At the moment I am listening nonstop to Dancing Queen by Abba. I love this song!
What are you listening to?
I'm such a closet Abba fan. I can't help it.
Right now I'm listening to...

I'm listening to an advertisement on Mighty Mendit.

EDIT: Oh and I'll third the ABBA thing. Chiquitita never gets old for me.
Nothing. Music is a primitive mode of expression and creates chemical imbalances within the precious brain juices, sometimes causing the two hemispheres to squeeze through the corpus collosum in a futile attempt to escape by switching sides, resulting in a completely reversed perception.
Just keeding! I'm listening to my usual mix, a random selection of jazz, contemporary rock, pop, videogame music, and even some tv show and movie themes. Right now Mindless Self Indulgences' "Shut me up" is playing.
Lol.. you almost had me worry there Miss until I saw the words "just keeding." But I knew you were just joking. :(
And now something completely different

Wow... so many musical tastes here! LOL! I've got my "Protest" playlist on:
Freewill by Rush
Not Ready to Make Nice by Dixie Chicks
On with the Show by Mary Chapin Carpenter
Losing My Religion by REM (I know it's not about religion per se... but I still love it)
Imagine by John Lennon
Dear God by XTC
Dear Mr. President by Pink
Roll the Bones by Rush
Faithless by Rush
(Just started adding my favorite Rush songs that don't apply to religion)
Limelight, Tom Sawyer, Distant Early Warning, Subdivisions all by Rush
It started with Not Ready the Make Nice and Dear Mr. President... hence the name of the playlist. But the other songs fit nicely in there.
I actually have to turn it off now so I can do transcription... Ugh. I'd MUCH rather listen to the music. LOL!
Currently listening to "Credence" by Opeth.

I'm listening to Sanima Inanma by Sezen Aksu. And yes, it's Turkish pop.
now im lm listening to fighting the world - manowar
I'm listening to cars slide around on the newfallen snow outside.
I'm now listening to the humming noises that my computer makes.
I'm listening to my kitty have a nightmare.
Yay! I like the youtube vids.
Not that anyone will watch mine all the way through (if you do, you'll find it's very impressive)
But I'm just happy to find a thread I can post on without feeling like I'm butting in on the conversation!

Earlier today I was listening to
My Sweet Lord by George Harrison. The song is awesome and it doesn't even bring religion or even a god to my mind.
I'm now listening to Les Rita Mitsouko's "Marc & Robert" album. Les Rita Misouko was a french pop rock band formed by guitarist Fred Chichin and singer Catherine Ringer, that was very popular in France and some other western European countries as well in the late 1980's. They were highly creative and eccentric and in their music they combined elements of punk, rock, synth pop and jazz.
"Control" Puddle Of Mudd
"Song 2" Blur
"Go Wild In The Country" Bow Wow Wow
"Wake Me Up When September Ends" Greenday

(Song 2 is the obligatory I've-got-a-few-extra-minutes-left-on-this-mix-cd choice. Haha.)
I like the ambient sound replies...computer hum, crunchy snow. Kitty nightmare seems a bit drastic, though. Good luck to your kitty.
I'm listening to the local NPR/PRI affiliate. (I'm not very keen on music, but I love it when "All Things Considered" plays that cheesey poof jingle.)
The Beatles - The Night Before
Anyone here a Beatles fan? I love them because I heard them while growing up (my parents were into Beatle mania when they were young).
Quote from: "gwyn428"Anyone here a Beatles fan? I love them because I heard them while growing up (my parents were into Beatle mania when they were young).
I'm a Pink Floyd man. Couldn't really ever get into the Beatles. Not that I didn't try... just not my cup of tea, really.
"Stay" Shakespeare's Sister
"Could It Be Magic" Donna Summer
"Obsession" SOiL

It wasn't actually in the movie but I'm sure it was used for a "Starship Troopers" trailer ... it really fits with the assault pods being dropped down to Klendathu.

Definitely an off the beaten path Psychedelic Furs guy. Completely infatuated with the song 'The Ghost in You'. Haunts me (pun intended).

One of my top 5 favorite songs of all time:
[youtube:2qbwjjlh]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RC0tIrHjTIM[/youtube:2qbwjjlh]
Blue October: For my Brother
Shit, that song was so beautiful, that it brought tears in my eyes. I already played it three times in a row. Thanks for sharing it, Ihateyourmike.
Okay, I know you don't usually do this. I don't either. But, seriously, just take a few minutes out of your day and listen to these. I promise you: I have impeccable taste, and these are good.

British Sea Power - No Lucifer

Flight of the Concords - Business Time

And, just for fun: Les Miserables, Javert singing "Stars" with Chinese subtitles. It's amazing to see how much translation is needed for "And if they fall, as Lucifer fell..."
John Fahey
David Grier
Jimmi Hendrix
Quote from: "Tom62"Shit, that song was so beautiful, that it brought tears in my eyes. I already played it three times in a row. Thanks for sharing it, Ihateyourmike.
No problem. I too got a bit emotional the first few times I heard that song. My brother has helped me through many hard times, and that song really brings out what it's like to have a brother for a best friend.

I know what you mean, my brothers are also my best friends. The song is so full of emotions that it blew my socks off. Anyway, I just bought the live album on Amazon yesterday. To get back on track again, I'm now listening to Lily Allen's new album "It's not me, it's you".
I'm listening to "Let Go" by Frou Frou.

I can't get this song out of my head now, and I just have to laugh every time I hear it.
I am listening to edguy - headless game
[youtube:19rjyoxz]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otx49Ko3fxw[/youtube:19rjyoxz]
Gorgeous song, even if it is about a pedophile serial killer (or was he a mass murderer? I can never keep them straight).
Never drink, watch a low-intensity thunderstorm and listen to Nick Drake. The melancholy is almost too much to handle.
Listening to Anne Akiko Meyers (Violinist, and babe-a-licious). Her new CD,
Smile.

This is such a naughty photo. I love it!
BTW, I never knew that Charlie Chaplin actually wrote
Smile. I knew it was associated with him, but had no idea he wrote it. What a guy!
"Mellon Collie and..." by Smashing Pumpkins

Got a shuffle going on a small chunk of the BSG soundtracks. Passacaglia and the Shape of Things to Come from season 1, Allegro from season 2, and Violence and Variations from season 3. It's one of several "I'm on the net reading stuff" playlists, with just enough variance to keep it fresh (for maybe an hour at a time), but enough similarity to feel like I'm just listening to different movements of one very well-written piece. I admit it's a bit much for browsing the net, and it definitely doesn't mesh with facebook and lolcats, but for my travels, it is sufficing nicely. That aside, I've never been quite normal when it came to music.
Here's the gist of it, though this is actually Passacaglia and the Shape of Things to Come in one. Anyone who's seen BSG ought to have had a hard time forgetting this piece.

Ok, enlighten me please!! How'd you do it? :hail: :hail: :hail: Thank you so much!! Electronics and code are 2 of the very few things I just don't grasp, though once I am shown I usually don't forget. Thanks again!
^^^ Simple when you know
New Divide - Linkin Park
Twilight Zone - Golden Earring
Melancholy Hill - The Gorillaz
Their new album,
Plastic Beach, is fantastic. I highly recommend it.

I loved the first Gorillaz album but was pretty 'meh' about the second. Do you think I'll like it?

I know what you mean but this one is their best in my opinion. Before you buy it you should be able to check the songs out on Last.fm or playlist.com. Here's the track titles if you want to listen to some of them. I'm not all that crazy about a few of the more rap-esque songs but the music is phenomenal:
Orchestral Intro
Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach
White Flag
Rhinestone Eyes *
Stylo
Superfast Jelly *
Empire Ants
Glitter Freeze*
Some Kind of Nature
On Melancholy Hill*
Broken
Sweepstakes
Plastic Beach
Cloud of Unknowing
Pirate Jet
* = some of my favs
"The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by Charlie Daniels....two things about this song:
1) If there was a devil and he came to earth OF COURSE he'd come to America and go down South to fiddle-battle with a boy named Johnny.
2) I can't help but think that the devil played just a little bit better than Johnny...
Quote from: "mama_ape"If there was a devil and he came to earth OF COURSE he'd come to America and go down South to fiddle-battle with a boy named Johnny.
I think Georgia is close enough to Hell for the devil to consider it local.

You sure you're not talking about New Jersey?
Anyway, I'm listening to this

You need to listen to this song if you haven't already:

Geeooorgia! - ok - it's like - OH MY GOD!!!"

Not really... Ties to the chorus, which is about feeling immortal when with "you"

For my birthday my wife gave me the super-deluxe version of the remastered reissue of "Exile On Main Street," my favorite rock 'n roll album of all time. Last night I listened to the whole thing, dancing around the living room like a fifty-six-year-old fool! It's great! I saw the Stones when they toured on that album and boy it really brings back memories.
Tonight I'm going to give a listen to the ten unreleased songs from those sessions.

I'm on a Black Keys kick right now. Broke them back out after a few years on very light rotation. Perfect if you like some good, raw, gritty blues. Close your eyes and you'll have a hard time the band consists of two young white guys from Cleveland; insane amounts of soul in their stuff.

Thou Shalt not Steal - Kev Carmody
1788 down Sydney cove
The first boat people land
Sorry boys our gains your loss
We’re gonna steal your land
And if you break our new British law
Be sure your gonna hang or work your
lives like our convicts
With a chain on your neck and hand
CHORUS
And they told us
Woah black woman thou shalt not steal
Hey black man thou shalt not steal
We’re gonna civilize your black barbaric lives
And we’ll teach you how to kneel
But your history couldn’t hide the genocide
The hypocrisy that was real
For your Jesus said you’re supposed to give
The oppressed a better deal
We say to you
yes our land thou shalt not steal
Woah Our land you better heal
With your science and technology
You can make a nuclear bomb
Development has increased its size
Three million mega ton
And if you think that’s progress
I suggest your reason is unsound
You should have found out long ago
You best keep it in the ground
CHORUS
Job and me and Jesus Sittin underneath
that Indooroopilly bridge
Watchin’ that blazin’ sun go down
Behind a tall tree'd mountain ridge
The land’s our heritage and spirits here
The rightful culture's black
And we’re sitting here just wondering
When we gonna get our land back
CHORUS
Well you talk of conservation
Keep the forest pristine green
But in 200 years your materialism
Has stripped the forest clean
And a racist contradiction
that's understood by none
but mostly their left hand holds the bible,
And the right hand holds the gun
CHORUS

and love me when I'm gone
Everything I am and everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

One of my favorite radio stations, KCRW, and NPR outlet out of Los Angeles. Playing now: Garth Trinidad's show, which is weighted to dance but still holds my interest, because it's pretty outré.

Pull Me Under by Dream Theater.
Saw the newest Harry Potter movie last weekend and was very happily surprised to hear a Nick Cave song during the Harry/Hermione dance scene, "O Children," from Nick's 2004 double CD, Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus. It put me in the mood to listen to it again, which I hadn't done in a few years, "O Children" being one of the better tracks in the collection. Here's a video clip of the track, an homage, of sorts, to all things Harry Potter.

T'is Christmas, the season of countless Scrooge themed programs.
Barbie scrooge???
QuoteEbenezer Scrooge is one of the few people you are allowed to hate at Christmas, or at least you're allowed to 'dislike' what he stands for. Miserly and lacking in empathy, Scrooge is essentially a joyless, friendless, humourless, lonely old man. But was he morally bad as common wisdom would have it? Our guest this week says NO. Ebenezer Scrooge was as a man of ethical principle.

avantasia - dying for an angel
Yeah, I'll admit it's not that great of a song. It's not terrible either, though.
Now, I'm listening to The Unforigven III, which is one of the things I say whenever I hear somebody say that all the new Metallica songs are shit.
Quote from: "MariaEvri"avantasia - dying for an angel
Anything with Michael Kiske is supreme, his version of Lost in Space is great, he is great on Farewell. Place Vendom and Kiske/ Sommerville is good too. But nothing beats The Keepers.
Metallica haven't done anything good in 20 years, MOP is brilliant, KIA is very good, RTL has a couple good songs, AJFA has a couple good songs but drags on. TBA is good for Hard Rock. Load and reLoad are TBA wannabes, St Anger is terrible, Deaf Magnetic is a distorted mess.
Quote from: "Stevil"Metallica haven't done anything good in 20 years,
Bull.

Agreed.
QuoteKIA is very good,
Don't you mean "KEM"? And I disagree. Most songs on that album aren't very good.

Most, if not all, of the songs on that album are awesome.

Bull. All of the songs on that album are rockin'.

Not really. Those albums have a completely different sound, and largely are forgettable.

I've only listened to a couple songs on it, so I can't comment.
QuoteDeaf Magnetic is a distorted mess.
There are at least three-to-four good songs on that album.

Actually it's "KEA" (=Kill 'Em All) and I love that album.

Awesome album. In my opinion their best. Only weak song is Escape.
QuoteQuoteAJFA has a couple good songs but drags on.
Bull. All of the songs on that album are rockin'.
I agree with both of you if that makes sense.
QuoteQuoteTBA is good for Hard Rock.
Don't you mean "TBB"? And yeah, it's also an exceptional album.
No, it's "TBA" (=The Black Album) and it's not hard rock, it's heavy metal. People just get confused because it was their first non-thrash album.
QuoteQuoteLoad and reLoad are TBA wannabes,
Not really. Those albums have a completely different sound, and largely are forgettable.
Load has some good songs, ReLoad is my least favorite Metallica album. I only really like two songs and that is Fuel and The Unforgiven II. Most of the rest are completely forgettable.
QuoteQuoteSt Anger is terrible,
I've only listened to a couple songs on it, so I can't comment.
I don't know why people hate St. Anger so much. Maybe because of the same reason everybody hates Justin Bieber. It's not "cool" to like it. I'll agree that the productions were awful and the vocals were bad and the whole new drum sound didn't really work out that well, but St. Anger still had some good riffs and it was aggressive. St. Anger, for Metallica, needed to be made.
QuoteQuoteDeaf Magnetic is a distorted mess.
There are at least three-to-four good songs on that album.
Productions were bad, yes, but still a really good album. Metallica is back from that whole hard rock period. Make thrash again!
Oh, and metal up your ass.
Quote from: "Cecilie"Actually it's "KEA" (=Kill 'Em All) and I love that album.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
QuoteNo, it's "TBA" (=The Black Album) and it's not hard rock, it's heavy metal. People just get confused because it was their first non-thrash album.
Most people I've come across call it "The Black Box". And yeah, it's definitely metal, not rock. I don't know how you could mistake that for rock.
QuoteLoad has some good songs, ReLoad is my least favorite Metallica album. I only really like two songs and that is Fuel and The Unforgiven II. Most of the rest are completely forgettable.
The Memory Remains and Hero of the Day are pretty good as well, plus a few others I can't think of right now.
QuoteProductions were bad, yes, but still a really good album. Metallica is back from that whole hard rock period. Make thrash again!
I want to know what people mean when they talk about production values. How does that translate into the quality of sound? How were Death Magnetic's product values bad?

Never heard it called black box before. Where does box come from? Definately hard rock, like ACDC and GnR.

listen to the last 20-30 seconds of The day that never comes, you can't hear anything other than distortion (sounds like your speakers are crapping out). The Dynamic Range on that album is 2 Db. On most albums these days it is 6 Dbs and pre 90s it was 12-14 Dbs. They compressed the volumes to get the sound recording as loud as possible.I know it seems a bizzare practice as your stereo has a volume knob. But they do it, when done to extremes it goes beyond the capacity of the recoding media and hence distorts. Deaf Magnetic is one of the worst on the market. If you are interested to learn more google loudness war.
There are better versions of DM on the internet, they are illegal versions mastered by fans and taken from the guitar hero game as it was a premastered version and do not have the clipping issue of the commercial release. Once you have listened to these versions you cannot tolerate the commercial version anymore.
Not a thrash album, more a cross between hard rock and heavy metal. Metallica havn't put out new thrash mateial on over 22 years. Which is ironic to have them headlining the big four thrash festival
Quote from: "Stevil"Never heard it called black box before. Where does box come from?
Presumably because albums are boxed shaped.
QuoteDefinately hard rock, like ACDC and GnR.
, what. ...And Justice For All sounds
nothing at all like AC/DC or Guns 'N Roses.

Arghhh, my comment was with regards to TBA or TBB
Quote from: "Cecilie"I don't know why people hate St. Anger so much. Maybe because of the same reason everybody hates Justin Bieber. It's not "cool" to like it.
I've never done anything to be cool. Always just done my own thing. My favourite bands are Maiden, Megadeth, Helloween, Annihilator, used to be Sepultura back in the day when Max was in the band. Definately not the cool route.
I get a headache listening to St Anger. The drums are really that off putting. I also love listening to guitar music, guitar melodies and lead guitar. When they got rid of that, then the music lost a lot of its appeal. I did find the album too aggressive. I am not that pissed off enough to relate to it. It is a very hard album to listen to right the way through.
You said it was hard rock, like AC/DC and Guns 'N Roses...I said it wasn't like either. Then you said the album was thrash. Then I said that AC/DC and Guns 'N Roses aren't thrash.
Now I'm confused.

I think he meant that TBA was hard rock.

LS, which album is the topic of discussion here?
I think it would be very hard to argue that TBA is harder and heavier than The Razor's Edge or Black Ice or Use Your Illusion I or II or The Spaghetti Incident. It is a little more complex than Hard Rock generally is, has a bit of Metal like structure to the composition though, but still simpler and more of a rock feel to it than Heavy Metal.
When TBA came out a large portion of Metallica fans came from the Hard Rock Scene. Lets face it, Hard Rock has always been generally more accessible to the public than Heavy Metal. I think it was great that Metallica were able to capture a new audience with TBA and then introduce them to Heavy Metal via their back catalogue, but a bit disappointing for myself that they stopped playing Thrash or even Metal. But no big deal, as there are many other great metal bands to carry the flag and produce great new metal for me to listen to.
But anyway, useless us arguing about the genre as there is certainly no clear definition of what is metal and what is hard rock. I have the lines drawn in my head and likely they are different from yours.
Quote from: "elliebean"Metallica's alright. I like their more mellow stuff.
I tend to like different versions of songs, but that was pretty terrible. Pretty sure they would be booed off the stage if they did that.
Here is a great alt version of a Maiden song that I think is very odd but I like

Always hard to recommend as people like songs for different reasons. Annihilator is a great thrash band with a virtuoso guitarist but never had a steady singer. Pretty much anything on Never Never land is pretty good.
Also Try
Alison Hell
Crystal Ann (accoustic instrumental)
WTYD
The Fun Palace
Back to the Palace
Mending (mellow instrumental)
Annihilator (bit of a rocker with nice bass line)
A man called nothing
Voices and Victims
Phonex Rising (awsome ballad)
Brain Dance (crazy song)
Don't bother me
BTW Mustain and Jeff Waters are friends, Mustain has been trying to get Waters into Megadeth for quite some time now.

Metalheads love talking about their music and they're very passionate about it. You won't hear anybody shouting "R&B!" (I didn't come up with that, though it's true). Though it may just be because the songs are usually about death, pain and suffering. You know how we atheists love that!

I believe it is well appreciated in the UK and not the most well known musical. The people that are aware of it seem to love it as much as I do.
Quote from: "joeactor"Tank: Yeah... like a lot of your recent posts! Not familiar with "Hawkwind" tho...
Hawkwind (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawkwind) were a really odd bunch of drug addled musicians. Their early music is very LSD influenced. You may know Lemmy from Motorhead? He was in the lineup at one time.
Hawkwind was the favourite band of Neil from the Young Ones, I'm not sure if that can be considered as a good sign though.

I first heard this song in Chicago in 1999 at a karaoke bar. A young lady took the mike and just blew the whole joint away, this is a poor impression of what I heard that evening. I have no idea who she was or if she ever sang outside the bar but she was truly incredible.

Bookreadings from this -
Quote'I don't believe in God, but I miss Him,' Julian Barnes says in this book. And although he warns us that it is not his autobiography, it none the less gives us a guided tour of the mind of one of England's most acclaimed writers. Among other things, Nothing to be Frightened of is a family memoir, a dialogue with his philosopher brother, and a meditation on mortality.

You should check out some of their other songs. I particulary liked 'Good life' as well.
Just found this one Woodkid - Iron (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSkb0kDacjs) It's kinda of weird, but interesting. They did the soundtrack for the new Assassin's Creed Revelations trailer.

Anthrax - Worship Music
Is it any good? I've been dying to hear their new album.
It's not bad. Highlights to me how much I've missed Belladona, Bush is good but I think Belladona give more dynamics with vocal melody. Although it seems the songs could have easily been written for Bush.
Can't believe it's been 8-9 years since their last album.
This is the best song on the album (IMHO)

Kingdom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=box79oyeVJY) by Soulfly
Ordinarily I like songs with vocal melody rather than something that could be likened to vocal rhythm.
On this song is gutteral growling more than singing, but I do find Max Cavelera's growls more pleasant than most. I find the guitar riff extremely memorable and hard for me to stop "humming" in my head.

QuoteThe code:
1) if you ever hear this song, anywhere you must:
a) do whatever your doing in slow-motion
b) be very dramatic
c) dont smile or look happy, your a hero
e) pretend the world is at stake
f) and if someone asks, whats wrong with you, make sure they are behind you, slowly tilt your head backwards over your shoulder, eye them with the side of your face, clinch your fists, walk away in slow motion, if they say anything, turn around fully, clinch your fists, and say "you talking to me?"

You wouldn't happen to have a video or something similar of your song covers, would you, Asmo?
I do not own a digital video camera, so no videos. Making videos of me with a cell phone is, quite frankly, beneath me.
I have a few WAVs, MIDIs and the like, but none published, since I have little interest in publishing covers and none of my own projects are quite there yet.
Tease.

What I atually mean when I post "Asmodean - SomethingOrOther" is that I am currently, or just was, performing the said piece on my synthesizers. It rarely means that I'm listening to playbacks of myself.
Does anybody here listen to Nephew? I find that I quite like their music.

Sun Ra - Sleeping Beauty (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpYa_HW_GxI)
I'm reliving my youth and using Spotify to see how much of the old goth and industrial music I used to listen to I can find. So far, a lot actually. I listened ot a bunch of Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees and now I'm listening to Rasputina. :D

The Goat Rodeo Sessions is an amazing album!
Yeah, I saw the ensemble on Colbert Report and loved their sound. I like how Yo Yo Ma tries to expand his sound beyond just pure classical music, as much as I love that too.

Týr - Valhalla (Lyrics) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASyNd7HZhzw&feature=related)
QuoteFaiths and fools will pretend they have the answers to all
In awe they'll defend fictional visions of mist
I never believed in their stories
I never saw sense in their speech
All they ever taught me was hatred
Trough the ages your desolate pages we're forced to learn
Bitter days and your logical maze in return
Through the stages of conscience in cages we bleed and burn
Just take me to Valhalla
02: Týr - Shadow Of The Swastika (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP5-BfCr_D8&feature=related)
QuoteYou who think the hue of your hide means you are to blame
And your father's misdeeds are his son's to carry in shame
Not mine I'll take no part
You can shove the sins of the your father where no light may pass
And kiss my Scandinavian ass
Pages of the past
How long will they last?
A lie lost in the legacy of fools left us this parody unsurpassed
Pages of the past
How long will they last?
The shadow of the Swastika by fools' fears now for far too long has been cast

I like them both, but I like Das Omen a bit more. Plus, I'm not very picky, though I do seem like it when I make fun of things.
You has an ear for synthesizers, yes? Take a look at this here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLpkXtM-VI8)... Is Norwegian Electronica/TripHop. Lighter stuff than E Nomine and far less arpeggiated. Maybe you'll like.

Link is blocked in my country, maybe I can find it by the band name. I like a lot of different stuff, I really have no hated or favorite genre or style.
Yeah, empty makes sense, I think a lot of E Nomine is hit or miss. Some of it I really like, but some of it is kind of only good as background music.

I'm not listening to them at this moment, but Iron Maiden is touring NY this summer and I am SO going!! Never seen them live, but I just LOVE them!! Blast from the past! :)
The past? The PAST? They never went away, sonny!

Absolutely not! He must not become mayor! He must go on tour! He must make a new album! His awesomeness must not be diminished by holding public office!

Ha, I've seen worse political decisions. But I'm not sure the messenger bringing us 'The number of the beast' would be very welcome in some countries. :o
One of the Great British exports of the 20th Century. I'm considering putting on my cycling leggings and hop-skippety-jumping back and forth in reminiscence of the spandex years. That and resvisiting my mullet.... Hmm, perhaps not...

Point of it All by Amanda Palmer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9DG-cxTwWk&ob=av2e
I love her voice. It's clear, but kinda raspy in an awesome way.
The Point of it All is brilliant. Who Killed Amanda Palmer is my all-time favorite album. And my username is from her song Runs in the Family. :)
Nice, she's from my neck of the woods. I saw her a few times way back before she was well known.
Awesome! I've found another Amanda Palmer fan! ;D And yay on the username!
NY or Mass...? :)
Mass. I saw her play a couple of clubs around Cambridge

Awesome! :) Yeah, she's a LOT of fun.
But man, oh man, one time I had youtube pulled up and I was watching the video for her song, "Oasis"... a religious family member walked quietly up behind me, watched it too, and when it was done he freaked out. ;)
Listening to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdmdthHxwzY). It's... Terrible. But also... I don't know, cool, I guess.
(It deserves a photosensitive epilepsy sticker, by the way)
My brother suggested these to me, esp. the first one, Little Water Song. I'm not really sure how I feel about this song -- part of me really likes it (I used to have mermaid fantasies as a child) and part of me thinks the singer needs to check her meds.

Lately I've been getting in to dubstep. Just bought a few songs from itunes. Pretty good. Seems I like the Skrillex song "Gettin It" best out of the bunch.
I like bassy industrial sounding electronica lately. :)

Don't get me started on the state of what happened to dubstep, I go from a 20 something year old to an old man in the blink of an eye. A form of music that had loads of potential and became shit with Skrillex being the worst offender.
I just got a Get Yer Ya Ya's Out CD, I used to have a tape.

I'm a traditional metalist, so possibly likely to take an anti-dubstep stance, but I'm quite enjoying some of the harder modern music like Skrilex. I like it because it's meaty and hard and has an industrial feel. I've also been listening to Deadmau5 for a couple of years, that does it for me too. If you know of any other stuff like this I'd happily take some recommendations.
Crow, what would you consider good dubstep?

Haha I know, doesn't everything? But hey that was when I was in uni so I like to keep the rose tinted spectacles on and preach about the good old days. I haven't really listened to much dubstep in a good while but I still listen to Burial and Zomby from time to time, but here are a few that I remember [1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0KTKlCQTjE)][2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTiYB_W-MXk)][3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni7NoQXq13k)][4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83kWjzgNbNA)][5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83kWjzgNbNA)][6 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNoj2Y0iHxw)][6 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRHy_bf1EmY)][7 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8VLxLm8hMo)][8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTw_sj7Ugxw)][9 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaU-pnassYM)].

I just bought The Division Bell by Pink Floyd, their last album. Figured I'd complete the collection :) Not bad so far, though not terribly different from their previous endeavors either. But I still think they're amazing.
Colton Dixon's version of "Love the Way You Lie": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFDPo8GGUi0
And I love it soooo, so much better than either of the two well-known, popular versions out there.
Ooooh man, is that voice and that music powerful. *ALMOST* powerful enough to make me weak in the knees and have second thoughts about my man-stance. ;D

So far, Cluster One and High Hopes. I love the intro on high hopes, the piano theme playing off the ringing bell is dark and dream-like.

I've seen Sepultura a couple of times - brilliant power music live and mental moshing mayhem; Superb.

I really want to go Sonar Barcalona (http://www.sonar.es/en/2012/prg/ar/list/#slider_1_p1) this year I have said that every year for the last 7 years but never gone. But this year the Amon Tobin - ISAM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdOAhn8TV20) show is being perfomed there and to me would be worth the price of the tickets, flights and hotel.

