Weird band, good music.
Awake ye scary Great Old Ones

Soundtrack from "Phantom of the Opera" (the movie soundtrack, not the one from broadway).
The blessed sound of: nothing.
Sometimes, early in the morning (or late, if I was up late the night before :) ) I like to have NOTHING on.
Kinda peaceful.
Same here, just the chirping of the birds and squirrels, uh I mean "tree rats" (hee hee, see, I have not forgotten). :D

Sting - Blood Red Roses
(just got a new album - "Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, and Chanteys", with great artistis like Brian Farry, Sting, Nick Cave... Worth every penny...)
At least you know that in his case he is getting more than a penny for each CD sold, or so we hope...
Listening to a whiney fan.
A very old tape of Jon Anderson - Olias of Sunhillo.
Still looking for a CD version, one day...
Tom Jones - It's Not Unusual
I don't know why, but even when I don't particularly like Tom Jones, I love this song...
Upbeat song, positive message. I'm no Tom Jones fan either, and I love it. (What's New, Pussycat, however, makes me want to claw the furniture and yowl...)
I'm listening to a tape of my highschool band, orchestra and stageband. (Clarinet on marching band music, bassoon on concert band and orchestra music, bari sax and vocals on stage band music.)
Oh! Kinky's on the radio! (local uni station)
We Reserve The Right To Refuse Service To You - Kinky Friedman
w00t! :toadfish:
The Kinkstah!!
Quite a songwriter. Some of the humorous stuff was good, but his turns of phrase on the serious stuff are astounding. (See Nashville Casualty and Life, or Leaving Rapid City)
I'm listening to the dulcet sounds of my Junior voice recital from college. My recitalmate was a tenor, and there was one number that we both did, in the same range, alternating parts, then turned around and did a tenor/soprano duet. (Not high soprano, but soprano.)
People gotta quit draggin' this stuff into my house. I get nauseated easily. :o
Richard Cheese - Rape Me
Brahms - Symphony No 1. 4th movement.
Gluck-Orfeo et Euridice

Ben Folds Five - Army
Hey, is this about Dubya?
Well I thought about the army
Dad said, son you're fucking high
And I thought, yeah theres a first for everything
So I took my old mans advice
Three sad semesters
It was only 15 grand spent in bed
snip
In this time of introspection
On the eve of my election
I say to my reflection
God please spare me more rejection
cause my peers they criticize me
And my ex-wives all despise me
Try to put it all behind me
But my redneck past is nipping at my heels
Sounds right..
Van Halen - Inside
Just bought Youth Group's 'Casino Twighlight Dogs'.

(I FINALLY got my STUPID UnCreative Audigy [up-until-now-non-]Sound Card to work with my 5.1 speaker system. To get the sub-woofer to actually "sub-woof" you have to click a very hidden, obscure button on one of the control consoles. *bleah*
I will NEVER, EVER purchase a [non]Creative sound card as long as I live-- their [opposite-of-]tech support is RUDE! Makes Microsoft's support seem like manna from heaven! *bleah**bleah* and *bleah* again)
((but, after much fiddling and tweaking and stuff, I got it working. Speakers finally sound like they SHOULD! Nice!))
Stupid Girl - Cold.
I just saw this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTkahtneG_Y&mode=related&search=) which was a film to the song Mad World, sung by Gary Jules. Best of the lot. It's a haunting video, with a melody to match.
I got interested in finding the music from an ad for a video game, and with a little research, the song is Mad World, originally put out by Tears for Fears. I watched their video (here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Ev8ayqEk0)) but it was not nearly as good.
Then I saw the remake by Gary Jules (which was featured in the film Donny Darko) here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V0Ofsc-z5k&mode=related&search=)
the video from the movie is here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MyMOi4LEr4&mode=related&search=). BTW, if you haven't seen the movie, I recommend it at least once. Among other themes, it does contain one of unconditional love ... the language is rough, though.
So far, I've listened to 9 different Mad World videos ... the song grows on you ...
Edit: make that some 20 times (lost count)...
A video with that song can't be bad.
Bob Marley and the Wailers - Rastaman Chant
The song "Mad World" is one of my favourite songs ever.
That's why, after mentioning it, I had to put it on at once, so now I'm listening to the Donnie Darko soundtrack, Gary Jules - Mad World at the moment.

:offtopic: :offtopic: :offtopic: (warning-- ;D )
In a completely different arena, I was reading about problems with PC's (you have a PC[i.e. windoze], yes? and not a Mac or Lunix-box?)
How old is your PC? That is, how long ago was it since windoze was installed "fresh"?
The main thrust of that forum was that windoze builds up "trash" over time (mostly registry corruption, but also extra, no-longer-used, but kept-track-of files). There is NO KNOWN way to clean up this junk. The registry tools help some, but never completely. The "clean up your disk" tools are much the same.
Bottom line: every 1-2 years, for OPTIMUM operational service, windoze needs to be scrubbed to the "bare metal" of your hard drive. And re-installed from scratch. Including re-installing all your favorite programs. Finally, restoring your backed-up DATA files (like pictures, documents, e-mails, etc). ((you DID make a backup, yes? ::) ))
Ever wonder why OFFICE pc's are replaced every 2 years or so? Most are leased, and in about 2 years' time, the performance is just not up to speed. This us USUALLY blamed on the hardware being obsolete - but think about it. Those PC's worked FINE when new. The hardware HAS NOT CHANGED AT ALL in 2 years. In an OFFICE environment, NEITHER HAS THE SOFTWARE "LOAD" (at least not all that much).
But, in 2 years, windoze has accumulated so much "arterial plaque" as to become loggy and slow....
As for me, since I build my PC's from scratch, there is usually a major hardware upgrade every year or so, and I use that as an excuse to re-do windoze anyway...
......................
Bottom line: if you are able, I strongly suggest you BACKUP EVERYTHING using a reliable backup software of some sort. A VERY EASY solution is to purchase a new hard disk (they are cheap, nowadays). Take your old one out, put the new one in, and install windoze to THAT. Then re-install the old drive as a SECOND drive, and copy all your important stuff to the new one. (nice thing about this method, is that you can always re-install the old drive as primary, and you're back to square 1, if need be.)
Once windoze is STABLE, you may proceed to the next logical step. Re-format the old drive as a spare-storage, and as a backup space for your IMPORTANT files. (2 drives are always better than one. :) )
It's officially the holiday season! They just played "Fairytale in New York" by the Pogues on the radio.

