<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://singlomerado.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/conejo.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-119" title="conejo" src="http://singlomerado.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/conejo.jpg?w=247" alt="" width="247" height="300" /></a>Y viendo el viento, me azotó en la cara, por el desaire, por la reacción al verle, yo, primero en verle, luego en girarle la cara.</p>
<p>&#8220;- Qué te crees, perdedor.</p>
<p>- Nada, no vuelvas a pegarme.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Hoy, sábado sabadete, día tranquilo con niebla, Morcheeba cantando, nadie en casa, y yo estudiando.</p>
<p>Todo apunta a ser el sábado de descanso que deseaba desde hace tanto. Tan solo tengo que estudiar, sin calentarme demasiado la cabeza, aunque consciente de que la semana que viene tengo 5 exámenes, nada menos, así que va a tocar motivarse un poco y echarle ganas al asunto.</p>
<p>El texto de cabecera que he puesto hoy viene a la curiosidad que me plantea el hecho de leer libros donde la indiferencia es un punto bastante fuerte del protagonista. Pongo por ejemplo Nada, de Carmen Laforet, o algun otro que ahora mismo no recuerdo.</p>
<p>Me pregunto si realmente habrá alguien así, con tal desprecio por los hechos que le suceden. Se limitan a narrar, sin expresar emociones, simplemente viven la vida tal y como está, sin lamentarse. Me parece curioso.</p>
<p>Tengo que reconocer que yo mismo he intentado llegar a ese punto, pero no lo he conseguido. Qué quieres que le haga, sigo teniendo emociones pese a todo.</p>
<p>Hoy dejo un vídeo de Morcheeba, cuya canción no puedo dejar de escuchar. Es Everybody loves a loser.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://20watts.wordpress.com/features/the-20-8-trip-hop-pt-1/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9357" title="djshadow" src="http://20watts.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/djshadow1.jpg" alt="djshadow" width="400" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>The Bristol sound, also known as trip-hop, was born from the British hip-hop and house scenes of the mid-1990s. Artists like Massive Attack, DJ Shadow and Portishead took the hybrid genre and turned it into a hip-hop-influenced electronica that harnessed a fanbase that reached between the Atlantic. The listening experience, likened to a “musical trip,” is one intensely focused on the abstract, atmospheric qualities of the genre. It has grown over the years to encompass turntablism, acid jazz, electro and dance into a hybrid genre that continues to expand into the contemporary hip-hop scene.</p>
<p>So what’s the very best of trip-hop? 20 Watts’ <em><strong>JOHN LUPOSELLO</strong></em> has the answer in <a href="http://wp.me/PeBGc-2qq" target="_blank">our eighth 20 installment</a>. Watch for new 20s each Thursday, only on 20 Watts, and check out our previous 20s below!</p>

<blockquote><p><em><span style="color:#333333;">Shut the gates and sunset<br />
After that you can&#8217;t get out<br />
You can see the bigger picture<br />
Find out what it&#8217;s all about<br />
You&#8217;re open to the skyline<br />
You won&#8217;t want to go back home<br />
In a garden full of angels<br />
You will never be alone</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#333333;">But oh the road is long<br />
The stones<br />
That you are walking on<br />
Have gone</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#333333;">With the moonlight to guide you<br />
Feel the joy of being alive<br />
The day that you stop running<br />
Is the day that you arrive</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#333333;"> </span><span style="color:#333333;">And the night<br />
That you got locked in<br />
Was the time to decide<br />
Stop chasing shadows<br />
Just enjoy the ride</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">If you close the door<br />
To your house<br />
Don&#8217;t let anybody in<br />
It&#8217;s a room<br />
That&#8217;s full of nothing<br />
All that underneath your skin<br />
Face against the window<br />
You can&#8217;t watch it<br />
Fade to grey<br />
And you&#8217;ll never<br />
Catch the fickle wind<br />
If you choose to stay</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">With the moonlight to guide you<br />
Feel the joy of being alive<br />
The day that you stop running<br />
Is the day that you arrive</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">(Chorus)</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">And the night<br />