That's a great lineup at Sonar. Good times!. And I'm liking Amon Tobin. Hope you get to go!
I took my wife and the kids to Isle of Wight festival 2010 as a birthday surprise. We camped and it was such a hoot (nice wine-buzz throughout the day) and I loved the fact the kids got to experience the atmosphere. They loved it - the nice weather helped. It was a bit limiting having the kids in the evening, but we took turns (I saw Blondie on Saturday and she saw J-Zed on Sunday). The other highlight for me was seeing the accoustic set of Little Boots who I love. All in it ended up costing about £700 which smarted a little! Recommend it to any family interested in experiential education for the kids. We're hoping to do Bestival once this decade...
I got an iPhone yesterday (haha, I know, like the comic from the "What's On Your Mind" thread) so I suddenly went from a 6 year old Nano that holds 1 GB of stuff to 16 GB. I made a rookie mistake and went insane and put all 900+ of our songs in iTunes (gathered over the last 6 years) on it at once. Husband even said "I don't think you want to do that" but I was in such a mania of having so many GBs to play with, I thought "What could be the harm in having MORE songs?"
Well, I didn't think about the fact that probably 3/4s of those songs are Husband's, and not necessarily anything I really wanted to listen to or have even heard. Also, that playing 900+ songs on Shuffle means that it is going to be years before I hear that song I like again.
So far today I have listened to:
Talking Heads - The Lady Don't Mind (mine, love)
The Briggs - Dead Men Don't Tell Tales (hubby's, okay)
Dr Dre and Snoop - That Kush (ours, love)
DeadMau5 - Mr G - (hubby's - what is this intolerable bullshit that he's listening to these days?)
MGMT - Kids (ours, okay, but I'm kind of over my MGMT phase, and while I'm thinking about it, do we really need 3 versions of this song?!?)
Tiger Army - Outlaw Heart (ours, okay, but also kind of over my Tiger Army phase)
Elliot Smith - Alameda (hubby's, not bad)
The Strokes - Juicebox (hubby's, I like, despite having a stupid name)
DeadMau5 - Tiny Dancer (hubby's, okay seriously, what is this shit?!?)
The Peacocks - First (ours, awwwww, I completely forgot how much I love the Peacocks. Thank you iPhone.)
The Like - Fair Game (I guess it must be hubby's since it's not mine, but it has the sound of something he downloaded because he thought I would like it, I do like it.)
Tool - Jambi (hubby's, love)
Tyler the Creator - Nightmare (hubby's, freakin' Tyler the Creator. He's like the only person in the world more grumpy than Asmo.)

Seriously?!? I guess this is how you know I'm getting old. I think I'd rather take a screwdriver to my eardrums than listen to anymore DeadMau5. Since writing that list, I also listened to the Sleigh Bells (hubby's, okay, but two things - first, it would have been way cooler if they spelled it Slay Belles, and second, someone needs to turn up that chick's mike.) and Asher Roth (ours.) Oh Asher Roth. I turned into my dad while I wasn't looking. I used to think Asher Roth was kind of funny (when I used to listen to him, like 4 years ago.) Now I'm all "Stop whining and appreciate the miracle of flight, you asshole." (in response to "Bad Day" where he complains about having to sit on an airplane next to a fat person and without his iPod, amongst other White Whines.) I'm old.

Hahaha, I'm not a fan of OFWGKTA either (except for maybe three tracks across the whole group) but Tyler the Creator is down with the hipsters so Ali gets hipster stock.
I like pretty much all kinds of electronic music except for trance, it's awful you can fill it full of electro hooks and wonky basslines its still trance.
I've been listening to a lot of "Matt & Kim" lately. They're a lot of fun.

I used to really like trace, but I don't like it when it sounds cutsey. I remember years ago buying a few techno cds and thinking that I really hated them. I love electronic music, but these were just bad albums. I don't even remember the names of them.
And The Prodigy are reuniting for this concert? Awesome. One of my favorites of theirs is Weather Experience. Also, Piranha is an ultimate favorite. That and Spitfire.
Has anyone heard of Pendulum? The Terminal is my favorite of theirs. Sounds like Cybermen from Doctor Who.

I got an iPhone yesterday (haha, I know, like the comic from the "What's On Your Mind" thread) so I suddenly went from a 6 year old Nano that holds 1 GB of stuff to 16 GB. I made a rookie mistake and went insane and put all 900+ of our songs in iTunes (gathered over the last 6 years) on it at once. Husband even said "I don't think you want to do that" but I was in such a mania of having so many GBs to play with, I thought "What could be the harm in having MORE songs?"
Well, I didn't think about the fact that probably 3/4s of those songs are Husband's, and not necessarily anything I really wanted to listen to or have even heard. Also, that playing 900+ songs on Shuffle means that it is going to be years before I hear that song I like again.
>:(
So far today I have listened to:
Talking Heads - The Lady Don't Mind (mine, love)
The Briggs - Dead Men Don't Tell Tales (hubby's, okay)
Dr Dre and Snoop - That Kush (ours, love)
DeadMau5 - Mr G - (hubby's - what is this intolerable bullshit that he's listening to these days?)
MGMT - Kids (ours, okay, but I'm kind of over my MGMT phase, and while I'm thinking about it, do we really need 3 versions of this song?!?)
Tiger Army - Outlaw Heart (ours, okay, but also kind of over my Tiger Army phase)
Elliot Smith - Alameda (hubby's, not bad)
The Strokes - Juicebox (hubby's, I like, despite having a stupid name)
DeadMau5 - Tiny Dancer (hubby's, okay seriously, what is this shit?!?)
The Peacocks - First (ours, awwwww, I completely forgot how much I love the Peacocks. Thank you iPhone.)
The Like - Fair Game (I guess it must be hubby's since it's not mine, but it has the sound of something he downloaded because he thought I would like it, I do like it.)
Tool - Jambi (hubby's, love)
Tyler the Creator - Nightmare (hubby's, freakin' Tyler the Creator. He's like the only person in the world more grumpy than Asmo.)

Just discovered Ramstein.
Sounds pretty good. Although I get a feeling it is a good thing that I don't understand German.
The one English song on the album, the lyrics make me cringe
You've got a pussy
I've got a dick
so what's the problem
lets do it quick
Try Spieluhr or Ohne Dich
Rammstein don't make the most complicated of lyrics, but many of their songs have more substancethan the one quoted.
I know german. I have been to the town/airbase of Ramstein. And I hate the band!
I'm only semi-proficient in German thanks mostly to my former neighbour. However, does not "Rammstein" mean a rock battering ram?

Originally the band named themselves "Rammstein Flugschau", after the tragical Ramstein Airport 1988 airshow. During that show planes collided and 70 people died in the crash. According to one of the founders of the band, they didn't realize at that time that the Ramstein contained only one m.
The German word for ram is Ramme. Rammstein or Rammestein however isn't an official German word.

I'm only semi-proficient in German thanks mostly to my former neighbour. However, does not "Rammstein" mean a rock battering ram?
Originally the band named themselves "Rammstein Flugschau", after the tragical Ramstein Airport 1988 airshow. During that show planes collided and 70 people died in the crash. According to one of the founders of the band, they didn't realize at that time that the Ramstein contained only one m.
The German word for ram is Ramme. Rammstein or Rammestein however isn't an official German word.
Nice! Thanks for the correction

I've not yet found anything else as good. I too was a genre novice before the Skrillex revelation. David Cuetta (Titanium) is a poppier, lighter option but nothing else has the 'cahunas'. Let me know if you find anything else...

I don't know what that would even be classed as, its got a bit of glitch-hop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGT8VnHy34g), that electronic R'n'B thing like Koreless (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QVadIgPglM), and the bro-step (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgi50LAJvWM) basslines going on.

Nah nothing dubstep about it, no dub and no two-step. It's like taking the drops from different electronic genres and mixing them together in a similar way to how Pendulum approached Drum N Bass.

As I recall, he played virtually nothing from the back catalogue. He did do a busking session beforehand in the city centre which I missed when I think he performed older material including some Pixies's songs and was almost arrested for his pains.

I particularly like The Rifles!
YAY!!! Glad you liked them, Amicale! I am a great fan of many genres... though I seem to listen mainly to alternative music.
I am generally a fan of all types of music with the absolute exception of rap. I have even been known to listen to country on occasion, although it would not be my first choice. Lately I've been on a 60's and 70's rock kick, tracking down live performances from bands of that era. I recently ran across the last live recording of Hendrix (apparently a bit of a bootleg) and it has been fantastic to listen to. It's been available for a number of years and it's hard to believe that I had never run across it.
I have a large collection of 60's and 70's music and eclectic tastes as well ;) Perhaps you'll share with me where I can listen to the Hendrix recording? I'd love to hear it!

It's actually an album produced in '87 called The Last Experience and billed as his last live performance. Reading a bit more though it looks like it may have been his last recording, not his last performance. Anyway, google Jimi Hendrix The Last Experience and you should be able to find it. If not let me know and I'll figure out a way to share my copy.

I am a HUGE Wes Anderson fan. Seen all of his movies several times except for Moonrise Kingdom which I've only seen once. I love the cuss out of everything Wes has ever touched.
I'm now listening to Dream Theatre, never really listened to them before but the CD store was selling 5 albums for $20, so I couldn't refuse.
Also decided to chase Dio's past and got The Very Best of Rainbow, has about 5 songs from Dio and 11 from other singers. Dio's songs are more interesting, the others have more catchy chorus, but all the singers are great.

Yes and no, music producers are the biggest audiophiles you will ever meet and as technology improved not only did the recording but speaker quality did as well, producers put more focus on the higher end speakers which frequencies can not be played on even pretty good speakers now, due to the constraints on audio formats. So at the higher end the music quality is outstanding especially if you go for higher quality formats. If you are ever interested in sampling high quality audio at an affordable price without disturbing the neighborhood check out the 'Shure SE315 Sound Isolating Earphones' and play your favorite CD's, you wont be disappointed. If you can afford it go for the SE535's and prepared to have music ruined for you from any other source, hell even the base model of that range will do that.

Due to the loudness war, no matter how good your system is, the drums are gonna sound like rubbish, in the mid 90's they compensated by making more impacting drum sounds, but they sound like shit. Now they don't over compensate, but the drums sound dead, no bounce, no substance.

From having a pair of those headphones and quite an extensive selection of music I would have to disagree. Though to be fair I have never sat down and directly compared the drums from similar styles of music across the years.

By removing the dynamic range (volume) they remove the punch of the drums (prior to the loudness wars drums where much louder than everything else).
Then in the early 90's they developed software to compress the volume range, so everything is at top volume. They do this so that the song can be overall louder. It is used for TV ads as well, which is why TV adds are 3 or more times louder than normal tv.
For music it's impact is weakened drums. (It also lessens the ability of the musician to put feeling into the music, liken it to having a piano without weighted keys, so all notes sound at exactly the same volume).
I found in the early days of compression that some artists compensated by making more impacting drum sounds, but these sound just terrible and have ruined what would have otherwise been terrific albums.
Now days they don't overcompensate, but the drumming still sounds bland. If you listen to a pre 90's album you might think it has terrific sound.
I've just been listening to some 70's Rainbow and it sounds great and refreshing from a drum sound perspective.
If I was an audiophile (I'm not), with expensive sound system, I wouldn't listen to post 90's music at all.
If I listen predominantly to post 90's music I wouldn't spend money on expensive sound system because it is not going to fix the issue.
I refuse to buy music that is less than 7 Dynamic Range. Death Magnetic is 3 DR. Final Frontier is 8 DR. Music from pre 90's like Number of the Beast is 12 to 14 DR.

Been following them since I bought Embrace The Storm, their first album, by accident back in '06, I think. They are more progressive than Within Temptation and less symphonic than Nightwish. I like that.

Yeah, I'll check them out more.
I like both Within Temptation and Nightwish, Nightwish is a tad too Operatic, but in saying that I really like Sarah Brightman music too.

I've no comment on the music and I know this was probably a typo, but I thought it was funny. :D Over here, little girls (and actual women, sigh, LOL) who love Justin Bieber call themselves 'beliebers' - ie, believing in Bieber. Now that paints your mom in a whole new light, eh? ;D

I used to enjoy this members-only club in London called 'Slimelight'. It was in a crappy warehouse building - I guess you could call it warehouse-chic if being positive. There was music on three floors - Metal/thrash, hardcore industrial/techno and Goth, and ran from 11pm to 7am. It was frequented by rubber and leather-clad nutters. They had no alcohol for sale on the premises (just a bar selling soft drinks and snacks) so we could take our own booze in. A gram of amphetamine and a half bottle of whiskey would set me up for many hours of hard dancing and chatting up rubbered blue-hairs. It was a highlight of my exuberant youth, leading to a love of fetish culture for a while. We sometimes went to the 'Rubber Ball' which was a full-on high-class fetish event with full nudity, gimps, chains, rubber etc... Strictly no entry without fetish garb or ball-gown / dinner dress. I always wore a very conservative pair of leather trousers and a rubber top I constructed myself. Again, very fond memories of this time in my life. Truth be told, I never really left it behind...
Now, what were we talking about? Ah, yes music... there was some of that too...;D

I just like the lyrics:
I was at a funeral the day i realized
I wanted to spend my life with you
Sitting down on the steps at the old post office
The flag was flying at half mast
And i was thinking 'bout how
Everyone is dying
And maybe it is time to live
I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll do
Walked in to the thrif-tee
Saw the man with the hollow eyes
Who didn't give me all my change
But it didn't bother me this time
'cause i know i've only got
This moment
And it's good
I went to the gas station
Old woman honked her horn
Waiting for me to fix her car
I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll do
Laying in bed tonight i was thinking
And listening to all the dogs
And the sirens and the shots
And how a careful man tries
To dodge the bullets
While a happy man takes a walk
And maybe it is time to live

I have a very wide taste in Music and I actually like quite a lot of the Music that Britney performs. Mostly the bouncy dance stuff. Whatever one may think about the performer she has some really good song writers ;D

The Killers - Romeo and Juliet
Edit - I've just found out it's actually a Dire Straits cover, you learn something new everyday!
Mozart's 40th, to remind myself what Radiant's got to analyse. It's very well known, but in my total ignorance of musical theory I can't say anything useful.
How about, 'It jiggles up and down a lot and goes diddy-Dum diddy-Dum diddy-DUM'?

Sepultura - Refuse resist.
Ahh, the reminiscence. I saw them several times in my university days. Good clean, meaty guitar sound - was always what I used to try to get my little Fender50 to sound like... and failed.
Any recommendations on some similar, more 'current' offerings?
It's a Queens of The Stone Age type of morning here.
Celldweller - Soundtrack for the voices in my head.
Techno/Glitch/Thrash - I've found me a new favourite genre...
Robert Long's album "Vroeger of Later". When it was released in 1974; the album caused great controversy, because the album contained very critical songs about politics, hypocritical "morals" and religion, as well as sensitive songs about homosexuality and suicide. The album was boycotted by all Christian broadcasting companies in the Netherlands.

I'm listening to the sounds of silence.
No, not the Simon & Garfunkel song.
I think my laptop speakers are screwed up. :( or I'm doing something wrong. My computer can play random sounds (like if I click on my sound icon and jack the sound all the way up, I'll hear that usual bell chime thing) but if I try to play something on a website/youtube, the video plays and no sound happens. And nope, it's not on mute on youtube, and if I go to the sound mixer on my computer, all the possible sound bars are as high as they'll go.
Grrrrrrr.

Whenever I get sound of video problems the first thing that comes to mind are the codec. Usually in my case it was because of some incompatibility or outdated codec pack. Don't take my word for it though, but it might be that.
I am having a 60s classics sing along session....
Otis Reading, Marvin Gaye, Ben E King, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin to name but a few that I've been told to stop singing to!
Ronald Jenkees-Gold Spinners (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuQ7RPk8NjQ) This song is so relaxing.
Right now, I am listening to an odd mix of dubstep music and christmas music. It's oddly refreshing. I blame Pandora.

Thank you for introducing me to an artist I'd never heard of before - I really like her style! I'll be looking for more of her stuff. Very folksy, some rock, a bit of pop, but all her own style. :)
I also looked up her website, and found a song of hers that I wanted to give a try: Left That Body Long Ago (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nm8tdWsYi4) and because I'm not a huge fan of videos with random pictures, I just closed my eyes and listened, and tears came to my eyes. On her site, she talks about how she lost her grandma to Alzheimers, and I've known and lost people to it, too. Really powerful, touching song.

Still getting into it. At the moment I'd say a little samey with no one track standing out.
Lying in the sunshine, songza on my iphone has selected Bebel Gilberto's The Sun Is Shining. Very nice chill song.

Wagner, 'Ride of the Valkyries', just because it's playing on the radio. The Asmo likes it as world-domination-plotting music.
Yes. Asmos evilly puff on their smokes in gloomy rooms with computer screens and scurrying minions while composing taunts for the soon-to-be-doomed world to that tune. :D

Fairly accurate. My MIL watches it, but wasn't in the room while I was passing through. During the 60 seconds or I watched I was mostly thinking "Oh crap, can I change this while I cook dinner or is that rude?" Then she came back and started talking at me about how talented they all are... I feigned cramps and ran off.

I have hated that song ever since it came out in about the mid-late 90s, I think it was. Redundant and annoying, IMO. And oh holy shit was it overplayed back when it came out. It was everywhere.
It is an absolutely terrible song but I can't help but like it.
scamp LOVES the blue song, I'll try and record her singing it as I think she's way better than eiffel!
I think if it were actually sung without all the autotuning it would be so much better. Hmmm, maybe that could be my ticket to fame and fortune. :D
I'm almost ashamed to say it's made it on to my compilation of favourite tracks. I love it mostly because of the memories it evokes, but I do like the vibe.
I really like that song! ;D It used to play alot on the radio around the year 2000.
I never liked that song very much. But there are songs I liked, but am now embarrassed for liking. I liked Ice, Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice for a while. If I were to compare the two, I think that Ice, Ice Baby is a far worse song than Blue.

Yeah, it was "sampled" directly from Under Pressure. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_Pressure#Remixes.2FSampling) I remember all the copyright law suits that went on back then when hip hop started getting more popular. M.C. Hammer in particular was hurt pretty badly by them. But I don't think that there was ever a lawsuit filed against Vanilla Ice for using Under Pressure, and Vanilla Ice initially denied copying.

I was struck with a completely random and overwhelming urge to listen to Deadsy around 9:45 this morning, so I've been going with that.
I just heard about the group Vampire Weekend. So far, I like "The kids don't stand a chance" and "White Sky".
Their story caught my attention on the CBS Sunday morning show.
I'm an oldies fan and an oldie tho. Temptations, Jim Croce, Elton John, etc ...
Being the big Shinedown fan that I am, I've been listening to "Leave A Whisper" album in lue of it's tenth anniversary. I can easily listen to all of their albums back to back. On top of that I listened to a big of Nick Cave and Mushroomhead.

They have a new song on the radio that I actually like for a change. Can't remember what it's called but there was a piano involved. Their singer reminds me of Chris Cornell which is a good thing. ;)

Refreshingly in-your-face, head-above-the-parapet stuff from this polio sufferer.
I think Zac Brown Band is the only country music that I enjoy listening to. I especially like their collabs with Jimmy Buffett like
Knee Deep (http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/Knee+Deep+feat+Jimmy+Buffett/3Y9DwM?src=5). Of course, I like almost anything with Jimmy Buffett.
The original soundtrack from The King and I. I think the beginning of Hello, Young Lovers is where my Anglophilia began:
When I think of Tom
I think about a night
When the earth smelled of summer
And sky was streaked with white
And the soft mist of England
Was sleeping on a hill . . .
I can remember being completely enchanted by that description from the very first moment I heard it as a little girl watching The King and I in a theater with my grandmother.

Very.
If you heard it, you would recognize it. It's fucking everywhere. And one of the rapiest songs ever.

You seem to find the dark when everything is bright
You look for all that's wrong instead of all that's right
Does it feel good to you to rain on my parade
You never say a word unless it's to complain
It's driving me insane
If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars for all that I have
If I were you
Look at what's around you now
More than you ever dreamed
Have you forgotten how just hard it used to be?
So what's it going to take for you to realize
That all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time
If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
Tell the world I love that I do
Yeah if I were you
Yeah if I were you
If I were you
If I were you
So what's it going to take for you to realize
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time
If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
For the world I love
Take a breath and enjoy the view
Live the life that I wanna do
If I were you
If I were you

Hoobastank - Inside of You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=639eG5Y9JTg
It seems so obvious
There's something up with us
I swear I feel it from across the room
So can I ask you this
Not to be forward miss
But I think I'd kill myself
If I never knew
What do I have to do
To get inside of you
To get inside of you
Cause I love the way you move
When I'm inside of you
When I'm inside of you
Just ask and I will do
Anything you want me to
There is no limit to
How far I will go
And I'm sure I can't pretend
To be a gentleman
But before I begin
I just gotta know
(Just gotta know)
(Just gotta know)
What do I have to do
To get inside of you
To get inside of you
Cause I love the way you move
When I'm inside of you
When I'm inside of you
For now I'll play the game
And I'm waiting for your move
But I've gotta say
That I never lose
What do I have to do
To get inside of you
To get inside of you
What do I have to do
To get inside of you
To get inside of you
Cause I love the way you move
When I'm inside of you
When I'm inside of you
When I'm inside of you
You
You
When I'm inside of you

Breaking into the public scene is more about marketing than talent, it's ridiculous.

Don't think so.
Would be quite expensive music video to make. I suspect they will be marketing this song quite strongly to try and break the US market,
Just a guess though.

It did look expensive which is what prompted me to ask. I've seen whole films with a worse plot!

They've released a short "making of (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NoLpRKEDVAQ)" clip. The movie was definitely made for the song.
It never ceases to amaze me how much work can go into these productions.

Five Finger Death Punch - Salvation
Pretty good song (from the point of view of someone who likes groove metal of course) about sheeple who blindly follow their native religions without a second thought.
"It's monkey see, and monkey do
You're always doing what they tell you to
You're like a puppet on string
You don't get it!
I won't bow to something that I've never seen
I can't believe in something that doesn't believe in me
I'm not blood of your blood, I'm no son of your god
I've no faith in your fate
Still I find salvation"
Waldeck - Get Up Carmen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qls_yKxHgA
Best of Neil Daiamond but v impressed by the words of the song, Salvation, contributed by NotHandlebarsAttached.
Christmas Carols. A bit early for my liking, but Mrs Git wants them.
A collection of oboe concerti (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOc6I7rxAO8). Supposedly by Johann Sebastian Bach, but the one I'm hearing right now most certainly was composed by Alessandro Marcello, or at least it was originally.

Sometimes I wonder if songwriters speak to common human experiences as much as they sometimes seem to, or if it's more like reading a message in tea leaves.

I do like select songs, and I enjoy them in appropriate settings, it's when EVERY station is playing nothing but Christmas music 24/7, and like the rest of the year, they're all on a rotation of the same 15 damn songs. Only now it's not like I can switch genre for some variation. Someone less stable is going to snap and kill Mariah Carey, and we'll have no one but Clear Channel to blame.
I've got CDs in my car, but seeing how I am in a store now, it's bring Christmas CDs to listen to on repeat, or put up with the radio.
Just think of it as a helpful money-saving motivator that'll get you in and out fast.
Personally I wear headphones when I'm out shopping by myself.
I wish. I work here.

Why don't people in charge of public places understand that one man's musical meat is another man's musical poison?
I so symathise with you Pasta Chick - it's bad enough for the shoppers, but having to work in a place with tannoy music that you don't like must be a form of torture.
Too much Christmas music! Needed a little audio therapy:

I have a CD in my car and the stores I go to at the mall play rock and post hardcore, mostly. So this year has been good to me in terms of closer-to-christmas-annoyance-ratio.

Bertine Zetlitz - Wicked WonderBoys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNIgDpoSk7c)
The Band. I've always had a soft soft for them, but never as much as now, especially Levon Helm. Here's one of a trio of informal videos of Levon talking about and demonstrating his singing and drumming. This vid focuses on "Life is a Carnival." I think it's amazing that he captures so much of the song with nothing but his drums and his voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adFgQCa4QKs
The Replacements.

Some of them bug me, because I pay too much attention to lyrics (or so I'm told... I think it's important what a song is actually saying). Like, I wouldn't really want my hypothetical daughter thinking they way to get a guy is to be overly modest with no self esteem a'la "That's What Makes You Beautiful."

Thank mental illness for god.
Oh no not the sensible gods anyone reading this may barrack for, I mean the ridiculous gods.
Lou Reed, Street Hassle and Blue Mask again.
QuoteBruce Springsteen contributed spoken vocals during the "Slipaway" section of "Street Hassle", alluding to his own Born to Run album in the final line. At the time, the singer was enduring a three-year forced hiatus from releasing any of his own work due to legal disputes with his former manager, although he was in the process of writing and recording music for his forthcoming album Darkness on the Edge of Town, to be released in June 1978. Springsteen was not credited for his performance in the liner notes to Street Hassle, possibly due to his ongoing legal battles.
Ye, I always thought he sounded like himself.
The few times in my adult life when I thought maybe, just maybe there is a god? I was listening to Miles Davis...Miles it is tonight! TGIF!
This has been one of my favourite tracks for a good while. Molly Nilsson - Whiskey Sour (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAP2N5WlSuQ) It's also the name of one of my favourite cocktails even though I prefer a New York Sour (minus the egg white).
Every Day is Exactly the Same (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqXmaFPn604) by Nine Inch Nails
I've been on a NIN kick myself, lately. Downward Spiral was one of my favorites in high school. Unfortunately his new stuff just does not stack up.
I like the new stuff, just not nearly as much as the older stuff.
For some reason, I always like listening to Piggy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdicwlkWAto) when I drive. It's been in my driving mix since I first heard it.
It's better than most what gets radio airtime, but compared to old NIN it's just meh.
This is ridiculous, but I used to work with a dog named Peg. I would sing Piggy to her, only changing it to Peg or Peggy as needed. She fucking loved it. Specifically Piggy - Songs like Peggy Sue held no such charm for her.
Mozart, bassoon concerto. It's lovely, but very rarely played on the radio. I'm going to have to get a CD.
Holy Mountain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06eddk5ZOrI). Went to my local yesterday and they happened to be playing, was very impressed with them.
I just found a very old, mostly functional, burned copy of God Hates Us All in my car. So that.
Forgot how good it is, despite the rather theatrical lyrics.
Went for a walk with my phone on shuffle. Heard

Do you have a link to that MariaEvri, I'm trying to place the song, but it escapes me?
I'm a big Leonard Cohen fan, and I've alway's love Jeff Buckley's version of his song "Hallelujah (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIF4_Sm-rgQ)". Somewhat recently a Swedish Classical guitarist named Per-Olav Kindgren I follow on both YouTube and now Vimeo has made an arrangement for classical guitar of the same song based on the Jeff Buckley version that I really love.
Here (http://vimeo.com/75697031).
Per-Olav also has a website here (http://www.per-olovkindgren.com) where his and some other composers music is available for purchase and download (Both score and tab).
Check out Eduardo Diaz on YouTube as well, I really enjoy some of his compositions as well and have learned to play 4-5 of his songs.
This one is one of my favorites: "Pensando En Ti" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDbrnw5MwUg)
Per-Olav also plays the same song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhorthocrWk), a version I like a bit better than Eduardo's original and is the way I like to play it.(You can purchase scoring and tabs to Eduardo's songs on Per-Olav's site as well).

No, thank you.
I didn't know about them, they're great.
QuoteTheir music has a particular rumba flamenca style, with pop influences; many songs of the Gipsy Kings fit social dances, such as salsa and rumba. Their music has been described as a place where "Spanish flamenco and Romani rhapsody meet salsa funk".
One of my playlists a sort of bouncy one.

I have been in a voice chat for like 3 hours of the day so I haven't really had time to spend listening to music as I usually would.
Today I woke up and listened to Infest - No Man's Slave, Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck - s/t, Atrax Morgue - Death-Orgasm Connector, Amebix - Arise, Doom - The Peel Sessions, Doom - Bury The Debt (not the dead), Atrax Morgue - Esthetik Of A Corpse, Atrax Morgue - New York Ripper, Atrax Morgue - Slush Of A Maniac. Right now I'm listening to Atrax Morgue - Paranoia.
It may look like I listened to a shit load, but the first two albums that I listened to were only like 10 - 20 minutes long. The rest of them were decent length I think but I usually spend more time listening to music than I did today.

My "going out on the town" music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17IHFr_6yPE
Earlier this week I ran into an old high school friend, someone I hadn't seen for several years. After we talked for a bit and caught up with things he let me know that an old friend of ours had passed away late last year.
I was surprised to hear this, he was only a couple of years older than me, maybe 51 or 52 when he died. Heart-attack. He had three kids and two grandchildren. I didn't really know him that well, or rather we really hadn't stayed in touch over the years; I probably haven't seen him in over 20 years, he was really more of a "friend of a friend", but we certainly had some great times together.
One time that really sticks out to me is from back in the early 80's. A group of us went to see "Humble Pie" at a small theatre in Detroit. Tickets we had weren't that bad, I mean any seats in this theatre were good, and the acoustics were awesome, but him and I decided to try and get as close to the stage as we could, so we snuck are way forward and were able to find two spots right about the 5th row, almost dead center.
The place was packed, filled with smoke and the crowd was jumpy and excited, and the two of us were stoked to be so close to the stage. Then the announcer called out, "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HUMBLE FUCKING PIE"!
And here came Steve Marriott and crew. What a show. At one point the sound system started to fizzle, and finally it just died. Ole' Steve was plenty mad about it, and he tossed a few things around stage as the sound crew scramble to get things corrected, and then Steve simply walked up to the front of the stage and started to sing without a microphone, just his raw voice, and the thing that surprised us more than anything, was above all of that noise we could still hear him, even make out the words to the song, and the crowd got even wilder. (Later even our friends who were still sitting in the back of the theatre said they could hear him)
It was amazing, he was right there almost in front of me, singing, screaming at the top of his lungs. Then the sound came back on and the rest of the band joined in and they played: 30 Days In the Hole

Aaah, that's better! Thank you, PC. ;D
Ole Blue Eyes, just for a change.
Tchaikovsky, the waltz from swan lake, on the radio. Not my favourite, but reasonably easy on the ear.

