“Take long walks in stormy weather or through deep snow in the fields and woods, if you would keep your spirits up. Deal with brute nature. Be cold and hungry and weary.”

Introductions: Townes Van Zandt

This is the fourth installment in a series designed to provide listeners (/readers) with a selection of songs from some of my favourite artists. Self-indulgent to make my own Greatest Hits for these artists? Of course. But in the interest of spreading their great works to new ears. These are artists whose catalogues are prohibitively large, yet which are full of gems well deserving of your aural attention. Click the photo or here for a .zip file.

Infinite gratitude to Townes Van Zandt for creating these timeless tunes.

Sagano Bamboo Forest, Japan

This stunning bamboo forest is located in the Arashiyama district on the west outskirts of Kyoto, Japan. It is one of the most amazing natural sites in the country. An interesting fact about Sagano Bamboo Forest is the sound that the wind makes while it blows through the bamboo. Amazingly enough, this sound has been voted on as one of the “one hundred must-be-preserved sounds of Japan” by the Japanese government. Another interesting fact – the railing on the sides of the road is composed out of old, dry and fallen parts of bamboo.

“Ironic, isn’t it Smithers? This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes has cost me the election, and yet if I were to have them killed, I would be the one to go to jail. That’s democracy for you.”

- Mr. Burns
