I'd like to nominate Origa this week, with her album "Era of Queens".
http://images.wikia.com/lyricwiki/im..._Of_Queens.jpg She is a Russian singer who has worked extensively in Japan. I find her to be very relaxing and a bit spiritual. I'm not sure if she really qualifies as FAIR, because her songs do ten to be a bit electronic in nature, but she sings in various languages and does have a unique sound. Here are a couple of my favorite tracks: Enjoy! |

Thanks, miss p ! To judge from what you say, and the album cover, I think your choice is going to provide us with a slight change of diet from our usual fare. Well, I´m always ready for a bit of extra sugar or salt ! I´m happy to see you posting again. You seemed to go quiet for a while, at the same time that the demonstrations in Instanbul were hitting the headlines. I was beginning to wonder if you were affected by them at all ... |
I went back to Maine for a visit home, but when I came back the protests were raging indeed!
I posted about my experience over at the Turkey thread. :) It seems to have blown over now, but people are very, very unhappy. |
Time to put up the balloons, cut the cake and sing Happy Birthday again, because the FAIR club has now been running for two years. Because the club only attracts a few people, there´s space to mention everyone who has contributed an album nomination this year:-
Roll of Honour:- stephen - without your consistent enthusiasm I probably would´ve closed the club by now, so many thanks for your support and the great music you have introduced us to. frownland - hoping you haven´t abandoned us. My apologies if some of your nominations have received limited attention in the polls; I still feel that we are special buddies because we listen to exactly the same two-for-one Beefheart cd ! misspoptart - most promising newcomer, deserves credit for not only exploring strange music, but exploring strange countries too. She wins the crown for Miss FAIR Club 2013 - although you haven´t yet submitted a video of yourself belly-dancing to gypsy music, Miss P. What are you waiting for ?? cenotaph, joy circumcision and Sir Cactoos nominated one album each this year. Facts and Figures:- We looked at a total of 18 albums, of which the stand-outs were:- First Place: Tempest scored 18 points. Second Place: Agadaz, nominated by stephen, scored 8 points. Equal Third: Red Hash (from Poor Ol´Po), Kef, and Niyaz (from misspoptart) all scored 5 points each. Bottom of the Barrel: Worst scoring album was Pianoriental, which I have to own up to, and which got a score of minus one. (Scores go like this: an excellent vote=2 points, good=1, OK=0, disappointing=-1, awful=-2) |

Thanks Lisna! I happily accept the crown! *curtsy*
As for the gypsy belly dancing...welllllll, I may or may not be able to arrange it for the club. Happy Birthday, FAIR club! I hope you stay for ever, because I love you all! |

In case anyone´s been wondering, the FAIR club has missed a couple of poll cycles recently, but it isn´t necessarily dead.
It´s been quiet for a variety of reasons - the chief one being a lack of input from MB members. Well, you are what you is, and the FAIR club has always been a minority-interest thread inside a minority-interest forum. Nevertheless, I prefer to think of it as being dormant rather than dead, like one of those desert plants that only needs a drop of rain to burst into life again. I haven´t put up a poll for a while as I´ve been busy myself at work but I might try opening one more poll on Sept 21 just to see how things pan out. ´Til then, Lisna. |
