Continuing in the spirit of sharing great music that doesn’t have any lyrics, I’ve got some killer songs with this update. TheSixtyone has been satisfying my every music need recently (outside of La Blogotheque which is spectacular, check out this performance by Sigur Ros) and several friends have gotten hooked on “Good Luck at the Gunfight” which I shared in this electronica picks post, claiming that it makes great driving music. I agree actually… My favorite driving songs from them right now are Kimberly and Malibu, listen here. I’m also sending a shout out for a shirt they sent me with the picture below, my experience with gunfights has been marginal at best.

So back to the music at hand, Ronald Jenkees has been killing it again with his new song Guitar Sound. As a guitar player myself, the song is moving and more of a story than most of what I usually hear or play. It sort of meanders and builds and then changes almost completely towards the end. This song is an adventure and anyone who hasn’t seen or heard of Ronald needs to check out this YouTube video of Stay Crunchy right now and then go out and buy their kids keyboards.

Pick number two this time around comes from ugress and it’s called Regression 22. This translike song almost reminds me of an upbeet remix of some of the songs from Pure Moods, a CD compilation from the mid 90′s or another song by Ray Lynch from his album Deep Breakfast called Celestial Soda Pop that I loved as a kid. While I’m straying from the point I also want to highly recommend a CD set called A Childhood Remembered and the The Cello’s Song by David Arkenstone and Kostia and Dragon’s Daughter by David Lanz and Paul Speer.

Other great nonlyrical songs recently include Paper Bag by Panic Girl and Helvetica by Arms and Sleepers.

This could really go on forever so I’m going to stop here. Keep your eye out for the next Nonlyrical Music Picks post if you’re into this kind of stuff.
