One of my Sons introduced me to 'post modern jukebox' on you tube. its excellent


My song and singer of the moment from PostModern jukebox is......





I still prefer the original version by Radiohead

I don’t tend to listen to, or know about, much music since the turn of the century. However my son introduced me to Courtney Barnett, and I’m smitten. Australia has produced two of my favourites bands, the Triffids and the Lighthouse Keepers (the former a mentioned in the second song below). I think Barnett’s lyrics are clever and witty. And I enjoy her lackadaisical delivery.

Yes, thank you. There’s a rather good live version of it too on YouTube.
I’m fond of this gentler song too. I particularly like the reference to having name badges with question marks on them

Stumbled across these guys first EP early last year and can't believe the quality of the musicianship and vocals. 

"The Harlem Gospel Travelers are not from Harlem. They came to Harlem, however, from far-flung corners of the five boroughs of New York City, and it was in Harlem, that legendary center of African-American culture, that they found their voices. As members of the music education program Gospel For Teens, these young men spent many hours on the subway or the bus to ultimately end up at an unassuming brownstone on W. 126th Street. They walked through the red door at the parlor level, the one with the cross on it, and inside they found a world of music. Gospel music.

As their teacher, my job was less to impart information, and more to show these talented young men what they already knew. They already knew how to sing, that much was obvious, but it was here that they learned what their voices could really do and how to use them. We listened to the music of the masters: The Soul Stirrers, The Swan Silvertones, The Violinaires and The Swanee Quintet, and these young men, really boys at the time, soaked it all in.

They quickly moved from imitation to creation, writing their own songs and building original arrangements of traditional material from the ground up. They honed and tightened their harmonies. They learned when to shout and when to whisper. What you have before you is the distillation of all their hard work -- the first full-length album from The Harlem Gospel Travelers
