yes, they are.

I was waiting for a sunnier mood to hit me to upload this one :)

<3

it's been a while for me, dear Y., since the TFG was last about music discovery and the right mood at the right time

благодаря ти.
:)

Yes, sweet Teddy - the picture indeed!
You know I'm a devoted fan of yours :)

the picture...

Frightened Rabbit cover. Любима песен от Sing the Greys! :)

Отворих прозореца, за да кажа колко е красива песента.
Песента е красива. Всичко е красиво и сега съм неспособен да работя.

Обичам те по вежда, по коса, препирам се за теб по коридори
страшно бели, там се разиграват пръски светлина,
оспорвам те на всяко име и те изтръгвам нежно като
белег,
в косите ти полагам пепелта от мълния и лентите,
заспали във дъжда.
Не желая да имаш форма, да бъдеш точно
онова, което следва зад ръката ти,
тъй като водата, погледни водата и лъвовете,
когато се разтварят в захарта на баснята,
и жестовете, тази архитектура на нищото,
запалват лампичките си посред самата среща.
И всяко утре е дъска, върху която те измислям и рисувам,
готов да те изтрия, не си такава, нито с тази права
коса, с тази усмивка.
Търся цялостта ти, ръба на чашата, където виното е
и луна, и огледало,
търся онази линия, която кара някой мъж да затрепери
в галерията на музея.

Освен това - обичам те и има време, а е и студено.

Признавам си без бой :)

Напротив, точно за сутрин е. Иде ми да си легна на дивана и да си досанувам нещо трагично и епично

one of those songs i put on when "my average [mental performance/behaviour/neat and sweet good girl appearance] has taken a dip recently"

Чакам да кажеш кога ще ме черпиш. :)

сладурковчета, разчувствахте ме..

incredible pic..easy to fall in love :)

Ооо, Теди, Теди - Пастернак е един от десетте shortcut-а към моето отгледано в сибирския студ сърчице :)

"For a moment she rediscovered the purpose of her life. She was here on earth to grasp the meaning of its wild enchantment, and

to call each thing by its right name. By its right name."

Изпрати ми го, моля те.

haha :D yeah we do

тъй де, каквото noize рече. вече се обървам кой кой е.

Както се казва, "Oh Phuulease, girlfriend", аз заспивам с Bitter Earth от няколко месеца :)

one exquisite and undecided moment, in which all the pieces fell into place...

Funny, in a way - i got up, uploaded the In a Bar track that I replaced with The Roots yesterday, to have 'inter-channel synergy', glanced at what else is on today and ... mine and yours are nothing like each other. TWL have more than one mood to pull from their bag.

Ehaaaa...this song is soo mee! super post!

Wodehouse + MGG's drawings + Belle & Sebastian = my personal recipe for antidepressant medication

Таман щях да те попитам дали не е творение на Gublerland, но мернах подписа му! Дали си има близнак или клонинг някъде този човек? =\

а грешка... извинявам се за езика, реших, че това е поста на Пламен.. на теб Дани така не бих говорила :)

тва от мен го видя :p

that video...
put it in 'couch mode' and just left it on the desktop for the last hour.

good one :)

oh I love it! thanks :)

And I'm hoping that you will finish your monday with the same slow warm mood :)

Great band. I'm starting my monday with the slow warm mood

lovely, lovely!

Music saves me, music kills me...

i love this song, so chill!

KJ

If I hadn't been dumped for Bruce, twice, and if it had stopped reminding of Matt, and if I hadn't spent 3 whole days of my life listening through 18 albums of Springsteen, fervently trying to understand the mass appeal of a Jersey boy to an upstate New-Yorker, and what the hell this fascination of his with him is all about... I might have... I do like the song, it's just the emotional baggage I can't detach

ех, колко хубава музика има на този feelgood!

Mojito x \infty (или иначе казано - Viva Mojito в безкрайни количества!)

Mojito!

ben bir bülbül olsam ötsem bahçelerde
her türkümde yaksam adını üzerine
her sabah şakırım gülüm
gülüm ninna ni na nay...

ben bir martı olsam uçsam denizlere
rüzgarlara açsam giderim sehere
her kanadımı çarpışta,
gülüm ninna ne na nay...

