LP version. The first volume in Glitterbeat's Hidden Music, a series of unmediated field recordings of lesser-known global music traditions. War Is a Wound, Peace Is a Scar is a haunting audio document recorded in the summer of 2014 by Grammy-award winning producer Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, Malawi Mouse Boys, the Good Ones). The sepia-tinged songs are sung and played live and direct by elderly Vietnamese musicians using half-forgotten traditional instruments. These musicians all have deep, personal connections to the upheavals of the Vietnam War; the recordings' mesmerizing mood navigates the blurred line between raw beauty and sadness. An album of cautious healing and an unforgettable meditation on conflict, resistance, collective memory, and the longing for what has been lost. Brennan recalls the recording process for this remarkable document in the album's liner notes, excerpted here: "We had gone to Hanoi to record veterans from their side. Some were music masters, one of whom had joined the army at age thirteen and whose job it was to sing to the troops to boost morale and provide solace. Another was a former AK-47 issued village leader who had not sung in over forty years, and proved to be the most dead-on vocally. She did not hide or adorn, but quietly revealed muted emotions that a microphone often can detect more easily than face-to-face interaction. Then, immediately afterwards, she withdrew back into a stoic shell... with a whammy-bar technology that dates back to the ninth century, it is fair to say that Vietnamese traditions had a bit of a head start over the headbangers of the 1980s. a startling revelation was a plucked instrument (the k'ni) that is clasped between the teeth as the local dialect... is spoken through the
 single string. What sounds like an extraterrestrial instrumental to the uninitiated actually contains coded, poetic lyrics... Let it suffice to say that these artists are a far cry from the lip-synching karaoke show that we saw on the local cable, with groups of teenagers cavorting on a soundstage and mouthing the words to K-pop songs - air-karaoke, if you will - that managed to render something pre-fab even less real. These elders carry a haunting, but muted sadness that seems only fully revealed through the music that they valiantly keep alive in the face of industrialization, waning regard and interest, and the rapid homogenization and 'progress' overtaking their homeland."

Amazing Men Watch
Color: black watch 76
I recently purchased the Olev men's watch, and I’m very impressed with its quality and design. The watch looks elegant on the wrist and feels durable, with a comfortable fit for daily wear. The timekeeping is accurate, and the materials feel premium for the price. It’s perfect for both casual and formal occasions. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone looking for a stylish and reliable accessory.

A nice daily watch
Color: red watch for men 76
This watch does look good in person, however, I bought it an extremely discounted price. The band is the same generally accepted, plastic-like band you will find in less expensive watches but it's bright color makes it stand out. The mini dials on the watch face do not move, so I personally would not pay over $100 for any similar watch. (It's original asking price was near 3x's that). I'm happy with it, which is why I still gave it 4 stars. At a low price, I would buy this in other colors to match my outfits.
