    What a nice cover of one of my favorite Karen Carpenter songs. You know this band from their great Chicago covers. Leonid and Friends featuring Ksenia.

  11. The theme for #TuneTuesday is #MusiciansWhoLoveOtherMusicians and this isn't the happiest of songs or subjects of an artist's life, but here's Sonic Youth's "Tunic (Song for Karen)" penned not long after Karen Carpenter's death.

  12. Long ago, and oh, so far away
    I fell in love with you before the second show
    Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
    But you're not really here, it's just the radio

    #KarenCarpenter was amazing!

  13. Wow. This poignant live cover of the #Beatles' HELP shatters a bunch of preconceptions.

    * If you think of #KarenCarpenter only as a brilliant vocalist, not as a superb drummer, this video sets the record straight

    * If you think of #Carpenters as primarily a studio phenomenon, ditto

    * If you think of HELP primarily as a high-energy romp, this more melancholy cover (and its exquisite harmonies) highlights the intimacy and vulnerability of the lyric

  15. Hay historias en la música que no son fáciles de contar. Y mucho menos de leer.

    Y quizás eso las hace más necesarias.

    Y la historia de hoy es un ejemplo de lo que han tenido que pasar muchas mujeres músicas en su carrera.

    Hoy, en #LaHistorietaMusical , Karen Carpenter.

  16. Karen Carpenter died on this day in 1983 & was one of the most gifted and beloved singers of all time. With a distinctive 3 octave contralto range, she performed with her brother Richard as "The Carpenters," winning 3 Grammy awards. She is listed in the top 100 greatest singers of all time. Her death from heart failure, a result of anorexia raised awareness of eating disorders and body dysmorphia. #KarenCarpenter #TheCarpenters #MusicRoyalty #Music #Singers #Drummers #Musicians

  17. Reading up on #WeyesBlood as I'm soaking in her beautiful recent album, *And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow*

    Her voice has a lot of #KarenCarpenter and #AimeeMann , but the one person she reminds me of more than anyone else is #JudeeSill .

    She is a far stronger songwriter than Judee, but there's just that hint of spirituality-caused sadness, if that makes any sense.
