the play on words in this blog (sosoglad/sad) stands for bittersweet tunes - so i will pass this blog onto friends of mine and new friends i make during my journey through world history and the internet who i think like to listen to stuff like that (and i would like to invite you to pass it onto people you know, if you want)

Will Oldham - good guy. Worked with Bjork, Johnny Cash, Joanna Newsome and with the genious Tortoise. At the moment not really something on my mind - just happy. Good Night.

Lost in Moments

Recommended by: Georg, Germany

Artist: Ulver
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulver )


"Ulver (Norwegian for “wolves”) is a musical group from Norway. Since their first, folklore-influenced black metal release entitled Bergtatt - Et eeventyr i 5 capitler (1994), Ulver’s musical style has been fluid and increasingly eclectic, blending genres such as avant-garde rock, trip hop, symphonic and chamber traditions, noise and experimental music, with heavy reliance on electronic recording techniques."
From Black Metal, via Trip Hop to... yeah, listen on your own.
To continue the topic from yesterday, "Don't forget where you come from", I'd like to ask you for the first and the last record you bought.

„it's easy to forget where you came from if there's no question of your return“
True, i guess. Thats probably why we can hear the message, that you shouldn't forget your past, that you shouldn't forget where you come from, in so many other songs of diffrent artists. Why is it important, not to forget where you come from, not to forget your roots? Is it, actually?

And:

Here a, at least for the people I know reading, already well known remix of Emily Haine's Masterpiece "Reading in Bed", by 65daysofstatic - just to explain the name of the blog.