That you got locked in<br />

Stop chasing shadows<br />
Just enjoy the ride</span></p>

Just enjoy the ride</span></em></p>

<p>Skye Edwards, former frontwoman of Morcheeba, has released an album and nobody knew about it. Even Wikipedia doesn&#8217;t list it. Some major retailers don&#8217;t have it. It&#8217;s aptly titled <em>Keeping Secrets</em>. We currently can&#8217;t find it anywhere. Her MySpace pages says <a href="http://www.myspace.com/myskyesite" target="_blank">little about it</a>. Why?</p>

<p>Thorsten hat mal wieder gewühlt, damit sein Regal endlich voll wird, wir haben eine neue Kategorie und präsentieren unsere Wohnzimmerkritik im Schnelldurchlauf zu Skye Edwards, Ilse DeLange, Sophie Zelmani und Carol Elliott.<!--more--></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_609" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 330px"><strong><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-609 " style="margin-left:0;margin-right:10px;" title="carolelliottmyspace" src="http://lauschsofa.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/carolelliottmyspace.jpg" alt="Carol Elliott © offizielle Myspace-Seite" width="320" height="480" /></strong></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Carol Elliott © offizielle Myspace-Seite</p></div>
<p><strong>Carol Elliott – The People I Meet</strong></p>
<p>Fangen wir mit der ältesten CD – in jeder Hinsicht – im Reigen an: Carol Elliotts <em>The People I Meet</em> ist ein Folk-Album mit Countrystimme, eine Stimme, die hier und da auch an unsere Konzertkritik von letzter Woche, Ann Vriend erinnert. Wer früher Mary Black gehört, hier und da mal Joan Baez bei den Eltern geklaut hat oder auch gerne mal eine Art Countryscheibe zum Autofahren braucht, ist mit Carol Elliott gut bedient. Frau mit Gitarre und melancholischen Texten, aufgenommen in Nashville. Leider mit lieblos gruselig gestaltetem Cover (das gehört bei Taxim aber wohl zum guten Ton). <em>The People I Meet</em> stammt aus dem Jahr 1996 und so sieht es auch aus. Ob sich bei der Produktion von Folk bis heute dramatisch etwas geändert hat, entzieht sich unserer Kenntnis, vielleicht sind aktuell wieder andere Raumklänge schick. Diese Produktion ist jedenfalls solide und hat keine negativen Auswirkungen auf die künstlerische Leistung. Schöne zweistimmige Passagen bekommt man ebenfalls geboten wie z.B. bei »Angels«. Thorstens Favoriten auf dem Album sind neben dem Titeltrack auch »V.T. &#38; Me« und »What about us«. Jule hingegen steht mehr auf »Angels« oder »Roller Coaster Ride« – den Thorsten nach kurzer Überlegung doch auch dann besser findet  als den Titeltrack… Und überhaupt das ganze Album »gar net schlecht«.</p>
<p>Ein empfehlenswertes Folk-Album – und genau dazu sollte man entweder in entsprechender Stimmung sein oder Folkfan. Sonst findet man es vermutlich langweilig und die Stimme gewöhnungsbedürftig.</p>
<div id="attachment_610" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 220px"><img class="size-full wp-image-610 " style="margin-left:0;margin-right:10px;" title="peopleimeet" src="http://lauschsofa.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/peopleimeet.jpg" alt="Carol Elliott – The People I Meet" width="210" height="210" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Carol Elliott – The People I Meet</p></div>
<p>Noch ein paar soft und hard facts: Optisch erinnert Frau Elliott ein wenig an die mögliche Mutter von Juliette Lewis. Außer diesem einen Album gibt es leider keine anderen Veröffentlichungen, derzeit schreibt sie Kurzgeschichten, betätigt sich als Malerin und ist hier und da auch noch auf der Bühne zu sehen, allerdings nur in USA. Kaum zu glauben, aber es gibt sogar eine <a title="Deutsche Fansite Carol Elliott" href="http://www.mywebpromotion.com/carolelliott/fotos.htm" target="_blank">deutsche Fansite</a> mit ein paar alten Fotos und Bildern von ihrem (einzigen?) Auftritt in Deutschland bei Jürgen v. d. Lippe. Der Bass auf diesem Album stammt vom Alisson Krauss-Bruder Viktor, Produzent Steve Gibson war entweder <a title="Steve Gibson Country" href="http://www.countryragepage.com/stevegibson.htm" target="_blank">Country</a>- oder <a title="Steve Gibson bei Wikipedia" href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grabby_Awards" target="_blank">Pornostar</a>, genaues ließ sich von uns via Google oder Wikipedia nicht recherchieren.</p>
<p><span style="color:#33cccc;"><strong>Grabbelkisten-Fazit:</strong> </span>Carol Elliott kann uns die Winterabende vor dem Kamin oder der Etagenheizung versüßen, am Besten mit einer Kanne Tee, Kerzenlicht und leckeren Plätzchen *hoho*.

