Interactive Poll #4 - Sometimes They Come Back

The Hu - neat song musically.  The throat singing will have to be a grower though I think but it is a unique take on vocals.

oh wait.. got that one already.  hitting the others you suggested 

So, enough people seemed to enjoy Jano Brindisi and now that I know that dropbox links work, here is a song written around the same time as Gorilla Girl, but an older recording than the YT video I submitted.  This one is called, "Someday."

But I'm listening to it as music and I'm sure i'm not alone. Musical softie that I am, I like the bits more that have some music-like structure, be it rhythm or something else, but my bar for this isn't really very high.

  Eavesdropping on the conversation, since it's in the threads....I actually enjoy listening to these kinds of things, as well.  I could not escape the MRI association with your actual entry, but this stuff, yes.  

I'll listen and vote tonight, or else tomorrow. I didn't feel like doing critical listening yesterday.

In fact I am very selective when it comes to things related to metal. A Covenant of Thorns - If the Heavens Should Fall. Gloomy 80's sounding electropop. The singing is a bit Bowie'ish. Absolutely not bad. Not something I normally like to listen to though, but I fully acknowledge its qualities. Johnny Cash sings Nick Cave - The Mercy Seat. This sends a shiver down my spine, and in the best possible way. Got a vote. Van Morrison - TB Sheets. I like the bluesy feel, but for that type of minimalistic music it drags on for a bit too long for my liking. I can understand its appeal though. I've never been a big fan of Van Morrison's singing style. Grizzly Bear (ft. Michael McDonald) - While You Wait... Alternative rock as I like it. I slightly prefer it in the original version. If I am not mistaken, they just removed the vocal tracks from the original recording and made the other guy sing over it. Interesting song in any case, and a strong contender for my votes. Jano Brindisi - Gorilla Girl. We enter something more singer/songwriter-like here. I really like the dissonant guitar arpeggio in the background and the very "analog" riff. Vocally it is a bit shaky, but I guess it is meant to be. Sometimes the imperfect is more interesting. Jellyfish - New Mistake. Didn't know the band. Judging by the sound, it's from late 70's to early 80's. Reminds me a bit of Toto. Like the Fender Rhodes.

I remember I went to see Bob Dylan at the Shoreline Ampitheater like 89 or 90, and toward the end, a guy gets on stage and is playing guitar and we think it's Neil Young. The guitar sounded like it was Neil, and he had long hair and was hunched over like Neil, but since he never turned around and faced the audience through two songs, we weren't certain. At the end he walked off and it sounded like Dylan said it was Neil Young. But we weren't sure since it was Dylan talking.

I have heard of the Catalyst and passed by it, but never went to a show there. My ex-wife grew up in Woodside and was neighbors with Neil. They shared a common stalker at one time. A guy was stalking Neil and decided he also liked the nearby teenage girl.
