An absolutely riveting performance in a river (!!!) by Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Hermeto Pascoal and group. Voices, bottles, flutes and the river itself are used to make a trance-inducing piece of music. Miles Davis, on whose Live-Evil record Pascoal played, famously said of him, “the most impressive musician in the world.”

A TED talk in which mycologist Paul Stamets studies the mycelium — and lists 6 ways that this astonishing fungus can help save the world.

Jozef Van Wissem on swan neck baroque lute playing “Amor Fati (Love is a Religion)” from his Ex Patris LP on Important Records. Performed at Augustijnenklooster, Ghent in July 2009. Beautiful and haunting pacing.

Las Grecas lip syncing to the deep grooves of their Te estoy amando locamente on some television show. Dancing in a half sexy, half awkward manner, and those matching outfits! The entire album is wonderful, thanks to L’il Meggy for the turn on.

An aviary of zebra finches play mesmerizing electric guitar music in this documentation of Céleste Boursier-Mougenot’s installation for The Barbican in London. Haunting and beautiful.

Jay Reatard’s version of Nirvana’s “Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle”. Posted yesterday on Pitchfork , from an upcoming In Utero tribute LP. Really, a blazing cover of probably my favorite song from that record.