<p><strong>Skye – Mind how you go</strong></p>
<p>Just zum gestrigen Trefftag hat Skye ihr neues Album <em>Keeping Secrets </em>veröffentlicht (hat der Thorsten ja gut hinbekommen) – komplett in Eigenregie wie es scheint, denn an einem Label ist sie laut ihrer MySpace-Seite nicht interessiert. Wir wollen uns aber dem bereits 2 Jahre alten <em>Mind how you go</em> widmen, dem ersten Soloalbum von Skye Edwards. So, und jetzt kurz in euch gehen, genaauu, das ist die ehemalige Sängerin von <a title="Morcheeba im Web" href="http://www.morcheeba.co.uk/" target="_blank">Morcheeba</a>. Damit hat sie bei Jule schonmal einen kleinen Bonus für die Erst-Hörung. Denn Morcheeba haben unbestritten mit ihr ein paar groovende und eingängige Veröffentlichungen auf den Markt gebracht. Das Album beginnt mit einem Mädchentrack – denn die gucken schließlich Grey’s Anatomy (wieder so eine Entdeckung aus dieser Serie, gute Auswahl und Arbeit, Mister oder Miss Music-Supervisor). »Love Show« bleibt auch der Titel, der am meisten überzeugt auf <em>Mind how you go</em>. Das Album hört sich im weiteren Verlauf leider stark nach Bandproduktion und nicht nach Solokünstler an. Recht präsenter Bass und oft zurückgestellte Stimme. Was bei dem (hier) fragilen Sound von Skye Edwards leider kontraproduktiv ist. Die Songs klingen teilweise so, also wolle man auf jeden Fall nicht die Morcheeba-Fans vergraulen (z.B. bei »Solitary«), aber trotzdem etwas Eigenständiges erschaffen. Gelingt das?</p>
<div id="attachment_613" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 220px"><img class="size-full wp-image-613 " style="margin-left:0;margin-right:10px;" title="mindhowyougo" src="http://lauschsofa.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/mindhowyougo.jpg" alt="Skye Edwards – Mind how you go" width="210" height="210" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Skye Edwards – Mind how you go</p></div>
<p>Ruhig, elektronisch-akustisch, ein Album für den frühen Morgennebel, aber nicht zum Wachwerden, sondern zum finalen Chillen bzw. Absacken bei Sonnenaufgang. Es geht längst nicht so ab wie bei frühen Morcheeba-Alben, sondern es plätschert alles sehr smoooooooth vor sich hin. Schade auf jeden Fall, dass die Stimme nicht ausreichend zur Geltung kommt, Bonus (siehe oben) also leider durch den Produzenten (Patrick Leonard, der wird nachher nochmal wichtig) verspielt. Wir hatten das Organ von Frau Edwards bei Morcheeba etwas präsenter in Erinnerung (wahrscheinlich lag es an den Unmengen Lagavulin, die laut CD-Booklet von Leonard angekarrt wurden, dass es dermaßen entspannt klingt). <em>Mind how you go</em> stellt sich ein wenig als »Do you mind how« (oder so ähnlich) heraus. Das Album rauscht durch die Ohren, tut nicht wirklich weh und zurück bleibt wenig. Aber wer schon bei Sade Durchhaltevermögen bewiesen hat, wird Skye Edwards sicherlich bis Minute 42 treu bleiben. Ähnliches könnte auch für das neue Album gelten, das allerdings deutlich elektronischer daherkommt – urteilt man nach den kurzen Teasern auf der MySpace-Seite. Empfehlungen zur richtigen Hör-Vorbereitung der Alben geben wir hier aus rechtlichen Gründen nicht, aber wer nicht drauf kommt, sollte mal einen Blick auf den letzten Titel des hier vorgestellten Albums werfen.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#33cccc;">Grabbelkisten-Fazit:</span> </strong>Auf keinen Fall während einer langen Autobahnfahrt hören, sondern erst wenn ihr wieder zuhause seid und nichts mehr vorhabt. <em>Mind how you go</em> ist dank der schönen Stimme auch für Patienten mit Schlafstörungen bestens geeignet. Thorstens persönliches Fazit: »Jetzt hab ich halt einen weiteren Regal-Zentimeter im CD-Archiv dauerhaft aufgefüllt.« Immerhin ist die CD hübsch.<br />
