2 x THROWBACK THURSDAY

Touching base with a couple of tracks from yesterday in honor of

#ThrowbackThursday, beginning with Israeli singing songwriter

& musician

:: ASAF AVIDAN ::

whose other claim to fame is being the founding member of folk

rock band // Asaf Avidan & the Mojos // as we listen to the title

track from his album // Different Pulses // released in 2012. The

MV holds the key to unraveling the mystery & I can't find the

lock it fits. There is a disconnection between the lyrics and the

enchanting dip into childhood, complete with roving countryside

& a best friend forever, which means until you move town, or meet

a similar spark of misadventure. Asaf's high pitched vocals add

perfectly disguised passion, like a secret held back that we

somehow understand. With some kind of continuity that may not

be immediately obvious, I introduce you to the electro dance band

:: THYLACINE ::

a stage name adopted, in 2012, by saxophonist // William Rezé // who

decided to lend wings to his creativity by exploring all things electronic

influenced by groups such as Moderat & Massive Attack, collaborating

closely with music producer // Laetitia Bely //, as we check out // No
Mic Stand // off the debut EP // Intuitive // released December 20, 2012,

featuring the vocals of singer // Camille Després //. The video is suitably

one thing, then another, but if there is a single message, it's be yourself.

It's better to die happy doing something you enjoyed, than live for an

eternity miserable, but don't knock it. Misery is good company. I think

I've got off track. I didn't mean that pun. Seriously, Eric? I'm going now.
