Arcade Fire
A mí siempre me había gustado mucho "Neighborhood #3":
Pero he redescubierto "Wake Up":
Gracias al trailer de ésta película:
Dirigida por Spike Jonze (Cómo ser John Malkovitch), está basada en el clásico libro infantil ‘Where The Wild Things Are’, obra del escritor e ilustrador neoyorquino Maurice Sendak.

Björk
De nuevo, una joya del programa de Jools Holland. Björk nos emociona con un "So Broken" desgarrador, acompañada a la guitarra por Raimundo Amador. Por momentos parece que reinterpreta el flamenco...
REM
Adoro las versiones acústicas. En este caso, Nightswimming de REM en el programa de Jools Holland.
Amy Winehouse
Youtube y el programa de Jools Holland son una fuente inagotable de sorpresas. Aquí tenemos a Amy Winehouse el año 2005, antes de las pelucas...

Little Boots
Aquí tenemos a Little Boots, en directo en el programa de Jools Holland. Me gusta mucho más esta versión que la del disco. Demuestra que con pocos elementos y mucho talento es posible crear maravillas así:

Melody Gardot
La historia de esta mujer es escalofriante:
"The story of vocalist Melody Gardot is as remarkable as any who perseveres against abject adversity. Born in New Jersey in 1985, she took up piano and played as a youngster on the nightclub scene of Philadelphia, influenced by jazz, folk, rock and pop musics. At age 19 she was a fashion student at the Community College of Philadelphia. But, on a fateful day, while riding her bicycle, the driver of a Jeep made an illegal turn, hurdling into Gardot and leaving her in the street for dead. Hospitalized for months with multiple head injuries and pelvic fractures, her love for music was the best therapy she could receive. While in her hospital bed, she wrote and recorded songs that would become the EP Some Lessons. Upon her eventual release from intensive care, Gardot found the strength and determination to further her career as an artist. Blessed with a beautiful voice and grand insight as a songwriter, her cognitive powers slowly but surely became pronounced, leading to the independent recording and release of her debut CD, Worrisome Heart, which was reissued in 2007 by Verve records. Her music could be described as a cross between Laura Nyro, Joni Mitchell, Eva Cassidy, and Shania Twain, but goes deeper than mere pop convention. Gardot is hypersensitive to light and noise, thus she wears dark glasses, and uses a cane to walk. On-stage she requires a special seating unit, and wears a Transcutaneous Electro-Nerve Stimulator, a TENS device, to assist in alleviating her neuralgic muscle pain. As amazing as her story is, what is more evident is that she possesses a blue style and persona that reflects not only her afflictions, but conversely the hope and joy of making personalized music that marks her as an individual and original. Though touring is difficult, she has been performing in major cities on the East Coast to support her recordings. In 2009, working with producer Larry Klein and arranger Vince Mendoza — both known for their work with Joni Mitchell — Gardot followed up her Verve debut with My One and Only Thrill. ~ Michael G.
