This is the best band in the world (ever) performing "Please", one of their many incredible songs. This is a great version/performance live at MTV video awards 1997. Actually to me this sounds like a prayer put to music. 10 years ago and I still remember watching this live on TV. Amazing stuff:
The incredible Daft Punk:
Miles Davis (was a genius)

taking my time reading "Chronicles volume one" by Bob Dylan. "Bono on Bono" by Mickha Assayas is up next. The Bible stirs the soul and trembles foundations (removing dust in the process). "A grief observed", "Mere Christianity" and "The Screwtape Letters" by C. S. Lewis and "Addicted to Mediocrity" by Franky Schaeffer helped me see things differently.