I opened a Pandora account and made a station featuring Siouxsie and the Banshees, Die Krupps, and Christian Death. Hours of entertainment. Although they are quick to slip back to mainstream - I've been getting more KMFDM, Smiths and Rammstein than anything else.
I just discovered Rammstein, and you know what? I think I like them. I've been repeating over and over Rrrrrrrrrram-stein, and Du--du Hast--Du Hast mich. ;D I heard about them here for the first time, so thanks. :-* My 3 year-old boy does the invisible guitar when he hears them, it's hilarious. :D
^ That's why I love these topics. If you really like Rammstien, I would check out Die Krupps. They are why my station keeps playing Rammstien. I find them a little more interesting - I love Rammstein, but after a few tracks all their songs start to sound the same to me.

Ok, I'll try Die Krupps. I'm really stepping out of my comfort zone here. I've never liked this type of music, but there's something about Till Lindemann's voice (lead vocals), and the way he says them that just 'hypnotizes' me. 8)

Barber is so overused by film and television that for me his music has lost all emotion and become dross.

That's true. I'm remixing that one. It's a marathon project as my skills in simulating an orchestra with my synthesizeres are limited.
I was listening to some very weird noises (http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/11/a-new-acoustic-instrument-that-creates-sounds-like-a-digital-synthesizer/?fb_action_ids=10152825415697889&fb_action_types=og.likes)

Rimsky bloody korsakoff. Scheherazade. Not my favourite, but they'll play something else in a minute.
Today is Monday, I've barely made it to noon, and it's looking as if I may be here late, but " Una Limosna por el Amor de Dios" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLjeG8eGrWI), performed by John Williams is making it tolerable.
Have listen to it twice (So far today) :)

I was at the Market Basket earlier and Return To Pooh Corner got stuck on a loop over the store radio. I almost lost my shit the fourth time around. I'm still a bit traumatized.
Not surprised. Once would drive me to distraction. Musical tastes are such a personal thing, I can't understand why supermarkets and other public places play it. They please nobody.
Some Baroque stuff with lots of trumpets. They'll say what it is at the end. I like Baroque music.

They usually have the most ridiculous stuff playing. Typically I can't shop there without hearing Ricky Martin at least once. I can get over it, possibly because I don't like much top 40 music and never have so I'm used to coping. Unless it's stuck on repeat.
I was standing in the store like, "should I complain about this? Should I just leave? They have to fix it soon. What if they don't? Is this totally weird to complain about?"

Major corporations actually do studies and research to determine what is the best music to play so as to encourage folks to buy and spend more.
Some stores for example tend to play slow music to get you to linger inside and form emotional attachments with brands.
One Asian mall saw an uptick in purchases by pregnant women after it "started playing soothing music from the era when these women were born," marketing expert Martin Lindstrom wrote in his book Brandwashed: Tricks Companies Use to Manipulate Our Minds and Persuade Us to Buy. And, according to Lindstrom, the women said the mall's music continued to have a calming effect on their children even after they were born.
Another study in Scotland found that diners at a restaurant spent more money when slow music was playing, as opposed to fast music. This might be why Starbucks plays jazz and grocery stores play that slow elevator music that OldGit seems to enjoy so much.

I prefer to work with absolutely no music so i can read on my slow time. I have two coworkers who can't work without music, but when I am behind the counter, i don't turn on the radio and no one but my Sunday crew complains about it being 'too quiet.'
Radios often play songs in a loop. Even if it's music i don't mind listening to, when you hear Bon Jovi for the 3rd time in 2 hours, you wanna kick a deer. I'd rather just have silence and everyone can be happy. Fuck music in stores, because it pleases no one.

Years ago when I first started working here I was out in one of the open spaces working in a cubicle, and I had co-workers who worked next to me, there were four of us grouped together in this sort of box. (Now I have an office and I've turned the overhead office-speaker off, and I listen to my own music)
Anyway during the holidays they would play a constant loop of Christmas music starting in early November, most of us hated it. I despised it, to hear those same songs over and over again for weeks at a time was akin to fucking torture.
One of the ladies sitting in our group loved, I mean fucking loved that totally ridiculous song about the hippopotamus, I'm sure you all know the one I'm referring to.
It would play about 4-5 times a day, and each time it came on she would proclaim for all the world to hear, "OMG, I just love this song" (Try to imagine the most annoying, sing-song voice you can imagine, that was her)
Then she would proceed to sing along with the song. After a couple days of this nonsense the remaining three of us in the group were ready to kill her, so we elected one of us to go and speak to her and ask her politely to stop singing along with the song.
Probably was a good thing it wasn't me elected to speak because I would have been less than polite.
She was a little put-off by our request, but a few angry stares made her see the point.
i hate that fucking song to this day.

I feel so bad for workers who are forced to listen to xmas music. We just have a general radio and keep it on the rock and oldies stations, so it even if it's on, i control the volume, so it doesn't bother me and we don't have to talk over the customers. Being forced to listen to shitty music on a loop with no volume control should be considered a form of torture. That's awful.
Agreed.
Maybe the effects on sales happen when the customer isn't conscious of the music. Sometimes you can suddenly become aware of music that has been playing all along. I like to think I am immune to this sort of influence, but the figures seem to suggest otherwise. Does it make any difference if you know about these psychological tricks I wonder?

Not now, but last night we went to a lovely concert of English Renaissance choral music in the Cathedral. Mainly Byrd, Tallis and Gibbons.
No microphones or amplifiers, but that choir of ten filled the big space with beautiful sound; even the odd solo piece came across more than adequately. Properly trained singers in a well-designed acoustic space need no electricity at all.

That sounds lovely, I would really enjoy something like that, I'm full of envy.
By "Cathedral" do you mean a specific famous Cathedral or something local to where you live?
Sorry, I should have said Hereford Cathedral. We live a few miles from Hereford, so to us it's THE cathedral.

That's a pretty impressive Cathedral, and I can imagine the acoustics aren't too shabby either. (I just love to visit old Churches and Cathedrals like this) and they have a rather decent website with an online 360 degree tour you can take which was really cool, I swear I could smell the centuries of burning incense (Not to mention OldGits aftershave)
Would love to visit, maybe someday.
Here's a link to the website. (http://www.herefordcathedral.org)
Thanks, Bruno, that's not a bad virtual tour. Mrs Git and I have spent quite a few hours in there over the last 20 years, and we like it although it's quite small for one of the original Norman purpose-built cathedrals and has not been sympathetically treated by Victorian restorers.

Budapest
Song by George Ezra
My house in Budapest
My hidden treasure chest,
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo
For you
You
I'd leave it all
My acres of a land
I have achieved
It may be hard for you to,
Stop and believe
But for you
You
I'd Leave it all
Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away
My many artifacts
The list goes on
If you just say the words
I'll up and run
Oh, to you
You
I'd leave it all
Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away
Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change

He's got a really cool voice, which seems way more mature than his age.
I think he sounds about right. King Krule is the first person that ever shocked me in the difference in who they looked (age) and how they sound. edit: oh and Jamie Lidell, that is like watching the guy out of Always Sunny in Philadelphia but sounds like Stevie Wonder.

I think it is because his voice sort of reminded me of Keb Mo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgu2BG3G3i0), and there is 40 years difference between him and George. I guess it's not that his voice sounds "Old" to me actually, but I hear experience in the voice. Like I hear in Keb. Anyway he is interesting and has my attention, only just heard about him.

I disagree, I think the storyline is great, it's not a typical princess needs a handsome prince to rescue her; the songs are very catchy; characters like a summer loving snowman are fabulous.

I agree 100%, I thought it was lame and the talking snowman was just flat out annoying. Disney has become trite and boring.

I see that but it isn't exactly the first time Disney has done the self empowered female character, maybe Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Snow White stand out more but there have been some very strong females in Disney films. Fa Mulan kicked all the asses, Pocahontas, Princess Eilonwy, Ariel, Nala and Belle saved the men in their respective films.

You know more than me, I'd forgotten all about Eilonwy! It maybe helped that I saw Frozen in the cinema with scamp, perhaps you need that excitement of a 6year old to get fully into it. There have been some good female charcters in Disney in the past but the underlying theme is usually princess falls in love with a prince and they get together in the end. Frozen is really about sisterly love not romantic love.

I know what you mean. :D
You know more about classical music than I do so I would like to ask you something. They're all playing the same notes, but the intensity and the speed is a bit different. Does this have anything to do with the years of experience, their personalities, or is it just the passion they put behind it? Some sound better than others, I think, well, maybe not better, but a lot smoother.
I think it's all those things rolled up. Really just personal interpretation. Musicians are supposed to play the notes as written, but exactly how is up to the soloist or, in the orchestra, the conductor. That's the theory, anyway. ;) Note, however, that the pitch is always bang on, and that's not with the help of modern software.
I entirely agree that there is a lot of difference between these performances, and some suit some people more than others.

The one I thought was the smoothest is at the 7 minute mark of the video. The most intense one is the blond woman at the 2:35-minute mark.
Mario Lanza, the best tenor voice I've ever heard, better even than Pavarotti.
Makaya McCravens recent album In The Moment, which was improvised at first then cut and edited for the album. I like the method in which it has be arranged and captures the feel of older music where it was all performed in one room whilst having decent production values without feeling sterile in the slightest, which for me has became something of a massive issue in modern jazz and rock music which in recorded form loses all of its spontaneity and excitement. Urgh so much is over produced these days and loses all character.

I was incredulous, and my son thanked me for putting the song in his girlfriend's head as he was about to drive her home and she was humming the tune.

I'm sitting in a coffee shop, as i needed to get some work done this afternoon, but after the week I've had I'm surprisingly relaxed at the moment.
Dark roasted coffee is good, and although it is cold outside the sun is shining, and there isn't a cloud in the sky, which is a beautiful and strange colour I've never noticed before.
Some people here in the coffee shop described the color as being "Baloo", not sure of the spelling, possibly it is "Breau"?
Finished with work and was just sitting here enjoying the view (Watching birds fly around and nibble at some bird food some guy just tossed onto the ground), while listening to some random songs on iTunes when the following song came on.
Suite Espanola Op 47:1 "Granada" - Isaac Albéniz (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkcEbxN8Fo0)
One of my favorites pieces, perfect timing.
Little moments like this in life can make up for a lot of things.
I have been listening to Paul Potts [operatic style tenor with charismatic personality who won a TV talent show a few years back which changed his life] Also went to a concert [gig ???] given by Australian Pink Floyd which was great. Full house.
That Albéniz piece is lovely.

Well I put on a Springsteen CD as "Larry-the-New" guy got me thinking about the Erie Canal with one of his posts yesterday. This song is from his album "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions"
A great album, this song is called, "Erie Canal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roqhd3yG3Qk)".
Probably my favorite song on the album, and which I personally think is one of the most beautiful and lovely romantic songs ever is: Shenandoah (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd1i_ZoSGTk).
That's Springsteen's version above, here is Sissel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1EG_4IBzbA) from Norway's version.
Here are the lyrics.
O Shenandoah, I long to hear you Away, you rolling river O Shenandoah, I long to hear you Away, I'm bound away 'Cross the wide Missouri
Missouri, she's a mighty river Away, you rolling river The Indians camp along her borders Away, I'm bound away 'Cross the wide Missouri
The white man loved an Indian maiden Away, you rolling river With notions his canoe was laden Away, I'm bound away 'Cross the wide Missouri
O Shenandoah, I love your daughter Away, you rolling river For her I've crossed the rolling water Away, I'm bound away 'Cross the wide Missouri
Seven long years I courted Sally Away, you rolling river Seven more I longed to have her Away, I'm bound away 'Cross the wide Missouri
Farewell, my dear, I'm bound to leave you Away, you rolling river O Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you Away, I'm bound away 'Cross the wide Missouri

I remember Falco from the 80's, wasn't a fan at all, but he was popular at some of the dance clubs I used to frequent, but I don't remember this song at all or the controversy over it.

I posted a piece earlier by Michael Chapdelaine (Hozier's - Take Me to Church)
This is Michael performing
Capricho Arabe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_IyslZBfQg) by Tarrega, which is a wonderful, and one of my favorite versions of this song.
Michael studied with Segovia (Master's class) and here is a clip of him being asked to
leave by Segovia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiAbqfaYGwk) himself because he didn't like how Michael had changed his arrangement.

I would be pressed to find anything other than music that can drive away feelings of depression and despair. Strangely it is the more melancholy songs that can accomplish that for me.
Socorro's thinks most of the music I listen to frequently is sad, or as she calls it, depressing, but I beg to differ.
Is there anything else in the world that can match our emotions as closely as music?

To honour our latest Swiss member (Brave Patato), I've been listening to one of the best albums of one of the Swiss bands of all times.
It is Yello's 1985 album Stella. One of my favourite songs on it is Desire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGopZjakUeA)

Here's the correct

Great, either the video's are blocked (due to the Youtube copyright licensing war with GEMA) or Youtube tells me that they performing a software upgrade, which makes it no longer compatible with my device (a 1st generation iPod). It is time to throw that piece of shit hardware out of the window anyway, because it crashes every five minutes when surfing the web.

Gymnopédie No 1 by Erik Satie, has been my favorite for a very long time. Remember I asked you about it in a PM? One of the pianist at work used to play it all the time. I asked her what the piece was called and she said it was
Jeux D'enfants by Georges Bizet, but she was wrong. >:( I never saw her again, so there was no way of knowing what it was called. I couldn't even google it because...well, how do you find classical music? No artist, no title, no lyrics--Hello!? ::)
One day I played a CD, at home, and there it was!
Quote from: Mags..well, how do you find classical music? No artist, no title, no lyrics--Hello!?
Over here I'm always tuned to one of the exclusively classical music radio stations, so the one I'm looking for will eventually pop up. If necessary I check the station's website to get full details. I'm sure you have such stations where you are.
I'm now listening to a Mozart piano concerto, but I couldn't remember the number. A quick look-up gave me No 21 in Cmaj, 2
nd movement.

The other option which I think is better would be Spotify.
But if you don't know the name or composer?
Quote from: OldGit on May 15, 2015, 07:29:06 PM

Use spotify radio or playlists. If there is an artist you like, say Satie as that has been used and you want similar music you go to their artist page and click the circle with the dots the "start artist radio". This is what I got doing that:
Gymnopedia No. 1 - Erik Satie
Liebesträume No. 3 - Franz List
Dance of the Knights - Sergei Prokofiev
Caresse - Erik Satie
Vers la flamme, Op.72 - Alexander Scriabin
Great Pianola music: On the Great Divide - John Adams
Metamorphosis 4: Philip Glass
Nocterne in C-Sharp Minor - Chopin
Rhapsody in Blue - Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra
Vertables Preludes Flasques - Satie
Nocterne in G Minor - Chopin
The Planets, Op. 32: III. Mercury the Winged Messenger - Gustav Holst
The Girl with the Flaxen Hair - Debussy
and just keeps going on and on. It will usually tailor the stations to you slightly depending on what you listen to as I got more minamalism, avant-garde, and contemporary classical than what I would have expected from that selection.
Once you have used it for a while the discover section is very good and you also have the related artists panel as well.
My go to album lately has been M83's "Hurry Up We're Dreaming".

"Midnight City" is my favorite song from this album. It's definitely in my top 3 favorite songs ever.
That sounds like a useful facility, Crow, thanks very much for pointing it out.
M83 is the best ever.

I thought it technically pretty poor, the sound was often bad and at times the player had to slow down to manage some phrases. Why the hell did BBC Radio 3 bother to play that?

In general, I prefer Prokofiev and Mussorgsky to Tchaikovsky. But for pure joy of listening, I find Debussy, Ravel, Rhespighi, RVWilliams, Stravinsky, Rachmaninoff, Copeland and Gershwin pretty damn unbeatable.
I dabble in the great mythologists, but return to the impressionists.
Milhaud, Massenet, Ravel, Debussy.

I admit there are a lot of good composers in that list, even if they were born after 1820. ;D
I'm very fond of Copland and Gershwin. To me, Tschaikovsky is just glitter, the decoration on the xmas tree.

Nice...
I always try to catch Millennium of Music, a weekly radio show hosted by Robert Aubry Davis...
I've been playing Miles Davis all morning, started with Porgy and Bess, than Amandla, and now Sketches of Spain.
Concierto De Aranjuez (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSGUPsAeL34)
I love this music. Well love is probably the wrong word, don't really know the right word to describe jazz, or how much I enjoy listening to Miles. I have more of his music, CD's even some old records than any other musician.
Miles said that, "Jazz is the big brother of Revolution. Revolution follows it around".
I like that. Jazz is not the beginning, nor is it the end, and it's not quite the middle. It's like how Steinbeck describes dusk,..."the time between sunset and the lighting of the street light. There is a small quiet gray period then."
The gray period is Jazz, and Miles is the short pause between breathes.
I was listening to the musical Chess (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdjeO7jh8e0)
Now I'm listening to some Dutch pop music from the 80's, like Golden Earring - When The Lady Smiles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYxp6OIEZlk)

Radiant, that mediaeval music is lovely.
Yes, attractive enough, though the odd time signature makes it difficult to grasp a melody.
A little googling on the matter reveals that the everyday street music of the era is lost to history. Mostly, what remains of musical notation is church music and forms the basis of our idea of what 'medieval music' sounds like. Furthermore, much of the annotation of time signatures (mensural notation) is contextual and without any available translation the 'flavour' of the music will probably never be reconstructed for modern ears.
Also, they don't have the old instruments; the mediaeval Griboons, the Scroppits and Whurglers cannot be substituted for by modern kazoos, mouth-organs and bum trumpets.
Me thinks if I have time today I will go and pick up this new release from Sir Elvis Costello.
Unfaithful Music & Soundtrack Album
(http://dearbornmusic.net/Item/9007685214)
This certainly brings back memories. Saw Sir Elvis back in the early to mid 80's here in Ann Arbor, MI. at the Hill Auditorium...vaguely remember details about the concert...believe we took some shrooms that evening,...but what a time we had. Must have been 10 of us crowded into a friends van as we drove from Detroit to Ann Arbor.
Spent the night afterward the show on campus at the University of Michigan at a friends dorm...couldn't find our other friends the next day so girlfriend and I had to hitch-hike back Detroit.
Then her and I had to drive back to our university all the way across state...hardly enough money for gas...tired as shit, no food, fucking heater in my car wasn't working, so we had to wrap ourselves in blankets for the 2.5 hour ride .
Best of times.

Right, most of the music we have from early music eras are church music, because they kept a much better record of music. (There's also the probably pretty obvious fact that a lot of music was not played by sheet, so no record of it even exists).
Sadly, that limits the amount of instrumental music, too, because for a fair amount of time the church looked down on instruments, thinking that vocals are the only (pardon the pun) voice for God.
The church has always been against everything good. Lol.
Not to say that vocal music is not great, because it is. The majority of early music I have and listen to is polyphonic choral music from the Renaissance. Such gorgeous music.
It's my turn to feel happy...right now...with the aid of Malbec Chile wine. ;)

Same old argument or are they using fresh material?
Normally, it's their greatest hits. "Drunk again? Imagine that!" "Why don't you find a job?" But lately, there have been some sure to be future classics. "Why are you spending so much time with my brother?" And the heart wrenching "I don't know how much more of this I can take."

Been listening to some Nina Simone tonight, just picking through some of the CD's I have.
Takes me back to nights sipping on martinis in the small, but vibrant smoke filled clubs down in what was called the Rivertown area of Detroit, places like the Soup Kitchen, Woodbridge Tavern, BC's, Rivertown Saloon, and the Rhinoceros Club.
They're all gone now, pushed out by the big casino's in the early 2000. Some of these clubs and taverns had existed since the prohibition era. My two favorites were the Soup Kitchen, and the Rhinoceros Club.
Bands like the Robert Noll Blues Mission, James Glass, Buddy Guy, Duke Tumatoe, Buddy Rich and Matt "Guitar" Murphy to name a few. (I sat a table directly in front of Matt while he played the blues only feet away from me. Most folks will recognize him from the Blues Brothers Movie)
Anyway back to Nina Simone, I
want need to find a copy of her live recording front the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival where she sang and performed songs such as this one "Ain't Got No/i Got Life". Awesome...
Same song, but performed a year earlier in London.

I like this song by Hozier a lot, are you familiar with this acoustic version by Michael Chapdelaine? I don't often go for acoustic/instrumental covers of songs, but this one by Michael really captures the essence of the song with his fingerstyle technique, I think it one of his best covers, in fact I believe I posted this version here before.
Funny thing about this song by Hozier. When it first hit the air-ways it was of course extremely popular, and was getting a lot of airplay on both the popular and indie stations,and a growing number of those who really liked the song were Christians who really loved the whole, "Take Me To Church" chorus.
But then some pastors and religious leaders actually took the time to read the lyrics, and started to realize that it's not actually a pro-christian song at all, and doubled down on the meaning of the lyrics and began to discuss it at services because so many of their young people were enjoying the song.
In fact a pastor wrote an open
letter (http://www.christianpost.com/news/a-pastors-open-letter-to-hozier-and-his-take-me-to-church-song-135050/) to Hozier in response to the lyrics.
Here's another Christian leader's take on the song and his translation of the lyrics, which he deems pretty blasphemous.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
Here's Hozier's own words on it:
'Take Me to Church' is essentially about sex, but it's a tongue-in-cheek attack at organizations that would... undermine humanity by successfully teaching shame about sexual orientation — that it is sinful, or that it offends God... But it's not an attack on faith... it's an assertion of self, reclaiming humanity back for something that is the most natural and worthwhile.
I like that cover, thanks for posting. :smilenod:
The reason this song is pretty blasphemous is one of the reasons I like it so much. :P

Davin and Siz have good taste. :popcorn:
OK then, y'all like that one, try this - a little more contemplative but not moving far from the theme:
I'd love to discover any more stuff like this if you have any suggestions...
To Siz, Here are some older tracks that use glitch from different genres.
Minimal techno. His other stuff isn't really like this but the rest of the stuff on this album is.
[youtube width=200]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTvCJT7BlKs[/youtube]
There is loads by Autechre which is IDM but you have to sift through a lot and seeing how diverse and experimental there music is it could take a while, they go slightly normal to pretty much pure noise.
[youtube width=200]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLXzSefzVWU[/youtube]
edIT, this is pretty much the album that started the glitch side of the EDM genre that glitchmob and that are a part of.
[youtube width=200]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iimujttqr_A[/youtube]
Prefuse 73, experimental hip hop. Not the pioneer but my first introduction to the sounds and pretty much everything slightly glitch gets filtered through the lens of the One World Extinguisher album because it was so different anything I had listened to at the time.
[youtube width=200]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pZznNedGjM[/youtube]
There are loads more that touch on the genre but too lazy to post videos to them. Musicians like Daedalus, Machine Drum, Venetian Snares (if you are into mental his stuff might be your thing), Neil Landstrum, Amon Tobin, Ital Tek, World's End Girlfriend. I seriously could go on for ages so will stop but if there is a particular genre of music you enjoy you can usually find somebody doing glitch stuff within it as it is less of a genre these days and more about the kinds of sounds. I personally prefer the IDM and instrumental/experimental hip hop stuff but whatever floats your boat really.
Thanks Crow. Prefuse, I know and like. Nice though it is, that's all a bit gentle for my taste (I know Miracle by Blackmill is quite 'ambient' but I like the futuristic feel). I prefer the more aggressive, dystopian-chaotic vibe of Glitch Mob, She and (early) Skrillex. Always loved Deadmau5 too who I think are the most talented songwriters of their genre (whatever you choose to call it...)
A nice performance of Mozart's clarinet concerto by that Julian Bliss bloke.

No flipping idea what they call it these days, last time I heard it was EDM as it was essentially a big mix up of different genres, but the pigeon holes around music are always changing. But you might be into the Breakcore or Miami Bass stuff.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

If you like futuristic ambient music I suggest giving the Deus Ex: Human Revolution soundtrack a try, if you haven't heard it already.

Mirror's Edge soundtrack (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y05wiQQbFLU) (which is by Solar Fields), if you want something that is futuristic ambient but is very different then check out the Akira soundtrack (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyC5RKzQm9I) which is by Shoji Yamashiro.

Crow recommended Spotify to OldGit and me a long time ago. He was right and No one is right, "Spotify is like Pandora, except it doesn't suck!"
I had been listening to Miles Davis earlier this evening and was going to post something of his music, but then I saw Dave Brubeck's, "Time Out" album, an popped that in.
This track, "Take Five" was, and possibly still is the best-selling jazz single of all time. It certainly has resonated for a long time among jazz fans.
Actually good music to dance to...
Oh, the nostalgia... :tellmemore:
Linkin Park's "Reanimation" is their best album to date, in my opinion. I would listen to this stuff over and over again when I was in my late teens. 8)

This 45minute track is the final piece of Kate Bush's most excellent Aeriel album (2005). One of her moodiest and best albums IMO - even when compared to her 1980's brilliance as well as some decent later offerings.
(I think I might have posted this one a few years ago, but it couldn't hurt to bump it...)
Perfect for a lazy Saturday pm just chilling while both kids are elsewhere.
I was unfamiliar with this artist until a couple days ago, really enjoy her cover of "Crazy" and "La Vie en Rose".
...and "Creep".
She's running out again,
She's running out...
She run run run run...
Run...

Personally, I think Ed Sheeran is vastly overrated. That song is OK to listen to, but that other one they played way too much on the radio...
QuoteAnd, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
Will he stop loving the person he sings to the day he turns 70 as he implies? How does he know that with such precision? What's mysterious about a touch of a hand? Why does he fall out of love every single day to fall in it again the next day? Why does his heart fall hard? Is not the love of which he sings in this song returned?

I like most Verdi and Mozart operas
Georgy Sviridov "Songs of Kursk"
I don't know how authentic this singing of middle English is, but it is interesting that it sounds Germanic to me. (that would make sense to me based on the fact that the Anglo-Saxons invaded and essentially created what we now know as England, but... I know close to nothing about the development of English).
Enough about the language though, I'm addicted to this song. It's awesome.

Sharon Jones. She passed away yesterday at the age of 60. If you've never heard of her, check her out, she was an amazing soul singer. I got to see her three times, once after her cancer diagnosis and dealing with chemo, and every time she brought the house down. Some of the best shows I've ever seen.

Here's one of my faves with the same name:
I like that one. I've only been familiar with this Cherry Poppin Daddies song
Zoot Suit's their most famous, I think. They also did "Jump in the Line" for Beatlejuice.
They've got some great songs. The music and lyrics are at odds in many of them, and that's part of the appeal for me.
Bleeding Ceremony is another good one (as long as you're not in a depressed mood, that is)

I have bought a Cambridge Audio CXN netework player and I am ripping all my CDs to FLAC files. I am discovering music I have not listened to for years because it is now so easy to scroll through the tracks and selecting what I want to hear. So much easier than putting CDs into the player. So, lately I have been listening to a lot of music I forgot I owned, and I am like a little kid in a candy store.
My car media player cannot play FLAC files, but it is easy to convert any tracks to MP3 and copy them onto a USB stick to play in the car.

Since it is Christmas, here's one of my favorite songs as a boy, along with one of my all-time favorite artists (D. Bowie), the other bloke isn't bad either.
I remember watching this live for the first time on the TV as a small child, surprisingly more familiar at the time with Bing Crosby than I was with the music of David Bowie...sort of ironic I suppose.
I suppose at this time of year more than others I'm even more of a sentimentalist, and it's the music more than anything that draws outs the memories of days long gone. I pay for it though, dwelling on Christmas's past,... thoughts of Father, Mother, Grandpa and Nanna...if you really allow these memories to revisit you'll find along with the cherished thoughts which come pouring in the grief and loss and days never to be again will also visit upon one's mind.
Oscar Wilde said it best I suppose:
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
My Grandparents decorated their home for the holidays in a manner that my memories tell me is unmatched by anyone today, the tree with it's soft lights, candles lit throughout the home, wreaths and buntings of fresh cut pine and fir, garlands of berries, glass ornaments shaped as icicles hanging from the archways...but my favorite article and decoration in their home was the small and ancient military drum my Grandfather would place at the base of the tree each year as decoration. To my child's mind it begged to be played, but it's age, and surely the temperament and sanity of my grandparents meant it was only to be looked at and never touched.
It was somewhat similar to this one in shape and size, though it had a more American graphic:

My son was surprised to come home one day to find I had their music playing quite loudly on the stereo...anyway I like this cover Miss Magdalena thanks for sharing, Tyler has a good voice. I sent a copy to my son to listen, and he said he and his friends really enjoyed it.

