Finally I have been getting out of a rut that has lasted quite some time of not really being into music as I used to be- really wanting to listen to stuff every chance I got. I am a musician for a living so that's sort of more important I guess...anyway....The last week or two that passion has really started to come back and I've heard some great new (to me) tunes and groups.
A Serbian pop song we are doing with a Balkan band I play in (**warning** synthesized horns

) Vesna Zmijanac- Malo po malo

A brand new song by Mustafa Sabanovic, with the great young Roma singer Jelena Markovic doing backing vocals (really grooving dance tune, also Serbian/Roma- this video is live from a wedding, in the middle of town, where everyone is dancing a circle dance) - Lepotica bori

Miles Davis- Wrinkle (This is live in 1991 right before he died! Kind of prog rock funk fusion. On speed.)

A French band I never heard of before, which is so intense and tight! Magma. Here is the first track a friend had some colleagues and I listen to, I think it's the most out there, it's a tribute to Otis Redding. This group is really interesting, most of their other stuff is in this made up language called Kobaïan, which describes this whole sci-fi saga of a post-cataclysmic group of refugees on the planet Kobaïa. Pretty out there, but their stuff is some of the tightest, funkiest stuff I've ever heard. I don't even know how to classify it, it's like prog rock meets a Stravinksy opera meets the funkiest R&B you ever heard, headed by a grandmotherly space alien.
