Hey I have multiple mixes ready to go, we can switch order if you want and then you can relax and release for March. Just let me know.
Thanks. Well, it shouldn't take long here. Of course, I ran out of ink on the printer at the same time. I should be able to ship in a couple of days. Again... sorry for my delay.
Transmissions are the bane of civilization I tell ya.
Especially when you convert over to something totally different from what you've ran for over 46 years. The new 4L80E... The conversion is taking weeks I tells yous!

I've been here giving you guys a bad time about the procrastination thing. Well, I've joined that club also. I had it put together fairly well... but my work and trucks transmission have taken all my extra time that I though I had. I plan on getting it out. It might take me a few more days to wrap it up... it's coming soon! Sorry.

14. Ohh yea the commercial song; I thought of looking this song up too, now I don't have to so there.
Yeah, it's commercial studio work but the singer does reproduce this live (with a lot of sampling/looping, but still it's mostly her). Another of my favorite discoveries, and whoever is producing her videos is nailing it. This is one of the few music videos that appeal to me as a legitimate art form of its own, as opposed to a tv commercial for a band.
3. This was very cool, sounds northern possibly Eastern African maybe Somalian? I really am enjoying this.
Not completely sure which country, just know they're speaking French. Snipped from a video essay of the same title—this isn't a band or anything, just some guy singing.
4. Never could roll my rs; seriously r rollin situation at first sounded like it might even be South American, then as soon as the vocals started; Arabic, Lebanese? I am in a guessing mood. Lot of r rollin going on.
Yemeni Jewish sisters living in Israel. The song is about their parents being forced to leave Yemen as refugees. They did a Tiny Desk Concert at NPR that is really memorable. I really dig 'em, and I can't roll an R in a wheelbarrow.
7. This is almost 2 songs in one with that transition very Eastern European gypsy feel and then into a totally different tempo and with the horns almost sounded Jewish at times. Then kinda French jazz or something but over it all the chick has some great pipes. I bet she doesn't wear shoes, that is how you know you're onto something.
I think your numbering is off here—Amadeus Quartet is firmly in the western tradition. I think you mean Djelem Djelem, a Romani tune (known as the Romani national anthem) being performed by the Barcelona Gipsy Klezmer Orchestra, a combination of influences that's surprisingly harmonious. And in the video the singer is indeed barefoot, very astute observation!
Disc 2
5. White dresses and cows in a mist....again she is not wearing shoes......
Georgian trio that does their best work singing into a cell phone camera. They sometimes wear traditional Georgian costumes, sometimes western—here, see for yourself. And this shoe thing is gettin' kinda creepy...
6. I am a sucker for the pipes and since the pandemic, the pants wearing has gone way down so I am appropriately dressed to lift the pipes or at least a proper pint. Ahh the children can't go wrong with children, dogs, whistling and bells even the cow variety, wait that was the previous song. Who is this? What am I doing again?
You have got to see this video. Buckle up, it's charmingly weird. And in costume. And..weird.
8. Favorite song of this disc so far tho I probably could have done without the percussion, the pipes were doing alright on their own.
More kilts and bagpipes (this time Spanish) and a hurdy-gurdy thrown in for good measure. Kopanitsa is a Bulgarian folk dance and the musicians are doing a cross-cultural collaboration.
9. Ok this is roots; this is now my favorite so far. Didn't expect the throat singing in this one. She has a lovely voice. Bet she doesn't like shoes either.
Tatar folk music, one of my favorite discoveries on this wander. No clue on footwear, NTTAWT.
13. Ok we are back in the dirt or the back alley; somwhere in the Baltics I would imagine. Much like Gogol Bordello fronted by someone much less errr grating.
Would you believe a riverboat in Russia? Shot live. You can hear the other boats at times.

