The past week has been ridiculously eventful. It's not even that I don't have time to write about it, I just want to get this stuff up first. XD;
Forro in the Dark feat. Bebel Gilberto - Wandering Swallow (Juazeiro): uploading for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
canis_m as an example of what Bebel performing with FitD sounds like. It's a traditional song. Odd thing is I watched a performance clip of it ages ago, linked off David Byrne's blog - he's also featured a couple of times on the album. Actually, there he is (inna funny hat XD). I wish I remembered more about what he blogged regarding the gig's context.
Forro in the Dark feat. Miho Hatori - Paraíba: she sings in Japanese, and if no one had told me it was her I'd never have guessed it.
Forro in the Dark - Cajuína: a slower, mid-tempo swing instrumental, brass leading.
( Cut for: I found this on a French music blog and it basically made my day )
( Speaking of which )
What I mean to say is, I wasn't aware there was a kerfuffle - last I heard PFork was proclaiming CocoRosie to be genius (first album), not a shit band (second album). XD; Then again, since the last time I checked they seem to have turned into a sort of twee indie hip-hop outfit with a French rapper and a beatboxer(!) that writes actually hummable pop songs about rainbow horse warrior spirits. Or something. And the girl who sings the verses still sounds like Chara with laryngitis (again with the Chara).
CocoRosie - Werewolf (...again with the werewolves): this song starts In a dream I was a werewolf / My soul was filled with crystal light / Lavender ribbons of rain sang / Ridding my heart of mortal fight. I'm not making this up, feel free to download and listen to it. It's gorgeous and sad. Inna vegan femme spoken-word sort of way (note: vegan femme proponents of spoken-word performance are some of my best friends).
CocoRosie feat. Antony - Beautiful Boyz: and this one is about Jean Genet. NO RLY.
Patrick Wolf feat. Marianne Faithfull - Magpie: but wait, it gets better! By which I mean, holy shit it's Marianne Faithfull. XD I wish there were a video treatment of this song (directed by Dave McKean as befits its quality of soundtrack to a nonexistent Neil Gaiman fairytale).
Patrick Wolf - Godrevy Point: a b-side that's grown on me immensely, i.e. this song basically got me through the week. The second best thing to actually being on a deserted shore in Cornwall.
