Hi Mila, I think what I fond difficult, and it has nothing to either your des Tipton, is that my own desire to have my pairing make 'sense', in whatever manner satisfies me. I just don't want to randomly pair a guitar based song with a keyboard based song.

And as Christian stated. How do I know how a song is written.

My first pairing was based on knowing the story behind Valdez to Tribe of Names. (As an aside, I think I do prefer Thirteen over Black Eyed Susans as a comparison. It's more piano oriented and I like the pairing with Mayfly.)

It's fine the way it is, Greg! I didn't know you would come up with more suggestions. I'm looking forward to them. :)

You're right, if it is not just about singer-songwriters it's not as easy as I thought. But still, if there is f.e. a keyboardist in a band then at least there is a chance, that he is one of the songwriters. You have many examples esp. in the prog department and in 60s/70s rock in general. Besides you have all the 80s synth stuff etc. But even if a keyboarder in a band is not a songwriter/composer he can still significantly shape the musical style of a band. Your band Valdez is a great example.

^ I don't know who's crazier here, Minchin or these two Kiwis, but this is the first time that I have heard of the duo! Are they well known in the u.s., George? LOL

Breaking the rules here with a third pairing right after a second but I wanted to get this posted before I lost it.

First up is Damn Fine Coffee. I wanted to suggest this band from the start but couldn't think of a pairing that I was satisfied with. Damn Fine Coffee is basically a solo project of multi-instrumentalist Jonn Buzby. On their first two albums, he was supported by a bassist and drummer while he sang and played keyboards. He plays all instruments on the third. No guitars. Jonn is also singer/keyboardist for prog band Land of Chocolate. He was the drummer for prog band Finneus Gauge, where his brother Chris Buzby played keyboards. Loose connection to my first pairing is that Chris Buzby is the keyboardist for Echolyn.

Damn Fine Coffee - All We Are



The second is Old Man Wizard, a heavy rock power trio from San Diego. Their music has some prog influences. This track isn't heavy rock and felt like it could be paired with the Damn Fine Coffee track because of it acoustic nature. I had suggested but not nominated them in a previous Interactive Poll.

Old Man Wizard - Never Leave

They were known for their TV show. Flight of the Conchords had an acclaimed HBO musical sitcom from 2007 to 2009 in which they played fictionalized versions of themselves trying to achieve success in the U.S. The show earned an Emmmy nomination for best comedy. I believe the clip you saw was from an HBO special filmed in London.

Here's the song I suggested as shown in the TV show from episode 3 of season 1



I had not too long ago shared a Tim Minchin song with a friend of mine who had not heard of him and she replied that it made her think of Flight of the Conchords.

The British sense of humour is quite different from the American humour I know, although the Kiwi variety is a bit milder and more laidback. I'm glad that the boys were able to make America laugh. They made me laugh too, I didn't know them. Thanks for introducing them here! Smile

Here's another pairing from me:

Owen Pallett: This Is the Dream of Win and Regine


Owen Pallett is a Canadian composer, violinist, keyboardist and singer who came to my attention through his work with Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire, having been credited as an arranger and instrumentalist on each of their studio albums. But he is also an artist in his own right. This is a song from one of his early solo albums (Has a Good Home, 2005). In 2014 Pallett and Arcade Fire member William Butler were nominated for Best Original Score at the Academy Awards for their original score of the film "Her".

Soap&Skin: Heal


Soap&Skin is the experimental musical project of Austrian artist Anja Plaschg. In 2008 she played German singer Nico in the play "Nico - Sphinx aus Eis" by Werner Fritsch in Berlin and Vienna, performing several songs in it. After only playing a few concerts she was already being dubbed a Wunderkind. This is a song off her latest album. She composes her music mainly on piano, combined with electronica.

Hey guys, would anyone else like to suggest something or should we start the voting (if at all)?
