Really strong set of #WeeklyMusicCall songs this pm. One of which was this, new from Labi Siffre. Gorgeous. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ura...

One of those #WeeklyMusicCall days which was almost entirely composed of corkers. Will post in a bit.

The current #thetenx5 lists flying around here are killing me when it comes to shortlisting for my #WeeklyMusicCall. Even without those, there's a lot of great regulations at the moment.

Putting a set list of music from or linked to New Orleans for tomorrow's #WeeklyMusicCall. Suggestions gratefully accepted. Though there's shed loads to go at, obv.

Settling down to pick my choices for tomorrow's #WeeklyMusicCall. I saw Robert Plant has done a Tiny Desk, so I'll check that.
But, of course, I'm listening to a choral version of Nur Ein Wort that I played a couple of months ago.

Just off a mixed #WeeklyMusicCall. A couple of duds, but also some very strong ones. Including, in the latter camp this, by Ellur. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wDS...

With my mate who runs the choir I'm in, we started a #WeeklyMusicCall in lockdown. Two hours of playing new-to-the-other music, of any genre, time, place. We're still going. Have learned a huge amount.

My mate whom I do #WeeklyMusicCall with after me a couple of tracks of Dieter Fischer-Dieskau singing Schubert not long back. Seriously good.

Morning again. Matches on now. Cracking. Is that a snippet of Malleus Maleficarum I spot?
Anyway, it's going into my #WeeklyMusicCall tomorrow: two hours each week with a mate playing new-to-the-other pieces of any & every genre/date/place.
Album pre-ordered. Will defo book Birdwell; maybe more.

Also, I chose this a few weeks ago on another #WeeklyMusicCall. You may know that I bloody love Nur Ein Wort, by Wir Sind Helden, and am always looking for covers. This, by the University of Jena Psycho-Chor (?!), is a very good one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-7g...

And Tim's last one was a banker
Lea Desandre, Thomas Dunford & Jupiter - Dido's Lament, from Purcell's Dido & Aeneas
We've heard a few of hers. She specialises in Baroque opera, and has a truly amazing voice. The piece is sublime; the band really know their stuff.

The Weather Station - Robber
My final choice, from the start of the year. Both felt this is great. Clever writing and arrangement; really good video too.

Vega Trails - Els
Sort of semi-minimalist modern jazz, with a consistently shifting focus. Must look them up; they intrigue.

As with the Tiny Desks, I replied with more Bach
New Zealand Youth Choir - Das Ist Meine Freude
They've just won a major choir competition, and are clearly very good. Though this was one we weren't quite as keen on.

Vikingur Ólafsson - JS Bach's Goldberg Variations BVW 988
Basically perfect. Seemingly simple, yet entrancing piano by an Official Giant, played superbly.

Ruby Ibarra - Bakunawa
And the winner of this year's Tiny Desk competition in return. Really punchy Filipino hip hop, and a lot more besides. Love this.

Third Coast Percussion - Niagara
From a Tiny Desk, which are a brilliant way of discovering music. Their quality standards are v high.
On paper, it'd sound dull. It really ain't.

James Blunt - No Bravery
About his time leading a unit in the Balkans. Packs a hell of a punch.
I had seen it mentioned in comments below an understandably tearful Charismatic Voice analysis of his Monster (even better than this)

Yuja Wang - The Smuggler (by Schumann)
She's right up there in the classical piano world, and makes this seem effortless.

#WeeklyMusicCall pick 3
Taylor Eigsti ft Becca Stevens - Listen In
Faintly jazzy chanson with a clever, twisting piano accompaniment. Her tone is lovely; he can play.

Forgot to include #WeeklyMusicCall
Tim's first choice:
2) The BoykinZ - Step Right Up
Really strong, slick pop with a country tinge. Ahead of Cowboy Carter for both of us.

I do my #WeeklyMusicCall with my mate Tim. He and his wife run Bevox, the choir I'm in in Sheffield; we're good friends now.
It started when lockdown began, 5 years ago. We would catch up on Zoom, and it has become that we play 30-40 minutes each of new-to-the-other music. Any genre, date, place.

I don't post publicly much on here. I was far more active in the good old days of now the frozen hellscape of X. Music, my ever patchy mental health, the quirks of life, my take on events. I got to know some of you (them). Even met a few in the flesh.
But I will launch into today's #WeeklyMusicCall.

Yeah, that's beautiful. Hypnotic. Like the string and harmonium arrangement. One for my #WeeklyMusicCall.
I don't know of her, so I will look her up.
Thank you.

Just managed to play The Groundhogs and Dark (Maypole) simultaneously. Boy, did that sound confused. But not completely insane.
This is more checking my #WeeklyMusicCall possibilities, this time based on a @nportnell.bsky.social recommendation for Dark.

So here is the one we both went for. An absolutely superb version of one of my very favourite songs - A Change Is Gonna Come. #WeeklyMusicCall #CharlesYang www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjAk...

Tim played this on yesterday's #WeeklyMusicCall. But only because I'd got in first with another Charles Yang piece. We've been going for five years now, and we've only had a couple of times before this when we've chosen the same piece. Well, now it's three.

Another really fun #WeeklyMusicCall today. I've just re-listened to a track of Tim's. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dVP... This is C16 polyphony, but the chords are absolutely mad. I expect Tallis, Josquin, Byrd, etc to sound glorious but harmonic. Not this. It's nuts, in a good way. Bravo Carlo Gesualdo
