Ghost girl vs Sexy boy

An encounter of two elegant songs from two French bands:

Dark cabaret vs Freak folk

Billy Joel, aka Piano man

My favourite piece from Billy Joel, with a live version of the time:

Mondays can be a killer

But we are blessed with music:

Furthermore:

Matt Pond PA & Binocular

Moto Boy

80s sound from a rather fresh artist:

La Roux - Cruel Sexuality

Down by the river

First, there is this song:

Then, an alternate version:

Hana-bi; Takeshi Kitano

Just today, I was walking in the hall of the HS train station in The Hague, when I heard a melody from the station's speakers. It was the score of the movie Hana-bi, from Takeshi Kitano:

Well, what are the chances that you hear the touching melody of a striking Japanese movie, that you watched only a week ago, in a train station?? :)

Here it is, by the way:

The Bird and the Bee

Jazz, electronic and pop altogether:

Time travel has been, in fact, invented!

Sometimes, all I need is a couple of hours of jazz music, with the bright sun outside and work files in front, to go back to New York in 50s in an office room of a newspaper headquarters probably:), and to enjoy my work back then;).


Thanks, Green Grass Music

Jazz Semai

In 1978, Erol Pekcan, Tuna Ötenel and Kudret Öztoprak ‎came up with a very dynamic, subtle, and sometimes melancholic set of songs, compiled in an album calld "Jazz Semai".

 

Semai is a type of folkloric singing associated to Anatolia. It therefore gives a hint of the local Turkish influences in the western standards of the album.

 
Here is my favourite song from the album:

Eiko Ishibashi

This one is from Japan; thanks to Natalia