I doubt it. The guy would be in his seventies-eighties by now - maybe older. Finnish Symphonic Metal with German vocals is not all that popular with the older audience.
That said, the lyrics are far from the worst I've heard, but personally, I think it's the cellos and Nina Hagen's vocals that make an otherwise mediocre song a lot better.
Rag'n'Bone Man - Human
My son introduced my to this song and artist, love it.

Tis' a lovely melody Magdalena, sweet and soothing to both the ears and eyes...in fact this weekend I'm attending High-Tea at a museum as a guest of a local women's club (My departed mother was a founding member and I help them out when I can) .
The ladies asked me to perform on my guitar, and I had planned to provide them with a mixture of light classical and flamenco styled music for about 30 minutes, but now I think I'll just put together a mix tape of "die antwoord", and if possible provide some video.
Should be a lovely afternoon.
I like that song.

As if the music of Abba didn't suck enough, here's a cover band making it even worst, but maybe fitting for today and dickhead's inauguration.
For some reason, I am lately drawn to some old anti-authority industrial music...

Heh, uh, yeah lets do that.
I'm listening to Alice Cooper's "Welcome 2 My Nightmare". Not to be confused with "Welcome To My Nightmare" as this is the sequel album. It's kind of like "Million Dollar Baby" mixed with "Posion".
I'm not as impressed as I was with the original WTMN but it's still good.
Edit: The songs - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk-Ae5yhUGhvzpn1AJeyetFFFHHO64ruO
I used to listen to Alice Cooper as a young teen, isn't he a young teen thing?
I find it interesting, that -
"Steve Hunter – guitar
Prakash John – bass an impressive moustache
Dick Wagner - guitar"
Those guys played on Lou Reed's Rock'n Roll Animal and then went to work with Alice.

I guess yeah he's a teen thing, especially his earlier songs but I'm not too familiar with the members of his band or the general knowledge people seem to have of music. I just know I like it so I listen to it.
I plan on getting the two albums of W2MN and MTMN for my Dad's birthday and a Bull statue cuz he saw one at the mexican restaurant we like years ago and wanted one ever since. But I will make him choose between the 2 and save the other for Christmas.

David Bowie released his single "Sound And Vision" 40 years ago today, 11 Feb 1977 off his "Low" album. It was his first collaboration with Brian Eno. I loved this album when it cam out. I was 12 and starting to discover music on my own at this time. Not one of his more popular or widely known songs or albums, it is still to this day a favorite.
I can still hear my dad yelling from the top of our basement stairs for me to turn down the stereo

yeah 21 pilots is my newest favorite band. However you just connected two of my other favorite bands and one of my favorite movies.
Get out of my head!
Seriously tho, The first time I ever got high I sat in my darkened room and listened to Trinity Session over and over for a couple of hours. I saw them perform in Knoxville a few years later. Great show. First time I saw Natural Born Killers, my girlfriend and I ate a couple of hits of LSD before we went into the theater. The whole time we both thought maybe we got some bunk paper until we walked out into the lobby and realized that....yes....the acid had kicked in at some point. So, a few days later we went back to watch the movie sober. Then it felt like an acid trip. It's weird I know.
I don't know how you feel about blue grass but I just stumbled upon an awesome cover band. Check it out.
Apparently there is a whole movement in the blue grass genre covering everything from classic rock to heavy metal and hip hop.

Very nice posting Mr B...not sure if you and I have ever interacted here on the forum before now, but I would like to welcome you.
I love Bluegrass, even been to the Michigan Bluegrass Music Festival a couple times, and am going to try and attend this summer if I can...believe it is towards the end June up in Charlotte, MI.
Thanks again for posting, as I'm always happy when I discover new music or bands, and I like "Steve'n Seagulls" cover below of Thunderstruck (And I'm not even a big ACDC fan, I know how horrible...sorry :P)

Hello there my old friend
Not so long ago it was till the end
We played outside in the pourin' rain
On our way up the road we started over again
You're livin' out dreams of you on top
My mind is achin' oh lord it won't stop
that's how it happened livin' life by the drop
Up and down the road in our worn out shoes
Talkin' 'bout good things and singin' the blues
You went your way and I stayed behind
We both knew it was just a matter or time
You're livin' out dreams of you on top
My mind is achin' oh lord it won't stop
that's how it happened life by the drop
No waste of time we're allowed today
Churnin' up the past, there's no easier way
Times been between us,a means to a end
God its good to be here walkin' together my friend
Livin' our dreams
My mind stoped achin'
that's how it happened livin' life by the drop
Good night you crazy bastards. ;)
"You say the hill's too steep to climb,
Chiding!
You say you'd like to see me try,
Climbing!
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
The hill in my own way
just wait a while, for the right day
And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down hear the sound of the things you said today
Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling
Merciless, the magistrate turns 'round, frowning
and who's the fool who wears the crown
Go down in your own way
And everyday is the right day
And as you rise above the fearlines in his frown
You look down
Hear the sound of the faces in the crowd "
Meddle was one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums for a while, I remember discovering it around 10 years after it released when I was a junior in high school.
I had a fairly decent stereo system in the basement of my parents home, and I pushed the limits of their tolerance many a time with both the volume of the music, and of course the choice of the music itself.
I hear an old track like this, and sometimes I can still hear either mom or pop yelling at me from the top of the stairs to "Turn that racket down".
Finally had to invest in a good pair of headphones, a purchase which precipitated my folks habit of turning the stairway lights on and off in rapid-succession in order to get my attention when I was down there "Spacing Out to My Music" as they like to say.
Dad actually like a couple Pink Floyd songs (Money and one other, but I forget), which may simply was the result in my playing albums like "Meddle" over, and over, and over...much of it he simply couldn't get or ever appreciate. Different generation. He fought in the war. You know, the "Big One".
Last thing he ever said to me, the night before he died was from the top of the stairway, " Goodnight, don't stay up too late, and keep it down".
Sorry for the rumination, but I haven't heard this song in a long time.
Sooner than wait for
A break in the weather,
I'll gather my far-flung
Thoughts together

Thanks for posting Mr. B (Pink isn't much appreciated here at HAF, most likely you'll be banned for this :o)
Father Bruno, I think you and I could suss the meaning of life itself through our stories revolving around music. That is something worth appreciating.
If this forum had a "karma" system or some way of giving people a thumbs up I would give everyone a +1 for the last few contributions.
I love Chet Faker. It's really hard to decide which version of "No Diggity" is better. I am a sensitive new age cow person and I always walk this way.
I wish I had the time to respond to each of you individually. But I don't.
So. I just gotta say...I am happy to have found a group of people who appreciate music as much as I do.
Check this one out, It's not a cover band. It's an amalgam of some of the finest musicians to grace this earth.
And yes, that is Yo-Yo Ma.
Chris Thile was in a band called Nickle Creek many years ago. They were scheduled play at our local Blue Plum festival in Johnson City, TN. Before the festival they received their first grammy for their first album but they did not cancel their stop in this po dunk town or ask for more money. They simply played.
So many things to say right now. I'm too excited and work comes early.
Okay, listen. The community I grew up and currently live in is an active musical community. There is a fellow in this band who has been to my house...or at least my parents house. He was a good friend of my sister who has a music master in voice performance.
They have also won a couple of grammies.

Oh, I love them and especially Roger Waters. He is only 3 years older than me - in his twenties I though he was so sexy and I was quite in love with him. So some of us at HAF do appreciate Pink Floyd, even the older ones like me.

I've got Wet Dream on vinyl, you could borrow Rumours, Hotel California, Dark Side and make a tape.
You had to buy the marginal, I've got a Gilmour album too, they're both OK but I haven't listened to either for a while.
I'm listening to Jimmy Cliff Rebirth
I find it accessible.

Mr B, I agree. Yes my life, especially my early life is very distinctly related to music and how I interacted with it.
They say complex emotions and memory can be triggered by sensory cues when we smell certain things, such as a particular perfume, or for me the smell of radiated heat coming from a home heated by a steam boiler. (I walk into an old home still heated by radiators and it's like getting slapped in the face with a whole swarm of childhood memories)
Anyway music has the same affect on me, like when I listened to your earlier posting of Pink Floyd. Nothing soothes my troubled soul and mind better than music, it's been a constant companion to me my entire life.

Hey! That's Yo-Yo Ma 8)
That was a wonderful piece, and of course immediately upon hearing it had to look up and see what's going on with this trio of Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile and come to find out they will be in Ann Arbor, just outside Detroit at the
Hill Auditorium (http://tickets.ums.org/single/SelectSeating.aspx?p=3150&) in April. Alas, the show is sold out already, but I'm hopeful that I may be able to still score some tickets to this as it's a great venue to see a concert.
I was thinking it should be a rule of this thread that you can't post a comment without leaving a song behind as well.
So in honor of that glorious day of February 23rd,1944 when in Beaumont TX a Mr. John Dawson Winter III was born.
...other wise know as "Johnny Winter"
I give you "Mean Town Blues".

Yeah I was going to say I would have liked to hear other than American music as well.
Another one in my top five.
I remember the first time I saw them perform live in 1996, Lollapalooza, Nashville, Starwood Amphitheater. Shirtless and shoe less. In the pit with my arms spread out like Jesus and banging my head against the air in front of me. Only one woman dared enter my protected domain. She stepped up in front of me and gyrated her butt on my crotch while I raged against the machine in my own particular way at that time.
Now I'm just trying to find a better way.

Haha that picture is great. I heard about the thing on the news last night and I went to YouTube to find it. It wasn't as bad as they said it was. They made it out like he actually fired a gun at a Donald look alike. He's done far worse in the past, like the porn he did to add to his music video. I agree it's standard of him to do things like this but he's done far worse.
I've found some live streams of music and put them into a playlist. Mostly melo type stuff with hip hop beats. It's just like listening to a radio without are or that stupid dj, or that annoying thing they put in the back of the tracks to make it sound original sometimes.

I don't really understand the controversy aside from DT obviously having quite thin skin. The "haha it was a clown gun" gag is quite old and obviously not meant as an actual assassination or he would have actually died instead of being tied up in the next scene.

No politics, just a little philosophy, or solipsism. I don't know which.
Once upon a time I posed a question to my nephew. I said that since evolution is an ongoing process with no end and with the understanding that animals do communicate with each other...which species do you think is now on the cusp of gaining self awareness? Think about it. As we destroy ourselves, nature will find a way to survive. The end of humanity is not necessarily the end of the world. What do you think the Tigers are telling each other about us? Are we gods to them? What if someday they develop the ability to communicate verbally? What if they learn to read and write? What are they going to tell their children about us?
Seems lately that maybe my question was misapplied. Perhaps I should have been asking that question about AI.
What will computers think of us once they become self aware?
I'm still on a retro wave kick.
Not sure if a lot of folks here like Moby, but I really, really love this live version of "The Perfect Life".
Starting with the crowd participation in the beginning, especially as Moby's guitar player leads the crowd in a practice run of the chorus, singing kind of softly, sort of "off key" as he finds his range (.22 mark); and then the song really kicks off at the (2:42 mark) as Mindy Jones beautiful and powerful voice kicks in (She finishes the song off even stronger, simply an amazing singer and talent)
I also really enjoy Moby's guitar solo around the 5:10 mark, it's a beautiful accompaniment to the song. Sure compared to other guitar players he probably not as accomplished or technically gifted, and he makes a few small mistakes in the solo, but I guess that's what I really like about it, sort of raw and inspirational, like the song itself.
Anyway I find the song uplifting, it certainly can help lift you out of doldrums or gloomy guss of life....leastways it does me 8)

Yeah Iz is cool, I remember the first time I heard one of his songs, it was used in an NPR story as background music, and I was so taken by his voice and melody that I had to find out who he was by researching the NPR story. (Before Shazam)
I think it was his cover of What a Wonderful World.

Alright already you guys. What is so objectionable about Abba? They do actual music with the essential elements of rhythm, lyric, melody, and harmony. Not only that...for guys at least, both of those two Swedish chicks are hotties. Contrast what they do with American hard rock and one compares acceptable music composition and adequate performance with cacophonous, mentally injurious,, emotionally tortuous, ear splitting, noises that is so typical of mod rock.
The thing about music is you can like lots of different types. I love Abba to sing along to in the car.

I know exactly what you mean. Their album "It's My Life" is one of the best albums made in the 1980s.
You've made me go back in time... :tellmemore:
Remember this one?
Ever since Bruce mentioned ZZ Top, I've had this stuck in my head (not that I mind) --
That video takes me back in so many ways.
^ I love that ZZ-Top song

I do too, but holy crap what were we thinking of back then with the big hair and gym clothes worn as street clothes?
Darn it! I'm stuck in the 80's! :grrr:
Where are my green/orange/fuchsia neon earring hoops!?
The only thing I remember from the '80s is my mother listening to Tina Turner tapes.
I just found out May 6th was Bob Seger's 72nd birthday. Happy Birthday to him.

Alright already you guys. What is so objectionable about Abba? They do actual music with the essential elements of rhythm, lyric, melody, and harmony. Not only that...for guys at least, both of those two Swedish chicks are hotties. Contrast what they do with American hard rock and one compares acceptable music composition and adequate performance with cacophonous, mentally injurious,, emotionally tortuous, ear splitting, noises that is so typical of mod rock.
Icarus, my dear old friend, please know I love you still in spite of your comment above, and regardless of how much it pains me to read.
I could really spend an abhorrent amount of time listing the endless objectionable reasons to hate Abba and their cheesy disco pop, clod-hopping rhythms, along with their absolutely no style, pop-disco fashion horror, but it pains me to have to do so, and I simply do not have the spoons currently on hand to endure this type of spurious, and painful exercise.
So I will defer to the following article written by Neil McCormick for the Telegraph,
Abba: no thank you for the music (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journalists/neil-mccormick/3557871/Abba-no-thank-you-for-the-music.html)
Here are some choice quotes from the article that mimic my own feeling on the subject:
QuoteEverything that is contrived and corny about pop is to be found in Abba. As song titles such as Honey Honey, and Money, Money, Money, and (surely you remember this one) I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do suggest, the prosaic appeal of repetition was the most potent weapon in Abba's limited armoury.
So it is perhaps self-evident that the same musical signatures would be endlessly recycled: perky piano descents, toy-box organ sounds, staccato keyboard hooks and gimmicky backing vocals (thus, a phrase like "Take a Chance" can become "Teka cheka-cha-chance" and "Super Trouper" metamorphose into "Supa-pa True-pa-pa").
Then there were all those market-expanding, pan-European catchphrase choruses (Voulez-Vous, Mamma Mia, Chiquitita), cod-American English lyrics (Abba songs are full of unconvincingly pronounced "chick"s and "baby"s) and the kind of bizarre phraseology that comes from writing in a foreign tongue (in Winner Takes It All the loser at a metaphorical card game announces they have "no more ace to play").
As you know my wife is from Honduras, we travel there often, in fact we just returned from a trip there a couple weeks ago. I love Honduras, it's a beautiful stunning country, and I've often dream about retiring and living out my days there. The year and a half I was stationed in Honduras and Central America while in the Army were some of the happiest times of my life. The people are warm, kind, generous and funny. I would also add the Honduran women (All Latin women, honestly in my humble opinion) are much more beautiful than your two Swedish fantasies, (Cough-cough)
However. I've yet to meet a Honduran that doesn't simply love Abba, and it drives me crazy. Put an Abba song on and you are guaranteed two things, one: I will get up and leave the area immediately. Two: every single one of them, man, woman and child will sing along with whatever song you have on.
It drives me crazy, and nothing seems to give them more pleasure than torturing this poor gringo while I am there than to put Abba on and watch me squirm, in fact they did this to me during our most recent trip during a large outdoor family get-together.
They tricked me onto the dance floor with my elderly Mother in-law. We were supposed to dance a slow-song together, and just as the music started and her and I began dancing, the cold-hearted bastards switched the music on us to an Abba song. I had no choice being the lovely gentleman that I am, but to continue dancing with my mother in-law to an Abba song, while they all stood around laughing and smirking at me.
I have sworn revenge on them, not sure how, but one day I will have it. Mark my words. >:(
However. The most miserable time of my entire life was having to sit through the god-awfull movie/musical "Mamma Mia". I lost a fucking bet with my wife, and had to watch my beloved Meryl Streep ruin what up to than was an outstanding, and wonderful film career.
Worse part of the bet, besides listening and watching this monstrosity was I was not allowed as part of the bet to make any snide comments or remarks while we were watching, but had to sit quietly and demurely in my seat and watch.
I felt like Alex from "A Clockwork Orange" while he was going through the Ludovico Technique in prison. Remember the scene from the movie starring Malcolm McDowell, with his eyes clamped open forced to watch graphically violent films? The only part missing from my experience is I wasn't injected with nausea-inducing drugs like Alex was, but really there was no need, as the music itself took care of that part.
If there is a god, if hell does indeed exist it is my belief that it will be populated by kats, run by nuns, and have Abba music playing on an endless loop for all of eternity.
And that's all I have to say about that.

You could be right Tom, sadly.
Re-reading my post I bet that last part about the dance with my mother in-law sounds completely fabricated or made up, but I can assure you it isn't.
This whole Abba and the Honduran's thing started a number of years ago. Our niece, her husband and their two little kids were visiting us from Honduras here in Michigan (The two kids are my favs, and they actually refer to me as Tio Bruno even though Bruno isn't my given name).
It was a summer night, we had some other family members and friends over and were partying and dancing out on the patio when someone played an Abba song. Niece's husband who is somewhat conservative and usually quite and dormant suddenly jumps up from his table, and starts singing and dancing to the Abba song.
I'm looking at him so oddly he stops, walks over and asks me what is wrong, and I'm like, "Dude, WTF are you doing? Not only dancing, but your singing along to Abba with all this weird exuberance and joy. You do realize that people are watching right"?
It was then I found out how ridiculously beloved this group and their music is with Hondurans.
Over the years my displeasure in the music and their joy in playing it in my presence has grown, so now they use any chance possible to play Abba when I am around. One Christmas they bought me an Abba fucking ornament.
Some really mean and bitter people. ::)

Tio Bruno you are a bit much....you are also delightfully talented as a writer and humorist, and McCormick can kiss my ass, and yes Abba was sort of ricky tick but they managed to stay atop the charts for a long time, and made a shit ton of money, and were smart enough to bail when the party was over........well alright that was in the dark ages, the 1970s in fact. ....If you are maybe 50, then you were still in diapers when that outfit was at its peak of popularity....so you don't get to decide about the musical tastes of really old folks, or Hondurans.......

This is the perfect Friday afternoon jam to get you into the mood for a long weekend (Even if I will have to work some from home)
Motorcycle - As the Rush Comes (Gabriel & Dresden Chill Mix)
I'm listening to the Mo, a Dutch New Wave band that gained some popularity in 1979-1981. They made some very good albums, none of them however are available on CD.
Here are their first 2 hit records
^ Good study music. I will be looking into more of their songs.
A rare acoustic sessions from Stevie Ray, you can see why he was so revered. I really love this piece.
"SRV"
Etta James version of this song is one of my all-time favorite...it's yucky outside now, cloudy and grey, this along with a cup of tea is lifting my mood some.

I like Etta James.
Beyoncé sings,

Here are some local musicians that I must admire. One of them, Ben Pila, has played for the Pope, three presidents, and played at the 911 museum. A Juliard graduate. He is brilliant with his instrument. Please watch, and listen, for a few moments....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTyaKaMOENY
These are some local high school kids who are outstanding musicians. The video was made when they were juniors. They have competed, second place, in national competitions and made a TED segment.They have now graduated and have gone their separate ways to three different Florida state colleges. The video does not do them the acoustic justice that they deserve. I have attended two of their spectacular concerts here in my local school; Harrisson School Of The Arts. They are indeed wonder kids. One of them, the kid with the long hair, Cameron, is also a killer rock musician. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISEPyCM3r94

Quote from: Father Bruno on April 22, 2017, 07:41:45 PM
Not sure if a lot of folks here like Moby, but I really, really love this live version of "The Perfect Life".
Starting with the crowd participation in the beginning, especially as Moby's guitar player leads the crowd in a practice run of the chorus, singing kind of softly, sort of "off key" as he finds his range (.22 mark); and then the song really kicks off at the (2:42 mark) as Mindy Jones beautiful and powerful voice kicks in (She finishes the song off even stronger, simply an amazing singer and talent)
I also really enjoy Moby's guitar solo around the 5:10 mark, it's a beautiful accompaniment to the song. Sure compared to other guitar players he probably not as accomplished or technically gifted, and he makes a few small mistakes in the solo, but I guess that's what I really like about it, sort of raw and inspirational, like the song itself.
Anyway I find the song uplifting, it certainly can help lift you out of doldrums or gloomy guss of life....leastways it does me 8)
This song was recorded at the same concert (Part of Moby's "Almost Home: Live At The Fonda, LA (2xDVD+2xCD)")
Damien Jurado's voice on this song is perfect, as are the backing vocals, but my favorite part in near the end of the song when
Inyang Bassey (http://www.inyangbassey.com) sings the following alternative chorus.
As stars fell from the sky
All of them into the sea
Still I don't know if it's right
If this world is right for me
...I've often considered getting those last two lines tattooed somewhere on my body,.."Still I don't know if it's right, if this life is right for me."
Simple, but beautiful song...
Here are four German women who are brilliant musicians and they have a world class sense of humor.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37uHqbWccY0&list=PLT6OFolhZxfNqaDvyYiaUKN_SpnTpam8h
Try this other one if you are in the mood for some laughs. These women are eminently capable of high class music and they do play classical stuff often and well.......between clowning around sessions. Look on you tube for the title Salut Salon We will meet again. Too much fun.
Not many of you are old enough to remember the movie that used that song in the final scene. It was once a popular song done most famously by Vera Lynne. Clue: It was an end of the world movie. The Salut Salon women do not use the song that way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX2grJZDrmg The movie was Dr. Strangelove
There is nothing in the world like Miles Davis, and this "Spanish Key" from the album "Bitches Brew", is much like his previous album "In a Silent Way",...an electric surge of music, tranquility and spontaneity.
This doesn't necessarily need to be played loud, but to be enjoyed there should be no distractions when listening, no other competing sounds or motions...I recommend candles, some incense and lots of hot tea.

I love Lana Del Rey's music, and agree with your beautiful description Mags,..."
It's peaceful and calms, it's dark but charming, haunting, and beautiful."Very sentimental and beautiful music...
I like this one a lot.
Summertime Sadness (Video is also quite moving)
I think this is my favorite of hers.
"Young And Beautiful"
Some fantastic lyrics, this part reminds me of an old lover.
I've seen the world, lit it up
As my stage now
Channeling angels in the new age now
Hot summer days, rock 'n' roll
The way you play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul

Thank you for posting that,
SisterAgatha. I'm not a particular aficionado of Gregorian chanting but that recording is tastefully done, and I can see why many would find it soothing. :)
I've posted this more than once before, but so what? ;)
I'm not a fan of slow-paced music, so maybe you and I would differ on what we consider 'soothing'.
Maybe you'll like this one, I don't know. It has some Gregorian chanting in it.
I'm listening to this: KUSC online (https://www.kusc.org/?_ga=1.209372502.554714453.1455686196). I usually turn it on in the morning and off at night, unless I start watching TV which happens less and less often lately.
OK, I think this splits the difference nicely:
^ :daddance:
Merged the two music threads.
:cleaning:
My soothing music usually has a lot of my favorite band.
I'm listening to:
This medicine is wearing thin now
We're bullet proof until we bleed out
And even though we always try to hide our instincts from our pride
In our struggle to survive we keep the warpath by our side
We strike the sky until the sun bows
And fly until our feathers burn out
All our lives we've been apart
A vicious cycle from the start
In our struggle to survive we keep the warpath by our side
Syncopated Healing- Twiddle.
Umphrey's McGee- No Diablo
I swear any time I want to listen to new music I just ask my brother because I always find awesome bands from him.
I got to see umphrey's live earlier this summer and it was so worth it. They are fantastic live and the atmosphere was just a bunch of stoners having fun.
I love that song, and also this Karma song:
I want his hat, and his coat too.
I listen to the likes of Ana Vidovic, superb classical guitarist, playing such stuff as Cavatina. Elegant and emotional.
Cavatina is a complex tune that was once used as the theme music from the movie Deer Hunter. That movie was about the Viet Nam war and the movie did not end well. The music was hard to ignore. If you are the least bit sensitive, you might have a few tears. Cavatina is done by several you tube musicians. It is well worth listening to, by any of them,....well for me it is.

I agree with you Icarus, Ana Vidovic is a superb artist on the guitar, and definitely one of my favorites. Here grace of movement with both left and right hands is unmatched in my opinion...
Cavatina is a complex tune alright, so much more than how it sounds really with thin layers built upon that simple melody.
Here's Ana performing "Asturias".
This weekend while hanging and working around the house I listened to "Bob Marley's", "Natty Dread" album a couple times. This was released in 1974, but I didn't really discover it until 8 years later when I was a senior in high school.
Tatyana Rhzhkova is also an accomplished classical guitarist and she is also a hottie. She plays some of the Beetles music with passion. Chaconne Klaverenga is also worth listening to.
On a slightly different wave length is Damjan Pegcinoski who plays Gypsy jazz style. Try this one. It is hard for me to keep my feet still when listening to this style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDvk3fv5J2A

Here is a feel good vid. Lois Armstrong does one of his standards. The girl shown in the scenes is Amira Willighagen a brilliant classical soprano who is a charming little Dutch girl. Amira is in the same league as Jackie Evancho and Laura Bretan. Move over Sarah Brightman. Interesting juxtapose, Armstrong and Willighagen.

I don't know if anyone else here likes the Lumineers, but I've been big fans of theres for 5-6 years and am enjoying there current success...looking forward to seeing them live the next time they visit Detroit.
So if you watch these next three videos from them in the following order they tell a little story, plus the music is awesome!
1) Sleep on the floor
2) Angela
3) Cleopatra
Enjoy!

That's one of the qualities of their music I like, the sadness or sentimentality it arouses in me...it's as if you were looking at old pictures, or remembering days and people long gone from your life.
I think, and I'm speaking only for myself here, that it is good to occasionally feel a bit of sadness in our lives. The ability of music to bring that out in me is one of the qualities or benefits from it I'm attracted to the most.
It's sort of like curling up on the couch or in your favorite chair when the weather outside is gloomy, and the house is dark and quite...you pull a blanket or afghan tight around you, and stare out the window, or get lost in a book, and in the background is some warm, yet sentimental music playing along with your mood.
Sometimes sadness is how I connect with the world, with others in my life who are no longer with me, but still alive in my memory.
I think that's a part of love.
Or maybe I'm just a gloomy fuck.

Oh yes, Leonard Cohen, his music and especially his lyrics and poetry match that description perfectly.
Hermes -I had the pleasure of seeing Leonard Cohen the last time he was in Detroit, which was about 5 years ago...show was at the Fox Theatre, and my wife and I had first row seats in the balcony, and it was one of the best shows I've ever attended.
I've always been a big fan of his, yet had never caught one of his shows and I'm so happy that I was able to see the man perform before his passing. I believe it was called the "Old Ideas World Tour".
As soon as tickets became available I bought them, gave them to my wife and told her that she could give these to me for my birthday...she's not a big Cohen fan so I had to take her out for dinner before the show, she simply refers to him as "The Old Man"
After my mother passed away, and when I was going through a bit of rough times I found some solace in his song,
"The night comes on"....especially this line,
"I wanted the night to go on and on....But she said, go back, go back to the world".LyricsSorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
I think this song is my favorite of his, and what a superb duet, simply beautiful.
LyricsSorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
This part is both erotic and sorrowful at the same time.
And I'll dance with you in Vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
With the photographs there, and the moss
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
Oh my love, Oh my love

Father, I would have loved to see him perform. What a memory.
down to zero
love and affection
show some emotion
Back in the day I went along with some friends to see a surf movie at the opera house. I remember Down to Zero and slow mo' barrels.
I didn't become a Joan adherent, I was open but she seemed to be mostly ordinary.
These three songs though, 9,10, 11 on an album, pretty sweet I think.
I've been a fan and admirer of the pianist George Winston since I was in my late teens, and have listened to him consistently since that time...few things in life never change, whether for good or bad, but his music always brings peace, relaxation.
We had family get together over the weekend, and after we had dinner we were all sitting around talking and I put this album on and for a short time the room got quite as everyone recognize the melody, and then my oldest sister looked over at me and gave me a smile and nod of her head. It was her who introduced me to the music so long ago and the beauty of it is something we've shared over the years.
I highly recommend adding this entire album to your collection...
This is the full album.
One of my favorites, and I play this on the guitar is, "Variations on the Kanon" (Track 9)
I found this music video.
I like it, I'm sure some of you will hate it.