I've uploaded this song two times already. Changed it. It just plays in my playlist at home.

rooocks!.. or rather.. jazzzess :)

ооо изглежда супер яко!!!

mmm it's tastier than my coffee and it goes down slowly, stops somewhere near to my heart and embraces warmly

Днес научих, че сафрид на английски е scad (Trachurus trachurus) ...I love you, I live you too :)

this one was coming :)

Пясъкът не го мисли - в краен случай ще изтръскаме палатките. Виж море на знам как ще донесем.

В нашата професионална сфера 12 часа на обяд е съвсем прилично време за първо питие, така че отвъртай шишето с мента. И може би е време да задвижим планираното плажно парти у нас за например 24 февруари. Само трябва да измислим от къде можем да намерим няколко чувала с приличен пясък, за да си направим истинска плажна ивица. Другото е лесно, все някакси ще набутам за едни ден всички мебелите в мазето :)

Добре, как очакваш да работя сега!?

А аз с първата си стипендия в училище си направих татус - пропаднала история съм си аз, ама хайде...
И тъй като с лекота мога да оглавя всяка класация по сантименталност, не мога да не те осведомя, че слушането на тази песен винаги ме връща под една зелена тента, където едно момиче със сламена шапка пробива съсредоточено с швейцарско ножче черупките на събраните миди, за да направи от тях красите си висулки и гердани :) Дам - тогава беше heeeeaven...

Купих този диск с първата си стипендия в училище. Благодаря, че ми го припомни :) Heeeeaven...

Romantic lovely.

Motown funky

padadadam.. mnogo sladko momichence

I know... you wanna make it, make it.... as a French Pimp...

гледам, че е от групичката на Doisneau и Brassaï, последният от които има голямо body of work специализиранo върху нощен париж или по-скоро бордеите на нощния париж през 20те... познай защо съм го рисърчвала :)

Така, така - трябва да поддържаме вече наложилите се визуални традиции в TFGI. От началото на седмицата "изучавам" Willy Ronis и неговата photography of the nude, та затова се стигна до тук :)

nai-nakraia i na tvoia kanal malko full-frontal nudity. to niama da e feelgood ako niama pone vednyj sedmichno.

mnogo mi haresva the quirky part

I'd like to do a top five records that make you feel nothing at all...

heeey, this is fuun!

yes, this is a road trip song. ama kym moreto ne kym rodopite :)

No, I don't mind at all :) People seem to enjoy my ramblings and self-loathing and pity and extreme mood swings. Please feel free to comment sometimes :D

How do you even know about it? Was it Teddy or Sways?

Are you reading my blog or something? Because that was really weird :)

"Reposter" - yep, this could be the new name of my channel. I like it.

Reposter!
but it's alright.

It is indeed all about moods :)

I just don't have a music taste. With me, it's always about moods.

Oh, the nerve...! of reuploading :)

so niceee and mellow..

That's my jam :)

I don't know what to do... I have principles. But I also know -every-... lets call it "note" .. of this track.
So, was the mountain in agreement with you? The sky big? The sound deep? The air breathable?
Speaking of bikes, I am uploading a *vroom* *vroom* track for Friday.

To save me the trouble of repeating comments:
http://petar-new.branch.thefeelgood.com/brainpicker/2009-08-08

Curiously enough, I think it might've been posted on a Monday as well. ;)

really nice lyrics.

The model loves you too :)

Oh, what a surprise!

this was one of the songs on that very first 10-track CD brainpicker gave me for my birthday two years ago, titled "Good things get better with time" that started my entire future obsessive never-ending love of covers.

(btw it's been posted before.. you know i have a duty to say it :))

абее ееей, вие наговорилили сте се днеска да ви е рап дей, а? а? *намръщ*

Ironic, isn't it? But I guess that must be what true love is all about. Besides, at the age of 12 I wasn't taller than Al.

Heey! He is one of the three basketball players, whose name I know... Well, second name at least.
You're taller than him, yeah?

Her whole album "Dreaming Through the Noise" sounds so peaceful and soothing.

this is so soft and lovely.

Ще слушкам.
You just say "Slap Teddy." and I'll ask "How silly?"

Че бандата е уникална - няма спор. Но концертът, който направиха в "Конюшните на царя" беше едно магическо, неподлежащо на описание once in a lifetime experience. Даже си мисля, че точно от онази нощ се започна възходящата ми линия през 2010 :)
А за банд-тишърите мога все още да уредя нещо, ако сте послушни.