The show on now, The Musiquarium is killer if you like anything along the lines of funk, soul, reggae/dub and a bit of whatever. Listen (online)! Now! Do it!

Oh well--- obviously I do go there on occasion so I can't feel they are all bad. And the CD is nice. It has a very short and sweet clip of Sean singing to his dad.

My dad usd to sing that one when we worked together on projects round the house when I was little. Except he sang whisky/whiskey instead of moonshine. My mother didn't totally approve.
I used to like the "Four wheels on my wagon" song. It's probably been banned for political incorrectness now.

There used to be a program on Radio 2 every Saturday in the 60s called "Two Way Family Favourites". It was mainly service personnel requests from the Commonwealth to their young families back home, and you could pretty much count on that one being played every week. Along with "Puff the Magic Dragon" and "Little boxes".
I'm going all nostalgic now...

It's a good job he went to the Galapagos (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/04/12/wgpagos12.xml) when he did. It appears feral goats are ruining everything. Nuff said.

Now, you're blaming the goats for something done by....PIRATES!!! The goats were taken there FORCIBLY. By PIRATES!!
It's always the people, you see. the goats are only part of the problem. PEOPLE!! Feh! Talk about an error in design systems. They really need to be self-limiting. (Well, some of us are. I have been. I'm not certain about
you [I am eyeballing you speculatively...] but there are others here, as well.) :mrgreen: :ROFL: :-*

Yes, I have it. How do you like the medical love song :o?
I'm working on text mining software for the medical sector at the moment. If that sort of thing worried me or I suffered from hypochondria I'd have cracked up long before now. :)
That cd has several good contestants for the "song questions" thread though. The Not the Noel Coward song springs to mind.

Something by Kabalewsky
My problem with Dmitri Kabalevsky (American version) is that after a while, his stuff begins to sound...derivative of--his stuff. Like he copies himself so much that, well, he gets boring.
May be related to having to play the cello studies for what seemed like years while I was trying to learn to play the cello...
It just makes me want to take LONG naps.
--------------------------
Currently listening to Peter, Paul and Mary, the 10 Years After album, specifically "Too Much of Nothing".
I felt strongly reminded of Saint-Saens at times. I know only about 2 hours of Kabalevsky's music, so I can't say much about him being repetitive/autoplagiarizing.
I collect a bit of obscure Russian composers (not their decomposing bodies that is).
A blessed nothing. Other than a fan at the other end of the room. Silence is good every so often.
I hate silence. That's why I listen to music all the time. :)
It's Senor Coconut - Autobahn at the moment.
I like it, sometimes. I had spent twenty minutes listening to the shop-vac, so the quite was nice.

The Thieving Magpie, overture (on the radio)
We play tabletop with destructive force. We have to buy spare parts regularly (no joke!)
Sounds like the fosball players' toes are probably well-worn. :D
Northern Exposure 2: East Coast--Sasha and John Digweed on imeem.
Seriously the longest song techno song I've EVER heard--72 minutes. No joke. :o
The players usually break in the middle where the rods go through.
The rods are full metal and still get bend and broken over time.
A bit of Carmen on the radio.
Morcheeba - Ten Men
Oooh, I know how the players break. We've broken a few back when I was in Germany.
With the older table (junior size) they were more likely to break their heads off.
We haven't smashed a single ball yet. Worn down yes but not broken.
No music at the moment

Prokofiev - Romeo & Juliet suite
I have a good complete recording of the ballet. Love it.
I got mine in Rome in this past trip. It has both R&J and Cinderella (4 CDs). I was listening to the suite because I was trying to organize the music in my (recently upgraded to 80Gb) MP3 player. :D
In lieu of the conversation I am now listening to the full Cinderella Ballet.
Mine is conducted by Valery Gergiev (who also has some good recordings of operas by Rimsky-Korsakov under hils belt)
This one is André Previn and London SO. It cost me about 11€ (which meets my cheapness expectations ;D)
I think I got mine on a slight discount too but that blue Philips label for Russian music (ballet/opera) tends to be on the more expensive side.
They tend to be live recordings while the (older) Bolshoi recordings tend to be studio. The third good label (in my opinion) for this type of music is Capriccio (Bulgarian recordings). I am still short by two Rimskys (Pan Voyevoda and Servilia), both to my knowledge not available/edited anywhere :(.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince-Chapter 17 (I think)
Only the usual background noises
Still Prokofiev - The full ballet Romeo and Juliet
What about Melodya Records? I liked those versions but nowadays are quite hard to find.
Too few have been converted to CD and our record players are near or beyond the end of their natural life cycle.
The records themselves are still in fine condition (apart from the dust on the covers).
Sonic Youth - Blink
A lecture on certain aspects of rhodium based catalysis (that not being my line of work almost led to paralysis due to early hour and great heat).
Lean Like a Cholo http://queso.philadelphiaweekly.com/cholo.JPG (http://cholo%20http://queso.philadelphiaweekly.com/cholo.JPG)--Down
I generally dislike commercial rap, but this one makes me giggle. Cholos in general make me snicker.
Bach - Partita No 3 for Violin
----
BTW, just so you know, the term cholo is almost always used in a pejorative way, regarding amerindian ancestry or simply hispanic ancestry (depending where your are), and poor. Given that I am hispanic and mestizo (mixed spaniard with amerindian) I can only hope your use of the word isn't so.
Apologies. :-[ In this case, cholo (as is my laughter) is in reference to a silly form of gangster culture as depicted by the song and those who follow that culture.
Frankly, until I heard this song, I hadn't ever heard the word. I didn't know it had that sort of history behind it, or I'd have been more wary of using it.
Absolutely no offense meant.