<span style="color:#666699;"><strong>Grabbelkisten-Preis:</strong></span> <strong>2,99</strong> Euro (im MediMax, Böblingen), heutiger Vergleichs-Preis 14,95 (amazon) und 14,99 (jpc)</p>

<p><strong>Sophie Zelmani – Memory Loves You</strong></p>
<p>Auch hier haben wir es mit einer fragilen Stimme zu tun: Sophie Zelmani ist sowas wie die schwedische Leonore Cohen (und hat unglaublich geniale Promofotos wie dieses hier, das musste Jule einfach so groß abbilden). Durchgängig ruhige Songs, aber eben mit deutlich mehr Spannung und Dynamik als bei Skye Edwards. Wie sagt Thorsten so schön: »Der Sound atmet.«, will sagen, Spielfreude und Seele sind da wo sie hingehören: auf das Album. Die Songs haben Tiefe und sind teilweise schwere Emotionsbrocken, Zelmani ist mit jeder Faser ihres Körpers dabei (Zelle kann man ja nicht mehr sagen). Auch die Produktion des Albums passt perfekt in seiner Zerbrechlichkeit, da hat ihr langjähriger Produzentenpartner Lars Halapi – selbst Country- und Jazzmusiker und Gitarrist auf <em>Memory Loves You</em> – einfach den Bogen raus. So fragil und nah die Songs selbst sind, so fern und unnahbar bleibt Sophie Zelmani, wenn man einen Blick in ihre Biografie und z.B. die aktuell abgesagten Tourdaten wirft. Sie gehört eher zu den scheuen Stars, die am liebsten ihre Songs und Ideen im Studio verwirklicht, aber kein großes Interesse an Öffentlichkeit hat. Das soll ihr gegönnt sein, wenn sie weiterhin so melancholisch-schönen Akustik-Pop veröffentlicht.</p>

<p><strong> </strong>Ihre Heimat Schweden liebt sie, dort stieg ihr letztes Album <em>The Ocean and Me </em>direkt auf Platz 1 ein. Hier und da sind Ähnlichkeiten zu Jewel in ihren besten Zeiten festzustellen (abgesehen von der Stimme). Denn zum Pop gesellen sich in einigen Songs auch ein wenig Country oder Folk. <em>Memory Loves You</em> stammt aus dem Jahr 2007, davor hat sie bereits sechs Alben veröffentlicht, die allerdings völlig an uns vorbeigegangen sind. Unser Favorit: »Love on my Mind«.<br />

<p><strong>Ilse DeLange – The Great Escape</strong></p>
<p>Was unsere Begeisterungsfähigkeit angeht, müssen wir einerseits zugeben, dass Jule wohl am heutigen Abend eher der Popmusik zugeneigt ist und ihr Frau DeLange bei unserem Extrem-Listening (vier Alben in 2 Stunden) spontan am besten gefallen hat. Andererseits widmet Thorsten der Optik des letzten Albums deutlich mehr Aufmerksamkeit (Männer!) und sagt, dass das nur an der Farbe des Inlays liegt (grün &#8211; ja, schon klar…). Der Rest, also die Akustik, langweilt ihn eher. Abgesehen von der grünen Farbe erinnert das Styling ein wenig an die 70er (und das hat jetzt nicht Thorsten gesagt), sehr lichtdurchflutet (mehr Weichzeichner gibt’s nur bei Bilitis). Optisch hat sie entfernte Ähnlichkeit mit Avril Lavigne oder Nicole Kidman. Leider passt Frau DeLange die Jacke vom Shootingkleiderständer nicht. Aber die hatte sie bei den Aufnahmen wohl nicht an. Zumindest singt sie nicht eingequetscht, sondern mit recht klarer Stimme, hier und da mit gewöhnungsbedürftigem Vibrato (wer sich noch an die Songs der Kelly Family erinnert, weiß was wir meinen).</p>
<div id="attachment_619" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 220px"><img class="size-full wp-image-619 " style="margin-left:0;margin-right:10px;" title="greatescape" src="http://lauschsofa.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/greatescape.jpg" alt="Ilse DeLange – The Great Escape" width="210" height="210" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Ilse DeLange – The Great Escape</p></div>
