Yeshimebet Dubale was the singer I started off the ግልጽ ያልሆነ ጉድጓድ series with a couple of years ago. I still know nothing about her. One notable development since then is an instrumental cover of her song "Tiz Alegn Andesew" by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti called "Reminiscences (Before Today [2010])." And then there are these three new videos. መደሰት!

At first listen, Inter-Groupie Psychotherapeutic Elastic Band sounds a lot like their name suggests: feel-good hippie commune music with a lot of acoustic guitar— somewhere in between Ya Ho Wa 13 and The Family International. But the grandiosity of the harmonies might clue you in to the group's proggier pedigree. The songs are credited to A. Koulouris and A. Loafer (a pseudonym).

Night Bird speaks to the dreary lives people create for themselves. And when we finally find some means of escape, we all too often retreat to the same drab existence we sought comfort in all along. The film premiered in 1975 at the inaugural Annecy International Animated Film Festival.

The missionary mating practice of the elephant, as imagined by the French naturalist Buffon.
No single person had a greater impact on naturalist thought in 18th-century Europe than Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon. Published over the course of four decades (1749–1788), his 44-volume Histoire Naturelle attempted to chronicle and synthesize all biological knowledge.

Seriously, how great is that cover?

The Marrakech-born Maâlem Mustapha Baqbou is one of the great sentir (or gimbri) players of gnawi trance music. Gnawa is traditionally healing music and shares similar characteristics with Malian n'goni music, perhaps because the gnawi people were once slaves of the Mali Empire centuries ago. A mixture of Islam and West African religions, gnawa ceremonies rely on a maâlem like Baqbou to summon Murky Recesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06649929462492619639noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492219245217019773.post-43754771390419189992011-05-31T13:28:00.001-05:002011-07-29T21:16:10.205-05:00Train I'm On
