Antony and the Johnsons – Cut the World.
Originally composed for Robert Wilson’s play “The Life and Death of Marina Abramović. (From Wikipedia: Abramović’s work explores the relationship between performer and audience, the limits of the body, and the possibilities of the mind.)
Haunting, melancholy, bleak to say the least.
Also beautiful (as Antony’s songs often are).

New from Fiona Apple from her upcoming album:
Looking forward to hearing more of the album (and a little sad I never made it to the Watkin’s Family Hour or a Jon Brion night at Largo at the Coronet in LA to see her live).

This has been going around a bit already, but I think its cool and feel like sharing it here:
The video was made with the studio that produced the old Popeye cartoons and is the first new Popeye cartoon in more than 30 years.

I’ve been on a bit of an Americana/Roots kick lately. So when I heard one of the songs off of this album on KCRW recently I had to look it up.
The album comes from lyrics found in four notebooks found in a briefcase with him when he was found dead in his Cadillac on New Year’s Day 1953. They’ve been stored in a vault at his record company (and its successive owners) ever since.
In the mid-70s, his son Hank Williams Jr. recorded some songs based on the lyrics found, however by and large the lyrics had remained in storage. Under the guidance of Bob Dylan, 12 artists have taken these unfinished lyrics and created songs from them.
I’m loving this album (despite its inherent sadness and loneliness).

The first single from the forthcoming album from the super group SuperHeavy (Damian Marley, Dave Stewart, Mick Jagger, A.R. Rahman and Joss Stone). Looking forward to hearing more from this album, but this is a pretty decent start.