16. I didn't want to like this one, but the lawyers whispered in my ear that it was ok...so yea I can ride the rainbow.
Surprised me too., but then I love surprises.
17. Another for the no pants crowd....the electric no pants crowd..a lot of things moving all the time.
A Punjabi/Irish musician who relishes the overlap between her two cultures. Really cool to see Bhangra, Scottish, and Irish step dancing to the same tune. I loves me some cultural appropriation.
These disks started with me looking for one last tune to finish off a different disk. I was looking for a good version of Inisheer, an Irish waltz. I found one on YouTube, but YouTube uses your searches (and search and viewing history) to suggest other things you might like. And here was a song by Julie Fowlis, a Scottish singer who performs in Scots Gaelic (and gives interviews in it as well, she's trying to revive the language). And I found some I really liked. But YouTube wasn't done with me.
Did you know there was a bagpipe tradition in Latvia? YouTube did, and thought I might like it. It had all kinds of suggestions. I decided to see where that went.
Every time I found a tune I liked I checked the recommended videos for bands or tunes, and clicked the one least familiar. This went on pretty late that night.
The results are before you. The tunes are more-or-less in the order I found them. There were a few where the musicians were familiar but the tune (at least their version of it) wasn't. And it's my disk even if YouTube's algorithm had a lot to do with it, so I get to decide what goes on it.
The artwork for these was the lamest I've done I think, so I won't reproduce that here, just the tune lists. I've done my best to reproduce the spelling in languages I'm not familiar with. If you want to check these out where I found them they should be searchable—and some of these are well worth watching.

This is actually the first time I have even looked at song list posting this now.
Remember these are all real time comments without looking at the playlist. Sometimes I make later edits after looking to see if I made the right guess or not, but these are all first impressions.
Highlights for me:
Disc 1
1. Gaelic folk sound; I already look like someone who was in on the building of Stonehenge might as well close me eyes and raise a wooden mug to the Gods.
3. This was very cool, sounds northern possibly Eastern African maybe Somalian? I really am enjoying this.
4. Never could roll my rs; seriously r rollin situation at first sounded like it might even be South American, then as soon as the vocals started; Arabic, Lebanese? I am in a guessing mood. Lot of r rollin going on.
6. I love me some throat singing; my dog is not very fond of it, but that is probably tmi, everyone's a critic....
7. This is almost 2 songs in one with that transition very Eastern European gypsy feel and then into a totally different tempo and with the horns almost sounded Jewish at times. Then kinda French jazz or something but over it all the chick has some great pipes. I bet she doesn't wear shoes, that is how you know you're onto something.
9. Bulgarian Choir? I got a lot of their stuff when I'm feeling all Nosferatu and what not.
10. That is some serious muscianship there; got me through cropping a half o bag of green beans!
11. This has to be Northern Africa, again I see the barefoot ladies this time belly dancing, but all styles are welcome here at the Clusterdome.
12. Not as good as the original, but such a beautiful tune. Of course us South Carolinians usurp the shit out of this one.
13. Ok this is my favorite song of the mix so far, but I'm kinda in the same frame of mind as this chick so we just like there.
15. Sounds like Nick Waterhouse, Devendra Banhart and Pokey Lafarge. Pokey is that you? Yea its Pokey. Gotta be. This is a cool song, I gotta smoke something.
Disc 2
1. Get Smart in ska. I can take ska in small doses. Totally thinking of the ska dancer in the suit.
5. White dresses and cows in a mist....again she is not wearing shoes......
6. I am a sucker for the pipes and since the pandemic, the pants wearing has gone way down so I am appropriately dressed to lift the pipes or at least a proper pint. Ahh the children can't go wrong with children, dogs, whistling and bells even the cow variety, wait that was the previous song. Who is this? What am I doing again?

9. Ok this is roots; this is now my favorite so far. Didn't expect the throat singing in this one. She has a lovely voice. Bet she doesn't like shoes either.
10. This is the best throat singing I have heard so far.
11. Love the band, her voice just did not get along with me brain. Love the banjo, sometime you just got to hear a banjo.
13. Ok we are back in the dirt or the back alley; somwhere in the Baltics I would imagine. Much like Gogol Bordello fronted by someone much less errr grating.
14. Ohh yea the commercial song; I thought of looking this song up too, now I don't have to so there.
15. This lady can saang.
16. I didn't want to like this one, but the lawyers whispered in my ear that it was ok...so yea I can ride the rainbow.
17. Another for the no pants crowd....the electric no pants crowd..a lot of things moving all the time.
Nice little jaunt around the globe, now wunnit? We have learned many things, but first and foremost we have learned that life is hopefully more than a wee bit better when you are not wearing pants and shoes.

You better hurry. My "Now how about something totally different" is getting close to its final production. All I need to do is eliminate about 65 songs.