The beginning of Part 2 of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. Such sweet, gorgeous, yet delightfully ominous dissonance. (Well, obviously the subject matter of the ballet is not so delightful, but that music)

This song "She" is very, very cool indeed,... and I also like her rendition of Lou Reed's, "Walk on the Wild Side". I highly, highly recommend giving these a listen to, don't think you'll be disappointed!

Lol. "Kill De Rabbit" is actually set to Wagner, Ride of the Valkyries. I'm not super familiar with the opera/set of operas it comes from (The Ring), but I'm pretty sure the episode you linked to is all about that opera cycle, as Bugs Bunny is referred to as "Brunehilda" and that's a character from the opera cycle.

Lou Reed is a god...I was fortunate enough when I was young to have seen him perform live a couple times, and that song in particular was always a crowd favorite, meaning the kids I hung around with. We sure had some crazy times...
This is really cool video of that song, with a whole host of Lou's friends and folks who were mentioned in the song actually starring in the video.

I also saw Lou Reed perform in London in 1974. I must confess I invariably tear up when I hear Lou sing Walk on the Wild Side - it brings back memories of very good days in Paris and London.
Joe Dallesandero certainly was a hunk; he was so sexy in Flesh.

This guy

only made one album and I still love it.
Try this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEPQp3Bn4hM Stephanie is a virtuoso pianist whose style is called "Stride". Hang in there until about 1;30. It gets more lively at about 2;00 and then goes all out near 3;00 These two cats can play.
Here is one called; "isn't she lovely". A tribute to all our lovely lady HAFers from a guitarist who is from some Russian place. Them Ruskie types can get it on. Damjan plays his git-tar in a style called Gypsy jazz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwgIqv5CZQM
I hope you can appreciate his skill and the acrobatic left hand.
I am inclined to like classical guitar where the artist uses only their fingers to do what they do with the strings. Damjan uses a pick. Classical guitarists use only their finger nails to produce their magical sounds. This dude has it going pretty well pick or no pick.
Maria, we missed you. Please do not stay away for so long. You are one of the many essential HAFers whose input is interesting.
I log on every day I just don;t have anything to say :)
I'm feeling a little bit sad, and drunk and angy, but not drunk enough to mind my grammar, feelings, and punctuation, and the fact that I've had to type for the first time of my life with only two fingers.

Lately I have been listening to a lot of podcasts but when I have put music on its been Lord Huron or Glen Hansard.

Elmer Bernstein was a very talented composer and a friend of Charles Eames. Elmer wrote scores for a few of the wonderful Eames films like
Toccata for Toy Trains,

My niece posted this on FB for Valentine's Day, and I just had to share:
They keep playing this song on the radio over and over and over again all day long. Clean version of course. According to Billboard It's at number 38 on the top 100 songs. It was #26 but it went down.
If you don't like rap, don't hit play. It has what some consider adult themes, drugs, sex, racist, vulgar vocabulary, threats of murder, etc. It has a great beat. Maybe those of us who enjoy drums are the ones who placed it so high up the chart.
This is what this generation hears on the radio. I though some of you would like to know that. Remember when people said Elvis should be banned, boycotted or something like that because he moved his pelvic area in a way that he shouldn't? Times have changed.
Can't get this song out off my head for more than a week now.
^^^ Like I'm gonna play that after what you just said!!! :rofl:

Oooh, some Brass Rock! Nice. A genre that really needs to become a thing again!
Anyway, this song has been my obsession this afternoon for some reason. lol:
Mmm. So good. When people think of a Requiem, their minds automatically go to Mozart, but I think people should give Faure's Requiem a try, too.
Thank you for that Harmonie.
In truth I am not big on Requiems on account of the theme being for the dead. Your video had links that led to links that led me to this one in Jerusalem. This one is happier. It has small but important woodwind passages too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ncPSxdiHVo....Sleeping beauty is not dead just sleeping. Enjoy.
Ah, but it is death in a Christian sense. Faure's Requiem is very noted for having more 'happy' sections. I actually posted one of the less mentioned movements.
Personally, I like dark stuff, and Faure's Requiem switches between sounding very dark, and then happy, or at peace. It ends on a happy note, probably the most noted movement:
And listen to that melody that starts off this movement:

I agree with you about the Faure Requiem. It's much less serious than the Brahms Deutsches Requiem, which I also love very much.
My Wave by Soundgarden. I find that song oddly relaxing.
Harmonie, here is one that more nearly conforms to my own tastes. This composition has important woodwind components that you might notice. I hope that you will have the opportunity to play with an orchestra as famous and competent as this one.

I'm wishing that Phil Lynot had stuck around a little longer.

I think I might've overdosed on Les Claypool tonight. Very strange music but quite satisfying.
@Icarus: Thanks, but I've given up on being a professional musician. I'm just not fit for it. Musicology is my area, with perhaps a community orchestra on the side.
Anyway, thanks to recent discussion on Stravinsky I was reminded of this little gem:
An opening woodwind fugue starting with my own beloved instrument is super cool. Funny how it just screams Neo-Classical using a Baroque form, but with the odd twentieth-century harmony. Even the interplay between the instruments sounds Baroque-like, even though the harmony is so NOT Baroque. lol
The interplay continuing in the background once the chorus takes over is also very cool and reminds me a lot of the great J.S. Bach.
I'm actually listening to this, not just posting about it. I promise. :lol:

Harmonie, we have similar taste, it seems. I adore Stravinsky. Can you imagine being there at the first performance of the Rite in 1913, when the audience rioted? One thing I admire about him was also seen in Picasso's work. Neither of them stuck to a style when it became popular, but were never afraid to go off in new directions, regardless of public response. Stravinsky could have gone on composing spectacular pieces like The Rite of Spring, Petrouchka, and Firebird for the rest of his life, but he then went on to compose dryer serial and neoclassical works that were at first more difficult to appreciate by his fans.
The soundtrack from Strictly Ballroom. Currently:
Wanna see and hear some happy people play just because they like to play......This is the Taiwan National Symphony Orchestra doing a flash mob gig for fun. They are better than merely good musicians.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmVRKwScVKM
Icarus, you should enjoy this one as well. It's Gustavo Dudamel conducting the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela in Danzon Number 2 by Marquez.
Thank you Hermes. Yes I did like that. I liked because it is a near certainty that the young musicians were able to express themselves so beautifully. Who knew that a nation as poor and unfortunate as Venezuela could spawn such marvelous talent. That is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. A nation that is currently in need of such basics as toilet paper, still has the capacity for high achievement. Dudamel is a prime mover and a passionate conductor.
I am a flash mob junkie because I see so many talented people do their thing in a public forum that invariably brings pleasure and even emotion to the witnesses at the scene. The scenes are spread over much of the earth in places like Taiwan, Austria, Netherlands, Denmark, Hungary, Israel, Italy, North and South America, Spain, Korea, Russia, and everywhere else except for the Islamic nations. I have never found a flash mob vid of people in an Islamic country.
Music can soothe the savage beast. What a shame that it is not popular in those nations that forbid it. Helmut Lotti has even taken his music to the darkest regions of Africa where it was well received by most, but not by the Islamic breeds. I weep for the ones who can not be permitted to experience the magnificence of harmonious, melodic, and human passion of music.
Never mind, I am on one of my philosophic kicks.

I have no idea what I just watched, but I think I need to go meditate in my garden after the sensory overload!
After the recent superheated exchanges at HAF I think we all need to chill with Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune.
Dragonia's contribution is way out there on the edge. Makes me think of trippin' on LSD or an extreme over abundance of high octane saki.
Hermes vid is more than music. Observe the facial expressions of the lady flutist. ( sp...flautist?) The lady oboeist is paying close attention to the conductor. The entire orchestras appears to be transported to some special place. Their facial expression suggests that. Passionate, or maybe that is what the Danes do or feel.
I can imagine the Debussey prelude overlaid onto the strange Asian vid from Dragonia.

I moved in an acid circle when I was a student and your observation on Dragonia's vid is spot on.

I've been listening to Les Claypool's Lennon Delirium. It has a 60s feel with a bit more bass and Les' lyricism. Very nice.
Just discovered this modern British Folk band in the same (but modernized) vein of Pentangle and Steeleye Span (the Pentangle influence is very easy for me to hear), and I'm so happy! Sadly, they have disbanded, but... Always nice to find a new band.
...And of course, I always gravitate to the dark stuff. lol

I don't know why the oboe wasn't mainstream to begin with! The Baroque era was when oboe was queen. We must go back to those days! (er... only musically, though. Certainly only musically!)
Most people don't listen for instruments. The oboe has a very prominent role in Madonna's Crazy For You, but I remember going to the Wikipedia page (this was a couple of years back at least, it might have been fixed) and the author of the article couldn't even identify the instrument only referring to it was a "woodwind" (shocked they even got that far in their identification, TBH).
Bands in the 1960s/70s understood how good the instrument was, though, case and point:

A bit of irony there, because they're Germans. Poor Vera is turning in her grave!
Sure enough Vera Lynn may not approve the clowning in the Salut Salon piece.
That music has been used as background for some bad scenes.
It was also used for the theme of the doomsday movie Dr. Strangelove and the Slim Pickens bomb riding end.
Despite the bad rap, I find parts of that song soothing.

So you're saying in your realm, a rapper winning a Pulitzer Prize is proof that there is no god? How?
You've mentioned many times how much you dislike humans, you exclude yourself from us. I don't know if you're joking. I live in this realm with these humans, some believe there is a god, I don't. So, my answer is yes, in my realm, some believe there is a god and there is nothing I can do or say to convince them that there isn't one, and there is nothing they can do or say to convince me that there is one. But in this realm, a rapper winning a prestigious award doesn't prove that there is or that there isn't a god.
I don't see the connection. Please tell me about your realm where apparently they are connected.

NPR Music has a good article discussing how this came about it (See below)with an interesting interview with Farah Jasmine Griffin, who is a professor specializing in African-American literature and music at Columbia University who was one of five jurors on the Pulitzer Prize Committee.
I think this quote from the article is extremely relevant.
QuoteYeah. I think it's beautiful. I think it's one of the tragic ironies of our existence here. And, you know, I think that there's really something about this moment. I mean, that's what art does, right? Art, at its best, reflects and shapes its time and its moment. And I think it maybe gives a little hope that the doors aren't completely closed, that there's still [something] that feeds us as we struggle through the muck and mire. There's still some spaces of possibility, even when we're ready to say, well, this is all foreclosed. It's never all foreclosed.

I'm listening to Marilyn Manson's album Mechanical Animals on Amazon and I'm struck by the fact that it seems to have been produced for cassette tapes. On tape each song transitions into the next seamlessly but the digital version has odd breaks between songs that ruins the continuity. It's a great album, by the way.
I don't know why there's no youtube for Rattlsnakes
QuoteJJodie wears a hat
Although it hasn't rained for six days
She says a girl needs a gun these days
On account of all the rattlesnakes
She looks like Eve Marie Saint
In "On the Waterfront"
She reads Simone de Beauvoir
In her American circumstance
She's less than sure if her heart has come
To stay in San Jose
And her neverborn child still haunts her
As she speeds down the freeway
As she tries her luck with the traffic police
Out of boredom more than spite
She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
She's obvious despite herself
She looks like Eve Marie Saint
In "On the Waterfront"
She says all she needs is therapy
Yes, all you need is love is all you need
Jodie never sleeps cause there are always
Needles in the hay
She says a girl needs a gun these days
On account of all the rattlesnakes
She looks like Eve Marie Saint
In "On the Waterfront"
As she reads Simone de Beauvoir
In her American circumstance
Her heart, heart's like crazy paving
Upside down and back to front
She says oh, it's so hard to love
When love was your great disappointment
Here is a whole other kind of music. have a listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqU5OMNL-7I
Whooda thunk it? Sharks prefer jazz music. Research carried out at Mc Quarie university in Sydney Aus., revealed that juvenile Port Jackson sharks can be rapidly trained to associate the sound of jazz with food. When exposed to jazz they swim toward it. When the same experiment is tried with classical music they largely pottered around looking lost and getting increasingly peckish. It seems that Beethovens Hammerheadklavia sonata or Schubert's great white C major symphony will not be entering the repertoire any time soon.
JJ that's a weird ass video. It strikes home though. Earlier in the year I decided to grow some tomatoes. Yeah right!!!! I bought some seeds and was careful to use potting soil, compost, and all that stuff. I tended the plants carefully. Watered, cajoled, talked to the plants even let them hear some classical music. WOW......the things sprouted and developed shoots that extended as much a six feet long..........I pampered the bastards, gave them some tomato sticks to cling to. HMPHHHH. Friggin things showed no signs of blooming and certainly no sign of even a single fruit. I regrettably, have a brown thumb and plants do not like me except for the enormous array of weeds in my carefully tended lawn.
My daughter on the other hand is a genius with plants and vegetable sprouts. I swear she could plant a damned rock and it would soon turn itself into a carrot, squash, eggplant, watermelon, or other useful fruit or vegetable. She must not have the same genes as me. I may consider the murder of the postman, milkman, or other man who sometimes .....well never mind.
Why am I even listening to pop music? ::) The beat, the beat, the beat...
I have a high school in my town that is called Harrisson School of The Arts. Some, no most, of those kids are so incredibly talented that it makes me cry with joy and the pride that not all, not nearly all, of our kids are delinquents whose only talents are texting.
There are kids across the globe that are unbelievably talented in many disciplines. Here is a group of Japanese high school musician kids who can flat out get it on. They are playing American music that was most popular in the 1940s while we were trying to destroy each others nations. This group is doing comedic stuff but their music is spot on. Try to listen to this while keeping your foot from patting.
The Japanese, somehow, have taken to music best described as Swing or jazz. There are many Japanese high school bands that do this music. Among them is the BFJO or Big Friendly Jazz Orchestra. They are spectacular and have many You tube gigs. Our resident woodwind lady, Harmonie, cannot help but appreciate what some of those kids can do with their reed instruments. check out the girl drummer in this group. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVSMwgOjAJw

Yes, a fine performance. Gershwin is one of the American composers I admire very much. Of the more serious American composers, Copland is top of my list, with Barber a close second.
This past week I attended a concert with our regional Imperial Symphony Orchestra. The guest artist was Angel Romero, an internationally acclaimed classical guitarist. They played Cocierto de Aranjuez Also Andalucia Suite as well as a relatively obscure composition; Tre Versiones Sinfonicas. it was a night of impressive Spanish style music.

Wow, thanks for reminding me to get a recording of Julian Orbon's Tres Versiones Sinfonica. I heard it many years ago and made a mental note to get it.
The South American and Spanish composers wrote some very lively music. I think you will like Sinfonia India by Chavez if you appreciate this type of music. Another exciting one is Sensemaya by Revueltas.

I'm just finishing up The Pale Emperor by Marilyn Manson. Excellent album.
Here is a song by one of the lovelies who perform with the show: Celtic Woman. The song is titled: A Spaceman Came Traveling.
A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar
Twas light years of time since his mission did start
And over a village he halted his craft
And it hung in the sky like star, just like a star
This is the season of Xmas and this song does celebrate the occasion.
Of course the Spaceman is God. But the program has deleted this musical piece because it offended some of the audience ....some think it blasphemy.
A nice piece of music nonetheless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXSyqK9ERRs

A wonderfully amusing performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee. One of the funniest Spoonerisms was when an announcer somewhere called it the Bum of the Flightlebee. Rimsky-Korsakov was Stravinsky's mentor and also influenced Ravel, among other composers.

If you like Handel, you will like Lully (he was a generation earlier than Handel, whose music he influenced).
Haven' heard much of Handel's music either. Classical music isn't generally in my playlists. :redface:
Good stuff for reading though -- no distracting lyrics.

I liked that. From behind the conductor looks like a young Simon Rattle.
I got a compilation CD from the local library some years ago, it's this.
Eric B not the particular song, I think it's in there though.

Thanks, Icarus, it was so nice to wake up to that. The conductor mentions Dave Brubeck, whose son, Darius Brubeck, lived and taught over here for a number of years.

This one is Pink Panther. It is most often done with a heavy feature with the saxaphone. Here is an arrangement that uses only strings. A smashing rendition I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMM_EiyvDBk

QuoteJust a short note
You'll find the key inside
There's no one home tonight
But come in anyway
The shallow sea
Calm, but not asleep
You're gonna wade into the deep
Tomorrow's years away
And now I know
Why darkness makes me smile
The night will have its child
And the wind will wind away
The wind will wind away
Until you're telling your friends we died
Laughing still
But the vessel that you fill
Will be your own
Wade into the deep
How much can you see,
Before we're all the same
Those words I wrote
I see my errors now
There's too much when and how
And you blow it anyway
The shallow sea
Calm, but not asleep
You're gonna wade into the deep
Tomorrow's years away
Every day, every day, every day
And now I know
Why darkness makes me smile
The night will have it's child
And we'll all just blow away
Just watch us blow away
Until you're telling your friends we died
Laughing still
But the vessel that you fill
Will be your own
Wade into the deep
How much can you see
Before we're all the same
Show me
Why are you still listening to that maudlin crap?

Music is one of the greatest forms of art that ever existed.
It has a lot of use some use it for relaxing and some use it as a form of medication according to the article I have read.
"Greek physicians used flutes, lyres, and zitters to heal their patients. They used vibration to aid in digestion, treat mental disturbance, and induce sleep. Aristotle (323–373 BCE)"
Which is really cool though I do not know how does this work maybe it sends stimuli to our brain that help us reduce our stress level which is bad to our health. I got a bit curious and read an article about "if an artist or musicians live longer" https://psmag.com/social-justice/artists-musicians-live-longer-lives-72840
Personally, I love listening to music that is chill and meaningful lyrics the one that I can relate with my life experiences like Maroon 5 lol.
I love to learn more about music and soon be able to make and edit my own music (https://www.adorama.com/alc/best-free-music-production-software).

I have played a bit with loops in Acid Music and, more recently, MAGIX Music Maker. I soon discovered that I lack any music composing talent. I decided to restrict my creative activities to the visual arts like sculpture, painting, and photography.
Nowadays I am just a listener to classical music, about 99% of the time. I've converted all my CDs into FLAC format and play the files on a Cambridge Audio CXN network player coupled to my quite good music system. It's all controlled remotely from a tablet or my cell phone. Perhaps we can exchange some ideas on the technical side of home audio systems.
Ruth B's 'Lost Boy'The first few times I heard this song it came over my Pandora feed while I was working, and I remembered being slightly mesmerized by the poetry of the lyrics, her original voice, along with the simplicity and beauty of the song.
I like this line the best,
"lost boys like me are free".I loved being a kid,...there was a period of time when it was almost magical, and I wanted to stay a kid like Peter Pan forever. Something maybe to do with not being serious, just having fun, playing, exploring. The idea of being above it all, being able to escape into a secret other world.
That time was short though, the real world came crashing through my childish barriers, and leveled my understanding of the world real quick like, but... sometimes now I have moments where I can almost recapture the emotional state of that childhood dream, this song certainly helps.
Anyway here it is:

Etta James, "At Last".
This is one bad ass album. Definitely one of my all-time favorites. Hard to believe this was Etta's debut album,...she was in top form here. Released in 1960.
I love the song "At Last", but "Stormy Weather" is pure spiritual magic. Takes me deep every time I listen to it. Know what I saying?

I like Etta James. :tellmemore:
She was great.
I like Etta and Ella and several others of that era. Listen to the Etta vids and hear the orchestra backing her. Orchestra, not a bunch of wild dudes jumping up and down with offensively three chord loud guitars.
BPs contribution is not bad but does not have the musical quality of the Etta back ground. However....there is no accounting for tastes.
Here is another female singer that does it plenty good. Take a listen. ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqmS29CXNZ8
Thanks, guys, for leading me on a little detour outside my usual (99%) listening territory of classical music.
The following rendition of "Clare de Lune" by Debussy on classical guitar by the French guitarist Roxane Elfasci is spellbinding to say the least.
The video has over 4 million views, of which a couple thousand have to be from me listening to it over and over again.
The arrangement is by James Edwards, but Roxanne plays it with such tenderness and clarity that it has become something of a masterpiece in the classical guitar world.
Debussy composed this piece for piano, and most folks believe it only sounds good on piano; plus music written for piano can be difficult to play or arrange for guitar, but this is the exception indeed.
Clearly Roxanne is an exceptional guitarist; unfortunately there is little information on her available. I follow her YouTube channel, but she has only uploaded a few other performances (Equally as good)
(I actually purchased the sheet music for this arrangement from James Edwards, and have managed so far to get about a quarter of the way through it, but the piece is proving difficult, and I know it is going to take me some time to learn it completely (Taking some time off from it currently). Of course my performance of it, if I can in fact learn the piece will not be anything close to Roxanne's version, but it is fun to play nonetheless. She makes it seems so effortless. I wish I had her delicate left hand instead of the stubby appendage and digits that I was born with)
Anyway give it a listen, then play it again with your eyes closed, then listen and watch her play it a third time and be amazed.
That is beautiful Bruno. I have long been hooked on classical guitar music.
I suspect that you know of, perhaps listened to, the elegant Ana Vidovic and the sexy but wonderfully talented Tatiana Rhyzkova. Xuefi Yang is also a spectacular classical guitarist.
If you want to hear some incredibly skillful Gypsy Jazz, then look for Damjan Pejinoski. These people are all on You Tube for our enjoyment.
My adopted grandson is a Lithuanian who lives in the city of Kaunas. He is a classical guitarist with a fair degree of talent and ability. He told me that the fondest wish of the classical guitarist, referring to their guitar, is: "try to make her believe that she is beautiful". Your lady is pretty close to that goal.

Thanks for the heads up on Damjan, I wasn't too familiar with him, but I do think I had seen a couple short clips of him before on Instagram.
Glad to hear about your grandson, I bet he's a joy to listen to. :)
Justinas is not my grandson by birth or any of that kind of relationship. I met him online at a boat design forum several years ago. We exchanged E mails for a while and became more than just friends with a common interest. He has been my house guest a couple of times when one or the other of us could afford the cost of the visit. Justinas proved to be a gentleman of the first order, a magnificent teller of stories, an emerging master craftsman, and we have become very close. We have become mutual admirers and I think that our relationship has gone beyond the admirer stage. Thus I claim him as an honorary grandson. He is cool with that.
When he visited us here in Florida we rented guitars and he did make them beautiful. He is not in the same league as Vidovic or Sergovia or any of the other masters but he is pretty good at causing the listener to suspect that he must have at least twenty nimble fingers.
P.S. His background ancestors were Jews who were persecuted by the Russians and, before that, the Nazis. There is a killing field near his hometown of Kaunas where the Third Reich wrought mass killings of Jews or suspected Jews.. He is one of us in his rejection, or at least questioning of the presence of a God like figure.

Hi Bad Penny II, I likes them two tracks you put up.
I try not to go over the top in my genital piss-taking, (sorry, that should be gentle!)
So I urge members not to take me to seriously sometimes.
My first introduction to proper music was Bill Haley and the Comets, with "Rock Around the Clock." That was in 1954 here in the UK, I was 14 years old. Then came Little Richard, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly and many, many others, and of course Elvis. And then the Beatles, with "Love Me Do" in 1962. I was 21 years old. The Rolling Stones and many other groups followed, and there was still great music coming from the States. The Eagles, Bruce Springstein Creedence Clearwater Revival and many others. Some of the earlier years are somewhat dated now. You had to be alive in those times. I cant describe to younger generations the tingle that went down my spin when John Lennon walked live on stage and opened up with "Twist and Shout" I saw the "Fab Four" live 5 times back in those days.
I suppose I'm stuck in a time-warp of those halcyon days of my youth. So please don't take me seriously when I mention my "proper" music! I mean no offence or disrespect. I'm just a senile old git.

Hello Cloud of Red,
I don't think we've met yet,...anyways I have a deep love of music, and like you in my younger days (Though I don't go back near as far as you) I had the pleasure of being able to enjoy a large number of bands and performances live. Many I remember quite distinctly, and some are a bit cloudy, though the haze was most likely due more to a bit of overindulgence in alcohol and the other things getting passed around at the time than loss of memory.
I'm too young to have seen the Beatles, but I did get to see Sir Paul a couple times here in Detroit...one of my coworkers, who is a bit older than myself actually worked security backstage for the Beatles when he was a student at the University when they played here in Detroit at the old Tiger Stadium. He didn't meet them personally, but got to see them briefly backstage after the show. He said the excitement and pandemonium going on around them was out of this world.
Anyways I'm always up to hear something new, or something old, or something strange.
However. Please be advise that you cannot post any music by the band Abba on the forum, in fact if you do it will get you banned for life. (It's in the rules)Be good, and here is an awesome live acoustic version of Melissa by the Allman Brothers,...enjoy, cuz it rarely gets any better than this. I mean this is some proper shit dude!

Not just any old love song, but one with a plea or lustfullness which will make the recipient swoon.- like the 1st. One
Or perhaps a come and lay down by my side invitation.- like the 2nd. One
Or this hauntingly beautiful song which came out in 1979.- like the 3rd. One
Finally, if this last one doesn't bring a lump in your throat and a tear to your eye, you are beyond help. - like the 4th. One
Thanks for your welcome Papa Bruno. Yes, I've heard the Allman Brothers before, and I like.
This is my favourite love song
I always liked this cover by Type O
And this one by Jane Jensen
And of course this one by Portishead
Submit a love song? I can't, I don't know what "proper" music is. :reading:
Mags I suspect that you do know what proper music is. From a purely academic standpoint, it must have agreeable sonic and tonal structure. Somehow current tastes have opted to abandon that kind of structural integrity in favor of the loud and cacaphonous.
RC has given us a simple song by Roberta Flack that comes close to the "proper" structure. She also has a sonorous voice that works well with the calmer type of musical offering. So many of the pop artists have voices that lack that quality. There is no accounting for tastes so let us all enjoy whatever appeals to us.

Yes, Mags that music has some structure. Not my cup of tea but it is music nonetheless. I confess that I am hung up on music that is of a latin nature...such as Herb Alpert and Brazil 66. .... I am also hooked on classical Guitar stuff like that offered by Sergovia and Montoya.
Music for a quiet night............enjoy...........
This is what do you get if you combine heavy metal with classical music; played by highly skilled musicians and sung by one of the best female singers in the world.

Roberta Flack is the best. My favorite song off that album is Compared to What, but the First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is a close second.
Some of my favorite love songs are the Cyndi Lauper version of When You Were Mine (the video is silly, though). (I love Prince, but his version doesn't hold a candle. Some American punk band also did a good cover.) Also really love Elvis Costello's "I Want You." Not what most people would call a love song, but hate is the flipside of love. And I love Lauryn Hill's Ex-Factor. Hope the link works, but I have a tendency to mess them up:
I resonate with this one
Not this one so much.
I'm off to listen to Roberta.
Well I knew he was a fool but somehow I thought my welfare concerned him

Classical music, for want of a better name, is a never-ending adventure. I am embarrassed to admit that I only discovered the Finnish composer Kalevi Aho a few months ago. How many others are still unknown to me?
This is his marvellous, quite Bartokian, Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra, with the agile Martin Grubinger as solo percussionist. He has to be as fit as our
jumbojak.

All started by Bach, with a strong Philip Glass influence there.

That is one of the lovely things about this place, we learn so much from each other.
That's astonishing musicianship. Not 100% convinced the piece fits too well with the harp. Worth listening to though.
shes amazing.
and harps surprise me. its a more versatile instrument than i ever thought.

I'm also not so sure about an organ piece played on the harp, but the harp can be an effective stand-in for the guitar. There is a harp transcription of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez that works well. I'll search for it on YouTube when I have time later.
I found a performance of the Concierto de Aranjuez transcribed for harp:
We are getting quite classy here. The harp is the instrument of angels it is said.
BR that is not the preferred Appalachian instrument or its music, but I suspect that it can be done with a Harpsichord or zither or similar instrument. Some of the back country musicians are quite talented and thoroughly capable.