<p>Produzent Patrick Leonard – jaa, da isser wieder – hat den Lagavulin offensichtlich im Schrank stehen lassen, denn die Platte klingt deutlich frischer als der Solo-Erstling von Kollegin Edwards. DeLange klingt ein wenig wie ihre Landsmännin (oder wie sagt man da jetzt? Landsfrau? Landsmannseuse?) Anouk, nach einer Prise The Coors und deutlich nach Sheryl Crow, und dann kann man hier nach Wahl noch ein paar Popdamen eintragen. Denn die sauber produzierten Popsongs hätten auch von anderen Künstlern veröffentlicht werden können. So eine echte Handschrift ist nicht zu erkennen, es fehlt an Eigenständigkeit. Was nicht die Qualität schmälern soll; handwerklich ist das alles recht gut. Gesang und Arrangement kuscheln sich schön zusammen, ab und an gibt es auch Überraschungen. Aber der echte Knalleffekt bleibt aus. Vielleicht ist das ja bei ihrem aktuellen Album <em>Incredible</em> anders – das kann man bei obig erwähntem CD-Versender für sage und schreibe 70,- Euro als Import erwerben. Irre… Ist im Onlinestore von Ilse DeLange deutlich günstiger…</p>
<p><span style="color:#33cccc;"><strong>Grabbelkisten-Fazit:</strong></span> Fast 60 Minuten bietet <em>The Great Escape</em> – schöne Popmusik, die hier und da vielleicht etwas druckvoller und eigenständiger daherkommen könnte. Für Anouk-Fans sicherlich eine hübsche hollän- – äh ups – niederländische Alternative. Thorsten gefällt nach wie vor das Cover noch am Besten an der CD. Also vielleicht vorher mal kurz reinhören <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<span style="color:#666699;"><strong>Grabbelkisten-Preis:</strong></span> <strong>2,99</strong> Euro (im MediMax, Böblingen) und für Jule <strong>0,-</strong> Euro (Thorsten hat ihr die CD gleich geschenkt), heutiger Vergleichs-Preis 17,95 (amazon) und 17,95 (jpc)</p>

<p>It&#8217;s one thing to name your album <em>Keeping Secrets</em> but it&#8217;s quite another to actually <em>keep</em> it a secret. Ex-Morcheeba singer Skye Edwards released her second solo album today, but there&#8217;s barely a scrap of information about it anywhere on the internet. All we know is that it has 10 songs and was released through her own label Skyewards Recordings, and that the album cover was shot by French photographer Thierry Le Goues. Oh, and that you can buy it on <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=335944397&#38;s=143444" target="_blank"><span style="color:#800000;">iTunes</span></a>. Visit Skye&#8217;s <a href="http://www.myspace.com/myskyesite" target="_blank"><span style="color:#800000;">Myspace</span></a> to hear two new songs – the gently chiding &#8216;Not Broken&#8217; and the aggressively sultry epic &#8216;Monsters Demons&#8217;. Not bad at all.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambutan">rambutan</a> is a fruit that i can&#8217;t really describe except to say that the inside is tasty, slimy, lychee-like and delicious and encased in a soft-spiny-acorn-like casing.  my sole rambutan experience took place in a suburb of kuala lumpur, where two malaysian women and five malaysian men took turns plucking the fruit from the trees surrounding a habitat-for-humanity candidate (pictured below) while i tried my best to ignore the ants crawling up my arm towards <span style="color:#0000ff;">the most geographically-suspect, papaya-sized mosquito bite i&#8217;d ever encountered</span>.</p>
<p><a href="http://imposium.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/habitathouse.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-938" title="habitathouse" src="http://imposium.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/habitathouse.jpg" alt="habitathouse" width="387" height="290" /></a></p>
<p>the rambutan playlist is very much like the fruit, except only insofar as it is enjoyable despite seeming <span style="color:#ff0000;">a little suspect on the surface</span>.  still, the plainly forced connection really doesn&#8217;t speak to the actual reason this playlist is called rambutan.  the actual reason is this: it was the first word to pop into my head after lycheefruit, which i&#8217;d used for a playlist a few months ago.  if i was really combining an itunes playlist with rambutan, it might look something like this:</p>