аз ще довърша вместо теб:

".. имат много готини банд-тишъри. Жалко, че не ни познаваше тогава, за да ни донесеш."

Нали това щеше да казваш?

ех, тая банда..

:)

When you have a sister 10 years older that you, that's the kind of music you grow up with :)

haha.. i never listened to bryan adams :)

Belle du Berry, j'taime
Те престанаха да записват, но четох наскоро, че ще имат нов проект, дали под това или друго име... keep your ears open!

Oui, oui! I like so much (i wish i could say that in french too)

I got so excited someone used the lyrics feature. And what do i see? Sleeping wave. Oh well, maybe some other time. =)

Don't worry, I'm absolutely sure it's the sleeping wave.
I love pretty much all the songs, that you post, that's why I never comment them. Words are useless. Keep walking/posting :)

I like your smooth jazz wave. Sorry I posted that as lyrics, still sleeping or might be my very own dumb wave

:) - and this goes for your "a best of your month", not for the insulting interpretation...

My grievances put aside - a best of your month. I am a Chris Botti devotee of sorts.
I'll go with the most obvious interpretation... that you plan ona young boy toy to lock in your mansion some time in the next 20 years... and all would envy.

you stole this out of context, you thief!

Yo, Brooklyn, that girl's wantin' to take us back to school...
Now watchwe gonna do?

Pff. We got more than our money's worth... except with respect for the food, which actually cost money.

Ah, sorry for letting you down, but yes -"chick" is a characteristic that has nothing to do with me.

good.
I was like, Yavora's a cool chick, but then I met you and ... ;)
Just one deadly sin? You're selling yourself short.
I have a book on homecooked music you can borrow. Unfortunately, doesn't guarantee you international fame and money or your money back, promise.

It's respekt to ME!!!! I've decided to go back to my own music.( hm, the sentence "my own music" always reminds me of Ross Gellar and his techno experiments)
You see, pride is my deadly sin...
If I continue stealing someone's music, it will no longer be my channel.

is not exactly a song to fit me, but it's such a trip.
i'm in love with the chorus.
respekt! to you or, you know, a certain facebook page.

Me, I'm flattened, tossed around, a little helpless, maybe breathe a little shallow but then I always bounce back to an ego trip. If it's in them, I say, some of it has to, just has to be in me too.

That's a license to spam, if I've ever seen one.. but I'm all spammed out...
And really, Mammy.?! Is irresponsible sleep patterns something you want me to take away from knowing you..? I was told my eyes are bloodshot with lack of sleep today...
Look at that picture, Brooklyn. Don't you miss Alex?!

Mammy is quite busy today kids and has not been able to sleep in the four days, so be nice. In a few hours, I'll pay attention to you all and probably be able to give you some extra information about not-all-yellow and zefi.

... I think you should just listen and take notes.
And hope Y. will be willing to give them notes after waking to a spambox.

btw, why am i not known as funky brooklyn? it seems natural. work on it, sways.

I know, it would've been uncanny, if you were known as Funky Brooklyn. You're not, however, which is why the event was probably cancelled.
Yes.. sadly, not a joke.

and it opens with no other but "Brooklyn Funk Essentials".. you know what i mean :)

relax, guys, i love it the morest. :)

AND BTW!! Sofia Live Club season opens today! :)) I think we might have a better place for out meet-up. :)

I love it more.. wait, what?

love it

It's her voice. It can sound childish and chipper (really, singing this?); when she utilizes her pipes, it's a little hoarse from trying and half-sincere; and lastly, I can't hear any past hurt in it, which makes all the difference between her version and this one.
I'd be so jealous of these eyes.. I've embraced mine as deep, soulful and brown, but most days, that's wishful thinking - you might as well call them brownish and short-sighted...

I'm doing my best to avoid reposts, but I guess it's pretty much impossible.
Didn't like Cyndi's version, I don't know why.
In high school, I had a friend with exactly the same gorgeous-stormy-eyes. This song indeed reminds me of her.

This is a repost. Which is alright - I've totally missed it the first time around.
I feel corny for liking it, since I know Cyndi's version pretty well but I can't help it. Beautiful cover, striking photo.

Feeling's still fresh with me from when I did it...
Music filling up the living room, spilling into the antreroom and washing over me under the shower, the acoustics are pretty great.
This too, by the way.

ahh.. this is now dance-certified! It should get like 20 faves... where are all the people?!

i like, i like, i like.

