08/24 - With A Taste Of A Poison Paradise

A third and final Mustarinda list. As behoofs a playlist for the tail end of a long wonderful residency, it is composed of odd leftovers and melancholic farewells.

Polobi & the Gwo Ka Masters - Mendémélé   

Consider this the transition from last list's repetitive international folk and forest madness soundtrack. Last night I waded through woods submersed by a beaver dam til 2am. Mendémélé...

Marko Haavisto & Poutahaukat - Paha vaanii

We've been having Kaurismäki nights. No place it makes more sense to watch these brilliant, moving movies. Man, I love this country.

 

 

Jeff Russo ft. Lisa Hannigan - Toxic   

This cover is from the soundtrack to the latest (and best) season of Fargo, that I finished just before I arrived at Mustarinda. But Toxic has also been a bit of a recurring melody in the house.

 

 

North Sea Gas - Carrickfergus    

Final days of packing and finishing projects are always tinged with an undercurrent of emotional hurt. The correct time to listen to melodramatic Irish/Scottish ballads. 

For I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
Ah but I'm sick now my days are numbered
Come all ye young men and lay me down

Richard Dawson - The Tip of an Arrow

One of the stranger and more idiosyncratic songs to be released in the 2020s. But I've listend to it so many times now that it makes perfect sense. That epic ending is how we ride out from here!