The Beautiful People--Marylin Manson
Musical Sunday Riddle on the radio
Re Paul Potts, I thought it disgusting they have been discussing whether her should win - is he an amateur? yes. Is he the best? yes. it seems like it's not allowed for any actually really good singer to win. Apparently over a million have listened to the YuTube. I've just made it plus one.
Listening to The Best of Yardena Azari
Although after listening to him, I can tell -as a tenor- that he needs some musical coaching. His technique is good, but there is still something missing for him to become a serious opera star. BTW, reading on the wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Potts) he isn't as amateur as it would seem*.
In any case he is the living proof that a mid talented classical singer would mop the floor with all the clowns that show up for those shows.
*The definition of an amateur singer in this business is a hard one, given that most singers have to live of something else unless they can get enough shows a year to live from the music. There is also the question of training: does he have a coach currently? Has he had one? Has he gone to a conservatory at some point?
---
Sting - Island of Souls
He has had some formal training apparently but has never made it as a professional. I think there has to be a line between earning a living and not earning a living... without getting into the filing a means test report. If these talent shows want to get people with "taste" as viewers, they need to weed out the no talent at all lot. I don't watch them but I see this as a test for whether they might ever be watchable programs. Of course, if they are really hoping only to attract viewers who can't tell the difference, for whom other aspects are what make them watchable, then fine. But don't dress them up as talent spotting <!!>
Listening to David Dimbleby talking about posh old houses in Scotland.

Lol. My mother's about two years your junior and listens to Nine Inch Nails and other things like that, so it doesn't surprise me, really. More for humor's sake.
Ultimate showdown in my head.
Having a musician in the family introduces me to all sorts of things.
For you basic white chick, I like a lot of reggae, and it can get me some strange looks in certain parts of some towns. Then again, so does my fondness for some shred metal...
Listening to an advance copy of the last Jimmy "T-99" Nelson gigs before his daughter dragged him to Atlanta to 'work in the studio' with her and he passed on from musical inanity. (How does a good bluesman give birth to a woman that wants to be the 'Black American version of Celine Dion'?)

the big sound from the underground another pirate radio station
we bring the truth to places truth is never heard before
we bring the sound communication of our tribal war
dark vision fly by helicopters in the night
attempt triangulation of our station in the fight
straight from the bass the deep down low precision
high crime treason we broadcastin' sedission
like the wall street mornin' afternoon edition
commandeering airwaves from unknown positions
(chorus)
Live and direct we comin' never pre-recorded
with information that will never be reported
disregard the mainstream media distorted
whoop! whoop!
we comin' listener supported
Don't take no prisoners if can't afford to feed none
don't start no fights if you can't predict the outcome
don't make donations where you cannot get your dough back
fuck the apathetic bullshittas send em' all your prozac
I will not climb into your telephone tree
and "hell no you can't put me on hold!"
it's the same recorded message you'd been singin' all along
keep handin' us the bible while you walkin' off with all the gold
the bureaucratic office sends you merry-go-rounding
while the KKK police the streets by blood hounding
interest on the credit card just keeps on compounding
but the FCC can neva shut this pirate sound down

I should dust off the old Borodin CD some time too, Zono
I wish I had more, the disc also has the Polovotsian dances in it's sung version.
His symphonies fit on a single CD (Naxos). I have a complete recording of Prince Igor (Bulgarian, with Ghiaurov as Khan Konchak) and a DVD of the Mariinsky Theatre production (conducted by Gergiev). The Dances (orchestral) and the Steppe sketch from Central Asia are on another Naxos CD. It's actually difficult to get more from him.
Borodin was a wonderful composer but he also fell in the baroque trap with his opera (very long but almost nothing happening plotwise). He inherited that from Glinka obviously.
It's the same with Dvorak (but Antonin was also too good-natured to be a good dramatist).
I am a bit of a completeness freak and I still lack 2 operas by Rimsky-Kosakov (Servilia and Pan Voyevoda)
My Mussorgsky collection still lacks a version of Sorochinzy Fair (I could acquire Salammbo some time ago)
Good ol' Modest was a born dramatist!

Brahms - Symphony No 3.
Swato, I wanna be a completeness freak, but... so far I can only say that I have complete sets of symphonies (Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, Vaughan Williams, Prokofiev and Shostakovich). I have a lot of Bach's music but even while I can fill a DVD with mp3s, it is just a fraction of his work.
There were some "complete editions" in the Bach year.
I would not spent that much money on that and the choice of artists was not always the best anyway.
Going through the Naxos/Marco Polo catalogue brought me in contact with many interesting obscurities.
Did you know that traditional Chinese music was essentially saved by a Siberian Jew and that there would be no Peking Opera without him?
It's interesting that Naxos was born essentially because a sales manager and music lover got angry about the price policies of the major labels (and their endless recycling of the same works).
I saw the Bach cases while in Europe this past spring. I am very picky with versions and choose original instruments for baroque and classic periods, so I refrained.
The Naxos thing makes complete sense. BTW you can get some classical music for legal download on magnatune (I like those guys).
In general: no buying before listening in first.

My first contact with Gliere was a bit more 'hands on'. He wrote six pieces for French horn and Piano... ;)

Quite possibly (and very arguably) the best jazz album of all time, featuring more musical talent in one room than should be able to fit: Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa (still the best drummer who has ever lived), Lionel Hampton, Harry James... that bunch alone are enough reason to build a time machine to go back to January 16, 1938.
Every kid who wants to drum today should sit down and listen to Sing Sing Sing just to hear what their instrument (and hopefully they themselves) is capable of.

Haendel - Messiah
I miss performing that every year. I had a 29 year record of never missing a performance (even the year that it was 3 weeks after my surgery) and then we moved to Somerville... There are times I miss Houston.
The leftovers chorus from the Florida Phil is doing it this year (as they use to when the orchestra existed), I just rather get paid doing opera than do it for free (or worse). :-\
At various times I've done it for free, for pay and as a guest soloist.
I loved doing the soloist gigs, especially the Easter ones, because I used to totally kick butt on the middle section of "He Was Despised". (3,000 seat auditorium, 38 piece orchestra, and I had to do it without a mic--and did. Sound system cut out completely, and nobody knew what to do, so I just told the conductor to go on, and let them figure it out while I actually used my available volume.) I used to could sing a bit...put me in a place that seated less than 500 and there better not be a mic near me.