Oh, yes, yes, yes! Catch me if you can :)
And don't blame me - after all, you had the chance to post it first...

NO! NO!

Infectious stuff and how I actually move through life.

So how was lunch?
Tell me tomorrow, I'd be dying to know what you think of my song.

I'll see her today, at our lunch hour, and I'll ask if she's interested in TFGI meet up.

Your girl, not-all-yellow, is also around, yeah?

teodora.zareva@gmail.com - moje li da mi pishesh za da ti imam maila i da moga da koordiniram neshtata po-lesno? :)

Currently - yes :)

let's have a meet up! do you live in sofia?

Swimming at night in a sea full of shining plankton, then laying naked in the silky sand, watching the starry sky and listening Beniamino Gigli's Nessun Dorma - yes, summer '10 didn't let me down.
I'm looking forward to hear your opera discoveries :)

Welcome back, Y.
I've been feeling too self-conscious to post any opera or full blown concerto recordings with your being gone.
Hope it was pretty darn nice, your vacation.

Soak up the sun, etc., Y., I'm just three days behind you.

Very aptly named! I was going to try and sound witty by going on about how I felt I should go Oi-exclamation!!! but wikipedia told me I'm late to the joke.
New to me, really like it, thanks.

i'm in agreement.

I like Cibelle because she is an artist to her fingertips - so raw, unique and difficult to classify. I highly appreciate types of music that make you wonder "Is this genius or crap?"

This is strange for me.
The guitar plucking is lulling, the vocal.. hardly so.

I only courtesy fave for a day or two, then unheart. The rest I like for all the right reasons - mine.

How nice of you to say that :)
I've always thought it was courtesy that forced you to faved most of my songs.

Max Richter - I'll put him in my Friday music list.

That was just my way of saying "very nice, wish it had been me".

Max Richter has released a new album. You'll enjoy it. Promise.

Oh, please don't worry! Since I've learnt how sensitive you are about reposts, I'm always checking your channel and only then I dare to upload my music.

I was ready to go "AHA! Repost." and worse, one of mine... only a search showed me I haven't ...

A year and some months ago I was all over my film-score gems compilation, this being one of my favs.

a. български детски песнички .. I was made to learn and then paraded in front of family friends, where I'd shout them out at the top of my then considerable voice.
б. my little cousin playing the piano.
в. my parents' cassette recorder belching out Bulgarian and Russian 'естрада'
And of course, the "Ну, Погоди!" Theme Song!
Don't hold those against me .. I came to music late.

Yeah, sure...
By the way, I'm burning with curiosity - what is your first memory of music?

Aha!
It was Alla Pugachova, wasn't it? ;)

That's not nice... I do this all the time. I give feelgooders music tips just in case there's a chance they can discover it for themselves and post it here before me..
It's like calling dibs..
the 35 sec. I heard are real nice, but I'll commit the crime of cutting it short and dash out in a hurry.

OK, then in order to demonstrate how really nice and generous person am I, my advice is you to check Sally Seltman and her "Dream about changing". It's so far my favourite song of summer 2010.

See, that's what the TFG is all about for me - a catchy tune and an artist so new, she doesn't have her wikipedia page yet...
How rare is that?!
Even if I imagine I know the music from before and I've heard this vocal's sister, it doesn't make it any less exciting.. and every once in a while, a genius blindsides you!

I can never really summon the enthusiasm to get on the inspirational sayings train, you know...
But I am buddy-buddy with stubbornly keeping at it despite results so I get ya.
Is nice .. I share in your joy.

ЙЕС!I have finally succeeded. Jacob A. Riis was right: "When nothing seems to help, I go to look at a stone-cutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before"

ЙЕС!I have finally succeeded. Jacob A. Riis was right: "When nothing seems to help, I go to look at a stone-cutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before"

I wish I could!!! I've been trying all morning to upload the whole version, but the end result is still the same...
That's too bad because my favourite part of the song - "Yes, you are my earth and you make me give birth to melodies and thoughtsenliven by your love. I am a global villager but you give me home" - is now missing

Reggae jams and summer days are implied together and I really want to fave this.. so would you upload the whole song?

it's unfortunate this does not have greater exposure...
Your not being surprised when you get bent over has some good бъзик potential in it... payback for Z****i.

never thought there are any bad feeling. i actually very much appreciate the fact it's a song dedicated to me :)

Ops, this is what happens when you change your upload in the very last minute - you tottaly miss out some of the lyrics...
Sorry T., hope you didn't take exception at this. Really,no bad feelings

i won't be surprised when i get bent over. i promise.

haha... a chance to punk T. missed...

