Happy Friday!
- Coke Studio is one of the most remarkable things in my music world and it has been for years. Javed Bashir's traditional folk qawwali and that lute (I think it's a lute?) in Yaad are just amazing. Also, people like to demonize modern pop for being simplistic for the sake of being catchy (i.e. memorable). But I could say the same about traditional qawwalis and bhajans.
- I found this amazing UK band that specializes in Swing. This cover of Lorde's Royals is one of the most classic, white things I've seen or heard. It's great.
- And lastly, according to the first comment, this Game of Thrones cover on a Sitar is "really thrilling and cosmic". It's a pretty accurate review, I think.