Mics are for pansies and broadway. (With all due respect) if you need a mic then you don't know how to sing*.
Speaking of free, I just accepted to sing Vivaldi's Gloria just for the fun of it. But it is a one time gig with just one rehearsal.
*Obviously no one reasonable would expect to sing without one in a stadium or in an open air venue, but then again vocal classical music** was NOT made for the outdoors.
** Even strings, Haendel might have been crazy asking for them for Royal Fireworks and then I wonder who besides the people on the boats actually were able to listen to them.
Ryabov, Chinese&Indian Suite
Quote Zono:
"Mics are for pansies and broadway. (With all due respect) if you need a mic then you don't know how to sing*. "
YES!! Finally, someone who understands!!
And Broadway?? How DID it exist before mics?? OH, yeah, singers had to KNOW how to sing. Actors needed to know how to project...
Years ago, I was to sing the national anthem at an Oiler's game in the stupid Astrodome. NONE of the on-field microphones were working. It was a game that was to be televised, they wouldn't be using the anthem part anyway, and we had to be on schedule. Using only the walkie-talkie the floor manager had, I got the sound guy to turn down the accompaniment tape to VERY low, and moved to the 'warm spot' on the field.
I was heard sufficiently in all parts of the arena, AND I am told the echoes in the rampways and stairwells was quite impressive.
What they didn't know is that acoustically, in several spots on the Dome floor, you can speak at normal conversational tones and be heard. the architech that did the sound and lighting work on the team that designed the Astrodome was the father of a friend...
Even today room accoustics it is more an art than a science. That's probably the reason why many architcts go for the shoebox design because that's one of the few that is completely modelled. Unlike for example this:
(http://www.ricam.oeaw.ac.at/people/page/jameslu/Interests/BerlinPhil.jpg)
http://www.ricam.oeaw.ac.at/people/page/jameslu/Interests/BerlinPhil.jpg
That was an accoustician's nightmare for some time. The things hanging from the ceiling are not fancy room decoration!
Looks like some of the stuff in Houston.
The concert hall (Jones Hall) and the outdoor amphitheatre in Hermann Park (Miller Theater) were both designed with lousy acoustics. They solved the outdoor one by taking the legs off of those cheap molded plastic chairs and mounting them on the ceiling. That it had to be done in three days after this monster was finished... http://tinyurl.com/2cckq5 That entire batwinged roof is lined with more plastic chairs than there is seating under the roof. But, it works! From the stage, one CAN be heard without a mic, IF one knows how to project.
Jones Hall was built with tons of teak paneling over concrete. HARD, and horrible acoustically. They put in a 'honeycomb' movable ceiling, where it can actually be adjusted for whatever is onstage. Cost? Over 20 times what the Miller Theater solution cost. Doesn't work as well, though...
The two venues opened within weeks of one another. Miller was usable in 3 days, Jones was hardly used for almost a year. Enormous amount of DOH factor involved. :doh!:
Chirst, that's a lotta money and BS.

Perhaps someone here could help me , most of my friends know the melody and some of the lyrics but are as lost as I am.
The lyrics are unfortunately vague after all this time so please bear with me.

"And there won't be rainbows oh no
And there won't be starlight?/sunshine? oh no"

The last verse of Take me home for example deviates strongly in syllable numbers, so I suppose that for that there is also a melody deviation but I do not have the sheet music or an aufio file (and the Japanese version in Whisper of the Heart is not very helpful because it takes some liberties too).

Although not familiar with the Romantic composer Wanger
(I only spell-check when it's funny) I can make a sampler recommendation to you. I have a small library of classical cds, but found a 2-disk compilation called "Classical Thunder" produced by, ummm,Time-Life, at my local big-box store. Nonetheless, there are 32 selections suitable for navigating morning traffic (
Ride of the Valkyries; Wm Tell Overture; 1812 Overture; Dies Irae; Les Toréadors; Beethoven's Sym. #5 in C Minor, Op 67, and Sym. #7 in A, Op 92; O Fortuna; etc.) All the good schtuff.

Yael Naim - New Soul (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gtbzS0PcEg)
[youtube=425,350]2gtbzS0PcEg[/youtube]
Lyrics:
I'm a new soul I came to this strange world hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take.
But since I came here
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
I'm a young soul in this very strange world hoping I could learn a bit about what is true and fake.
But why all this hate?
Try to communicate.
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
This is a happy end cause' you don't understand everything you have done why's everything so wrong
This is a happy end come and give me your hand I'll take your far away.
[Refrain]:
I'm a new soul I came to this strange world hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take
But since I came here felt the joy and the fear finding myself making every possible mistake
The new soul in this very strange world
Possible mistakes (2x)
Every possible mistakes (5x)
From mistakes (5x et plus.)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

Who? Why?
(I'm confuzzeled.... )
(It looked like she was taking an apartment. First, she puts up wall-to-wall adhesive paper. Next, she punches a honkin bunch of holes to hang pictures. Then, she makes an actual hole in the wall. Finally, she pushes out the walls (littering in the process!) and has a buncha yahoos over for a big, loud party. She is *SO* not going to get her deposit back. ;)
Nice song, btw. Thanks for posting it. :)

LOL! I am SOOOO dense, sometimes....!! ::)
I didn't really pay all that attention to the visual part-- I was concentrating on the lyrics, which are beautiful, I think.
When I was googling for more info, I came across one commentary, who said that the artist at first thought she was a reincarnation of an old soul. As she grew up, she realized that she couldn't be, as she was making so many mistakes, and thus the lyrics.
I tried to re-find that comment, but could not, alas, so my memory's all I have on it.
I plan to sample all the songs on the album, at Amazon, later.
Okay, that was quick-- amazon's samples are short.
Roughly 2/3 of the songs are in either French or Hebrew (hard to tell from so short a clip), the rest in English. The other songs are in a similar style to the one I posted, but not as light (mostly).
Strongly reminds me of Feist. Obviously, someone at Apple has a taste for music that runs to these talented women singers.... :)
It just may keep me watching for new Apple commercials, even though I don't ever plan on owning one myself. ::)

Btw, I find some not completely authentic renderings(?)** of the Carmina Burana more appealing then the 110%ers that dominate that specific field.

