It was a another grey morning in Vancouver, but things seem to be looking up. The Sun is trying its best to peek through the clouds and have a visit, so lets give it some encouragement by listening to some great music and hope the brave and valiant Sun kicks some evil raincloud ass and lets us go outside tonight.
When you find an album that spans every moment and perfectly backdrops your day to day, you’ve got something great. Here is a collection of albums we felt portrayed the very best of the year 2009.
We love cover songs here at Bluegrassish.com, so we’ve banded together to pick out a couple of songs each for you to enjoy. Also there is talk of a Bluegrassish Podcast being made. I personally am a avid podcast listener so this seems to be a good way to break into that media form. If you have an interest or suggestions for the podcast please do drop us a line.
Thanks!

The Music of Bright Black Morning Light could only be described as _Smoke__, and _Swimming.
While listening to the album Motion to Rejoin, my body was lifted into a placid tango. You could
Compare my experience to the wandering of the South American Spectacled Bear. The music is just so _spacey_ and joyful. Bright Black Morning Light comes from the town of __Orange__ _Eagle, where they made a great impact in the __psychedelic _ scene, playing soley to the __sleepy hipsters__ of the city.
Brightback Morning Light is best enjoyed with ____hollywood sized lines____ while ____jogging____ on your favourite ____treadmill____.
____Hologram Buffalo____ is my favourite, when its ____gleaming____ tones ____slip___ over me I can’t help but ____speak in tongues____. Their sound is simlar to ____boxing____ with ____Hunter S. Thompson___ on ____Mars___while a group of ____Wild Boars____ ____stampedes.____.
Bright Black Morning Light – Fry Bread
Bright Black Morning Light – Friend Of Time

The song is called “Prisencolinensinainciusol”. Written by the Italian artist Adriano Celentano in 1972. It sounds like the lyrics should be English but they are pure gibberish. I never heard non-English speaking people trying to emulate English. Its pretty cool.
This grew on me after watching it a couple times. Danceable!

ps. If anyone could handle too much LSD it would be James Tiberius Kirk.
This is Wild!
In 2006, a lady drew the face of a man for her psychiatrist, she apparently had been seeing him a lot in reoccurring dreams, and in more than one occasion gave her advice on personal problems. She swears that she had never met the man before in her life.
The psychiatrist forgets about the picture and it ends up sitting on his desk forgotten for a few days, until another patient recognizes the face as a man who he had often seen in his dreams. He also says he has never met the man in his life.
The psychiatrist decides to send the picture around to his colleagues to show to patients who have reoccurring dreams. Within a few months, four patients reported that they had also seen the man frequently in their dreams. All the patients refer to him as THIS MAN.
Three years later over 2000 people across the world have reported the same man making appearances in their dreams. As of now, no common traits can be linked between patients who have reported sightings. Also, no living man has been recognized as the man from the picture.
I absolutely love this story, it is the perfect amount of weird and creepy to get me obsessing over it. It would be amazing if we can find anyone we know who as also seen this man.
You can check out thisman.org for some more info and also check out the original drawings that some of the patients had made.

I don’t know a lot about this video so I will list the things I do know.
The lady’s name is Ksenia Simonova and she is from Ukraine.
As far as I know this video is from a Ukrainian talent show, and from what I gathered in the 15 minutes researching this, she won.
She draws with sand that is sitting on a back lit table.
That is all I know, enjoy.