Oh please... when I played chess back in the day, I did so very vocally... I took a queue from my mum's backgammon etiquette, complete with thrash talk and bragging rights.
I only listed fishing as a viable vitamin D source. Now's the time to get your sushi on, Y., in quarter of a century most of the oceans' supply will have been fished out.

We were lucky enough to enjoy a short rain break. Our polite host tooks us on a gentle canoeing expedition.
Fishing? For real? I can't imagine that there exist a woman who loves fishing. If you're looking for an occupation that allows you to stay silent for a long time, choose chess.

Niiice, you got a wink and from the bassist too - exactly your kind of poison. Concert crowds do create their own kind of electricity, no...
I now feel as if my life is stagnant.
Vitamin D on a lake shore? Fishing? Tripping on mushrooms? Or just plain old soaking up the sun? So it wasn't a rainy weekend for you after all.

Oh, The Nicest Boy Alive...
Marcin Öz(their bassist) gave me a wink and asked me if he could take a chair from our table - yes, I think I can call that the highlight of my life :)
Seriously, it was one of those rare, absolutely perfect nights in your life - cool people, crazy mood, great songs.
And the next day This Bitter Earth / On The Nature Of Daylight sounded pretty amazing on the sunny lakeshore, where I was getting my daily dosage of vitamin D

I have this problem where I can't listen to songs I know so well, I can sing along to...
Even the good ones.
Same with movies.
Luckily, not same with books.
So it's good music, but new music for me. I guess my channel is aptly named.
A week ago, I was accused of acting far too familiar with tfg-ooders, like we're friends or something. By presumption, weird. But since I don't know better - Whitest boy & blonde road trip: had the time of your life?

I've no observations - I'm blonde-blind.
Me and Shakespeare both like it dark and I can't miss an excuse to put myself in the same sentence with him.

If I survive the Whitest Boy Alive concert and in particular the act of my blonde girls singing loudly and euphorically at the time...
You know, life is so much more sophisticated when you're a brunet

Best of Rhodopite to you...

I'm sure the organizers are in agreement, which is why you'll be there solely as a consumer, not a cooking enthusiast / accidental pyromaniac (if the latter, you might want to stop by for the pyro-show at the closing of the festival).
Since cats are by nature very tidy, graceful diners and you grew up with one, bystanders should be safe of stains and such.
I learnt table etiquette from my feline... not to say I always lick my plates clean, but when I do, I'm very thorough...

I'm afraid there are too many trees in the Borisova garden and that could be a problem cause my cooking adventures very often ended up with burning kitchen curtains. Public safety comes first, which means I should keep my hands off frying pans, spatulas, etc.

To the rescue - QUI ITALIA - one week (starting today) 'mini-festival' for the Italophiles in the audience.
Normally, I'd suggest you go for the music, but in this case, maybe you should make the culinary booth your first stop...

By the way, dude, I am sorry, but you just don't cut it as a commercial poster.
This is commercial - thefeelgood.com/Pumpal/music
You've to put in at least half a year of music before I we peg you.
Too much work to do to take breaks so get on it.. (or this place will be a graveyard)

I've been making some headway through Gershwin's music lately - at that chapter of my book, see :)

The music aside, though, I think I enjoy the lyrics on this one the most. Must've caused countless of knowing smiles!

so very easy...

wow!! thank you! :):)

Well, Perlman's recordings made a major contribution to my academic degrees, so it was about time to pay him honours here

Madam, I jumped for the fave upon seeing Perlman's name!

:))))It's a great photo. It was on my desktop for about a month. I just love it!

..the song is beautiful :):)
(i saw the photo and in the first time, for a second, i didn't recognize myself)

It seems designed just for that purpose - when the wall of sound and the vocal climb to the highest point 'round the 2 minute mark, either of those alone would cause me to press myself firmly to whatever surface is available and search for something to grab to onto.

Bad luck indeed!I was in two minds whether to upload this classy, lovely Lauryn or the funny, "hip-hop-tropica-bossa nova-reggae-merengue-funk-lounge-electronica" DJ Bitman.

