Praying To The Corporation
seems to be the new religion. Believe if you hate the poor and praise the rich someday your heavenly golden gate will open, too. Just by complaining.
Julian Lynch - Garden 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP-iHwg_Qps&feature=player_embedded
Julian Lynch's made loopy trancendental mini-marvel with this track; a glistening, hypnotic jangly layered riff slithers all over some mystical chanted vocals, butressed by some weird, reedy wind instrument, probably clarinet.

A Little More on Chopin
http://pagingdrgupta.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/24/did-chopin-have-epilepsy/?hpt=C2
It is interesting that Chopin had hallucinations. Is it possible that he heard the music in his head that he heard (and was mind blowing to people of the time) was influenced in anyway by his condition. Or were the pieces he wrote at 16 prior to any affects of his condition?
In 1848, Chopin wrote in a letter to the daughter of his girlfriend George Sand:

A strange adventure happened to me while I was playing my B flat Sonata for some English friends. I had played the Allegro and the Scherzo more or less correctly and I was about to play the March when, suddenly, I saw emerging from the half-open case of my piano those cursed creatures that had appeared to me on a lugubrious night at the Carthusian monastery [Majorca]. I had to leave for a while in order to recover myself, and after that I continued playing without saying a word

Kilbey and All India Radio
If you like The Church you might dig this. I haven't heard, but All India Radio is the down tempo beat sound and I am not sure what Kilbey brings - probably his stream of conscious vocals and melodies. http://secondmotionrecords.com/artists/steve-kilbey-martin-kennedy/white-magic-bundle.html
Obscure Music
It is strange how every blog about music - whether it be a big name or small - is talking about the exact same bands. There are so many amazing bands out there, what is the point of having your blog regurgitate everything the biggest blogs already have? Do a little digging. Within in 30 minutes on the net, I bet a real gem could be found.
