Yes, Sebald is an excellent writer, and Austerlitz is a masterpiece. I think you're right about experiencing new feelings while reading him. His way of viewing things is at once beautiful and sorrowful. And what a stylist.! Sentence by sentence and word by word, he has such great composition. My only complaint was that the novel didn't have a very strong ending, though I've pretty much forgiven that in light of all the other marvelous things in the book.

Hey, I vaguely remember our previous conversation(s). But, yes, I should be moving, though. 'Sup?

Hey Mokami! I've heard of Gissing, specifically associated with the novel you mentioned, but I have never read New Grub Street, nor anything else by him. Perhaps I will check him out soon. I do have a couple of recommendations. I recently read The Recognitions by William Gaddis which is a long novel (950 pages) about a master artist who struggles with originality and therefore spends much of his life creating forgeries of the Dutch Masters. It's somewhat hard to describe because it's about a multitude of other things, as well, and it features a bunch of characters. Also, the narrator jumps around and changes styles frequently. It was a tough read, but rewarding and deeply satisfying. Perhaps even more highly, I would recommend the works of W.G. Sebald, though I'm guessing you know about him already. Fantastic German writer. If you have't read his novel Austerlitz, you should. It may be the best novel I've read in the past 2-3 years.

You should start from The Trilogy: The Cloven Viscount - The Baron in the Trees - The Nonexistent Knight. And after this, the famous The Path to the Nest of Spiders...very sad, rich and beautiful :)

yeah iv'e only just really come across him, but the dude is pretty great!

wow you have one awesome library!

Hey you! Ah yes, Mr. Aznavour, he's my Elvis.

Yeah I heard there. I recommend something like this:http://grooveshark.com/#!/jangarbarek. Have a nice day :)

Yes, you're right, my favorite is "a love story" ..Thank you! also have very good lists! Coltrane, Satie, Baker! . Your name is French, what it means.

Hi! great, great, you?, How you doing? ... Cesária Évora <3

:)

Back with a Vengeance

ohh super duper compatibility friend!! add add! why no RHP???

Thank you, I only discovered his music yesterday, and am now an addict ",

Thanks so much! Glad to meet another Piazzolla fan. You have great taste as well! :)

Thank you! Your library is outstanding!

I have started listening to a Ryuichi Sakamoto station now because of you. Great stuff! Thanks for existing. :D

Thank you. :)

Merci pour votre visite et les mots gentils :). Greetings from North of France.

Sorry for the late response... I've recently got into Kimbra. Not so sure if she's considered mainstream yet :)

i love post rock music, it's very layered and little to no lyrics. It's a nice switch from alot of todays music, too many beats and lyrics. I feel like the sound captures more emotions with it's simplicity. Have you listened to them?

i have been a ry cooder fan for many years. glad to hear from you.

Leuk om te horen dat je het schilderij mooi vind , ik heb geen idee wie het heeft geschilderd , een onbekende kunstenaar neem ik aan ,.. ik zie dat je ook van goede muziek houd .. !!.. prettig weekend .. groeten uit Amsterdam ..

Hi, heb je gezien dat Calexico op 21 nov in Paradiso speelt? Vind jij ook een toffe band toch? Er zijn nog kaarten!

thanks! it appears we have very similar tastes :)

"Mokami’s Library 2,084 Artists in total" Holy shit lol

*waves with a smile*

OOOOOH! Mo! Wil je met mij mee naar een klassiek concert van Severin von Eckardstein, in maart in Gouda?....heel interessant persoon. Een baron, die sensitief pianospel neerzet...volgens mij is hier ook e.e.a. over te vinden! Hij was onlangs in het concertgebouw in Amsterdam, maar ik wist niemand die het ook zo zou kunnen waarderen. :)

Hi, I see you like films, check out these if you have not already. Not a bad indie type quirky movie to come out of the USA, called" Me and You and everyone We KNow". Its just exquisite. Also similar is The Year of the Dog. Ciao! Nancy

omg is that you on that picture? you look so old fashioned :o :p

That is indeed most shameful. Do you, like I, have a whole history of playing instruments and then giving up after about a week? Singing is far worse to express I think! If only we lived in a Tolkeinesque sound where singing was purely social and not... bone crushingly embarrassing. I've been working on some songs today, hence why I am spamming my track box, but I'm having trouble with double tracking (it's a pop track) and I am questioning my own musical ear, which I always assumed was alright.. I shall do some acapella covers of Ryoji Ikeda for you! 8D You should make with the piano more!

How that's awesome. I bought my girlfriend The Book of Tea a while back. She loved it. I have yet to read it. Right now I have about 1/4 left of The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann. Not sure if I'm madly in love with it, but it's thoughtful read in many ways. How is John Dos Passos? I have heard much about him. People used to read him a lot, but he fell off the literary radar recently.

Mr. Mokami. How's it going? Read anything profound lately? All the same, blessings to you, good sir.

Heeeey dearest Mo! How's work going? :D

In memoria futuri is an anthology of all the studio albums. The only other release is a live and demo cd that is only in the teichiku works set. I dunno how much you care but if you want any of the stuff in lossless let me know, same with Ringo

Also, I saw you don't have any Sanmon Gossip or Hesei Fuzoku plays of Shiina Ringo in your library, not your thing? SG really grew on me fast, became my favourite album by her which is very bizarre considering how hardcore fans usually spite it :-p

Well. I like everything including her side projects (which are as important as her solo work) so it's not that strange. Radar Man is very awesome, however it is originally a Halmens song (a band that she did guest vocals in, after the success of Tamahime Sama- they released an album called "Halmens Deluxe" Featuring Jun Togawa :-p", actually a fair few of them songs on Tamahime Sama can be heard in their original form on that album. However, my favorite song is Poesy, my plays may not indicate it much but it's because I've only recently transferred it from my vinyl of Shijin No Ie (only on LP) to PC. If you haven't tried them yet, go for her bands Yapoos' albums "Daitenshi no you ni" and "Dial Y For Yapoos". Try out Guernica eventually too, all their albums are pretty intense. Other than that theres a fair few side projects over the years too. I have everything now, after a spending a fortune and a lot of time of collecting :-p So yeah, if you need anything, again, let me know

Well, it really depends on what you want from her. If u want more of the same try suki suki daisuki. If u want more modern prog experimental stuff go for togawa fiction. If u need help finding stuff pm me

Thanks! I don't get to do any singing very often, because I'm too scared of the idea of letting people hear me. I don't mind when it's a finished recording (as long as I don't have to be in the same rome when it's played back) because I know I'm happy with it. Do you do music at all? Goodness, yes, huge :| I have 'Metastasis; Pithoprakta; Eonta' I do like cellos, I'll have a look at that today :3 Metastasis sounds like the soundtrack to a nightmare. It's awesome, or else I wouldn't go back and listen to it. Ooo, I remember the kitten song from long ago! I remember hearing it about 4 years ago, but I never extended my listen beyond that. 'Sad Guitar'? I'll take a listen to that too :3

Yes! Him and his strange music! Oh dear, this is a stressful question, for I shall be judged on my answer D:. I'm rather in love with Iannis Xenakis at the moment, though he has some truly terrifying music, (check out metastasis. I discovered it 2 years ago and I'm still to scared to finish it...) but I love it. At the other end of the scale, Park Bom, but I recommend you stay away from her if I am to come out of this seeming like a learned music person. How about you?

But of course =] How have you been?

Haha, arguably, yes! I hated him when I first heard him. My dad used to play him in the car (and also improv jazz in the morning). And like most of his music, it has taken me a few years to appreciate xD