My new favourite Death Metal band - Gojira
I'm off to see Machine Head tomorrow with MiniSiz (who's not so Mini any more). So, one of my faves by them - not everyone's taste, of course, but here it is:
^ Yikes............Punk Rock always resembles a train wreck, with multiple fatalities, to me. WTF? Different strokes for different folks.
That wasn't Punk; that was Thrash/Death Metal.
This is Punk:

^ Yikes............Punk Rock always resembles a train wreck, with multiple fatalities, to me.
I totally get that. I guess that's why it appeals. For me it's not necessarily about melodic merit, it's the aggression - a release. And if that can be married to good melody and/or musicianship then that's all to the good.
I do listen to other genres too, but I'm most moved by this is kind of noise.
I have to say that I think Machine Head have one of the best guitar sounds in the business. The perfect balance of distortion, gain and tone. Meaty and full.

Yeah, love Blue Stahli, and enjoy Celldweller. Celldweller have a good gothy techno thrash vibe of their own going on and they also mix for other people.
Anything else you can recommend along those lines?

We certainly have a lot of mutual ground musically xSPx.
Quick listen on Youtube:
Scandroid - never heard of them. I notice they have a cover of TearsForFears' Shout. Interesting! Not as heavy as I'd normally do, but will give the album a listen.
Circle of dust - Nice. A bit industrial with some speed-metal licks thrown in. Can definately hear Celldweller in there.
Raizer - Blue Stahli-esque. Further investigation required.
Rob Zombie - tried and tested. A regular feature on my playlists. (And, of course, White Zombie).
I'd never heard of Glitch until a new member at HAF years ago (long gone now) said he liked it. I've enjoyed it ever since. I particularly like the hardcore chaos glitch like on Blue Stahli's Lake of Flames track.
In a similar direction to Glitch Mob, Pantyraid is nice and mellow:
For a more industrial excursion, I like Combichrist. Or She (Coloris) for a more bleepy experience.
Other heavy stuff I regularly play includes All that Remains (I saw them earlier this year - solid!), Mudvayne, Miss May I, Bury Tomorrow.
I love this track by one-hit-wonder, The Word Alive:

hot damn it's time for dramatic shit
Our sound worlds seems to overlap in quite a few areas. I am a huge Prokofiev and Wagner fan.
im a peasant. i dont know shit about music except what sticks in my head. fragments of larger worlds.
sometimes it takez me years to identify something i hear in my head every day. rossini here was one:
Yes, Rossini is mostly known for his bouncy opera music, but he also wrote some wonderful chamber music that is more to my taste.
The story as told by some, goes like this...............In the 15th century Lithuania was a large and powerful force. Their influence reached all the way to the Ukraine. The ukraineans hated the Lithuanians guts and there was sporadic war. On some day or other the Ukrainean militants decided to attack the Baltic devils. They had to ride far and hard to engage the enemy...Here is: The Ride To Dubno

I have no idea about the truth or falsity of tale of war or if it is just a myth by some imaginative person. In any case you can feel the thunder of the horses hooves.

The voices of reason trying to temper my fun.
Absolutely love this song!
QuoteYeah,
I am not a pattern to be followed
The pill that I'm on
Is a tough one to swallow
I'm not a criminal
Not a role model
Not a born leader
I'm a tough act to follow
I am not the fortunate and the fame
Or the same verse I'm telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And I found out the underbelly is sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly, but it can get worse,
'Cause even the blueprint is a gift and a curse
'Cause once you have the theory of how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
And I'm not a robot
I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk ya'll
Stop talking, start tryna catch up mother fucker
And all the people say
Aah, aah, aah
Tryin' to catch up mother fucker
Aah, aah, aah
Lauren said money changes situations
Big said it increases the complication
Kane said don't stab, I ain't the one
Chuck said that an Uzi weigh a mother fucking ton
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rocking every stage and every place that they brought me
I'm awfully underrated
But can be corrected
And so this second I'm gonna save it for the record
I am the opposite of whack
Opposite of weak
Opposite of slack
Standing in the heat
Standing in a crack
Closest to a beat, far from a punk
Ya'll outta stop talking, start tryna catch up mother fucker
And all the people say
Aah, aah, aah
Trying to catch up mother fucker
Aah, aah, aah
Oh when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
Oh when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
Oh when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
And all the people say
Aah, aah, aah
Trying to catch up mother fucker
Aah, aah, aah

Aah, aah, aah
Trying to catch up mother fucker
Aah, aah, aah

Aah, aah, aah
QuoteWhen you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And with the cataclysm raining down, insides crying save me now
You were there impossibly alone
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go, let it go
And in the burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of temper grace falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go, let it go
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go, let it go

Cancion Del Elegido
The Chosen One's Song.Every time a story is told, one talks about an old man, a child or oneself.
But my story is a difficult one, I won't speak about a common man, I'll tell you the story of a being from another world,
of an animal from a galaxy.
It's a story related to the course of the Milky way.
It's a burried story,
it's about a being from nowhere.
(He) Was born from a storm
In the sun of a night
Of the penultimate month.
Went from planet to planet
Searching for drinking water.
Perhaps searching for life
Perhaps searching for death
One can never know.
Perhaps searching for silhouettes
Or something similar
that could be adorable,
--At least lovable...
Kissable...
Polite.
He discovered that King Solomon's mines were found in the heavens
not in the scorching Africa
--the way people thought.
But stones are cold
and he was interested in warmth and happiness.
The jewels had no soul,
they were just mirrors,
shinny colors.
So he finally came down to war.
Pardon me,
I meant to say,
He came down to earth.
He learned the story right away.
He felt crushed crystals in his head,
and he realized that war
was the future's peace.
The most terrible things we learn right away
and the beautiful ones cost us our lives.
I last saw him go
amidst smoke and machineguns, happy and naked.
He was killing scoundrels
With his cannon from the future.
He was killing scoundrels
With his cannon from the future.

Ha! I haven't thought about this song since college.
this is totally weird
my number two daughter showed me that japan now has musical celebritites thar are completely artificial-- holograms and vocaloid voice softwre:
^^^this one has apparently been around since 2008 and has a recorded repertoire of 100,000 songs. live concerts with real accompanists and real fans.
the character started out with a template from a voice actress, and then morphed into a hologrammatic live action character.
how long before we have virtual poiticians?

Been kind of in a music rut lately so I've been going back and listening to old favorites. Pretty sure this will always be my favorite song
Tallred, I approve of your choice of music.
The Pianist appears to be Juja Wang who is not only an acclaimed virtuoso but also a sexy chick. She can be seen and heard on a variety of You Tube vids. The orchestra and conductor are pretty good at what they do as well.

Thank you for this; we seem to share the same interest in music. Do you like 20th century music in general?
I usually find Messiaen's religiosity tiresome, but I like this piece very much. Yuja Wang and Gustavo Dudamenl are an explosive combination, really in their element in this performance.
Same conductor and orchestra.

I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I like a wide variety of eras of music. I'm especially fascinated by large ensembles. Schoenberg's Gurrelieder, for instance is underrated, in my opinion. The orchestration, I think, is masterful. With his huge orchestra, he could have just bludgeoned their lister with volumes of unrelenting sound, but like most composers who use big ensembles, he uses the tutti sections as a punctuation mark. The rest of the time, it's almost like chamber music.
I find the same in Turangalila. I'm especially entranced by Messiaen's use of the ondes martenot. I don't find it gimmicky at all. The fact that the symphony is about joy is a welcome relief for me. The world seems consumed by negativity, so that's why I recommended it.
As to your other question, in every era I find works of genius alongside pieces of sheer dreck, so I pick and choose. When I was just out of college, I played part time in a semi-professional chamber orchestra. The musical director was especially fond of 20th century music, Stravinsky in particular. So we played scaled down versions of Petrushka, The Firebird, and Rite of Spring. We also played a fair amount of Bartok. It's becoming harder to find Bartok on a program, for whatever reason. We also played some of Elliott Carter's chamber orchestra works. I don't recall liking them, but they were interesting.

I have loved Bartok's music for a very long time and still recall with fondness the Boulez version of Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, especially the night music movement. Stravinsky is another favourite composer of mine. I can live without Carter. As for big works, the Mahler 8 is in a class with Gurrelieder, not forgetting some of the large scale pieces by Berlioz, Wagner, and Richard Strauss. As I grow older I am listening more to chamber music, especially Schubert and Debussy.
Sorry, was still going to ask what instrument you play.

Here's my favorite Cuban troubadour: Silvio Rodriguez.
Cancion Del Elegido
The Chosen One's Song.
Every time a story is told, one talks about an old man, a child or oneself.
But my story is a difficult one, I won't speak about a common man, I'll tell you the story of a being from another world,
of an animal from a galaxy.
It's a story related to the course of the Milky way.
It's a burried story,
it's about a being from nowhere.
(He) Was born from a storm
In the sun of a night
Of the penultimate month.
Went from planet to planet
Searching for drinking water.
Perhaps searching for life
Perhaps searching for death
One can never know.
Perhaps searching for silhouettes
Or something similar
that could be adorable,
--At least lovable...
Kissable...
Polite.
He discovered that King Solomon's mines were found in the heavens
not in the scorching Africa
--the way people thought.
But stones are cold
and he was interested in warmth and happiness.
The jewels had no soul,
they were just mirrors,
shinny colors.
So he finally came down to war.
Pardon me,
I meant to say,
He came down to earth.
He learned the story right away.
He felt crushed crystals in his head,
and he realized that war
was the future's peace.
The most terrible things we learn right away
and the beautiful ones cost us our lives.
I last saw him go
amidst smoke and machineguns, happy and naked.
He was killing scoundrels
With his cannon from the future.
He was killing scoundrels
With his cannon from the future.

Van Morrison was exposed to blues music early on in his childhood (As well as country and gospel), as his father had an album collection which was at one time one of the largest in his hometown. (His father actually acquired some of it while spending time working here in Detroit).
Van Morrison has said, "If it weren't for guys like Ray and Solomon, I wouldn't be where I am today. Those guys were the inspiration that got me going. If it wasn't for that kind of music, I couldn't do what I'm doing now."
Van is also one hellava harmonica player!
I've listened to this several times already.

:lol:
Reminds me of the past...
I covered it to protect those who are easily offended.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
Feeling nostalgic today.
Earlier this week a coworker and I had to travel by car together to visit a customer due to a quality issue. My coworker drove, and they only listen to "80's On 8" in their car. Nothing. Else.
Of course I like 80's music, and as I explained to my co-worker I was there for the 80's so it's definitely a part of my life, but not every song is equal, and there were times I wanted, and even asked to change the channel, but it's their car, their radio so I had to suck it up. (Next time we have to travel together I'm going to insist on driving, and then the revenge will be mine!)
Best I could do was turn the volume down when some songs came on I didn't like, and attempt to talk over it (Such as "We Built This City", by Starship...yuckity yuck)
Then this happened.
So this afternoon while doing some chores around the house I've been playing nothin butt Roxy Music. (Luckily no one else was home, so I was able to turn up the volume, and sing along at will...bet you all wish you could have listened 8)
However. I have to be careful when listening to Roxy Music around the wife.
In the years before her and I were married I was seriously dating a woman who I was very, very close to. To put mildly, the time we spent together was extremely wild, and explorative. A time which included clubbing together, and music was a huge part of our lives, especially Roxy Music.
We broke up before I joined the Army, but remained friends for some time. While I was in the army and deployed she would send me mix music tapes. Occasionally on the tapes she would make these little recordings between songs, usually how a particular song reminded her of certain events or times in our lives together, but sometimes just random thoughts or messages.
I loved these tapes
One tape in particular was mainly Roxy Music. Now I had saved the tapes, and as luck would have it, this one particular tape with Roxy Music on it made it into our home stereo system, and long story short my wife (Socorro) had put the tape on and played it.
First 30 minutes of the tape no problem, just good music, but then the following song came on and after the song finished my ex-girlfriends voice comes on, and she is describing in vivid detail how this particular song was our favorite to make love to, and how whenever she hears it she can't think of anything else, and finishes by asking me rhetorically on the tape if I have the same thoughts.
Sigh. Obviously Socorro was upset, and she made me get rid of all the tapes from the ex I had saved.
Now if a Roxy Music song comes on and we are together she will just give me the look, and I usually give her a sheepish grin in return and try to look disinterested, and if possible change the song...funny thing is our daughter loves 80's music, and during her wedding reception a Roxy Music song came on.
I asked Socorro to dance.
She just gave me the "Look", and walked away, along with a little flick of her finger :P
Oh well.

I was just being facetious! I can appreciate female beauty, and even have a taste for some types. For example, I could never see why Elizabeth Taylor was considered a great beauty; I thought Lauren Bacall was far more attractive. If I were straight I think my preference would have been for the young Susan Sontag's looks.
Pardon my ignorance then. I've worked with a few gay men who seemed to be repulsed by women, I could never figure it out. Maybe I was just facetiously impaired.

I am most certainly not repulsed by women in non-sexual interactions with them. I actually admire and enjoy the company of strong, intelligent women very much. I would have loved to meet Sontag.

Your comment prompts the question: does one have to be well-educated to appreciate classical music?
thats an excellent question. i dont think you do.
i got exposed to classical music the way lots of kids did in 5he olden days, in television cartoons.
suppe, prokofiev, rossini, strauss, beethoven . . .
but i can t dance to save my life, so the waltzes are mostly wasted on me

Oh, I would rather have an evening of Richard's than either Johann senior or junior's music. Richard Strauss wrote a lot of other exciting music apart from Also Sprach Zarathustra.

I don't think so, but classical (and others without spoken lyrics or singing) makes excellent study music, so perhaps it's a case of educating yourself while listening to it and at the same time learning to appreciate it. ;D

I have always loved this important composition by Debussy and have quite a few recordings of it. My favourite is by the Hagen Quartet, in terms of performance and recording quality. You will find that it is often paired with the Ravel String Quartet in F major. When I was young the big, fiery works by Stravinsky, Mahler, or Holst appealed; now that I am older I am listening more to chamber music like this Debussy string quartet. I adore Debussy and Ravel's music, but can also recommend Schubert's chamber music if you want to try something from the 19th century.
The first movement of the Ravel String Quartet in F I mentioned.

The Fugees "Killing Me Softly With His Song". This version of the classic is so raw yet elegant at the same time, both simple and magnificent....I heard this on the radio earlier today, and I was mesmerized all over again, like hearing it again for the first time.
Lauryn Hill is so unique.
So of course I had to listen again to this, from her album, "Miseducation of Lauryn Hill". What an incredible album.
^ Lauryn Hill has a pleasing voice. I am annoyed by the percusions that overwhelm her voice. That seems to be the system of choice in today's popular music. Bang - bang- bang - crash. If not the drums it is the over volumed, three chord guitars.
Confession; I was in the high school orchestra....not the same as the high school band. I was a mixed up kid because I was a violent football player and also an orchestra nerd.
As I had no talent for string instruments, woodwind, or brass, I was a percussionist, also with little or no talent. I beat the drums, also the triangle, tympani, wood blocks, bells, and all those things. My revered orchestra teacher was Armando Delgado. He insisted that the percussion instruments never overwhelm the strings or reeds or softer passages of a fine piece of music.
"Del" the name the students lovingly called him, was a man of elegant taste and admirable grace. He did let me do my thing in the introduction to Beethoven's fifth. ( the stirring tympani beat....dum da da dum...etc)
In his honor and my sense of nostalgia, I do not want to hear too much drum in my music of choice. A human voice is to be the feature instrument on some musical arrangements. Not the damned drummer.
Marching bands on the football field is a whole 'nother deal. Let those big bass drums form the cadence.
Here's a challenge for you music lovers. Most of my answers corresponded to his, but not not surprisingly, because he is a composer, I had a few more incorrect ones.

And its got bumper bars too.
And do you see the serious strip on the doors so you can fearlessly open them and park without putting your trust in humankind.
I covered up the rust the best I shoddily could and sold mine for dollars to build my house.
it was the toyota corona that surpassed the ford model t to become the most built car in history

The emotional Lenny is always entertaining to watch, but I prefer a more analytical approach to this piece. My current favourite version is by the Finnish conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen on DG, recorded in 2006, both for his absolute precision and the accurate sound of the recording. You should listen to the Salonen recording, which is very good to show off your sound system and to annoy the neighbours. Here Esa-Pekka Salonen discusses Le Sacre du Printemps.

one time in my life i got to ride monkey on a sidecar outfit, full kneeler. it was a yamaha 650 set up to roadrace. i gave the owner a spare kill switch because he forgot to install one and in return he took me out on the runway for five or ten minutes.
the monkey is what keeps the rig fromm flipping over in the turns. youve got to put all your weight to the onside. so on lefts youre hanging over the bike and rider and on rights youre hanging off the chair as far out as your arms are long, with your face skimming inches from the asphalt.
no hot chicks except the one i brought with me though. just hairy legged men. lots of women do LSR but they dont seem interested in the sidecars.

Of all Schubert's lieder, this is probably my favourite. Der Hirt auf dem Felsen.

I predict that we are going to hear a lot more from Alma Deutscher, a composer who is only 15.
She is in good company. Edgard Varese was inspired by the street sounds of New York, when arrived there from France, and wrote Ionisation around 1930. It features the sound of a siren.
Sorry that my obsessions are getting the better of me but, I couldn't resist posting another performance of the Varese piece. It shows details of the instruments used very nicely.
That hanging drum with the cord through it is called a lion's roar.
I love Varese so much that I did a painting inspired by his Hyperprism (1923) some time ago.
Sometimes in my more melancholic moods I listen to Nina....
Ain't Got No, I Got Life - Nina Simone

Ain't got no money, Ain't got no clothes

Good choice. The world is divided into Gene Kelly types or Fred Astaire types. I am definitely a Gene Kelly man.
I admire both of these men quite a bit. Fred was extremely graceful, and there was a level of perfectionism to his movement that was simply amazing. A supremely gifted singer, but an even more gifted dancer. (I had an Uncle Alphonse who he reminded me of)
Here he is at 71 years of age dancing at the Oscars, and why they didn't give him a standing ovation for this amazing performance we'll never know!
However. Like you, Gene was my man. Loved his voice, better singer than Fred I think, and his athletic style of dance and movement was way ahead of his time.
Plus besides being a lifelong Democrat he was an agnostic.
Here he is with the lovely Judy Garland.

I liked that! Are you familiar with the Finnish group Children of Bodom?
Sounds familiar, I've listened to a lot of Finnish and Norwegian metal, it's difficult to find a bad song in that bucket.
I listen almost exclusively to classical music, but can appreciate Children of Bodom's creativity and musicianship.
I was picturing Gene and/or Fred dancing to either Slayer or Children of Bodom while I was listening to these tracks, so then I got up and did a little dance in the kitchen...my son was walking by and kind of rolled his eyes and shook his head.
I thought I did them proud, but maybe not.
...While being rather impressed with myself, too.

I requested this from Papasito Bruno, but he had some weak excuse. I think he's just too lazy to play it, so here is Alí Arango playing Tarrega's Recuerdos de la Alhambra:

I went to the capital of Rwanda very shortly after the genocide ended to train scientists at their resurrected Standards Bureau. It was not a happy place and I didn't feel safe at all. It was exclusively French, but I got by with my limited French. In subsequent years I've seen a steady improvement. I stayed at the Hotel de Mille Collines at least 3 times. That's the famous hotel in the movie Hotel Rwanda.

btw, he has also had a run in with the local ohio police for walking-while-black.
he was on the sidewalk in the county seat late at night-- a 16 year old kid from another continent-- and the pigs had to stop and interrogate him for the crime of being dark.
what's the world coming to. the kid isnt even a native and he still has to put up with the american police attitudes to black americans.

^ :this:
I have some serious feelings about the treatment of our native Americans and how we stole their land and subjugated and abused them without mercy.
I'm parts Cherokee and Seminole. I've never visited a reservation however. I'm mostly English and Irish. But there is enough Native American to turn my uncle red. I have an olive skin complexion. So I don't know the mixtures.
I've always hated how the natives were treated and the land our ancestors stole. My family immigrated from Ireland during world war two so they weren't a part of the mistreatment. My English side, however, I don't know when they came over or if they were involved with the land take over. Probably not.
Anyway, I remember being taught in Elementary school about the Trail of Tears. It was glossed over I'm sure from what really happened.
i can tell you what happened.
that son of a bitch andrew jackson and his complicit congress, under military force, rounded up the civilized tribes from the american south and made them relocate to oklahoma, over several years in the 1830s. these were the cherokee, chickasaw, choctaw, seminole, and creek tribes. various clans of the cherokees and seminole resisted the relocation and still have a dubious tribal existence in the east.
th eindians were forced to leave with little more than they could load in a wagon and carry. in some instances, white looters broke into their homes from the back while they were being rounded up in the front.
thousands of people died due to exposure, exhaustion, and starvation. old people and children froze to death and were buried by the side of the road. the cherokees especially were mistreated, as most of them walked and could bring only what they carried.
jackson had been prohibited from processign the removal by the supremem court. he ignored the injunction and did it anyway.
i had ancestors on the trail of tears on my mothers side ampong the chickasaws, and on my fathers among the cherokees.
other members of my mother's family came from the choctaw.
there was no legal excuse for the relocation. the civilized tribes had attempted to integrate, had a compatible culture, thir own written language and newspapers, and were assimilating into while society. but the ones who lived on tribal lands were removed. the entire affair was a simple land grab in order for the whites to take over the indian farmlands.
if becoming religious would ensure andrew jackson a place in hell, i would consider converting back to a believer.
but if the rollnng stones had never mae but one piece of music, this would be the one.
keith richards does both guitars in the beginning.

That is so wonderful. In spite of his image, he was a gentle, warm-hearted man. I find it amusing, but not surprising, that he had an affair with Coco Chanel.
damn im sorry but there's more. this one starts from the beginning, with bernstein introducing the old fart himslef/
what a master. he's playing the whole thing in his head as the performance goes on, and just trying to get the orchestra to duplicate whats going on inside him

Perhaps that is the purest form of appreciation. My enjoyment of music and the visual arts is always mixed with the need to over-analyze the work. It does not reduce the enjoyment, but sometimes I think I should just relax and let the music engulf me.
im still not done. i didn't know this recording existed. 1929. its very different from contemporary interpretations. faster in parts, slower in others, different emphasis on particular suites of instruments that are playing simultaneously. i'm fascinated to hear the composers themselves conduct their own works. what they created then is so often not what is performed now. like old bernstein said in the previous piece.
the rite of spring was the first piece of symphonic music i ever discovered on my own
i have never lost my fascination for it. if i put it on, i'm lost. everything stops until its over.

That is one of the things I love about classical music. It sounds hackneyed, but to me it's an exciting journey of discovery. It makes my day to come across a new composer or piece of music.
Scarbo is part 3 of Gaspard de la Nuit. Ravel and Debussy wrote some of the most exciting music for the piano.
It's interesting to see the sheet music during a performance. Here Ivo Pogorelich plays the entire Gaspard de la Nuit by Ravel. Mortals can only dream of playing like him.
I like to listen to Ravel when I am painting.
I admire Ian Anderson, so the reaction of this classical flautist to his playing is interesting to me.

Flautist is probably difficult to pronounce properly in most American accents. I suspect most of you will say
flahtist, instead of what I consider correct:
flawtist, with the
au sounded like the oo in floor. Tank, how about in your neck of the woods?
I think the term
flutist is used commonly in the USA, while in British English
flautist is more common.

how are musical memories stored? what connections hold certain things together with what other things?
what do artists see when they look at the same things i do, or hear? what does a memory of music look like to a musician?
i still look at the stuff artists do and try to figure out how their minds sees these things. whatever they see/hear/feel/imagine

I would have been surprised if you would have know the song. It was a number 1 hit in the Netherlands and Belgium only.
Here is Streisand and Niel Diamond doing doing a song that has some philosophic implications.
In January 1984, my wife of thirty years died suddenly from a coronary incident. I had been a loyal husband and a dedicated worker determined to provide for my family. By that time we were empty nesters and we had accumulated a tiny bit of security. We were not wealthy but we were not poor. Still I persisted with work almost all the time. I did not let her know enough, how much I loved her. Too damned busy with work all the time.
After her death I was in deep depression and after another 35 years I still damn myself for not having brought her flowers anymore. Listen to me, you husbands out there...........do bring your wife flowers for no reason at all except that you love and appreciate her.

This is the song that got me started listening to other music besides my father's version of country. I learned to play this song much later though.

the second movement has come into my head randomly for like forty years. odd. the guy has been dead for almost 200 years now and yet produced something that lived long after him.
is doing that of any value? the teacher of ecclesiastes called it vanity to think so, but i think the teacher was wrong. nothing is ever repeated, nothing comes around again. to think so merely exposes a shallowness of understanding.

jeez that's over my head
If you are referring to the Shostakovich 5, I hope you mean that you found it overwhelming. Isn't classical music an exciting journey? I can still remember how excited I was when I heard Bernstein's recording for the first time when I was about 22. I rushed out to buy the LP the next morning and invited some friends over to hear it.
The 5 has a fascinating history: if you aren't familiar with it, it makes interesting reading. I am in the camp that believes Shostakovich didn't capitulate, but was playing a very clever game and the 5 was actually a fuck you gesture to Stalin.
Shostakovich wrote two beautiful piano concertos that are worth exploring.
Shostakovich had a gentler side.
well i meant it when i said that piece was over my head.

Oh, that is heaven! Two of my favourite people: Hilary Hahn with Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting. That is the creme de la creme. By coincidence I was listening to the Brahms Variations on a Theme by Haydn yesterday, with the lovely St Anthony Chorale as the first variation, played by the Budapest Festival under Ivan Fischer.
Brahms is perceived as not being in the same class as Beethoven, but Schoenberg said that Brahms was a source of inspiration for him in his radical experiments. That is good enough for me.

She did a stellar Sibelius Violin Concerto, also with Salonen conducting the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. I don't know whether it is on YouTube — will check later when I've woken up properly.
glass again. i lived in arizona when this came out as a motion picture soundtrack and the audience was full of hopis. the emerging bats against the navajo sandstone was a surreal image, as was the frankly malevolent presentation of the lake downstream from glen canyon dam.
people in arizona have never forgotten what was flooded to make that lake.
i can't read music but i'm visual so the graphic presentation helps me understand the structure of what glass was doing. i saw the sheet music for stravinsky's rite of spring once, and even though i couldn't read it i could hear some of the music.

i think there is a synergistic efect betwen artist and art on music, in that certain people are unavoidably drawn to certain forms of expression, and the intermingling between creativitiy and expression channels and changes them.
the various handpans are simply . . gentle. it's a form of music that consistently elicits a mental state that i would very much to cultivate.
she uses the lower surface of the instrument. elsewhere. i've never seen anybody do that.
I love listening to the Pan flute.

QuoteHey, I'm feeling so dirty, you're looking so clean
And all you can give is a spin in your washing machine

She leaves me in the rain with telescopic umbrella

Oh, the pain
Modern love can be a strain
Oh, the pain
Modern love can be a strain

I trusted my Venus was untouched in her shell
But the pearls in her oyster were tacky as hell
For Lady Godiva I came incognito
But her driver had stolen her red hot Magneto

Oh, the pain
Modern love can be a strain
Oh, the pain
Modern love can be a strain

Can't handle modern love at all

Hey, I worship Diana by the light of the moon
When I pull out my pipe, she screams out of tune
In Paris my heart sinks when I see the Mona Lisa

this track in particular inspired an appropriate video. i race a 60 year oldmotorcycle at speeds 50 percent above what it was desined for. this video of this famous surfing run speaks to me very clearly-- you are only here briefly, and what you choose to define yourself as determiones what you do. is this clear? your own philosophy is primary, because the life you live follows from that
perhaps more succinctly? what you are is a consequence of what you choose to be.
choose, and live the choice..
Billy you can come pretty close to this instrument with part of a 55 gallon drum. The Bahamians are most musical with their "steel drums". Cut off about 10 inches more or less of the barrel. Use your ball peen hammer to pound some deflections into several areas of the bottom part of the drum. Each of those indentations will produce a different sound frequency when struck with a mallet. Steel drum orchestras indeed make some fine music.

That was quite beautiful. I've never seen an instrument like that. I mean, I've seen steel drums before but nothing like this. It's amazing that something that looks so simple can produce music like that.
i think th efirst ones were the hang drums from around 2000? the original maker has stopped producing them. since then there are other makers like opsilon. th ehangs and opsilons run about US$2000-plus, but you can buy studnt instruments for around three or four hundred dollars
the musicians make it look easy, but if you watch their hands it's quite apparent that the sound is from the talent. some basic patterns are just left-right-left-right, but even when that's whats happening is more complex.
watch kate stone when she plays a basic rhythm with one hand and then inserts a melody with the other..she switches rhythm-melody between hands whenever she needs to reach around the instrument for a different note. you can produce chords by striking pairs of tonal parts, or even make sinusoidal tones by rubbing the drum like when you rub your fingertip around the wet rim of a wine glass.
that salt flat in the last video is in bolivia. the high elevation salt flats there are used for land speed racing, if you have the money to play in that league. ralph hudson took a turbocharged 600 cc machine to over 300mph up there. 12,000 feet, so if you cant run boost, youre wasting your time.
She makes it look simple like she barely has to touch the indentions in it. She's quite talented.

i love edgar froese. tangerine dream managed to do a lot of frothy crap, but this ominous and compellin g soundtrack has kept my attention for decades.
willam freidkin made a movie that is over the top in a few places of contrived drama, but succeeds completely in what i regard as a finer method of making a motion picture-- one in which you don't lisen to characters explain the plot, but instead simpply arrive as an observer, and must fill in the backstory and the implications on your own by what you see as you show up in th emiddle of everything.
freidkin was widely panned for this film, but it has outlasted its critics. if you wan to see an experimental film about a story to be told mostly without dialog, this is a god place to start.

