Alhamdulillah for YouTube. Sometimes you'll be a bit bored at home, on the internet, listening to random songs, and you'll come across an absolute gem, from a band or singer you've never heard of, who you'll then obsess over for the next fortnight (or even longer). Here are three tracks that I've happened to stumble across on the dusty road of procrastination.
1. Claudia - Deixa Eu Dizer
This song is sampled on Marcelo D2 - Desabafo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGgrb2-x70g), a great tune in it's own right, and the YouTube vid which linked me to this classic Brazilian rhythm. Tranquilissimo.
2. CYNE - Paradise
I loved this song from the minute I heard it, and still listen to it a lot, one year on. CYNE are a hip-hop collective from Florida, and for some reason not very well known, even though almost all of their stuff is amazing. If you like this then check out some of their other stuff, such as - Haze, Arrow of God, Feather (ft. Nujabes), Soapbox, Pretty Apollo.
3. Buddy Guy - Stone Crazy
I was looking at Jimi Hendrix videos when I came across this on YouTube, then later downloaded it from the Rolling Stone Magazine 100 greatest guitar songs. Face your speakers outside, then sit on a big chair in your garden and listen to this whilst smoking a pipe; you will be happy.
