BSWC 11.4.06: Hats off to Starfrosch!

That's right, hats off to Starfrosch. It has been about a year since I hipped to what these guys were doing in Bern. I posted their tune Starguitar to CC365 this morning and felt good about it all day. So here is a show that says, "Thank You, Starfrosch!"

As always, if you are reading this sometime between 9 and 11 pm Eastern (-5 Greenwich) on Saturday night you can listen to our stream.

From Bern, Switzerland, It's Starfrosch!

As mentioned previously, this is my week for posting CC music at CC:365.org. Here is Day 308:

"I don't completely understand what they are doing over there in Bern, Switzerland with this Starfrosch concept, but that has not kept me from entirely enjoying what they do. It's a podcast, a web 2.0 net community, a Creative Commons music site...you name it, it seems like they have it going on...

Here is something that I stumbled on while putting together tonight's Black Sweater, White Cat. (This song made it into Set #4). I tend to like tunes that include a touch of the electronic along with that organic guitar sound. Yesterday's Day 307-Seiji Toda-Clock Works had that going for it as well.

Here is how the Starfroschers describe what they do and this release, da schau her, on archive.org:

starfrosch is a collective from bern (.ch) bringing us a
surprisingly popesque and very playful release.

in addition starfrosch is also a platform for podcasting, netaudio-news, networking and a gamecenter. according to douglas adams "hitchhikers guide to the galaxy", frogstar world b is the planet which plans the restaurant at the end of the universe.

that's where we all would like to go, to hear jeannie casey (voc) and carina schilling (voc) unfold their voices, and sing themself into the souls of the listeners. while christoph geissbühler (piano), markus koller (laptop), adriano schneider (guitar) and daniel schärer (bass) are concentrating on groove and harmony during their recording sessions. those guys don't talk about musical biographies, but instead feel like they were born with their instruments and play. and their tonal diversity is best reflected in the music.


It is great, they are great.

P.S. If you are reading this sometime between 9 and 11 pm Eastern (-5 Greenwich) on Saturday night you can listen to the WBCR-LP stream and hear BSWC unfold live.

Day 307 over at CC:365

I'm simply going nuts over Seiji Toda's tune, Clock Works. I just posted this over at CC:365. I'll be posting there all week.

"Clock Works appeared on two Black Sweater, White Cat playlists during the month of October. I'm completely in love with this song. If you happen on this page and don't subscribe to the CC:365 feed you owe it to yourself to click and download this song. But, what the hell, subscribe and take full advantage of the CC:365 experience.

According to Podshower.com-Japanese Music Podcast, this is Mr. Toda's second solo release. This song is on a release called There She Goes. His first release was "Hello World" ten years ago.

Podshower has this to say about Mr. Toda and his work:

Famous for being a modernist, the unique Lyricism that lingers from his work for some reason makes one cry. His Latest work along with his sophisticated song-writing is symbolic with the melodic electronica scene of Europe. If there is a music folklore of the computer world in the first half of 21st century, his work will be the one, Masterpiece. In attendance will be extravagant musicians such as Yasuyuki Shimizu(Sax), Keiichi Suzuki(whistler), Saeko Suzuki(Dr. Chorus).


There is also a fantastic little video of the song available at YouTube.com.

This song posted by Biotic and I approve of this message.

P.S. Now it is back to Podshower.com to see what other joy they have for me..."

Oh yes! Yes! This is fantastic, couldn't wait for my turn on cc365.org -- this I love. Off of the humble (yet prolific and wonderfully entertaining) birdsong.co.ul. The whole album is great, download it, enjoy it.

This one features "her highness" who I've always thought was great. Thank you Beatmapper and her highness.

BSWC Podex #009: The Random Becomes Deliberate

The inspiration for this Podcast Extra comes from a random playlist generated by Itunes while I was working on migrating files to a new computer. I had loaded about 350 CC songs into a virgin Itunes Library and was listening when this bit of shuffle magic happened.

Music in this Podex includes Le groove de decembre by SpatzAttack, Truc 04 by Xcyril and Regim Liquid by Regim Liquid. All tracks are available at Jamendo.com.
