The new album of Dean Blunt was released on May 1st and the last four days plays on repeat. As a dear friend of mine with extremely high MQ (meaning Musical Quotient in my world) said: “It’s fucked up -melancholic and reflective though – not exactly good social music. This guy is a serious stoner”.
You can stream “The Redeemer” here.
This one brings tears of pleasure and undefined nostalgia in my eyes:
Yasuaki Shimizu - Umi No Ue Kara
Listen to the full album, “Kakashi”, here
Four Tet shared this the other day at his official FB page and I came across the tune that could loop in eternity.
“A frozen in time piano played by the hands of Robert Smith (The Cure) and a hauntingly beautiful cello by Steven Severin, always leaves me with a hopeful, fuzzy aftertaste every single time. The echoing piano, the fainting violin on the background and the slow camera rotation focusing on everything in the room (flowers, hands, faces, strings), catching your eyes with its amazing details, left me standing, waiting for something unknown, something alive, someone”.
Panos chooses this Sunday’s lovesong
I’m a cork on the ocean
Floating over the raging sea
How deep is the ocean?
How deep is the ocean?
I lost my way

My brother introduced me to this piece of art a couple of months ago and I was instantly captured by the bass of this frozen disco gem. You can imagine my excitement when (photographer and dj) Chris Kontos played this the other day
at Blue Bird bar –all in all, my kind of the ideal-easy-Friday-night-drinks-out.
It was late summer when Common Heat introduced me to Jai Paul and still, the same groovy feelings flow through me after all the repeats.
I think it’ll be like that every time with this track.
Pretty sure its going to be.
A mixtape (click here) for the end of 2012 -it wasn’t that bad, was it?- with some tunes personally chosen with
love by my brother, Panos.
Warm wishes for the new year to you all.

Love the tune but I love the video even more
How much beauty fits in a track?
There hasn’t been a day the last three weeks that I haven’t listened to this -and my heart cracks every single time. Thank you Nic.
*sigh*
The first rain of September inaugurates autumn officially. This is a mixtape for the summer that moves to the other hemisphere, made especially for you by Panos, with whom I share similar music taste, and it’s divided in three parts that move gently through genres.
Enjoy.
Now if you will excuse me, I have to find a nice spacious hole to put my head and spend winter.
I can’t tell one from the other
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I’ll be

Sunday’s lovesong is a recommendation by Mr. Common Heat
When you’re fast asleep,
What is it that’s lightin’ up the dreams you see?
when no words are needed
color pops and sunday’s lovesong by The Electric Prunes (1968)
oh how I love this one, and the unofficial video I came across with, which is absolutely brilliant
on repeat
What i really needed for my easter holidays was to stay home. Just stay there.
And relax by taking some good care of the house, cooking, dying psychedelic easter eggs and taking the usual annual photos of my wisteria tree, in full bloom. I also enjoyed a semi-celebrational vegie thai dinner at Miss-Athenes’s. Very. And some good music. And a hair mask. And matching my eggs with details of the house.
