree - United States of Tara. 

Other good music they have used come from Liam Finn (who seems to be every were in the past few weeks) and several others I should have written down. Anyways, I'm giving The United States of Tara a gold medal for music supervision. Yay Diablo Cody, you've officially won more awards than people though you deserved. 

Happy- St. Vincent has named and set a release date for her album, along with an MP3.

Actor is out May 5 and the song is The Strangers. Dance beat to a sarcastic musical is what it's reminding me of
