Uncommon Ritual

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

10 years ago, Edgar Meyer, Béla Fleck, & Mike Marshall recorded an album called Uncommon Ritual, a beautiful recording taking three masters of music & fusing them into one incredible whole. Included here is a song called Sliding Down, which I hold true to be one of the most beautiful songs ever created. Listen in & let me know what you think…

I just read that one of my favorite new songs, LCD Soundsystem’s All My Friends, was covered by Franz Ferdinand. The result is magic. Check it out.

You can also hear a version by The Velvet Underground’s John Cale on myspace.com/dfarecords. These various covers will apparently be b-sides of the new single coming out next month.

So probably anyone reading this isn’t eligible, but it’ll be a fun exercise. The European Space Agency is having a contest for youngsters in Europe to submit a playlist of music. One will be selected for the astronauts to hear in space!

What would you put on a playlist for space travel?
