ipod shuffle treated me to surprisingly awesome background music for a walk to BTC last week. being pretty new to the whole ipod gig, i havent tried out shuffle too often. i try to listen to complete albums as often as possible to get a feel for how a band's music works within the context that they pieced together. also, i've been listening to a lot of poetry as i walk/bus about the town. i like to hear george oppen or ted berrigan talk about their cities as i walk around mine. with these tiny little quirks in my listening habits, it made hearing a great playlist all that much more affecting. just to note, the ethiopiques contribute to half of my music collection, so it comes up quite a bit. that's a good thing because i havent listened to most of the songs from the 12 or so odd albums that i have. and here it is...
'track' - artist (album)
'mela mela' - seyfu yohannes (the very best of the ethiopiques)
'yebeqagnal' - girma beyene (ethiopiques 08: swinging addis '69-'74)
'the fox in the snow' - belle & sebastian (if you're feeling sinister)
'kulun mankwalesh' - mahmoud ahmed (ethiopiques 06: almaz - mahmoud ahmed 1973)
'come back baby' - fred neil (echoes of my mind: best of '63-'71)
'tchero adari ngen' - alemayehu eshete (ethiopiques 05: tigrigna music)
'7 variations on Bei Mannern Welche Liebe Fuhlen..." - beethoven (the five cello sonatas)
'feqer feqer new' - alemayehu eshete (ethiopiques: alemayehu eshete)
