Dead Like Me: Life After Death (Metisse - boom boom ba)
This is a wonderful song featured in the movie Dead Like Me: Life After Death.
Lyrics taken from the Matisse myspace page (thanks grampam17):
Boom boom bâ
A boom boom bâ, (x4) Kélé, fila, saba, nani, norou
A boom boom bâ, Can you hear my heart beat in this world A boom boom bâ, Do you know that behind all these words A boom boom bâ, Lies a deep desire Kamélé hé ! A boom boom bâ, Mé kouman mé fora y bamê
Are my dreams to be all I can do ? Lay o lay above, lay o lay below And he said Annie will show them a new way Mé kouman mé fora y bamê
Kélé, filla, saba, nani, norou
A boom boom bâ, Can you hear my heart beat in this world A boom boom bâ, Do you know that behind all these words A boom boom bâ, Lies a deep desire Kamélé hé ! A boom boom bâ, Mé kouman mé fora y bamê

I had only recently heard about this performance and now finally listened, and watched. Nothing short of amazing. RIP Aretha Franklin and thank you. This is WHY Aretha Franklin will be so missed. (if she never did anything else this would be enough)

Watch Shimon the marimba-playing robot play along to jazz, reggae, and hip hop
Shimon is a marbima-playing robot with some real soul. This crazy little robot, created by Gil Weinberg at the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology, can listen to the other players around it and play out little ditties in response to the music. In short, it’s the world’s best jazz and hip hop collaborator because, unlike humans, Shimon can never get drunk and forget the van keys back at that Taco Bell in Fresno.
“Most of what Shimon is playing is generated using a new process where he creates hundreds of melodies off line based on deep learning analysis of large musical data sets,” said Weinberg. “Then us humans (me and my students) choose melodies we like and orchestrate / structure them into songs. It’s a new form of robot-human collaboration, at least for us.”
In this video Shimon and crew jam along to Dash Smith, an Atlanta-based rapper who freestyles. You’ll also notice another Georgia Tech product, a robotic drumming prosthesis that gives the drummer the power of four Neil Perts.
Weinberg, Shimon’s human, is excited by the new developments.
“Still under development is the other new element – we are working letting Shimon analyze in real time the rhythm, melodies and semantic meaning of the free style rapper lyrics and use this analysis to drive Shimon’s improvisation. As you know we have explored mostly improvised music, starting with drum circles moving to Jazz, rock jam-bands, and African marimba bands,” said Weinberg. “We are now ready to move to the next frontier of real time collaborative improvisation – free style rapping, where the hope is that the rapper will be influenced by what Shimon is coming up with and vice versa.”

Joni Mitchell - Woodstock (Live In-Studio 1970)Happy 75th Birthday Joni Mitchell: Performing Live Through The DecadesNov 7, 20182:15 pm PSTAndy Kahn
Roberta Joan Anderson was born on this date in 1943 in Fort Macleod located in the Canadian province of Alberta. Better known as the talented singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, the 75-year-old began her career performing in coffee houses and folk clubs in the mid-1960s. In the decades since, Mitchell carved out a remarkable and influential collection of albums and live performances, placing her firmly alongside the most important musicians of her generation.
The Music Center in Los Angeles hosted a concert last night, and will again tonight, presenting an all-star collection of musicians celebrating Mitchell’s outstanding body of work. The JONI 75: A Birthday Celebration events feature performances by Emmylou Harris, Graham Nash, Kris Kristofferson, Chaka Khan, Diana Krall, Los Lobos, Norah Jones, Rufus Wainwright, Seal and Glen Hansard.
As the JONI 75 concerts prove, many of Mitchell’s songs resonate strongly when performed live. Below is a collection of videos of Mitchell performing in front of audiences in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990, 2000s and 2010s. The evolution of Mitchell’s sound – from folk to jazz, to rock and beyond – is on display in the archival footage. Joni can be seen performing “Woodstock” just days after writing the song in response to the historic 1969 music festival. She’s backed by legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius and others on her well-known favorite “Coyote” in 1979. Mitchell goes solo for “Big Yellow Taxi” in 1984 and is accompanied by several jazz greats on “Sex Kills” from 1994. Renowned pianist Herbie Hancock joins a performance of “River” from 2008 and the set concludes with “Furry Sings The Blues” from a tribute concert in Toronto in 2013.

