Music Curated #22 - December 4th, 2023
It's just another music Monday
I mix it up here and share various music with my readers, so you’ll see something different each week. You may be into some of what I share, and you may not be into other things, and that’s okay. My goal is to share the things I enjoy and I hope to introduce my audience to something they might not have otherwise heard, and I hope some of it also resonates with you.
Song: Bjork - Human Behavior
When I first discovered Bjork in 1993 her unique sound amazed me and I loved how completely different her album, Debut, was from anything I had ever heard. I was instantly hooked and this track, Human Behavior was one of the highlights for me, among many other quirky and interesting sounds.
Playlist: Anthony Bourdain’s 302 Favourite Songs
Coming in at over 20 hours, this playlist made by Far Out Magazine is a testament to how important a role music played in Anthony Bourdain’s life. He was just as much of a connoisseur of great music as he was of great food.
Thanks to Morgan Neville, the director of the documentary charting Bourdain’s life, Roadrunner, we get an insight into what was playing. The creators rifled through his record collection and notes on music to provide a mammoth playlist of the songs he loved most. And now we are the benefactors of this cracking listen. To hell with all the restaurant recommendations he may have made, this is probably the most delectable treat that the late, great Anthony Bourdain left us: delicious peasant food for the ears.
Video: Sampha: Tiny Desk Concert
I recommended Sampha’s new album, Lahai, on here a couple of weeks ago, and now here he is back at NPR’s Tiny Desk for the first time in over six years, and this time along with a four-piece band. So happy to get to enjoy the new Sampha music and looking forward to him touring this new music.
