Howdy, friends! Tons of music this week! More! Exclamation! Marks! Alrighty, let's go. Awesome Arabic sound via a fantastic bandcamp/daily focus on Nawa Recordings: 👍 Alif 👍 a.k.a. "what Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” might sound like if Robert Plant and Jimmy Page actually knew Arabic music", and Khyam Allami. Then, the incoming Tricky, Sylvan Esso for catchy feminine vocals + gooood beats that remind a bit of The Do, strong Amanda Fucking Palmer is strong in her piano version of Theatre is Evil, the psych-black of Oranssi Pazuzu, and more touring the world with Radiohead live, this week in Denmark.