<p><a href="http://imposium.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/rambutan.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-940" title="rambutan" src="http://imposium.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/rambutan.png" alt="rambutan" width="394" height="245" /></a></p>
<p>if you&#8217;re so inclined, click on the above image for a better view of the actual playlist, which has been thrice road-tested and once gym-tested &#8211; and, if you&#8217;re even further inclined, download the tracks and put it together yourself.  you might find that you enjoy it.  you might also find that it&#8217;ll cost you about sixteen dollars and that the electrolightz song isn&#8217;t actually released (but can be listened to on myspace) and that you can&#8217;t quite pull the ratatat remixes from your roommate&#8217;s laptop while he&#8217;s vacationing in bali quite as easily as i can.  but still, all the information is here, there and everywhere&#8230;</p>
<p>check out tha boogie <a href="http://thaboogie.com/">here</a>, electrolightz <a href="http://www.myspace.com/electrolightz">here</a> and get your hands on the jaydiohead remixes <a href="http://jaydiohead.com/">here</a>.  after that, you&#8217;re on your own.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">you</span>. <span style="color:#00ff00;">are</span>. <span style="color:#ff0000;">welcome</span>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2134" title="skye_edwards" src="http://80bpm.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/skye_edwards.jpg" alt="skye_edwards" width="150" height="150" />Agencja Go Ahead serdecznie zaprasza na trasę koncertową  &#8220;The Keeping Secrets Tour&#8221;<strong> Skye Edwards</strong>, wokalistki formacji Morcheeba. Charyzmatyczna artystka pojawi się  w Polsce na trzech koncertach: 10 listopada w poznańskim Eskulapie, 11 listopada w warszawskiej Stodole oraz 12 listopada w krakowskiej Rotundzie.</p>
<p><!--more--><br />
Występy będą promowały nowy krążek Skye, który ukaże się jesienią. Będzie to drugie wydawnictwo w solowej karierze Edwards. Jej pierwszy solowy album &#8220;Mind How You Go&#8221; ukazał się w 2006 roku, był promowany niezwykle chwytliwymi singlami &#8220;Love Show&#8221;  oraz  &#8220;What&#8217;s Wrong With Me&#8221;. Prawdziwą popularność Skye Edwards zdobyła oczywiście jako głos zespołu Morcheeba, niezwykle istotnej  grupy  z kręgu nowych brzmień, jednego z najważniejszych zespołów lat 90-ych.  Morcheeba znana  jest z takich hitów jak &#8220;Rome Wasn&#8217;t Built In A Day&#8221;,&#8221;Part Of The Process&#8221;, &#8220;Otherwise&#8221; czy &#8220;Be Yourself&#8221; &#8211; piosenki z repertuaru Morcheeby nadal stanowią istotny element koncertów Skye pomimo jej rozstania z grupą w 2003 roku.</p>
<p>Więcej informacji w tym ceny oraz miejsca sprzedaży biletów już wkrótce.</p>

<description><![CDATA[The reason I am feeling very old is because I went to register (or matriculate if you&#8217;re posh)]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The reason I am feeling very old is because I went to register (or matriculate if you&#8217;re posh) at my new university today.  It was an extremely daunting experience that left me feeling jumpy and nervous, despite the fact that I am actually looking forward to doing the course!  For one thing, I wasn&#8217;t there on any particular &#8220;postgraduate matriculation day&#8221;, everyone just registers together.  That meant I soon realised how uber-young and ultra-trendy the younger students were, some seemed as though they were about 15!</p>