The words being repeated in this mantra is the thousands of year old Indian Sanskrit language. The translation in to English = “May well-being, peace, wholeness and tranquillity, happiness and prosperity be achieved by all”

Not sure why I didn't include this song earlier. I guess I only think about it during Christmas and then forget about it until next time. Nothing short of an amazing performance from a guy with a remarkable voice (almost like a male Linda Ronstadt).

The Man Who Photographed His Future DeathsDec 11, 2018 | 703 videos Video by Joshua Seftel via Smartypants Pictures
Phillip Toledano’s obsession with death began with a DNA test. When his father was diagnosed with terminal dementia, the elder Toledano came to live with his son, who would care for him during his harrowing, drawn-out final days. This got Toledano, a photographer, thinking about his own mortality. When, and how, would he die? He purchased a mail-order DNA test to try to find some answers. Like the average person’s results, his contained moderate risk factors for various diseases and conditions.
Eventually, Toledano’s father passed away. Soon after, Toledano ran into a friend from college, Joshua Seftel, who had also just lost his dad. “Phil talked about this new ‘mortality’ project he was thinking about doing with psychics and prosthetics,” Seftel told The Atlantic. “I’m sure it resonated with me in part because I was grappling with a lot of the same things Phil was dealing with. So I asked him if I could film his process.”
At the time, neither Seftel nor Toledano could imagine that the “painstaking” process, as the filmmaker described it, would go on for three long years. During that time, Toledano would don elaborate prosthetics, step onto vivid sets, and photograph himself “experiencing” fantasies of his own future demise—dozens of times over. As shown in Seftel and Smartypants Pictures’ short documentary, The Many Sad Fates of Mr. Toledano, the photographer transformed himself into a homeless man, an obese man, a criminal, a stroke victim, and a man who has just committed suicide, among other morbid projections. The process took a psychological toll on him.
“When he first told me he was doing this thing, I said, ‘Oh my god, can’t you just see a therapist like a normal person?’” Toledano’s wife, Clara, said in the film.
Seftel, observing the tension the project was causing between Toledano and his wife, said he began to wonder if Toledano could complete his journey without damaging or destroying his marriage. What kind of commitment does an artist have to make for his work to succeed? Seftel remembered asking himself while his friend labored to stage the graphic photographs. Could healing come from creating these photos, or was it a destructive act?
In the film, Toledano explains that the impetus for the project was to expunge his bleak obsession by facing it head-on. “Life is so full of right angles,” he said. “There are so many possibilities ahead of you, and you just have no sense of what they’re like. I want to be honest to the unpredictability of life … I’ve got to do the things that frighten me the most for this project to work the best.”
When the project was finally complete, Seftel admitted that he was “surprised and fascinated” by the resulting photographs—and, particularly, by the impact the process had on Toledano, who seemed better able to live in the present.
“I can’t help think that it might be good to stare at our greatest fears—to study our darkest possible futures,” Seftel said. “After all, if we’re going to worry about our fate, why not take a peek at exactly what we’re worried about?”

"I Wait" by Gaelynn Lea, performed with Dave Mehling at Café OTO in LondonTiny Desk Family Hour: Gaelynn Leawww.npr.org/2019/03/06/700853825/tiny-desk-family-hour-gaelynn-lea
If you're going to put together the first-ever Tiny Desk Family Hour — an epic night of Tiny Desk-style concerts, held at the wonderful Central Presbyterian Church in Austin during SXSW Tuesday night — you might as well kick things off with a core member of the Tiny Desk Family. Gaelynn Lea won 2016's second annual Tiny Desk Contest with the barest of ingredients: a few swooping violin strokes, a loop pedal and her fragile-but-forceful voice.
At the Tiny Desk Family Hour, Lea performed in that same spare configuration. She closed with a powerful song called "I'll Wait," which addresses the way people with disabilities — Lea herself has brittle bone disease, and works as a motivational speaker and teacher as well as a musician — are frequently left out of social justice movements. It's Lea at her best, as her warm, intense, hauntingly beautiful voice is shot through with a clear sense of purpose.
The crowd, many of whom had stood for two hours or more as lines looped around the block, clearly got what they'd been waiting for: When Lea brought "I'll Wait" to an abrupt close, the audience's soft collective gasp gave way to the night's first standing ovation.
