Got like ~3 minutes to listen to something cool? I wanna show you something! Here's a song by Shirley Nair & The Silver Strings, back from 1965 – the year Singapore became independent. It's got this chill, surf-rock vibe to it. (I skipped ~20 secs of instrumental) https://t.co/UUC6O6cJ8t
Now here's something I think is criminally unknown – check out this 2018 remake/remix by Theodora and Ginny Bloop! It only has ~500 views on YouTube!! IT'S SO GOOD!!! https://t.co/2WXNf2twpo https://t.co/iRai4vYAGw
I always recommend, to people in any scene, to reference, revisit, review, remake and remix older work. It creates a sense of continuity, a sense that the work you're doing is not just fleeting but a part of something greater than yourselves, greater than the present moment
