Olivier Messian – Quartet for the End of Time

My first idea for today was to go with something from the soundtrack of the film Glory, but I ran into trouble finding a live performance.

So instead I give you Quatuor pour la fin du temps by French pianist and composer Olivier Messiaen. He composed this piece while he was at a German POW camp during World War II, and the unusual combination of instruments is due to being imprisoned with several other musicians--who played clarinet, violin, and cello. The piece had its premiere in January 1941 in the Stalag VIII-A camp, with an audience of about 400 prisoners and German guards.

Les Savy Fav – “Legendary Tippers”

Inches by Les Savy Fav is one of my comfort albums. For 20 years it's been on near constant rotation. I never got into anything else they did as much as that one, and figured they were a band lost to time. Imagine my surprise when I found out they were putting out a new album this year (OUI, LSF). Now multiply that surprise numerous times when I tell you that it's nearly as good as Inches. Highly recommended! "There's a stairway to heaven, but they'll let you slide to hell."

Allie X – “Black Eye”

Hey sorry this is so late! I promise the rest of these will be at more normal hours this week.

Life is relentless, but Allie X has been one of many of the salves that have helped me through this year. And this album (Girl With No Face) kind of flew under the radar, which is unfortunate because it is incredibly good.