From what I've heard, it's an apocryphal story.

illy you can get a start by finding an old neon transformer. They are made in various voltages in the region of 10,000 v. I had great fun with them as a kid. Electrocuting ants was one of the more cruel uses. A fluorescent lamp can be made to glow by bringing only one of the output leads near the tube and lots of other fun things too. The transformer can be made into a most effective rodent eliminator if that is your aim.
The transformer is not as nifty a toy as a legitimate Tesla coil system but it will be cheap and ready built.

I think Grant is one of the greats, so many listenable songs, sung without resorting to the ubiquitous American accent.
He deaded in 2006, heart reportedly, he was partial to the heroin.
He calls his other who wants their ring back an Indian giver in a song, shouldn't need the present day ever present so righteous to know that term is problematic.

Edward Gardner conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
This is currently my favourite performance of the Beethoven Triple Concerto. It is playing right now on my big system as I am typing this. Here is the same recording I found on YouTube.
David Zinman conducts the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, with Yefim Bronfman (piano ), Gil Shaham (violin), and Truls Mørk (cello).

On February, 2021, Kooymans announced that he was suffering from ALS and would retire. Shortly afterward, Golden Earring announced they would disband.

that is an odd selection.
This is why I love classical music (for want of a better word) so much. To me it is an adventure; I am always discovering new paths and exploring them. I have a few works by the Finnish composer Kalevi Aho in my collection, but this Concerto for Percussion & Orchestra is new to me. At one point I think I hear a quotation from Bernstein's Dance at the Gym.
Lulu, my parrot, seems to be enjoying it as well.
how cool is that?
i was looking at it going, who's the roadie walking around the stage in a short sleeve shirt? he's pushing the time envelope.
then he p[icked up the harness. is there anything he can't play?

I have grown quite fond of Aho's music. That brilliant percussionist is Austrian, I think.
My parrot responds to different types of music. She sings along to Mozart and Bach, as well as more modern music like Stravinsky. I just had a thought: I should play some of Messiaen's bird song inspired pieces. I am not a big Messiaen fan, but I'm sure I have something suitable by him in my collection.
if she sings to stravinsky shes my kind of bird

This reminds me of when I was in 4th Grade I think and we had read
The Hobbit along with the teacher for Literature class. When it was time to quiz us, the teacher sat me next to a boy who decided to cheat on the test by glancing over to my sheet of paper and copying my answers.
He was hardly sutil in his attempts and I quickly noticed what he was doing. Because I didn't like him at all, and didn't want to get into trouble after us both handing in identical test papers, I wrote down the wrong answers to all the questions and after I saw that he had copied them I quickly erased them and wrote what I thought was correct.
When the test results came back I had done really well, and he obviously hadn't. He was livid when he came to me and asked why I had changed my answers -- that those weren't the ones he had copied. :lol:
What do you even reply to a person like that? ::)

Perhaps not appropriate for fourth grade responses............"you lazy shithead, you are capable of learning to answer these questions as accurately as I can." ..... " You are a miserable user whose destiny is to remain a loser unless you make some adjustments to your attitude". You could also have added ..."eat shit and die!"
But wait! What if the kid had some emotional difficulties like a broken home, abusive parents....did he have something like ADD or other learning difficulties? Cheating on his behalf would not have been appropriate but maybe we needed to give the kid some kind of help.

Schubert is indeed worth exploring — I don't think I could live without listening to him quite often. His output is so big that it is useful to use the D system to refer to his compositions to avoid confusion. It sounds like to too much effort, but one gets used to it very soon, and then it becomes second nature.
I urge you to listen to his lieder for a wonderful experience. Here is a delightful performance of one I've loved since my childhood, the D. 965, also known as Der Hirt auf dem Felsen.
From the time when Britannia ruled the pop world....

the keys being pressed in the representation appear too far apart to be manipulated by a human hand, and the single keys being used to represent the melodies seem pretty simplistic. is the imagery simplified by a machine to represent playing the piece in such a way that a human being would not do?

You raise some interesting questions, to which I have no answers. I am just an amateur lover of music, with no technical knowledge of the inner workings of music, so I listen to music in a very unsophisticated way. My assumption is that this music is partially performed on a synthesizer, along with some traditional classical instruments and chorus. I think we should persuade a professional musician to join our HAF family.
that would be really interesting
im not even sure i know what music is
So, let us attempt to define "music". Here is my shot: a grouping of sonorous sounds, characterized generally and broadly by rhythm and melody, that conveys some emotion without words. If you add words, it is "music and lyrics".

Overall, your definition sounds good to me, but I believe the term "sonorous" is problematic, in a similar way to the word "beautiful" when one tries to define art. On the other hand, I must admit that I cannot offer a better definition.

music: an artificial arrangement of sounds from various sources, conforming to a repetitive rhythm and pattern of notes . . .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUrzvLhxA0M
listen to the chemical brothers in ^^^this. this soundtrack was excellent, but it appears to violate some of what i might have considered musical rules.
or maybe not?
A definition of music isn't possible or, I suspect, even desirable. As soon as we think we've pinned it down, along comes a Debussy or a John Cage who redefines it for us. Meanwhile, all the other lesser composers will carry on, constrained in the straitjacket we call a definition of music. I was reading recently how the critics disapproved of Monteverdi, around 1600, for deviating from the established ideas of earlier music when he was experimenting with new forms of music we now call opera.
Still, I think it is an interesting game to try and define things like music, beauty, or art.
4'33" by John Cage - Live at the Barbican - BBC Four Collections
I can't believe I'm turning 75 next week, because I only feel 25, so forgive me if I indulge in a bit of nostalgia. I spent many nights walking through the dimly lit corridors of bath houses in Amsterdam, looking for a bit of amusement. The music playing in the background was often Andy Bell singing with Erasure.
Another song that evokes the smell of chlorine.

You're right, her voice is haunting. I'm no expert, but to me the recording has a fado-like quality.
I love this version of Sway, by Julie London. She was both a fantastic singer and actress. I had a huge crush on her when I was a young boy as she had a role in the TV series "Emergency".
She passed away late last year.

Gorgeous voice and gorgeous setting for the concert. I loved the drums at the end. Thanks, hermes.
Once again, I am happy that you guys shared my enjoyment. I have decided to investigate the music from that part of the world more, despite the language barrier. They are a bit too far away from the Germanic languages I am fluent in to be intelligible.

Billy. even my close family and friends are sometimes bemused by my likes and dislikes in fashion, music, art, or design. As you say, it is a very personal thing, and you and I probably don't often look over our shoulders, worrying what other people may think or say about what we do. I think there is only interesting music or dull, forgettable music. I was driving recently with Erasure playing on my car's system, with me, a 75-year old, singing along at the top of his voice. It is Schubert, usually.
Btw, I think the The Cult are in the former category!
how do uou sing along to schubert?
Quote from: billy rubin on August 18, 2021, 02:43:39 PM

Well he was a genius at setting poetry to music, often piano accompaniment. He wrote many song cycles that contain tuneful lieder that become embedded in one's mind and easy to sing along to. One of my favourites is D. 965, Der Hirt auf dem Felsen. Try it: it will sweep you off your feet!
Two more Schubert lieder:
D. 257
and
D. 957
i dont think i have the voice for that
This is food for thought, apropos some of the recent topics discussed here.
I love this song, "It's Only, by the the group Odesza, I've included both studio and live performance of the same song.
Vocalist on this track is Zyra (Alexandra Cheatle)

Nihilistic? I thought they were in the tradition of middle class sons questioning why they shouldn't just be doing what they want (not without reasonable restraint), and thinking the life style/choices of their elders isn't what they want to do.

I love this song by "Old Crow Medicine Show". (Chorus was actually written by Bob Dylan, and then 25 years later Ketch Secor from Old Crow Medicine Show wrote the verses...the song then went platinum)
When I hear the song it makes me long for the south, especially Tennessee. Sometimes I hear the song and call an old Army buddy of mine who lives outside Chattanooga. Now when I call him he'll ask me jokingly if I was listening to the song, and I have to tell him, "No I just miss my friend and wanted to talk".
Ironically Ketch wrote the verses while attending school in New Hampshire, and "
feeling homesick for the South".This is my favorite verse:
QuoteWalkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly
Had a nice long toke
But he's a-headed west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
Cool video as well.
This is Dylan's original version of the song (Chorus only)

Daphnis and Chloe is a marvellous ballet you should see some time. Ravel is one of those French composers, along with Debussy, I cannot imagine living without, and I adore literally every single note they wrote. At the level of simply listening to music and enjoying it, I don't believe it necessary to understand the mechanics of music.
If you liked this, I urge you to explore La Mer by Debussy, which is another "Impressionistic" piece of music.
i love debussey . he was one of the first co.posers of symphonic music i ever foundon my own.
they say debussey was annoyed by people comparing him to the impressionists. im not sure why, except that the impressionists pissed everybody off at first.

Ravel was a master orchestrator, but his solo piano pieces are the pinnacle of his work. One of them, called La vallée des Cloches from Miroirs, inspired Percy Grainger to orchestrate it. Parts of it sound like Pink Floyd.

Not really, apart from the normal development of a composer's style over the years. Some of it may well be symptomatic of his neurological condition towards the end.
This is a really beautiful song, very melancholic...sounds old, with deep, and very meaningful lyrics.

no cgi in this film. it was 100 percent analog wysiwyg, which is perhaps why it is so compelling. nothing in it is altered. all of it is real. and its got weird references, like when the warrior is killed by a volley of arrows, and falls back, supported by their shafts. thats straight out of the mahabharata, and makes me wonder what else am missing.

Gaydar is derived from radar. It is the uncanny ability of gay people to detect other gay people, sometimes at a great distance, while straight people may be totally unaware of the truth.
Interesting.
I didn't know this.
What percent of the time would you say your Gaydar is correct?

Why, don't you like it? Ravel, Gershwin, Stravinsky, even Hindemith, were influenced by jazz in the 1920s. This is an example of the product, which I appreciate. But then, Ravel can't do anything wrong in my ears.
no, its fascinating. ravel is mystery to me.
this in particular is one of those musical pieces that is just over my head. i don't have the understanding necessary to appreciate it. i can like it, but what i can bring to the listening is just rudimentary
i am totally incompetent with respect to straight-up jazz. ive been to some jazz improvs in san francisco, and i felt like a box turtle looking at the mona lisa

I am not a great jazz fan myself. The classical composers who were influenced by jazz used its forms, but even Gershwin's jazzy pieces are not true jazz, because their compositions are rigidly notated, with very little scope for improvisation.
A young virtuoso interprets Asturias by Isaac Albeniz.
im sorry
i tried listening to that but became distracted by the editing of the video.
i started it over and counted 129 separate camera cuts from beginning to end, in four minutes and 11 seconds. maybe 130.
anyway, i'll put it back on and switch to a different window so i can actually listen.
Brilliant showman who tears up a lovely piece of classical guitar music. No matter he is a spectacular guitarist.

Marcin is an incredible guitarist, sometimes when I hear a virtuoso like this I think to myself what is the point of me playing, and just consider throwing my guitars into our fire pit in the backyard (JK 8))
I really admire his interpretation of this song, taking the old, adding a dash of new, and then sautéing it all together with his unique style...thanks for posting Hermes :)
I love this version by Novelle Vague of the 80's hit "I Melt With You", by Modern English. (I hear the original version and I think back to myself in the 80's, with weird clothes, weirder hair, and weekends spent in the clubs)
Here's the original version.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I feel the same when I look at paintings by Tapies and sculptures by Paolozzi: why do I even bother to do anything myself? But that isn't the right attitude. We should look to the masters for inspiration and keep doing our own thing.
I thought you would appreciate the video. Just yesterday I was listening to guitar music by lesser-known composers and thought I should introduce them in the Exploring Music thread.

When he was a young man Debussy attended an Exposition in Paris (where the new Eiffel Tower was also located), where he heard a gamelan group from Indonesia. It seems that he was totally overwhelmed and spent many ours listening to them. They had a great influence on his music.

jack london said it all:
"I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time."
possibly the most important thing he ever wrote
i first encountered rod stewart at the oval cricket ground in london. 1971, towards the end of twelve-hour hit of blotter acid.
this lyric poet and that single summer day in england shaped me in ways its short duration has forever after left me bemused.
anyway, seventeen years later he came up with ^^^this
thought provoking, but in its interpretation i have never thought of the young ones we scatter after our time, which apparently was stewart's intent. but rather of the others who were young alongside us, young forever in the hindsight that remains. this is not a nostalgia for something that is past that we would recover, but a recognition that all of us stride forward into our future with an inevitable requirement that we leave our past and our past companions behind, frozen forever in the stasis of our memory. knowing that those we once knew still grow and mature absent our relationship, as we do absent theirs, but that we can only imagine the tree that grows, flowers, and bears fruit, even when we cannot stand alongside.
thank you for your attention

That is a great quote by Jack London, definitely one of my favorites of his as well...reminds me of some lyrics by Neil Young and Jeff Blackburn, from the song "Hey, Hey, My, My"
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
Out of the blue and into the black
You pay for this, but they give you that
And once you're gone, you can't come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black.
The king is gone but he's not forgotten
Is this the tale of Johnny rotten?
It's better to burn out than fade awayThe king is gone but he's not forgotten.
Hey hey, my my

There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
I think Kurgan said it best though:
Now on to Mr Robin Trower...god I haven't heard that song in ages, and listening to it certainly brought back some memories. I just listened to it three times in a row, and since no-one else is currently at home I really cranked up the fucking volume!!
I feel like I've been transported back in time.
I saw him in concert here in Detroit around 1980, I was about 16 years old. The concert was at the Masonic Temple in Detroit, which was and may still be the largest Masonic Temple in the world...seats about 4500 people. We had fairly decent seats, and I can actually still remember him playing this song which was the favorite of my friends and I.
We used to think we were so fucking cool when we learned how to play that opening riff.
Thanks for posting this, I'm just going to bury myself tonight in some more of Mr Tower's music, and simply fade away....
p.s. While listening to this song now a fourth time (1974 UK) I discovered that Robin is actually still touring, and is actually coming to Detroit in April 2022. He'll be playing at the Royal Oak Music Theatre which is an awesome venue...so I just texted the info to an old friend to see if he wants to see the show.

So it's settle, and my friend and I are going to see Robin Trower!! (My friends nickname is Cheech. We took Spanish class together in High School, and his Spanish name in class was Francisco, so we called him Chico. Another teacher overheard us calling him Chico, and started to call him Cheech instead, and the name stuck)
I texted Cheech yesterday, sent him a link to the YouTube video Billy posted...then it was a flurry of replies back and forth between us, reminiscing about the concert in 1980 we saw together, and what a great show it was!
Then we discussed possibly seeing him in April, and ended up buying tickets!!
Section B Left, row C...so pretty close...Robin usually plays to the left of drummer so should be in front of us.
All this because Billy posted a video...thank you!!

P.S.
My name in our Spanish class was Pablo :P The teacher wanted everyone to have a Spanish name in class. Usually it was just the Spanish version of our English name. My friends' name is Frank so he was called Francisco. As there is no Spanish version of my name the teacher made me use my middle name of Paul instead, so I became Pablo. I didn't like Pablo, and to make it worse everyone in class including the teacher called me Pablo Cruise after the Pop Band...ugh. I asked the teacher if I could change my name, but she wouldn't let me)

Nadia Boulanger was an important teacher of composition. She taught many of our favourires: Aaron Copland, Philip Glass, Burt Bacharach, Daniel Barenboim, Quincy Jones, Dinu Lipatti, Virgil Thomson, and many others. She refused to accept Gershwin as a student, because she thought it would ruin his style.
A compilation album
Couldn't find Eric's song, this is probably better
i love this piece.
ill never understand it, because it loops its own themes and repeats its motifs in ways that are beyond my skills to keep track of.
this old fart is a master, but he conducts it too slow. its supposed to have more tension. the mood of the composition is supposed to sound like its always trying to get ahead of itself, not to rest on well-timed and sedately phased intervals.
IMHO
I agree with you that Celibidache's performance is too slow. I am particularly fond of Manfred Honeck's version:
If you want a really lively performance, listen to Seiji Ozawa with the San Francisco Symphony, whose recording is in my collection.
Wow, that was a blast from the past. One of the first 45's I ever bought.
That's so nice. Pink Floyd were the best.
And LSD.
We don't hear Stravinsky's playful little Suite No. 1 for Small Orchestra enough.

That's because Neeme Järvi is getting on a bit and may have some back problems. The Mahler 3 is even longer, around 100 minutes. We used to listen to Mahler a lot in my young days — much grass was smoked. You should listen to the Des Knaben Wunderhorn and Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen song cycles.
I have discovered an absolutely marvellous pianist called
Ekaterina Derzhavina, whose 9 CD set of the complete Haydn piano sonatas I've managed to obtain. To show her talent, here is the first movement, Moderato, of the Piano Sonata No. 34, Hob.XVI:19. She is playing a modern piano, I'm guessing a Steinway.
Derzhavina is brilliant.
You should appreciate this one, Icarus.

I was listening to CBC Radio out of Windsor, Ontario yesterday on the way home from the office. I love this station as they actually talk about the music they play, and not just in a generic way, but about the actual songs, and the lyrics, and the music and recordings behind them....not just about who the composer is currently dating, etc...
Anyway I heard the following story about one of my favorites songs, "Killing Me Softly."
This song first came to prominence in 1973 when Roberta Flack released her cover of the song (For which she won a Grammy and Best Performance Award) , and then again in 1996 when the Fugees released their awesome version with Lauryn Hill on vocals (One of my all time favorites)
What I didn't know is that the song was composed by Charles Fox with the lyrics written by Norman Gimbel in collaboration with Lori Liebermann. Lori was inspired to write the lyrics after she saw Don McLean perform live in 1971.
Lori recorded, and released the song in 1972, but the original version did not chart.
A year later Roberta Flack was on an American Airlines flight when she happen to choose the song to listen to while onboard as she was intrigued by the title of the song. She loved the melody and lyrics so much that she decided to perform it herself while on tour with Marvin Gaye. After Marvin heard her perform it he immediately advised her to not sing the song live again until she herself recorded it,...in fact he told her to get it recorded and released as soon as possible as he was sure her version was going to be a hit (Marvin later said it was one of his favorite songs)
Roberta release her cover and the rest is history. Below are all three versions, and I have to say I loved Roberta's cover of the song when I was a kid (I was about 8 when it came out). Her 45 with this song on it was the first vinyl record by a woman I think I ever bought (I think it was the 3rd or 4th record I'd bought)
That said, the I adore the Fugees version of this song even more than Robertas,...sorry Roberta. :'(
Enjoy.

This song first came to prominence in 1973 when Roberta Flack released her cover of the song (For which she won a Grammy and Best Performance Award) , and then again in 1996 when the Fugees released their awesome version with Lauryn Hill on vocals (One of my all time favorites)
What I didn't know is that the song was composed by Charles Fox with the lyrics written by Norman Gimbel in collaboration with Lori Liebermann. Lori was inspired to write the lyrics after she saw Don McLean perform live in 1971.
Lori recorded, and released the song in 1972, but the original version did not chart.
A year later Roberta Flack was on an American Airlines flight when she happen to choose the song to listen to while onboard as she was intrigued by the title of the song. She loved the melody and lyrics so much that she decided to perform it herself while on tour with Marvin Gaye. After Marvin heard her perform it he immediately advised her to not sing the song live again until she herself recorded it,...in fact he told her to get it recorded and released as soon as possible as he was sure her version was going to be a hit (Marvin later said it was one of his favorite songs)
Roberta release her cover and the rest is history. Below are all three versions, and I have to say I loved Roberta's cover of the song when I was a kid (I was about 8 when it came out). Her 45 with this song on it was the first vinyl record by a woman I think I ever bought (I think it was the 3rd or 4th record I'd bought)
That said, the I adore the Fugees version of this song even more than Robertas,...sorry Roberta. :'(
Enjoy.
Lori
Roberta
Fugees (Lauryn)
Lauryn Hill makes the song "Killing Me Softly" more simple and with a lower pitch than Roberta's theatrical version. I find Lauryn Hill added more soul to it. Honestly, I find Lauryn Hill's version of that song to be more emotional, less theatrical, and hypnotic. I find Lauryn's voice to be sexy when her voice has a low pitch in this song.
Mahler was a complex character. For me it has been a worthwhile journey through his music, from his symphonies in my student years to the song cycles in my old age.
Two very different pieces by John Cage.

I am going to attempt to post the greatest album ever that wasn't a Rolling Stones record.
Thank you, Bad Penny II but I'm afraid you've hit a nerve for me. I love Neal Young. My personal favorite album of his is Harvest Moon. (Although I'm liking what you posted. Never heard that album.)
Most of my favorite bands hale from the Seatle reagion in the early 90s. Grunge they called it, or sometimes 'Alternative".
Neil Young is considered the "godfather of grunge". One of my all time favorite bands is Pearl Jam. With little fan fare Pearl Jam signed on to be Neil's backing band for the album Mirror Ball (not even close to my favorite albums list but still).
For a guy who has always questioned "the man" and as recently as 2006 headlined a tour called "The Freedom of Speech Tour" I find it odd that he refuses to share his music on the same platform as a guy who asks questions and says things he, himself, does not approve of.
It's like the kids who questioned authority back in the 60's don't appreciate that sort of attitude now that their generation is at the helm.
Here is a song that was on my playlist I listened to every night I went to sleep in Iraq from 08-09
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
One and the same I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

Ha, I was thinking that song before it started playing.
I have the vinyl and a Mirrorball folder, with only Downtown in it, a DIY vinyl rip, I was never good at those, Ytube is better and it's usually so much worse.

He was a Polio victim as a child as was Joni Mitchel.
Polio is kinda a major life experience.
In the long ago
The Polio horror sweeps through communities everywhere
Some fall to it some don't, all parents fear
Science finds a solution, no need to fear for your children
Not soon enough for Neil and Joni
To the near now, and precious people are falling
Science, wonderful scientists deliver again
Much less fear for our old ones
To the now and opportunists make dollars as conduits of shit
Neil Young: 'If You Support Spotify, You are Destroying an Art Form' (https://variety.com/2022/music/news/neil-young-spotify-destroying-music-1235166455/)
Young stressed in his latest post that he "supports free speech" and "has never been in favor of censorship."
"Private companies have the right to choose what they profit from, just as I can choose not to have my music support a platform that disseminates harmful information," Young writes. "I am happy and proud to stand in solidarity with the front line health care workers who risk their lives every day to help others."
Fuck Joe Rogan and fuck Spotify...I canceled my account with them, and even insisted they delete my personal data so no record or even anonymizing personal data exists on their platform.
LONG LIVE NEIL YOUNG!!
Here's a thing. I was born and raised in the south. I am just stating this as a fact. Growing up I became familiar with the term, "American by birth, Southern by the grace of God."
However, I have no idea what "southern" tradition actually is. I mean, I know what some people who were born and raised elsewhere think it means but my cumulative experience does not reflect popular opinion. It's more like a fun house mirror.
We have a radio station here that bills itself as a classic rock station. WQUT. Riding the bus to school and back and later driving down the road in my own car, I would often hear two songs played back to back.
followed immediately by
It was all just entertainment to me. If Mr. Young doesn't like his music being shared on the same platform as other people who do not hold the same views as he does then he should just delete his entire catalogue and never have his voice heard again.
But that would be a shame in my opinion.

Not all platforms are the same. Spotify is a singular service, not just some radio station. Times are different now, and people pay these platforms subscription fees to listen to the content they provide.
So if an artist doesn't want his music to be played on a certain platform, for which he receives royalties from, for whatever reason he decides, then that should be their right....artists have done this for years. Like when Trump was playing Born in the USA by Springsteen at his rallies. The Boss told him and his organization to stop as it could lead some people to think maybe Bruce supported him (Plus it always cracks me up as this is an anti-Vietnam song, and not a patriot song as many on the right believe)
It's like when statues of racists traitors like Robert-Fucking-Lee get torn down, and people scream that we are somehow erasing history. The history is still there, you can go to a library, a bookstore, online and read plenty of history about the traitor,...hell you can even read fellow racists worshipping Lee.
Statues are put up to honor people, slave owners like Lee don't deserve any honor with statues that glorify them.
Again, Neil's own words say it plainly with regards to fucking anti-vaxxers. Private companies have the right to choose what they profit from, just as I can choose not to have my music support a platform that disseminates harmful information," Young writes. "I am happy and proud to stand in solidarity with the front line health care workers who risk their lives every day to help others."
my grandfathers father wS an infantryman intbe confederacy. fought against tbe fool yanks at chickamauga u der braxton bragg.
growing up in segregated oklahoma, the confederate battle flag was everywhdre. hats, belt buckles, license plates, front yards. i was completely unaware of tbe racistovertones until i was an adult and returned to america from overseas.
i went to university attbesame place my father did, andhis father too. the univdrsity wS in a sundown town. black people had to be out of town by sundown, or sufferconsequences.. so tbere was no niggertown, as they werecalled by whitepeople. the littletown i was born in did have a black section, where things werepretty poor and rundown.
no black kids in my schools in the states. didntknow anyblack people until college. where i live now inthe north is 98 percent gringo, soi still dont know any.
oklaboma is an okay place now to be black i think. as much as anyplace in the south can be. at least it isnt texas
My Great, Great, Great, Grandfather fought in the Civil War as well, though he was on the American side. He was wounded at Gettysburg, and then later marched with Sherman as he toured the South.
He kept a small diary during the war, and then afterwards wrote more expansively about his feelings about the war and the issues that caused it.
He didn't write favorably about those he fought against, especially their leaders. He believed they should have been treated more harshly after the war than they were treated
.
I wish I had the diary and his other writings now because I haven't read them in a long time (After my Grandfather died my Uncle took possession of them. When my Mother discovered he was stealing from his estate she cut off ties with him. I tried later to get copies of the diary and writings, but failed to do so)
Anyway what I do remember is that he wanted to see the leaders of the Confederacy punished, and not the common soldiers who fought the war. He was angry that these men like Lee who swore an oath to the American Constitution could break that oath and not face punishment, even though as he wrote men who didn't want to die in the war and deserted were shot and killed by the same Government who gave a free pass to the men who led an armed revolt against their very country, and killed Americans.
Looking back now it all seems to have been in vain, as here we are 160 years later, and that very history seems at time to be repeating itself.
I don't want to argue with anyone anymore...I get tired of it. My own family has split some in the last several years, with opposing positions on race, and white privilege.
You guys win, I'm done.

Wait...the what now?
The US Constitution defines treason as levying war against the government, as well as aiding and abetting its enemies. By that definition, every single Confederate soldier in the Civil War who fought for the Confederacy, as well as every political leader of the same, was a traitor to the Unites States of America.
So that means those heroic and faithful soldiers like my ancestor, who fought for what some refer to as the Union side, were actually true, and loyal Americans, and they fought on the American side of the war.
The others were traitorous scum.
certainly they were traitors
I'm sure King George III and his loyal subjects felt the same way towards the "American" patriots back in the day.
Let's get back to music - I love the Cowboy Junkies, and I love the Velvet Underground, and I worshipped Lou Reed like a god, so here's the Junkies playing god's music.
I saw the Cowboy Junkies live in Windsor in the mid-80's, small club...they were fantastic.(From what I remember)
First time I ever got high I sat in my room and listened to Trinity Session. Later saw the Junkies at the Tennessee Theater in Knoxville in the 90's. My brother gave me a tape cassette of Lou Reed's Magic and Loss around the same time.
Was never really a fan of the Velvet Underground. Only became aware of them through a movie about The Doors starring Val Kilmer. In 2015 after Trump announced he was running for President I saw this picture.

Covers of songs which I feel are actually better than the original are rare in my opinion, and as much as I love the original Sweet Jane, the Cowboy's really put some ownership to this...I play this often as well, one of my favs.
Here's a cover of a song I definitely feel is better than the original, "Mad World", by Tears for Fears...covered by Gary Jules and Michael Andrews.
100% agree.
Another cover that is better than the original.
ive loved this womans music for 40 years now
shankar, too. she does lots of things with different accompaniests, but i love her classical solo stuff the most
saw her father once in concert with george harrison, long long ago in a galaxy far away
this woman has a backstory
shes tired in this performance, a bit. i cant believe that the audience didnt recognze the song right away.

