Love this simple, straightforward black and white photo. Makes me want to play.

Classic Prog Rock from Hungary

It's been a long time since I featured any organ music, but here is a classic piece of prog rock from 1969 with lovely wailing organ. However, it's a piece that you may not be familiar with because it comes from Hungary. This is "Gyöngyhajú lány" by a band called Omega.

Forro Mashups

Here's an interesting new thing I've recently come across. There seems to be a growing fad for creating forro mash-ups of modern pop songs. A cursory look at YouTube reveals songs by Britney, Rihanna, Akon even Guns & Roses get the treatment!

Most of them are fairly terrible, but some are brilliant. My favourite is this mash-up of Gnarls Barkely's Crazy. I'd love a high quality MP3 of this.

Also quite nice is this version of Sean Kingston's 'Beautiful Girls'.


As a footnote, this forro version of the Yves LaRock's house music anthem 'Rise Up' is rather good too. An MP3 of this would be great, but all I can find are the original mixes.