Been holding onto "The Miseducation..." for a few weeks now, as a back-up upload album for the day when I don't have new music to fall for... beaten to the punch once again.

The Feel Good Initiative: A source of inspirational music and ART...
and lately, I haven't see you getting your hands dirty with either, Peter!

hey, hey! this is a music site, not a book reading club!

The closest I've come to Marquez is reading Llosa... who punched him in the face... I made a lengthy pause in my reading which lasted from mid teens till a few years ago and its end coincided with firing MTV as my definitive musical guru.
There's a lot of catching up to be do.
Your description fits the two Rushdie books I've already read, which is a very good thing 'in my book;. I'll work "Shame" into my reading budget. The goal is a library of 500 good books before kids come - scientists say mixing kids and books produces a very, very potent result - breezing through school and bonus personality points.
As for Katie, she peaks with her "oooooh-oooh-oooohs" on the well-paced first and last tracks and in between those two, alternates weird arrangements and lyrics with great vocal moments.
The chorus on track#2, The Flood, is short, but Kate Bush-esque-ly impressive!

I might not be quite competent when it comes to music, but books are my speciality. And "Shame" is great - humour, self-irony, history,some of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's magical realism...
Good luck with Katie.I'm on Fiona Apple today. I think I'll find my perfect upload for tomorrow very soon

Is it any good, by which I mean -very- good?
I took a break after reading Midnight's Children & The Moor's Last Sigh in quick succession.
"The House" (Melua, 2010) begins well... with a homicidal love confession and an eerie oooh-ohh-oooh-ooooooh..

HA-HA-HA! You know, that's kind of creepy..."Shame" by Salman Rushdie is the book I'm reading just now :)

Shame on you, Y.... I had scheduled my listening to her new album for this afternoon and posting a track from it now would make me a copy-cat!
I do so like her crooning...

phantom of the opera!

Now that is a story seeped to the neck in local Balkan colour. Oh, how I wish I had been present to witness it first hand and feel in equal measures sympathy, shame, това-да-ни-е-за урок удивление and a timid sense of 'really, what else could've we expected'.

Too bad the mayor's PR team didn't step in at the last moment to sprinkle some heartfelt regret and pinch of dark-humour on that otherwise 'splendid' piece of oration. Fail!

Still, considering Bulgaria, I thing worse thinks have happed.
Just label it a fine piece of modern day folklore and file away as a captivating anecdote to be retold and crack a few smiles, which, I guess, you did.

Thanks for the story :)

Тъй като днес очевидно частта от моя мозък, която отговаря за чуждоезиковите ми способности упорито отказва да ми се подчинява, ще карам по българо-мързеливия начин :) Пък и честно казано, ако преведа думите "побратимявам" и "хале", голяма част от колоритността на историята за "Ла Скала" ще се изгуби...
Та, преди две година Филхармоничният оркестър на “Ла Скала" трябваше да свири на Античния театър като част от празненствата по случай побратимяването на Пловдив и Милано. За програмата на концерта бяха подбрани уникално приятни музикални творби, които в България се изпълняват рядко (да не кажа изобщо). Всичко беше идеално измислено - мястото, обстановката (Старият град), месеца (септември). Вече бях готова да направя поредната отметка в бележника с "must"- do- things-before-you-die". В деня на концерта обаче времето изведнъж се развали и тъй като в Пловдив няма нормална концертна зала с нужния капацитет, преместиха събитието в палата номер 2 на Панаира. А тя представляваше празно, разпадащо се хале с наредени нагъсто дървени столове и едва скалъпена в последния момент сцена... Все още не мога да забравя физиономиите на музикантите, когато видяха при какви условия ще трябва да свирят. Коментарите им ще ги спестя, защото достигнаха до мен по нечестен начин - посредством подслушване зад кулисите :) Доста се забавляваха и когато чуха превода на високопарната приветствената реч на на кмета, в която се казваше, че - "Пловдив е културната столица на България."

For every "off" day, there's an "on" one.
Or you can do what I do - go for volume and you're deemed to get a 'hit' eventually. Teddy & I are campaigning for an "edit" button, cause god-awful writing in my posts keeps me up at night.
The Plovdiv classical or even musical scene is alien to me. What's the story with La Scala? Kaludi Kaludov & Friends? I'll look it up.

