How crazy is my taste in music (at least right now)? 🙂 There is a bit of the 1960s, a bit of some übercool folksy progrockmetal, and a dash of Bosnian canzona.

The English rock band Muse released their fifth album The Resistance in September 2009. I remember that I was pretty impressed with the most of the songs from the album.
I just found a piece of paper with apparently my grading of every song from The Resistance. Five stars is the highest mark. The album as a whole scored 4.27/5. No too bad.

By the way, why villains always have the best soundtracks? But what is interesting to me is that the theme reminds me more of a soundtrack for a dramatic sequence of a WWII movie than a space fantasy movie.

I like these guys from Afenginn. They played in Vejle last night, so I took my Mrs. to their concert. They are great musicians and they bland Balkan, klezmer, avant-prog with Scandinavian sounds.

A baš nekako u to vrijeme objavili su drugi album “The Great Radio Controversy” na kojem se nalazila balada Paradise, koja je uvijek imala posebno mjesto u mom srcu zbog melodičnosti i vrlo dirljivog teksta. Sâm bend nisam nešto pretjerano pratio, brat Elvis ih je više gotivio, ali sam ovu pjesmu, između ostalih, uvijek volio poslušati. Ovaj put u akustičnoj verziji.

A morali smo doći na koncert, jer su na sceni bili meni izrazito dragi bh. muzičari Damir Imamović i Emir Bošnjak. Obojica su virtuozi na svojim poljima, Damir na polju istraživanja i tumačenja bosanskog sevdaha, a Emir na harmonici. Ovaj put to nije bio klasičan koncert, nego semestarski koncert studenata Jutlandskog Muzičkog Konzervatorija (Det jyske Musikkonservatorium) koje predvodi Bošnjak, a Imamović je bio specijalni gost večeri.

This song West Coast by Lana Del Rey is just wonderful. Usually I am listening to progressive metal, and sometimes some of the classical music, but I really like this song. I have listened to other Lana’s songs, but they did not affect me in any way, but West Coast is so atmospheric and filled with melancholy. I wrote it many times before, but I like melancholic stuff, and this song has it along with the rhythm change and steady pace. This is probably one of the best songs I have heard this year.
