Some mellow covers for a gloomy Monday...  =)

First, a sibling duo we have featured before – this is The Macarons Project.  Ree (Hubertine Paramagita) & Dito (Eduardus Pradipto) from Indonesia, now living in Vancouver, Canada.  They’re covering Bizarre Love Triangle, originally by New Order. 

Next up, 阿丹 Dan Hsueh (薛詒丹) covering a song by Swedish singer/songwriter Snoh Aalegra (See her original HERE)

This unit is going by the name JUST TAKE 5: Dan Hsueh-voc, 小畢 Wico Weng (翁光煒)-gtr, 小陳 陳彥丞 Devlin Chen-drums, 曹瑋 Marcus Tsao-bass, S.K. (郭俊麟 Chun-lin Kuo)-Keys.  I think this cover was something they did while being assembled for a recording project/live rehearsals. (You can watch Just Take 5 playing a Dan Hsueh original song at Dan’s YT channel.)

By the way, Snoh Aalegra is on tumblr @snoh-diary

Finally, let’s check out a Mandarin version of Bizarre Love Triangle recorded by HK singer 林憶蓮 Sandy Lam in 2006. (Lyrics by 周耀輝 Yiu Fai Chow)

A couple of jazzy tunes to end the week...

The instrumental single Rain from bassist Richie Goods & vibraphonist 魯千千 (Chien Chien Lu) was released in December, and the clip above is from the release show. The band for the performance is a bit different than the recording, and features a soaring vocal from Jonathan Hoard-Voc.

Richie Goods-Bass, Quintin Zoto-Gtr, Miki Hayama-Keys, Allan Mednard-Drums. Richie & Chien Chien play together in a few different ensembles.

The song is credited to Brian Alexander Morgan and Jaco Pastorius. [from Wikipedia: "Rain" is a 1997 single released by the group SWV. The musical backing track is based on *Jaco Pastorius's "Portrait of Tracy."] Jaco Pastorius was the bassist for the legendary band Weather Report.
