Godspeed You Black Emperor - The Dead Flag Blues

Godspeed You Black Emperor can create powerful music. Here is a heavy sample of that power. Here is their website: brainwashed.com/godspeed/ and here are their tour dates (very rare that they tour) for 2010 & 2011: Tour Dates Go see them. My friend saw multiple people weeping in the crowd when he saw them last and I'd say it's pretty impressive whenever live instrumental music makes people leak.

Tommy over @ Freedom Guerrilla dedicated his Oct. 14 blog entry to me

I am honored and humbled. I think this blog entry came to be in serendipitous ways. I had never contacted him before (only had been reading his blog for a year) but I was inspired to share a personal story with him which I was reminded of because of a video he had attached to his Oct. 13th bog entry. He then wrote his Oct. 14th entry containing the underlying theme of the story I had been inspired to share. The story is about someone close to me that died fighting the invisible voice he refers to. I think all the serendipity may have ended up helping a soul or two in need. That was my hope and after reading the comments I know it did have an impact. Tommy over at Freedom Guerrilla    is a sort of guru that can take a thought(s) and expand on and articulate that thought until it can be understood by those that need it most. Here is the entry: http://freedomguerrilla.com/uncategorized/the-gates-they-keep/

Rahsaan Roland Kirk clip on Nightmusic

Rahsaan Roland Kirk Live In London England

Rahsaan Roland Kirk was an absolute master and one of my favorite jazz musicians. He could circular breathe and play what seems an infinite amount of instruments at one time. This clip has the legendary jazz drummer Phil Seaman playing behind him. It is taken from a pretty cool French documentary called "Sound". Parts 1-3 of the doc are available on youtube. I have his 1972 performance at Montreux on VHS and it is a gem of a performance (he gets the crowd going absolutely mad at the end). I found a clip of that performance on youtube but the whole thing is much longer and much more entertaining. If no one else posts the entire thing I will post it on youtube eventually. It's too good to not share it.