I agree, Johhny nails this. It's a very moving, and very inspiring version of the song, especially at that time in his life.
I guess I'm in the minority here. I prefer Trent's, all day.
^^^ Oooh! Moonshine and weed, Copperhead Road sounds fabulous. :tellmemore:
I hear tale that it's not too far from where I was born and raised, and currently live.
Youtube just gave me this one
what is time? this video is basd on what would be an old. old motion picture now.
not so old to me.
the world changes, but i seem to stay the same.
fifty years ago, on a drill ship off the coast of borneo, i saw this motion picture, and it taught me something about human existence.
in all the time since, i dont think ive learned anything that contradicts it.

apparently not. he made a career in television but nothing apparently rivalled his role as the disillusioned kowalski in vanishing point.
his character in that motion picture influenced me deeply when i was young, and has continued to stay in my mind later on when i understood more about life. a simple story, but the most profound things always turn out to be simple, dont they?

An odd choice, I suppose, but another one was John Schlesinger's Sunday Bloody Sunday. It clarified a lot of things for me at the age of 25.
I love Telepopmusik 8)
Especially this song.
Saw them in Charleston, SC back in 96 at Wave Fest. The first song they played was Pepper. After the song Gibby straight up said that they just played the one song everyone wanted to hear so ya'll can go home now. And he waited a few minutes. And many many people did leave.
Then he spent the rest of the time playing to his real fans.
They are pretty damn unique.

Very nice! I love this song!
Speaking of Chris Thile, In a city a long long time ago, there was a festival. Blue Plum they called it. He and a couple of friends had formed a band called Nickle Creek. They signed a deal to be one of the headliners of said street festival in a small town located deep in the heart of the southern Appalachian mountains. A few months before their sceduled performance they won a Grammy. Did Chris and the gang renege? Did they demand more money? No.
I remember seeing their tour bus but at that time in particular, I had never heard of them. I did not go to the festival that year. Opportunities missed.
The gang went their seperate ways a short while later.
Here he is with some of the most talented musicians in their field.
That's Chris Thile, Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, and Aoife O'Donovan.
that was spectacula4
I had to listen when I saw Yo-Yo Ma's name. I enjoyed it very much.
I love Rumours, Rumours and Hotel California 1977, I was 14 for 55% of it.
I remember walking/running home from a friends place late at night with Don't Stop in my head acting sprightly like those gazelles in Africa so the passing cars didn't see me as weak and stop and kill me.

This is an interesting video, where the boys look at some first class classical performances. I love watching their reactions. Look at their faces when they listen to Hilary Hahn and Janine Jansen; my reaction is the same when I listen to them.
My only quibble is their assessment of Anne-Sophie Mutter, whose playing has never appealed to me. But then, I am just a rank amateur compared to these guys.

That was really fun to watch. Plus, the performances they listened to are simply incredible....there is simply nothing comparable in my mind to the violin, it is the most beautiful of all musical instruments.
I love Hilary Hahn...I think I have posted a video here before of her performance of Beethoven's Violin Concerto with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
This is my all-time, absolute favorite piece of music. When I discovered classical music as a young teenager, and came across Beethoven's masterpiece I listened to it non-stop in my room. Often while reading, sometimes just sitting listening. As soon as the tape ended I would play over again.
My father was very confused, because normally I would drive him crazy listening to all sorts rock and roll, punk-rock, etc...he was constantly yelling at me to turn down my stereo, and now here I was listening to classical music.
Of course I still listened to it loud, but he didn't want to tell me to turn it down as he much preferred Beethoven over Lou Reed, the Clash and Van Halen. He just didn't understand why I would listen to the same performance over and over again.
He also told my mother that he didn't understand how I could have such a mixed appreciation of music...though he did get tired of me playing Beethoven's Violin Concerto over and over again.
I had a really nice, and expensive stereo system in our basement, and when I moved the equipment into my bedroom my father told me that I would have to move it back into the basement as there was no way in hell he was going to put up with my loud music on the main floor of our home, but then I showed him the new stereo headphones I bought, and he was both extremely impressed with the sound quality, and overjoyed with the notion that he wouldn't have to hear my music anymore.
Anyway I'll post it again!

Funny side note. I once worked in a call center as customer service for Southern California Edison Electric. I had access to every single customers routing numbers, checking acount numbers, phone numbers, checking account numbers or credit card numbers depending on how the paid their bill.
One of our customers was Robert Van Winkle.
Here is a cover version of his song as re-imagined by him.
Good one Mr. B A real band and a smoothly talented vocalist who can scat.
Mary Spender is amazing, and this is a beautiful cover of this song,...I simply adore her guitar playing. She's an incredible fingerstyle guitar player. She also has an awesome YouTube channel, that features not only her own music, but also covers similar to this one, plus interviews and others dedicated to music technology.
She's definitely worth a follow...
The other guy in this video is pretty good as well.

The other day on the "You Choose" thread over in the Laid Back Lounge the song "Southern Cross," came up in the discussion. Billy had posed a choice between Sailing or Power boating, and I chose Sailing, and referenced this song which I have always loved by Crosby, Stills and Nash.
Yesterday the sun was shining, the weather was warm so I went for a 5-6 walk in the afternoon. I had my headphones on and was listening to my Neil Young Pandora station, and right at the end of my walk this song came on and it was just perfect....song literally ended as I came to the front of my house with a huge smile on my face.
This song came out in 82' during my senior year in High School, and I immediately fell in love with it....and the video which came out featured video of Stills sailing on a large boat.
I actually got to see it the first time while I was in Central America, it was really low on the horizon, but later saw it better when I was in South America.
Anyway it's a beautiful song...
Sometimes it feels like it, but we're not spinning like Dorothy.

No, they have an Australian accent. As far as British accents go, that is a fascinating topic.
is that what it is? i am no longer any good at souther hemisphere accents because i dont get to hear them. i used to be able to distinguish australia from new zealand from british south african. but now i cant even tell australian from welsh.
the british are like texas, as many accents as there are places to stop and listen. but with many more
cannot top Hermes links. I enjoyed them all. Here is a Finn doing his bit.
I have been impressed by the ability of so many of the Ukrainians, interviewed on TV, who speak good English. "good English" being a typical American assessment of correctness.
I once had a Taiwanese customer for the product that I manufactured. We often spoke on the phone. His English was impeccable by my American standards. One time I asked him why so many Asian people speak English so well. His reply was "English is the language of money."
Thank you Icarus. I admire a few Finnish musicians and have heard them speak. I find the typical Finnish accent very attractive.

The Cost of LivingBy: Juan Luis Guerra.
The cost of living rises again and the peso's worth goes down so much that you can't see it anymore.
You can't eat beans
or a pound of rice or quarter-pound of coffee.
Nobody cares what you think.
Is it because we don't speak English here?
Ah ah it's true .. ah ah it's 'true. ah ah it's true.
Do you understand?
Do you do you?
And gasoline goes up again. The peso is so low that you can't see it anymore. And democracy can not grow if corruption plays chess.
Nobody cares what you think.
Is it because here we don't speak French?
Ah ah ah ah...
Vous parlez?
Vous parlez?
Vous parlez?
Ah ah ah ah
No monsieur.
We are a hole between the sea and sky 500 years later.

Oh, the cost of living
is going up, see.
The peso so low
you see, poor thing, can't see it.
And medicine, see, walks backward, here. They don't cure, see, a foot blister, here here see here here.
And now unemployment just bit me too.
Nobody cares no, neither Mitsubishi, see, nor Chevrolet.
Corruption going up
you see going up you see.
The peso that goes down, you see, poor thing, can't see it.
And delinquency, you see, just caught me again

And now unemployment just bit me too.

There is something almost Floydian about this music video. Hmm... I guess I know what I'm listening to next.
That said, a beautiful song. It's been on a majority of my playlists since release.
...Aaand as promised;
This song speaks to me on far more levels than what is healthy, although I do prefer the full version that goes "...nurse it or give it a name - Or stay home by the fire, felled by desire, stoking the flame - But we're here for the ride..."

This is one of my favourite songs of him
I find Castles among his most inspiring (but for the chorus... Those are Tom's largest point-of-miss with me), but This House, I'm Sorry and No Response are heaviest-rotation.
I like Names for the message and the subtle rock theme to the beat, but it's still very new, so not sure if it will grow on me or if the chorus will drive me away.

Rap utilises different lyrical techniques.
A singer attempts to hit certain notes to conform his voice to the melody - or "play" a melody with his voice.
A rapper conforms his speaking to the flow - or attempts to create a flow through rhyme and rhythm, rather than hitting notes.

Well his avatar is but he could be blue for all I know! ;D
Well, The Asmo is gray, which is achromatic, what with being a blend ow huwhite and black, so technically, I suppose it means He hath no colour. although equally technically, that would mean that nobody huwhite or black does, either.
Come to think of it, CMY can produce black. RGB can produce white. The only way to produce gray is by lightening black, or darkening white. The Asmo is so totally the uniquest-est of all achromatic beings!
I'm transparent.
...So I generally don't like Tom Macdonald's choruses. That got me thinking; is there a artist out there, whose choruses I like
better than the rest of their lyrics? (On average)
Aaand... Moonspell. Portugese Gothic (give-or-take) Metal.
A little harder-hitting one for those who appreciate such;
i first heard a studio recording of hedges playing this some forty plus yeares ago. i stopped what i was doing and just lisened.

headges has been dead over twenty five years, but this connectionm will aways be there.
and he never took himself seriously, ever. go to 7:00 to hear an iron butterfly riff he just threw in for fun
Thanks. I've never heard of Michael Hedges. To my untrained ears his playing seems to be on a par with classical guitarists like John Williams or David Russell.
he was amazing. his style of playing was very unusual. watch his hands. hes fingering the guitar strings with both hands simultaneously.
he died without any money. his recording company, wyndham hill , assembled an album out of unreleased music and directed the proceeds to his two young sons.

he's abstract, like mozart, but he's not so . . . intense, maybe?
mozart always sounds to me like he's chainsmoking while he plays, and this guy is more of a sit-down-and-enjoy-this sound.
maybe not. i feel pretty pretentious trying to categorize this stuff. but i'm rebuilding 50-year-old carburetters today, and vivaldi suits it better than mozart.

There are worse things than ABBA to smite. For example: dreadful Christmas songs (like USA for Africa's "We are the world" and Wham's "Last Christmas), Boys Band music, Justin Bieber. most rap "music" and more.

The Asmo steals Himself a hand, a pen and a little black book.
[Scribbling noises]
"We are the world." Yes, yea, a most worthy nomination for smiting
"Last Christmas." It's gay, but not in a good way... Kind-of like ABBA. Mhm.
Boy bands... Yeah, it depends. The vast majority is eye-candy-type garbage. Thing is though, it's
unremarkable garbage. Like... What would a Asmo even smite?
Everything?[Furious scribbling sounds]
Everything!Justin Bieber... The Asmo could actually consider letting that one escape unsmit-smited-smote-smitten. He's... Bad, but no more than a money printing machine for others. Like, if given a chance, what's a young teen supposed to do? Sell the fuck out, is what. I think he's paid for it in some ways.
Most rap, yes. Especially mumble rap and everything that has nothing more to it than hoes and bling.
As is often the case, I don't particularly like Tom's chorus, but his energy and lyrics combined with the visuals are in a class of one.

Bernstein was a larger than life genius. He was obviously familiar with the Second Viennese School when he was 19. I can hear an Alban Berg (whose music I enjoy) influence.
On second thought, probably more Bartok.
ive told you once before that some musical pieces are just over my head.
this is another. it will take me a long time to figure out how to listen to what it is. i dont understand enoug h about music to see what hes doing
doesnt mean i dont like it. just that i dont know enogh to appreciate it
To me, the important thing is to enjoy whatever time I have left by listening to music and looking at art that speaks to me, without necessarily understanding the inner workings or the meaning of the works. But, people differ, and you probably heave a bigger need to understand things than I do.
im more analytical, really.

This just sends tingles up my spine. I was in a bar in Chicago in the late 90's. There was karaoke going on. The usual 95% singers and 10% comedy types. This girl got up and sang this , un-fucking believable!!! The whole place erupted in applause when she finished. Still one of me favourite female vocalists.
Listen to Autumn Leaves, as might have been played by Chopin, Mozart, Mendelsson. and a few of the masters. Educational for we sluggards.

That was ... pleasant.
Yesh, I listen to the "entire spectrum" of music, but lean heavily towards this kind of laid-back, easy on the ears sort of stuff, perferably with good lyrics, and pretty much the exact opposite - aggressive industrial rock, metalcore and the like.
My playlists are... Weird. But also, varied.

Ooh, nice! Haven't heard that one in a while.
A nice introduction to the music of Johannes Brahms by a young composer. I was astonished when I first heard that the great Arnold Schoenberg thought of Brahms as a radical innovator, as of course was Schoenberg himself.
In this video Nahre Sol talks about conductors.
Hermes, the spokesperson, Nahre Sol, is herself a brilliant musician. She is also rather charming on the several videos that she has made.
As an aside, I wonder at her surname. Sol sounds very near Jewish and she is clearly an Asian. I suppose that there are Asian Jews. If so, she is another of House Of David individuals who have demonstrated exceptional talent and intellect.

To my shame, I admit that I've never heard of Lara Fabian before, although she has sold millions of records.
years ago i was driving across oklahoma in my 67 chevrolet half-ton, and picked up some hitchhikers in the dark. they were going to to a tull concert in the nearby college town and had been stopped by the pigs on th ehighway.
they had been smoking pot, and the pigs arrested the driver and called for the car to be towd. so they went on to the concert without him, which i at the time i thought somewhat cold.
but those were strange days.
strange days, indeed.
Ian Anderson is one of my heroes. Strange days, indeed, but underneath it all there was a sincere, naïve belief that we could achieve a better society. I never believed that dropping out was the way to do it—I thought it was more effective to stay in the system and try to undermine it from the inside.

i lean towards th eposition that you cant change anything but yourself, and if you do, then society is better for it-- at least the part that that you occupy. but yes, i agree that every genertion rediscovers that it is mostly impotent against the forces of social entropy.

No, I didn't mean Ian Anderson. On the contrary, I think he and his music were far from naïve. I meant our hippy hopes of changing the world for the better were naïve.
I think there is a case for saying things have gotten better in my lifetime, since the early sixties.

Excellent performance, conducted by, Vladimir Ashkenazy, who is also a brilliant pianist. I own that very same recording. Debussy is up there with with Bach and Mozart in my opinion.

This is the studio version.

Yes, I do tend to prefer lyrics over the melody in music that has a lyrical component, and given a just universe, Dancing Queen would have been smited before ever it hit the radio waves... And so would most of Rednex' music. Sweden does can when it tries though.
QuoteA broken castaway from where the shadows lie
Soon comes the shadow there where the sanes abide
Soon comes the castaway, he's so full of dancing
A move to move the trance in
Riding on my own I speed, riding on a road of fire
Staring at the autumn leaves, left is for the neon isles
Waiting on the road a torment, waiting on the road the doormen
Riding on my own I speed, right is for the shadowshires
Some tragic magic spoken from the neon place
So many years away and still that moment stays
So many years to go and he's full of laghter
A move to move there after
Riding on my own I speed, riding on a road of fire
Staring at the autumn leaves, left is for the neon isles
Waiting on the road a torment, waiting on the road the doormen
Riding on my own I speed, right is for the shadowshires
See how the neon lights are faltering
The sea on the left is carved in stone
See all the million lights are flickering
The right of the road becomes my own
Riding on my own I speed, riding on a road of fire
Staring at the autumn leaves, left is for the neon isles
Waiting on the road a torment, waiting on the road the doormen
Riding on my own I speed, right is for the shadowshires
I can't say I get it.

Assuming I understand what you mean, yes, this song sounds far better on a good sound system. So does the Lake of Tears one above. I usually listen with good headphones or in the car, which has a surprisingly adequate set of speakers for what it is.
Speaking of music with little in terms of storytelling but where the vocals are still present,
Yeah, it's repetitive, and some sort of... Welsh?
Foreignese, besides. Still, the vocalist uses her voice as a musical instrument as well as a storytelling device. I can live with that when one component can compensate for the other.

Pleasing first few minutes. Go to 4 min 50sec for solo by the lovely Sierra Bogess. The orchestra is also doing well.

Georg Solti recorded the complete Wagner Ring Cycle (4 operas) in a famous 1958 recording.
It has now been remastered.
I have managed to get hold of the first remastered opera, Das Rheingold, which is one of my favourite operas. The Vorspiel (Prelude) begins with eight double-basses that start off almost inaudibly on most recordings, but I was overwhelmed to almost feel them in my stomach before hearing them on this new remaster. Listening to this on my Tannoy Amesbury studio speakers with 15 inch speakers in very big cabinets is a religious experience for me. Turn up the volume before listening to this.
Tolkien denied being influenced by Wagner's Ring Cycle, but I don't think anyone believed him.
I have also been fortunate to obtain the spectacular brand new Simon Rattle recording of the Ring. I will talk about Rattle's Ring another time.

Ha, it can turn into an interesting double bass competition. Well, listening on YouTube is like listening through a keyhole to someone playing music on an iPhone. Sitting in front of reference speakers is like being present in the concert hall with the orchestra playing very loudly. Also, the quality if the amplifier is, in my opinion, almost as important as the quality of the speakers.
I am in the mood for some classical dance performances this morning. This one is based on Palladio by Karl Jenkins.

Billy, I applaud your choice of a first ballet to see. I've seen The Firebird three times in various places and I am overwhelmed every time. Please make the effort to attend a performance. Nothing can compare with the experience of feeling the music in your gut. Speaking of Stravinsky, I've also seen The Rite of Spring a number of time as well. The weirdest was probably a performance in Amsterdam, where there was practically no set apart from creative lighting and with the dancers dressed in gym outfits. The orchestra played marvellously, though.

This has been my favourite version of Bolero since I was a teenager and my grandfather played the album on his amazing HIFI setup, which amongst other things included 7 ft square exponential base horns with a design cut off of 20 Hz, but produced measurable and "feelable" output down to 12 Hz.

Another, joyful, performance of the Stravinsky Violin Concerto. Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Andrés Orozco-Estrada are having a really fun time with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony.
The Asmo is all exotic and almost-feel-goody today... Though in a grumpy, potentially smity way, of course.

The Asmo is in a Danish mood today. :smilenod:
The lyrics are somewhat on the simple side, but this thing does have an Asmo-approved energy to it.
I'm listening to some girlie squeeze out a fart on the radio.

Here is a fun toy to play with. It is not exactly music, it is a sound experiment that you might find interesting if your ears have become old and tired like mine.

No, they aren't :(
i keep listening to these people.
I'm listening to some girlie squeak.
Soft relaxing music by a china doll.
I am listening to a soul music program. None of it so far sounds very soulful.
I... Don't have a soul.
Actually, I do not quite understand the concept of Soul as a music genre. (As in, I understand what it is, but why is that specifically Soul?) Like, if good music stirs, amplifies or focuses certain emotions, then would not all good music be "soul?" Or is it religious heritage what defines what is and is not "Soul?" As in, music that's supposed to pluck at that God-shaped whatnot some people have?
Soul music is characteristically from black sources. By black, I mean the Afro-American community.
Some of it is melodic and rhythmic. Almost all of it it heavily rhythmic but sometimes not melodic. Soul music covers a wide spectrum. I am actually hooked on religious soul renditions by a good gospel choir of black persons. In my mind, That is "gettin down", which is certainly entertaining and attention getting.
Then there is RAP. That is a genre that is predominantly black but it lacks the melodies and harmonies of actual music. It does have rhythm and rhyme and a lot of it has lyrics that are definitely fit for church.
For a different take on music, here is a kid who can play the piano with astounding skill. Who knew that a 14 year old could press keys with such precision, speed, and creativity?
Astonishing.

Music is alive and well. It's not my music but it's music.
What a lady Tina was. Lenny Bernstein, quite rightly, adored her.
i cannot get these artists out of my head
this is a live version of something i have posted previously. not som many instruments, not so plished a presentation. but its real music, the stuff thta can be made in front of you by humans in real time.
fewer instruments. no studio mixing. no overdubbing. just the minimalist artists and what they can do with their instruments.
classical and related music still maintains this grounded reality. recorded classical is good to hear. well mixed is even better. but it doesnt compare to actually watchn the musicians in front of you actually
doing the sound.
and this one too. a delicate piece that i am still listening to
when i find a piece of music i like, i listen to it over and over and over, until i can anticipate the instruments, , the sequence of movements, the different melodies, and the different themes coming and going. i dont know anything about music theory, but i can sometimes piece together a bit of what the artists are doing by stupid brute force.
the advantage of this is that i can eventually carry fairly long pieces of music in my head, that i can replay to myself when ever i want. poetry is like that-- you cant possess a piece of poetry until youve internalized it so throughly that you can recite it yourself.
i can do short pieces of poetry--lewis carroll-level stuff-- and before i die i want to actualize a lifelong dream of memorizing as much of coleridges rime of the ancient mariner as i can. if i can do some of thati will finally achieved a bit of value n my life that might last a while.
i would do eliot but he infuriates me whenever i read anything he wrote, like james joyce. but like with joyce, i keep coming back.

Poetry is best captured in snatches.
except when youre talking about the iliad. the oddesey. the aeanid. beowulf. roland. and prose shit like chaucer and on and on.
snatches are best captured by me, certainly, because im a moron. but if i could, id do the whole things.
nothing has changed since 1968.
Poetry is more than a fucking stub.
In my ongoing exploration of music I've discovered something truly remarkable I want to share with you guys. What is astonishing is that the Danish composer
Rued Langgaard composed this piece,
The Music of the Spheres, in 1916.
Related to this, Per Nørgård tells a funny story about how he tricked Gyorgÿ Ligeti into discovering this piece.
As many here may be aware, Stanley Kubrick used Ligeti's music in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
As I've said many times before: classical music is a never-ending journey of discovery for me.

Yes it has, it's more so.

Why do they even try? is my usual answer to music.
Some do it because they enjoy it. Some do it because their audience enjoys it. Some are in it for the money. Some have stories to tell. For most, I think it's a combination of those factors and more.

This Asian lady is a brilliant pianist who can also get it on soul style.
Here is another Asian lady who demonstrates the differences between classical composers. A good take for those of us who do not yet know the difference.
Thanks, Icarus. That was enjoyable. You may be aware that the opposite can also happen. Beethoven's Diabelli Variations are a good example, where he took a rather banal waltz composed by Anton Diabelli and turned it into a wonderful set of variations, which are among my favourite classical pieces. Here Rémi Geniet plays all 33 variations.
Another one I'm sure you will enjoy, Icarus.
Yuja Wang is superhuman. She is a helluva show person as well. She often combines her incredible piano ability with costumes that can only be described as..... whoooo sexy.
The sexy part may not capture your particular attention Hermes, but for over the hill horndogs like me, yummy!

:snicker1: I can still see that she is attractive, even I don't want to sample the goods.
I wonder whether she has any brothers.
Ms Wang was apparently born with extraordinary abilities. Here, she is an eight year old and then beyond. One of the things I have noticed is that sheet music is never in sight at her piano. Yet she plays in perfect unity with symphony orchestras. No doubt the conductors have something to do with that but I find it remarkable none the less.
I am hooked on almost any music that John Williams does. He has gotten more than old enough to retire and I shall miss him. Here he is while with the Boston Pops orchestra. He has an exceptional guest singer as you can see and hear
I've been meaning to replay the game this is from. A Final Fantasy-like Japanese RPG. Good times.
This composition is most often done as a classical guitar piece. (see Ana Vidovic for an elegant example with guitar) Here it is done by a pianist, with obvious passion.
Popular "music" these days almost always uses overwhelming percussion.
Way back in time I was a percussionist in a symphony orchestra. My conductor would have killed me had I overwhelmed the other instruments with my Tympani...(except for introduction for Beethoven's fifth). The prohibition is still with me. I want to strangle the damned drummers who make so much intrusive noise.
I think Triple J needs a new record. Blipping heck, it's broken.
I leave you folks with one more song. This is my cover of "She Talks to Angels", by the Black Crowes.
There have been times in my life I thought I had spoken to Angels. Had a bit too much vodka, cold as ice. It warms the blood, gives you both soul and spirit...then you can write, and tell stories over a fire, maybe fall in love while the Angels whisper in your ear.
Cold streams and lakes, Petoskey stones lining your pockets.

I have acquired Bruno Philippe's beautifully engineered recordings of all six of the Bach Cello Suites to join 16 others in my collection. Here is his performance of the Prelude from the first one (Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007). I think his recordings will join my list of favourites, alongside Yo-Yo Ma's 2018 recording and Marko Ylonen's (2016). Other favourites are by Steven Isserlis and Pieter Wispelwey.
As a comparison, here is Marko Ylönen .

QuoteTape-bow violin
The tape-bow violin is an instrument created by Laurie Anderson in 1977. It uses recorded magnetic tape in place of the traditional horsehair in the bow, and a magnetic tape head in the bridge. Anderson has updated and modified this device over the years. She can be seen using a later generation of this device in her film Home of the Brave during the Late Show segment in which she manipulates a sentence recorded by William S. Burroughs. This version of the violin used MIDI-based audio samples, triggered by contact with the bow.[/iquote]

Speaking of canvas of silence, it also has a sound, and it's best (in my opinion) in the soothing tones of David Draiman. :smilenod:
Totally agree. I love that rendition.
many years ago i began listening to liz story. her stuff includes a lot of of carefully composed pieces which i have always liked.
but she also does this stream of consciousness stuff, which i cnnot begin to understand but which i keep coming back to. more now than in the past, as i no longer look for structure in the universe.
its like hardcore jazz, which i also cannot understand but can leave alone.
her stuff is different. lots of emotion in the playing, and not a lot of tight control.
she signed with wyndham hill, which also markets pieces by the long dead michael hedges, with whom i have a strange connection. except he's dead and im not
this piece is over thirty years old. she hasnt done anythign for a while. im going to write her and ask why
Love that!
While the underlying message is a bit "Imagine-y," I very much approve of Peter Heppner's lyrical storytelling :smilenod:
EDIT: I think it may largely be because Heppner's utopia is less boring than Lennon's by a nautical lightyear.
Der Aschmo is still being all Germanic. Listening to the great Joachim Witt.
All you younger dudes and ladies post noise, professing to be music, with excessive percussion. Whatever floats your your boat and/or to each his own.

I wonder how she does it with a paralysed stomach? don't you use them muscly bits below the diaphram for singing-related activities? Perhaps not, I suppose, or her condition means something else than I think it does.
In any case, a fine performance.

Start from about 12 minutes.

I do appreciate (and semi-regularly listen to) a lot of classical music. While I often prefer a modern twist (Recommend looking up Gregorian. They do popular songs in Gregorian chant[-ish], and some of them are... Well, amazing, if you ask me. Sample below), the older, unaltered compositions have a different, albeit pleasant, kind of complexity and sophistication.
Great ending. From 20 minutes.

Listening to Ben Shapiro, of all people, rap with Tom Macdonald. :snicker1:
It's a bit of idle fun, though it has relatively low replay value for me... Which, come to think of it, is my view of Shapiro's media persona in general, not just the song.

I fully agree. The song is very catchy and danceable. It reminds me of 90's techno ("gabber music") which made a comeback in the Netherlands (probably because modern "music" is even worse). Good news is that Germany sticks to their tradition of trying to reach the lowest ESC scores.

You're right. he is brilliant. One can see the content and style of his delivery are direct descendants of Kurt Weill's. To show what I mean, look, at Lotte Lenya performing Weill's
Pirate Jenny. That the name Jenny is in both pieces is purely coincidental!
Yes, I suppose they are at that. :smilenod: Though I imagine Ren got his inspiration from multiple sources, as he starts off like a serenade, then progresses into a kind-of bardic tale, told through the music, the acting, the environment (videography), the changing points of view and the lyrics.
A versatile artist, able to utilise his versatility for compelling effect.
EDIT: Imagine Pirate Jenny with the kind of visuals Ren used - I don't mean graffiti-lined streets, but the interior and the exterior of a ship, for example - something fitting.. That would have been... Atmospherically awesome. :smilenod:

Lovely! His time with Nadia Boulanger was obviously well spent. The same can be said of a number of other star composers.
i put his stuff on while im driving and listen to the same pieces over and over until i can memorize them, trying to figure out what he's doing. i have no musical education, so things like different overlapping tempos and key changes take me a long time to understand, because i have no words for them. i just listen and try to see what he was seeing.