I might also simply have confused them with Death can Dance. There are several medieval crossover groups out there and it has been years since I tested that CD in the shop. They would be on the same shelf in any case.

IMO some of the old stuff is nice, it was fresh at the time (IE: the soundtrack of Blade Runner) but it would seem he lost his creativity. At some point I stopped listening to new era because it depressed me (in the literal sense, particularly George Winston). After that, my taste was 'corrupted' by the teachings of formal academia and now I listen mostly to classical music or what to me is rich rock/pop (good examples are Led Zeppelin, Toto, and Sting) or more 'alternative' stuff provided is creative.

I find I like Bela Bartok the best, out of the classical composers I know (which, admittedly, is a small number).
Many doubt that Bartok still qualifies as "classical" ;)
In the broad sense it is although the most conservatives will consider that the last classical composer was Rachmaninoff and all those annoying-noise-makers like Stravinsky and after don't deserve the title.
In the strict sense Bartok is a 2nd wave/XX century nationalistic composer, along with Kodaly and Janacek.

Never heard of Yanni though. A Hindu anatomical term would have been my first guess.

Nothing against Stravinsky or Prokoviev in moderate doses but
NO Alban Berg please!
Actually I like Alban Berg. In fact I used to loathe Anton Webern but I learned to listen to them (dodecaphonists) in school.

Speaking of Bartok: Bluebeard's castle

I have heard parts of Bluebeard's Castle. Not my personal taste. That does not mean that Bartok was not an able composer or that I dislike "modern" music in general.
I got a real overdose of Büchner and Berg at school. The combination (Wozzek) is deadly.

Not fan of Bluebeard's Castle either. His other stuff is better, IMO. But then, I'm fascinated with gypsy music in general (including gypsy punk).
And he ought to count as classical in a broad sense. I realize he was rather late in the game, but he wasn't writing that era's pop.

It goes both ways, some contend that Phillip Glass* is a 'Classical composer', IMO calling him that is the equivalent of claiming that a Ford Escort is a luxury car, that grape juice is wine and that prepackaged and sliced 'cheese' is aged cheese.
*Some of his stuff is passable IMO but more in the realm of pop or new era.
Over here there is a distinction between U and E music (U=Unterhaltung=entertainment; E=ernst=serious). As Loriot remarked, Mozart would not understand that since he clearly composed music for the purpose of entertainment but is now clearly defined as an E, not a U composer :mrgreen: ??? ;D

I remember when I watched Arthur and Dragon Tales (tails?) in the mornings when my son was younger, now he may spend sometime watching Discover/National geographic/History some watching spongebob and perhaps one or two shows in cartoon network. He would love to watch Robot Chicken but his mother would kill me. :help:
Robot Chicken is teh bomb.....especially the Star Wars parodies.....
My god, are they ever!
Main Naiyon Bolna--Bally Sagoo from Bollywood Flashback, Pt. II
I saw the "Dicks with time machines" episode. First he went back to 78 and told J.K. Rowling to make the wrong book. Then something else dickish.... then he showed video of hitler taking a shit during hitler making an early speech, ruining his career.
it then read, HEROES with time machines!
Illy Oi - MC Chris
'tis a truly silly show.
It's one I call "an inconsistent moon".... in that you never know if there is a real gem (like Emperor Palpatine taking "the call" from Darth Vader with regards to the first Death Star..... "what's an aluminum falcon?".... ) but most times it's just sophomoric humor and bathroom jokes.
Listening to the silence of the A/C not needing to run....
My anthro teacher talking about the scientific method (basic science and college-level English are not requirenments for this course...didn't think about that when I signed up :doh!:) and now the very beginning of lecture. Suppose I ought to pay attention now...
Riverbed - Anima Theory
+1 for really obscure techno!
Yeah, I've sort of min-maxed this year, so I'm in regular (non-honors, non-Advanced Placement, non-Pre-AP) Physics and History. The physics is just kind of trivial, but the history is scary. We're watching part of Pocahontas next class. The Disney version. Hopefully he'll explain that it's really not accurate at all, but we'll see. Also the textbook mis-used the word "Ironic".
Seven Nation Army - White Stripes
I was in normal English, but I switched to AP because my old English teachers were so shocked I wasn't in it. It's interesting, because it's not honors, but it "looks good for colleges" so theres about half kids who are intelligent, and half who just feel compelled to take it. So the teacher teaches at the right level, but really baby's the class. We read a paragraph or so, she doesn't say exactly "So what did you just read?" But the question, and the answers she seems thrilled with imply as much.
Easy classes can be frightening, but It's nice to know I'll never have History homework. Also in history, if I get an A every quarter (which I will if I do all the homework), I don't have to take the final test. But I will anyway, maybe for extra credit.
Pressure Drop - The Skatalites.
Well, now that I've gone through 2 or 3 songs in one post, perhaps I shall publish it? XD We need to stop having conversations in this thread. or is it just me getting carried away?
Ralph Vaughan Williams - Hodie
Some jazz from someone in the office
Two Dehumdifiers: Stereo Dryness.
:tumbleweed:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
No, sillies, that's not a band. That's a machine. ;)
But it does sound good, doesn't it?
"Next on X-Factor/Manufactured Pop Band of the Week/Simon Cowell's Latest Moneymaker we have Stereo Dryness, doing a cover version of whatever cover version got the lucky contestant through to the next round of Mindless Pap last week..."
I am planning a career in the media...
Sounds coolio to me, except the band's name is "Two Dehumidifiers".
Stereo Dryness is their current chart-topping single, and it owes a lot to riffs sampled from A Horse With No Name.
:D

Last Night of The Proms
Yet another example of cost-cutting, the BBC recycle this EVERY year..... it only needs slight changes to the voice over ;) Scandalous.
In fact, I am going to take a leaf out of their book and recycle this post. ;D
I think they forgot to tell Falstaff it was black tie.
Is Falstaff the Welsh guy?
The Welsh Bryn I believe. Bryn the singer, not Bryn the bread, Bryn the miner, or Bryn the telesales operative. But he was singing in Italian (and his pajamas). Opera is so confusing. But at least it isn't operetta.
Why doesn't Gordo scrap the citizenship test and just force people to attend the Last Night of the Proms? It'd really get the message over so much better.
And did those teeth in ancient times...
They did. They did. They ruled those waves.