<p>The process itself was daunting, involving a queue of about 600 people, a registry check, a finance check, a second finance check (had the first finance woman been out the previous evening, perhaps?), then a final registry check before you could finally queue to have your photograph taken and your ID card issued.  For what it&#8217;s worth, I ended up with a really good photo, which is unusual for me.</p>
<p>After the hour-and-a-half-long process, I held a small plastic card in my hands, which had a colour picture of me and one of the university buildings in the background, and the text read: &#8220;Jennifer Anne Fairgrieve, Full Time Postgraduate Student&#8221;.  And then something inexplicable hit me and I felt as though I was in shock.  Up until now the whole idea of going back to uni has been great to think about, and I&#8217;ve been merrily doing the coursework without really thinking about the fact that the start of the course is now so near.  I&#8217;m not worried about managing to read the last book and finish off the autobiography before then, after all I&#8217;ve already read three books so I can read another, and the basic autobiography is there and just needs tweaking.  There were times when I&#8217;d have asked myself <em>why</em> I felt a certain way, <em>why</em> I was nervous and anxious, but right now I am happy to just accomodate these feelings and allow them to be there.  I am sure that when I start the course a week on Monday I will soon settle down!</p>
<p>In other news, Mosco our Black Russian Terrier, has a very sore leg, and after an unsuccessful week&#8217;s course of anti-inflammatories, she will have an x-ray tomorrow morning at the vet&#8217;s to see if she is showing any signs of arthritis.  She&#8217;s now on an overnight fast so she can have the anaesthetic for the x-ray tomorrow morning.  Poor Mosco, hopefully she&#8217;ll feel a bit better soon.  On the plus side, she&#8217;s lost a kilogram since last week so her diet must be working.</p>
<p>Tomorrow I&#8217;m back at the Transcendental Meditation course to have my meditation checked so will no doubt report on how that goes.</p>
<p>I also thought I&#8217;d mention the wonderful world of <a title="trip-hop at Last.fm" href="http://www.last.fm/tag/trip-hop/wiki" target="_blank">trip-hop</a>, which sounds like something a young person might say, but sadly not.  Trip-hop started in the 90s (i.e. nearly twenty years ago!) with bands like Massive Attack, Morcheeba and so on, and there is a wealth of trip-hop artists out there today, both current and non-current.  Not all electronic music is trip-hop, but I would definitely say that all trip-hop is (or appears to be from my current listening experience) electronic.  Often trip-hop is characterised by gentle rap and/or haunting vocals, keyboards, drums, samples of virtually anything and a 4/4 beat.  Artists I am currently listening to and heartily recommend are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tricky</li>
<li>Morcheeba</li>
<li>Massive Attack</li>
<li>Goldfrapp</li>
<li>Portishead</li>
<li>Bjork (not strictly trip-hop but has some trip-hop-style songs)</li>
<li>Lemon Jelly</li>
<li>Hooverphonic</li>
<li>Groove Armada</li>
<li>Lamb</li>
</ul>
<p>Want to listen to them to see if I&#8217;m right about it being good? Then get yourself a copy of <a title="Spotify homepage" href="http://www.spotify.com/en/" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.  It&#8217;s free to download and easy and quick to install, and what&#8217;s more, you can listen to any music you want for free.  That&#8217;s right, free.  I&#8217;ve actually gone to the bother of putting a <a title="Up Close and Personal with Trip-Hop" href="http://open.spotify.com/user/gwinniegirl/playlist/10YMZJGpxFlr7QzrmOxhel" target="_blank">trip-hop playlist</a> together to give you an idea of the beauteous, chilled-out world that awaits you!</p>
