Galaxy Playlist for January 16th, 2006

Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).

For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic , an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.

Ravi Shankar -w- Ustad Alla Rakha (tabla), Prodyot Sen (bass tampura), Sunil Kumar Banerjee (treble tampura)	Homage to Mahatma Gandhi: Raga Mohan Kauns	Indian, Classical	Music India, 1990	The piece is said to have been written on the spot during a radio broadcast in 1948, days after Gandi's assasination. There are multiple recording dates to be found of this song, and it is difficult to pin down when this particular performance was recorded. Tablaist Alla Rakha is considered to be among the great tabla players, and one of the more influential musicians in India.
Dick Gaughan (words by Robert Burns)	Now Westlin Winds	Celtic, traditional Scottish	Green Linnet, 1981	Robert Burns birthday, a national holiday in Scotland, is January 25th. As we will unfortunately be tied up in Mozartean excess, I thought we might do a little Robert Burns here. If I had thought of this earlier, I would have done more Robert Burns. But I will try to take care of that for next year.
Battlefield Band	The Presbyterian Hornpipe/The Watchmaker's Daughter/The Hurricane	Celtic, traditional Scottish, hornpipe/strathsprey/jig melody	Temple, 1998
Clannad	Siúil a Rúin	Celtic, traditional Irish music	Shanachie, 1976
Deftones	If Only Tonight We Could Sleep	Rock, Metal	Maverick, 2005	The first song is a cover of a Cure song from 1988 that the 'Tones performed (and recorded) live at a Cure tribute on MTV2 (or maybe MTVEurope) last year. This is an excellent rendition of this song, and was released as part of the B Sides and Rarities compilation. This compilation also includes a dvd that has an excellent video for Root, compiled from live clips.
