I was going through some old files on my computer the other day and I came across the art for a mix called “Hope Is A Mood More Than A Color”. I don’t remember making this mix but I do remember listening to it in the car.

I have racked my brain trying to remember the circumstances of putting together this mix and I can’t. Oh well, because the title and mood of the mix certainly seemed like they would be appropriate for the current coronavirus social distancing experiment. So, no matter where you currently find yourself on the social distancing scale, enjoy some music:

Dirty Three's Lyrical Instrumentals

An Australian instrumental trio that’s not Silver Ray. You didn’t think I’d be able to post about Silver Ray without posting about Dirty Three today, did you? And this doesn’t even mention The Necks.

Dirty Three is one of my all-time favorite bands and consists of Jim White (drums), Mick Turner (guitar), and Warren Ellis (violin). Don’t let this sparse lineup fool you, the group plays huge instrumental pieces drowning lyricism.


Here’s the group’s 2012 Tiny Desk Concert.

Here’s the group performing “Distant Shore” in 1998.
