NEW TIGRAN HAMASYAN ALBUM
That is all.
Thanks for this! The sound owes a debt to Barış Manço (1943-1999), pioneer of Anatolian rock. His folk psychedelic "Dere Boyu Kavaklar" (1975) includes Oktay Aldoğan playing a soprano and a tenor sax in harmony. The ballad "Gülpembe" (1981) combines flute and heavy guitar, though not quite the Norman Greenbaum territory of Umut Adan. Manço's career spanned a wide range of styles, including many children's favorites and the weird concept album 2023. His sudden death by heart attack left Turkey in shock, as the retrospective double-album Mançoloji was released with the instrumental "40. Yıl" celebrating 40 years making music. Remembering Barış Manço: Turkey’s music legend The car in the video you posted is an Anadol A1 (1966–1975), Turkey's first mass-production car, designed by Ogle, source of the Raleigh Chopper, Triumph Trident, XP-34 Landspeeder, and the infamous Reliant Robin.
The car, minus rooftop stereo, was featured on Bring a Trailer in 2018.
Thanks for continuing the weekly music sharing post. While I am working, I will leave this post open in a separate window on my other monitor, and just listen to each track people have posted. The diversity of musical styles is cool... i don't usually know what 'type of music' each post will be before I click on it. So it is a nice surprise, and a good way to hear music I might not find otherwise. Thank you.
I've had this stuck in my head for like a week after deciding I wanted to write a queer reading of it. Like 90% of the day. This is not unusual for me and has a medical name I can't remember. I basically stopped listening to music for a year because of it
Daddy Boastin passed away today. I'm pretty sure his Trinity Sound is the oldest (at least still active) sound system in Sweden. Went to one of their clubs as recently as last year. I probably heard his song "Värsting" before The Specials. He's probably best known for his feature on Teddybears' album Soft Machine.