I just adore my writting today.So glad I come up with new words like "happed", or "thing"(k) ... and btw now I see that my grammar is excellent too.

I couldn't agree more about the National Opera, although I thing Wagner could be a serious test for some not-so-regular opera visitors.
I have something else in mind - International Music Festival The Ancient Theatre Plovdiv`2010 Opening - „KALUDI KALUDOV AND FRIENDS". Yes, I don't expect it to be a high-class music event, but I just appreciate what this man is trying to do with Plovdiv and its cultural life. I still can't forget what happed to the poor La Scala Philharmonic Orchestra when they performed there...Shame, shame, shame

Since I can't resist a comment opportunity:
Dog owners and Labradors are, by nature, extrovert. You might not be able to keep this promise once the pup comes.
As for the opera, you have your pick this month, as the national one is going for the popular vote, staging Carmen, The Magic Flute and Rheingold... or there's my cousin's performance @ Carnegie Hall.. not that I'm bragging or anything.. but I am!

What can I say except - I promise I'll always be your introvert hater.You know that my online behaviour has nothing to do with my real personality.That's more - I guarantee I'll still make your new friends feel uncomfortable around me when I visit your lovely parties.

I fav-ed the song not because I am a sophisticated music lover (you know how superficial I am), but because I AM crossing my fingers. And I found cute how extrovert of you this three sentences seem!

While on today's (and tomorrow's) subject:
My copy of "The Rest Is Noise" by Alex Ross is, in a world where I bend the corners of books I read to note down something I should look more into later, terribly bent out of shape.
It's a riveting read, except for when you take a break and go check some music online! Have a read, I think you'll like it.

Right on track.. my plan was to go back home at 13:00, cue the rain outside and some soft concerto inside and nap for two hours on the couch! Haven't done it since '06, but the weather commands..!

I am quite sure that being upset about a sporting event is how one gets licensed as a man...
Shared accounts? Scandalous! I feel the victim in a movie plotted around a split personality disorder.

Or... I just use my sister's photos and name to post some staff here, without being ashamed of my sensibility.
Thing about it - a month ago I was truly upset because.. of a basketball game???
Who knows, may be after all my man-card is in danger :)

and while you're still getting your girl on, self-promotion...

Yes, uhh... It happens to the best of us, except in your case, there's noone to threaten to take your man-card away!

I'm big on female vocalists, so obviously she and I are friends (in my mind) but I really dig that extra flavour the sitar & percussion bring.

¡Perdóname!

oh, sharing... 1998.. 1998... i was probably still in diapers and didn't know music existed. or sweethearts....

Uh-huh, yeah, totally. It comes in from one ear and comes out of the other...
I did find something to grieve over, however. That's a real cool scarf you got there, Y. Brooklyn's got herself a cool scarf as well. I'm like the only one on TFG who doesn't.

Nooooo, it's not just sportS. It is THE SPORT - basketball !!!
You know - NBA playoffs, where everything can happen...
Unfortunately, for the Bulls last night, only bad things happened :(

Is this.. like... sports? Dude, it's sports!
I was so ready to grieve with you but there should've been a kitten or something, at the very least.

:) Glad you like it ! Actually I never thought that a soundtrack could represent so amazingly well the spirit of one of my favourite books "Brideshead Revisited"

When I read the name, I was afraid you meant somewhat deep-voiced, but thankfully he's 'just' a composer and this is a good good track to have as your sound-alike.

good one!

Е мое, вы ребята откуда родом? =)

repost

I get that, dear!
Don't worry - you're still one of my favorite feel-gooders:)

I was just.. kidding?

Sorry :(
I promise it won't happen again...
Please don't hate me :)

Sorry :(
I promise it won't happen again...
Please don't hate me :)

Posting a grammy-nominated multiple-dance-awards-holder mass-appeal-genre track, that's like... cheating! ;)

Klimt.

Аз трябва да ти задам този въпрос:)
Citizen Cope навлязоха трайно в моя живот още през 2005-та, когато ги чух за пръв път в саундрака на "Coach Carter"

Хехей, къде намери Citizen Cope?

Let's hope not :) If I happen to be around by that time,I don't know which side I'll choose. I love "What Else Is There" sooo muuuch...

Aww... if Royksopp met Telepopmusic on the street, there'd be a rumble.