Movits! - Epistel No 1
(now on Amazon mp3s I just downloaded ^__^)
Movitz is a reoccurring character in the works of one of our national poets
Carl Michael Bellman's (1740 to 1795) songs. I had a vague idea about the two, Movits! and Movitz being connected, and they are.
Movits! Epistel No 1 is more or less a paraphrase of
Bellman's Epistle No1 put in more modern words.
Have fun! :D
I'm biased towards the post punk band
Imperiet's version of Epistle No 81 though. ;) ;D
It is too bad no Bellma translations I ever encountered actually manage to paint the whole picture so to speak or I would post some here... :-\
In some ways Bellmans work are a key to Swedish culture, he was tied to the court of King Gustaf III, but he wrote as many songs about the low life of Stockholm as of the high society, romanticising, sure, but in quite a fun way.
Every generation at least the last 100 years have had their own Bellman interpretors, even ABBA in their hay days recorded a Bellman song...

Swedish version:
Of some strange reason I can't embed the Swedish version so here's the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbp26wfjpV0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbp26wfjpV0)
"Vila vid denna källa"/"Sit down around the spring here" is one of Bellmans most beloved songs, I don't know much about the singer Martin Best, but Fred Åkerström singing the Swedish version was a famous singer-songwriter who also did a lot of very traditional Bellman interpretations, I consider him as one of the very best.
Bellman was composer as well as poet and wrote music and lyrics at the same time and IMHO the balance between the words and the music gets lost in the translation which destroys much of the rhymes and rhythm of the songs. The English version has to many words and gets the phrasing out of sync with the music as Bellman often used the melody of the words, and how they are pronounced as building stones for the melody.

One can only admire him, no matter what he is playing; if it's an A or B (or C for that matter) movie he always shines and more often than not his bad guy carries the movie.
How did so much talent end up in one body?
I am of cause listening to Sir Christopher Lee! ;D
It's relatively unknown fact that he worked as an opera singer for a few years in Scandinavia.

How's that new Gorillaz? Heard good things but haven't heard.
About time you got into the Clash. Joe Strummer pretty much said everything that needed to be said in punk (and Fat Mike filled in the rest, including a few things that didn't need to be said ;)).
Hey, I love the clash. I've only really hear Combat Rock, but that seems to be a fairly definitive album.
The CD actually just has the guitarist and bassist.... the only name I remember right now is Paul Simonon.
It's a great album. It might be their best one yet, though I probably still personally prefer the sound of their first album. It's more alt/punk/electronic and less hip-hop, which is good in my opinion. Though the hip-hop is, as always, very good.
Have you heard the live version of Straight To Hell from the documentary about Glastonbury?
Haven't heard that live version.
I'd personally disagree on Combat Rock (never caught my attention) - get your hands on their s/t (actually punk) and London Calling, those are gems.

First, I was listening to my new-fav, Sara Bareilles, Little Voices from 2007.
Then I listened to a compilation by her and Ingrid Michaelson, a song named Winter Song from 2008.
Now, I'm listening to Ingrid Michaelson's Everybody.
Of the two women, I like the complexity of Michaelson's album a tad bit better than Bareilles'.
However, I think I prefer Bareilles' voice a wee bit over Michaelson's.
What's cool about both these women, is they bootstraped themselves into actual professional music by using self-publishing.
Kudos to both.
Edit: Michaelson is definitely better at creating complex music, if a sample of one(1) each is any judge.
:)
The Difference - Matchbox Twenty.
I've got two albums by them, Mad Season and More Than You Think You Are. It's scary how good every single song is. Rob Thomas is a madman.
Listening to lots of Tom Waits lately.
and now it's Human After All of Daft Punk. Both album and song, as it's the ol' first track/title track.
Very good example of not terribly complex music still being incredibly good/high quality. At least, in terms of strictly notes. The percussion gets more involved, I think.

I became aware of them only recently (I think 2 years ago), so any real world encounter would require a time machine.
I have the CDs (and DVDs) more or less complete (I see no reason for Best Ofs, if I have each track already on another CD).
I hope some of the older stuff will be republished on CD. I have a few of those from Youtube. Mandolinda6 uploads a lot.

No! What genre is that?
Country, but a fair bit on the twisted side. Other than Johnny Cash or Corb Lund, that's the only kind I like.
Ah! He sounds a bit Rockabilly to me. I like him. I made a rockabilly station off Deke and Kim Lenz popped up playing Devil On My Shoulder. Pandora is so freakin' cool!
Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, rockabilly probably hits it better. Still counts as "country" to me. ;)
Sure. He's like the prequil to rockabilly. Retro-rockabilly or something.
Listen to "Take Me To The Bank" by The Bottle Rockets. Pretty funny...

Oh, while you're at it, try "Piss Up a Rope" by Ween (from their country album), it'd be up your alley at the moment. ;)
Nickelback, Silver Side Up. "Hollywood."
I have some random albums lying around. I don't see why people hate on Nickelback so much. I don't mind this album. That probably mostly has to do with the fact that I listened to it before I was 9, though.
That's the first album that started to sound the same as everything they've put out since. Wasn't horrible at the time, but was the beginning of the end. Go back one album to "The State", which they put out before they sold out - I still like that one (try to find the original music video for "Leader of Men"). I'm living in the heart of Nickleback country and it's horribly played to death here, to the point that several radio stations have "No Nickleback Guarantees". Chad Kroeger is a dick, and has gotten worse with success.
Q! Must listen to Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker (USS) and tell me what you think! Canadian indie group that I'm currently shamelessly promoting to anyone that'll listen!
NickelBack is great. They do sound the same all the time though.

