Casual Listening
a review of cool new music
by Jeff Pinzino
Casual Listening Wins 5 Grammys
While the Grammy voters are notorious for choosing star power over musical integrity, the down-ballot categories tend to be a reasonable benchmark for how much quality and diversity of music you can find on Casual Listening. The following grammy winners had garnered a starred review or better here when they were first released:
Best Regional Mexican Album: Vicente Fernandez – Necesito de Ti
Best
Best
Best Contemporary World Music Album: Bela Fleck – Throw Down Your Heart
Best Musical Album for Children: Ziggy Marley – Family Time
Anyone can turn you on to Beyonce, but Vicente Fernandez? That’s what we’re here for.
! Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba – I Speak Fula (world)
How do you say “guitar god” in Fula? The ngoni is an ancestor of the banjo native to
Listen to Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba “Musow (For Our Women)”
! Bela Fleck – Throw Down Your Heart:
A welcome companion to last year’s must-hear world music album. This and the first should be considered a complete set, with volume 2 containing more music from the movie, more field recordings, and more studio tracks from the African voyage of the world’s most versatile banjoist. More mind-opening, world-shrinking, jaw-dropping musical collaborations.
Listen to Bela Fleck “Salam Aleikum” available only at his website here.
* Emanuel Ax, Yo-Yo Ma, & Itzhak Perlman – Mendelssohn Piano Trios (classical)
While I’m not expert enough on Mendelssohn to do this recording justice, it’s worth checking out just to hear three of the most accomplished musicians of our age playing together. The second trio in particular has some exquisite moments.
Listen to “II – Andante Espressivo” from Piano Trio No. 2
Kasper Fredhom Groove Syndrome – Naked Brunch (jazz)
Wicked jazz-funk that’d be at home on the shelf next to Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters. Electric organ, sax, guitar, drums, and smoky female vocals put the band in the shades-at-midnight coolness league.
Listen to Kasper Fredhom Groove Syndrome “Naked Brunch”
Akai – The Coldest Hour (Is Just Before Dawn) (rock)
Sprinkle your ipod with fairy dust. Gossamer pop-rock with piano, glockenspiel, and reverb-heavy harmonies. Tight, sweet tunes hold the package together.
Listen to Akai “Satellite”

China and Russia put the blame on some screwed up experiments of US for the earthquake that happened in Haiti.
Chinese and Russian Military scientists, these reports say, are concurring with Canadian researcher, and former Asia-Pacific Bureau Chief of Forbes Magazine, Benjamin Fulford, who in a very disturbing video released from his Japanese offices to the American public, details how the United States attacked China by the firing of a 90 Million Volt Shockwave from the Americans High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facilities in Alaska
If we can recollect a previous news when US blamed Russia for the earthquake in Georgio. What do you guys think? Is it really possible to create an earthquake by humans?
I came across this [url=http://universalages.com/hot-news/what-happened-in-haiti-is-it-related-to-haarp/]article about Haiti Earthquake[/url] in some blog it seems very interesting, but conspiracy theories have always been there.
