Groovy Jazz, etc #8

It's quite possible that there is no one else alive today that has been more influential to the shaping of the aesthetic choices and musical direction of women in pop music than Kate Bush. Despite the innumerable artists who have taken inspiration from her, Bush remains eternally elusive, both in her alchemical musical talent, and in her personal life. 

Given her big break by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour who produced her first demo tape, in the five decades since, Bush's trajectory has weaved through multiple landmark albums, zeitgeist-altering music videos, and nascent entirely new musical genres. But, ultimately - the only true way to understand Kate Bush is to listen to the music.

HIGH JAZZ* with ill Dubio 26.12.2017

"Quiet genius" might seem like a trite platitude to bestow a pop musician, but there are fewer more deserving of the title in the 20th Century than Prefab Sprout's now retired songwriter Paddy McAloon. 

The true centre of the band, McAloon's musical arrangements, which playfully interpret country, rock'n'roll, synth pop and more, are at once heartwrenching and inventive. His famously wry lyrics, which import the deep interiority and experimentalism of midcentury novelists to three-minute pop songs, defy easy comparison. 

Experience unalloyed pop joy, with two hours of Prefab Sprout.

In a [2011 New York Times article](https://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/23/magazine/the-fierce-imagination-of-haruki-murakami.html?pagewanted=5&ref=baseball), Murakami estimated that he owns 10,000 records, but was too afraid to count. Music is elemental to the atmosphere of the stories he creates, his works filled with quotations, references and inspiration from the music world; even entire novels are structured around musical pieces, as with 1Q84. 

In this Guide, NTS collects just a few of Murakami's classical references found in his novels.

2019 Mix: Flo Dill

Been blogging, music sharing, etc. for a while now (see blog under this name) & DJing since 1982. I like all kinds of music.

Most of my playlists are not organized & just hold songs I'm interested in, many of which I haven't listened to yet. The "freeform current listening" playlist is as it says & will be updated regularly. Many of my reposts were unintentional, they were just random tracks I was trying to add to a playlist using my phone & I've got clumsy fingers.

our sound cloud is using only as sample listening for our web store. all items are distributing and selling by us. it is not intend to share sound sources. we are respect other people’s copyright. therefore if you want to remove a track from this account or any problem, please let us know the notice via our website. thank you for your understanding.