Earth died screaming - Tom Waits
I always loved the song since 12 Monkeys but never set my attention on him. I guess I should.
I think you'd be able to appreciate (& perhaps cringe at) the things that man does with his voice, Zono.
I've been listening to Swordfishtrombones a bit on Darlica's recommendation, it's definitely a good transition between his older and newer stuff. I'm a big fan of the live album "Big Time" and of two 90's releases, "Bone Machine" (from which "Earth Died Screaming" is taken) and "Mule Variations".
hmm... 12 Monkeys and Fight Club both star Brad Pitt as a nutcase (his best roles) and include songs from Bone Machine; the latter ends with the Pixies song "Where is My Mind?", which is from the album Surfer Rosa, which includes the track "Bone Machine"; the former is directed by Terry Gilliam as is the Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, which prominently features Tom Waits as a personification of the Devil.
Several versions of the Russian folk song Chorny Voron (Black Raven).
Not two of them use the same text and all seem to subtly vary the tune.

Quite some time that I listened to that last. And I guess it was the full opera not just the suite.

For the former I do not even have a suite (don't know, if he ever arranged one).

He is playing a (generally boring) study and some Mozart for his All State audition, so no Bruch nor Bach for today.
alternating between Maddy Prior and Oriental (Turkish to be precise) fairy tales.
Ooh, me loiks Maddy Prior.
That pipe organ CD turned out to be calliope music, and almost hilariously ham-handed. Some of it might work for comedy. It even had "In a Persian Market", which is running through my head right now.
Some Nirvana although I should be getting used to listening something a bit heavier as I'm going with my son to a Megadeth/Slayer/Anthrax concert. :help:
Not quite metal, but I'd recommend the Choking Victim album "No Gods, No Managers" to warm you up with a bit of screaming. Provided you fancy a bit of (self-described) satano-political ska-punk. ;)
That's easy listening! (and cool BTW). ;) 8)

I've been listening to a group called "The XX" quite a lot lately. My latest trainee introduced me to them, and I must say that I really do like their sort of moody melancholy. Very good for freight train driving through the night, at least. I wonder how they music sound if I listen to it at home, instead of in the cab of a loco, which has it's own peculiar soundscape?
Oh, and a Factory Records oldie: The Wake. Sounds alot like very early New Order, around the time of Movement / Everything's Gone Green. Not surprising, really, but still nice.

Beethoven's Missa Solemnis
When I was just a wee lad and my Latin not yet very good I thought that meant that this was a soporific mess.
No, not because it was boring but because I took Solemnis as derived from somnus (sleep) or somnium (dream) and thus meaning sleep inducing.
I imagine some people see it as such given that it isn't performed as much.

Add to that the quasi idyllic invocation of the moon and you forget that the goal is the execution it self. There is a schizophrenic sense between pity and lust for blood that makes you wonder what was on Puccini's mind at the time.
The whole opera also sounds much more modern than one would expect. Italian China is supposed to sound talmi! ;)

The tenor aria from the Bach cantata No 134 (I'm supposed to sing it this Sunday with English text which I've been adjusting given that the part available online only had the German version [as it should be] but the church wants me to sing in English).
Do you have to provide your own translation?
BWV 134
Rise, ye of faith, sing ye the songs of rejoicing
Upon you now glorious a new light doth shine
The living redeemer bestows times of blessing;
Rise, spirits, ye must now a sacrifice offer
And pay to the Highest your duty with thanks.
Or is it CKN 134 (BWV 116)?
Beloved Jesus, thou alone
Shalt be the treasure of my soul.
We will before all other riches
Within our faithful heart enthrone thee,
Yea, when the thread of life shall break,
Our spirit shall, in God content,
Again with lips most gladsly sing:
Beloved Jesus, thou alone
Shalt be the treasure of my soul.

The living redeemer bestows times of blessing;
Rise, spirits, ye must now a sacrifice offer
And pay to the Highest your duty with thanks.
That's the one, and the thing isn't the translation itself (I found 3 plus one in Spanish) but that the text fits the music. I finished last night during the general rehearsal (in the breaks of course):
Rise up oh ye faithful ones
up faithful ones sing delightful airs
upon you shine a glorious light
the living redeemer brings times of salvation
spirits rise up, ye must an offer make
and pay to the Highest your duty with thanks.
It's similar but I had to fit the agogic with the accents of the words, plus try to be faithful to the original German when possible (ie: highest goes in the same place as höchsten because the musical intent is clear).
There are worse things than Bach in English (or Händel in German ;)), e.g. Mussorgsky in Italian* or Italian Belcanto in Russian**.

I often felt the urge to shout: You have told that same story now for the umpteenth time and the part about the infidels and the companions and the lies is not new either for it comes up at least twice in each and every chapter. Do you think your audience has Alzheimer or do you suffer from it yourself? Cut and paste ad nauseam does not great literature make!
Don't you know that repetition makes things true? (ask Karl Rove)
I guess that is the theory. But according to tradition the revelation took 22 years. Maybe one does not notice the repetitiveness so much, if one takes as much time to read the whole book .

I'm reading it at the moment, but haven't got quite far enough to grasp the full scope of the repetition (although enough to see where you're coming from). I suppose it's written for men and women, so repetition might be necessary - the translation I'm reading says that when making business deals (loans, I think), one can have either two men as witnesses, or one man and two women, in case one of the women forgets the details. ::)
I get the impression it's a rather
historical document, meant to deal with some very specific historical events, moreso than the Gospels are. Even the OT seems more of a record of oral traditions / historical events (you decide ;)) than being reactionary to the goings-on of the day.
In places it is so 'problem of the day'-ish that annotations speculate what some incomprehensible verses mean or simply state that the context is unkown (sometimes even to Arabian commenters that lived not too long after the events). But there are similar things in Shakespeare's works.
Will people in 500 years understand Dubya jokes?

On the other hand, it's difficult to take seriously how some Christians try to find eternal meaning in every verse of the Bible, even if it is Saint Paul asking that someone forward him his coat he forgot during his last visit.
He is obviously asking for the coat in a metaphorical way. :-X ::) :P
Premonitions of St.Martin, I presume.
Btw (wrong thread), did you know that the word chapel (German: Kapelle, latin: capella) is derived from latin capa (=coat, cape) and was originally the small church were the divided cape of St.Martin was worshipped?

