black bear
mp3: black bear- black bear [link expired]
i have had this song in almost constant rotation for a while now and have been looking for an excuse to post it. and now i have found one, with this video of black bear’s performance at a last.fm sponsored party in london last week. from the sound of all the chatter in the background it sounds like the audience didn’t show him much respect, so i will give him the respect he is due here. this song is amazing. the album it is taken from, the cinnamon phase, is equally amazing. if you haven’t done so already, pick it up. if you need some extra motivation, check out what mr. black bear himself has to say about it:
“‘The Cinnamon Phase’ is a highly personal and intimate record, and the booklet that comes with it, 16-pages of lyrics and photos and notes about the songs, is an integral part of the experience. Even the mailer that Baskerville Hill sends it in, is a joyful little package of hand-touched goodness in a world growing increasingly devoid of exciting, physical, mail.”
update: for some reason, the last.fm video embed code doesn’t seem to be working right. here’s the link to the video, until i figure it out.
