Six Degrees – (#6)

There are times that you feel so sad that only music can bring healing. You imagine yourself looking through a little window in a forest hut, icicles are melting outside and you can hear the tapping of the little silver droplets that glow in the morning sunlight as they fall. Suddenly in the midst of bleak autumn there is spring in your heart.

MUSIC VIDEOS

Dark Patrick – Glyn-yr-Aur

Eva and Paul (Dark Patrick) introduced us their music last week with “Leaving The Ice Kingdom” (watch it live here) a magic melody that made us to dream with other worlds and other times. Traditional roots and modern sounds are combined to perfection on every piece of music that this Ukrainian-English duo creates. Thank you Dark Patrick for your music. This is the only thing that I want to listen at this moment.

MUSIC/MP3

Theatre Royal – Powder Blue (Download)

Theatre Royal are releasing their second studio album “At the end of a river, the sea…” (The Preservation Society Presents, 5 November 2012) and to celebrate it they have the first cut from their album available for free download. The album opens with this song but it is full of excellent ones like “A Hundred Thousand Tears“, “The Story Of My Life” or “Will England Rain Itself Dry?. I hope you enjoy the music from this terrific band from Rochester. Me, I love it.

LIVE SESSIONS

De’Borah – A Thousand Tongues (Reservoir Rhythms by Solaris2)

The first impact that the listener could have with the music of De’Borah is like a shot of love that is going directly to your heart. I have no words to express it in a different way because this is how her voice and her music got into me the first time I listened to her. This is how she made me to feel about her work, absolutely in love with her music. The video was published on November 3rd and it is the the title track from her EP ‘A Thousand Tongues‘. This EP was produced by Patrick Wood (Emily and The Woods, Ryan Keen). De’Borah is a singer from South London and was awarded with the Croydon’s Best Unsigned Music Act in 2009.

La Shark – Magazine Cover (Live At The Albany)

La Shark music is surrealistic, psychedelic and grotesque. It is music and it is performance, like a big play of pop drama that you don’t know how it is going to finish. You hate it or you love it. I like it. Sometimes I love it and some times I hate it. So I guess that I am a perfect fan because I have all the feelings about them. This is the opening song from La Shark concert at The Albay on 14th April 2012 and published two days ago. Enjoy the band….or hate it 😉

SIX DEGREES: BACK ISSUES

mar

Hi, I'm Mar, a member of the Fresh On The Net team. I am a biologist, and I work at a research laboratory. I became interested in music as a child and studied Music Theory, Piano and Choral Singing for more than one decade. Although the circumstances steered me into Biology, I have never been cut off from the music. Since always I've had a predilection for Scottish, Irish folk, Breton and Galician music, but I have a large collection of world music. With my trips to Brazil I added from Bossa to Samba, Samba Reggae, Pagode, Sertanejo..., but above all, a wide range of current Brazilian rock musicians, entirely unknown in the international market. Hence, when I returned to Spain, and later moved to Los Angeles (California), I was bored by the monopolized commercial music that was on the radio. This, the gradual disappearance of good record stores and the possibilities offered by the Internet, sparked my curiosity for other forms of music and the independent music media. Following that path I founded “Jungle Indie Rock” with my best friend, a music blog where we have fun and we feature independent bands and artists. I still travel a lot, looking for new sites, sounds and rhythms. I currently live in Madrid and landed here in 2012 at Fresh On The Net :)

Great selection Mar.

I especially like the Theatre Royal track, however I should declare an interest as I saw them live about a month ago, and excellent they were too.

Enjoy your break, and I look forward to the Xmas selection… I just hope I don’t burn the xmas dinner whem I’m distracted by the 6 degrees music [edit: you won’t, because I’ll be cooking it as always! Mrs C]

hahaha, you are funny. In Spain we celebrate Chistmas eve, not Christmas dinner so I will be already back at home…probably a little bit fat 😉

I have never seen Theatre Royal live, and this is something peding for me. I like all their songs. I am sure that they have great gigs, I have seen some videos, look at this one (26′ long):

I’m an Aussie and I’ll be a long way from home at Xmas. This song,Radiate, while not particularly Christmassy, is about that .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AhTSpeg7Zk

Thank you! It is very beautiful. I save it for December 25. It is perfect for it. Being far from home at Christmas is a hard feeling. I understand you. Big hug for you Béla.
