Arcade Fire - Ocean Of Noise

And another one, thanks again to Krugman.

Dance Me to the End of Love

Another nice one that I found via Krugman's blog. The economist is a reliable guide to where good music is happening!

Feist - The Bad In Each Other

Discovered on Paul Krugman's blog.

Azmat Hussain of L'il Champs 2011

After a performance by this ten-year-old, Jawed Ali said of the boy that when he performs he wants him to go on and on and he wants to forever listen to him. That there is my own feeling for little Azmat. Here in this video the boy sings raw without mike and band. I am deeply inspired by Azmat’s devotion to his art—if I can summon up the measure of devotion for my vocation that this boy takes to his music, what would the results be?

Music at Lalith Mahal Palace

Lalith Mahal Palace Hotel, Mysore

There is news from Mysore, where I was born.

I was there two months ago, for a thanksgiving prayer at Chamundi Hills, whereafter we went down to the Lalith Mahal Palace Hotel for lunch. They played light music from old Hindi films, with serious classical instruments. The neighborhood of the hotel is still very quiet, and that is the lingering memory of Mysore for me, as a quiet place in spite of its growth. I found it hard to imagine the scene of the two elephants tearing around town in panic, and the tragedy.
