Soundtracks to Walks in the City

(to John)

Let Paris burn and London crumble. Singapore will atrophy and Los Angeles may always feel hollow. But with this as a soundtrack, let us imagine for a moment that they can - as cities; brews of intoxicating imagination and bottomless dreams - still be beautiful.

Headless Heros (http://www.myspace.com/denofheroes)

The Silence of Love is a beautiful themed album of covers, the motivation for making the Headless Heroes project was really music for music's sake. “I just wanted to make an album with great musicians and great songs... the rest would work itself out.”

Moodswing Orchaestra

because the music is almost as good as the cover and their name. which is still saying alot.

Olafur Arnalds (http://foundsongs.erasedtapes.com/)

from the Wiki: "Arnalds was a drummer of hardcore/metal bands Fighting Shit and Celestine as well as a other bands. He also contributed banjo, guitar and piano for in his friend's solo project "My Summer as a Salvation Soldier"

But adding to the allure, Found Songs (as if the title isn't seduction enough) is a ballad in piano and strings. 7 songs composed in 7 days, each released as they are done being recorded. Instant Music. This video will melt you. http://vimeo.com/6284199

Colour me punch-drunk, my first semi-proper post to an imagined audience. Hello World.
