Thelonious Monk

ahead of its time, and still ahead of the present

Nicolas Jaar feat. Scout LaRue – With Just One Glance (20120)

57821 -Janelle Monáe feat. Deep Cotton (2010)

From the album The ArchAndroid, debut studio album of American recording artist Janelle Monáe, released May 18, 2010 (wiki).

She's also featured on the currently popular track We are Young by Fun. I really need to pay more attention to these things!

I came across Janelle Monáe's music from searching about Metropolis. You can see the influence from the album cover, and the rest of the album is inspired by it too. Word of the day: Afrofuturism!

Antony and the Johnsons - Cut the World -2012

Hauntingly beautiful and disturbing, dissonant yet graceful.

**

for so long i've obeyed that feminine decree
i've always contained your desire to hurt me

but when will i turn and cut the world?

my eyes are coral, absorbing your dreams
my heart is a record of dangerous scenes
my skin is a surface to push to extremes

but when will i turn and cut the world?

THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLYーDon't kiss me goodbye by Ultra Orange ＆ Emmanuelle

I turn around since too much time

Those railroad tracks

Will swallow my mind

I try so hard to stop wasting my life

If only I could just make you mine

Pulling Our Weight-The Radio Dept. (2003)

Many miles from where I’m sleeping

You share laughter in the evening

As do I, in the great divine

Yours is mine

We’ll find love

The kind we’re dreaming of

and I'm going to see The Radio Dept. with Twiggy at Zouk in April.