Is this a jest or is it really in one of the letters? I want to have a look, if so.
No joke, it's in one of the letters but I don't remember in which one.
There are personal things in several letters (often requests to greet something from him).
A few remarks don't rhyme with official theology and/or are rather ambiguous.
E.g. he greets a female leader of a congregation and calls her great among the apostles (Hieronymous subtly changed the name, so it became male in the Vulgata)
Or he complains that some take offence if he travels with his wife as all the other apostles, esp. Petrus (first pope!) do (Hieronymous changed 'wife' to 'woman' in the second and 'female servant' in the third Vulgata edition)
And then there is that verse that, if taken literally, says that he sired a son while in prison.

Another thing I wasn't too impressed by with the soundtrack to The Social Network was that parts of the songs seemed directly sampled from this album, or The Slip. Granted, Reznor does a lot of internal referencing like that, but it seemed odd when put into a movie. I guess I feel like a movie soundtrack should be more original than that (or on the opposite spectrum, use entirely pre-existing music). It helps that you only hear the Reznor music all of 3 or 4 times throughout the movie. I'd probably be more forgiving were it constant.

How is the noise level in the cockpit(?) of the locomotive?
I only just noticed this question. Sorry!
Cab noise levels can vary a lot, depending on a lot of factors. Our most common locomotives, the Rc family of electric locos with various sub-classes is rather quiet in the cab, surprisingly so when you consider that a lot of the locos are thirtysomething years old, some even over forty years old. The sound insulation is quite good, as well as the draught insulation and anti-vibration measures -when everything works and is properly maintained. A engine room door that won't latch properly can let in a lot of noise, especially if you are sitting in the "B" end with the main compressor behind your back. If the wheel tyres have been damaged or worn, with flat spots or a tread surface that is worn down and out of true, the result can be a very annoying low-frequency rumble and vibration that can really get on your nerves. The fixed wing mirrors also produce a fair bit of wind noise at speeds over about 110-120 km/h. If everything works OK, you have no problem maintaining a conversation at normal voice levels across the cab -or for that matter listen to the in-cab stereo. If you get a bad example, the maintenace planner can't hear you when you call in the loco to report tha fault and get a wheel exam scheduled.
Our T44 diesel locos are naturally quite a bit noisier, but still not as bad as one could expect, especially from a construction that dates back to the sixties. The old two-stroke EMD engine produces a rather nice bass thrumming, rather than a violent noise, anyhow. The cabs are soundproofed, and isolated from the loco frame by rubber bushings, but when you are shunting, you often drive with the cab window open to maintina better contact withthe shunters working on the ground. Years of hard pulling has also meant that the frames of the locos have distorted under the heavy loads, so a lot of doors and door frames are not of harmonious alignement anymore. It's especially annoying when snow pours through the door sill and rubber gasket. Anyhow, when doing shunting duties, we often use radios with combined headsets/ear defenders, and a lot of us also wear them while driving diesels on the mainline.
When working outside, on the ground, we normally use active ear defenders all the time, since the noise levels (flange squeal, brake noise, connection and splitting of air hoses etc) can be very high.

I see (and hear) the difference in braking style each work day. I usually know when or if to put my fingers into my ears with my commuter train incoming. I also notice that the (electric) locomotives are very loud at close range (quite low frequency actually) and from the side but that they become close to inaudible when they are more than say 10 meters away and one faces the front or back end. It looks to me that the locomotive itself brakes quietly while the rest of the train is responsible for the shriek.

The Hungarian dances (or the academic festival overture ) are OK works but certainly not to listen too frequently. I haven't heard the lieder* so I can't say much on that regard.

Meddle. That is an amazing album, Qwerty. I'd forgotten you'd started getting into some Floyd.
Now for what i've been listening to today. I occasionally bombard other places with my love of Viking Metal, as is expected, so thought it was about high time I did so here. One of my favourite bands is Tyr, a Faroese Viking Metal band. I've been listening to their albums Ragnarok, The Lay of Thrym, and Land today. I give you one of the best songs on Ragnarok, Torsteins Kvæði:-
[youtube=425,350]8EPsPMdlAqQ[/youtube]
The music I have from that area is all of the oldfashioned kind :mrgreen:
They keep up the old musical traditions, although the church has tried to stamp them out for a 1000 years. No hyperbole, at the worst times getting caught singing the old way posed a risk to life and limb esp. since many people skipped church and went to musical performances instead. The only things worse was to get caught with a rune drum (mainland only). People got burned for less.
I love folk music, but until I found Tyr, the nearest I ever came to it was the stuff Simon and Garfunkel ripped from their visit to Europe. Since then, i've listened to an awful lot of it, but the folk from the Celtic and old Viking nations resonates with me the most. I think it must be in the blood, but there is nothing like it for me, especially the folk songs Tyr play.
On the church theme, there's a song Tyr play called Eric the Red, and i'm sure you will know who he is. They introduced that one live by denouncing the new gods ;D Another song, but this from their last album.

Samples from the Game of Thrones soundtrack (I have yet to decide whether to buy the CD)
I actually got all symphonies plus some other orchestral works quite cheap (~$8) from Amazon mp3. Sadly those sales are localized so despite being digital downloads it may be hard to get the same price in amazon.de. I also got all Glazunov symphonies for even less (~$6) so not surprisingly I'm listening to:
Glazunov - Symphony No 2
I paid a bit more. I use the Glazunov Collection from Naxos (by now about 20 CDs at increasing intervals). I have a lot of Sibelius from the same label. Naxos worldwide standard price is the equivalent of about $10 / 10 DM / 5 € per disc.

the news on the radio
Enya, because F yeah.
I hope she'll come up with a new CD in the not too far future.
And the next thing my iTunes plays is Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug (Meat Beat Manifesto)
Go figure.
Well, I may also listen to music (in Icelandic) aimed at pre-school kids one minute, then go for century old orthodox chant and then jump to war songs from the Great Peasant and the 30 Years War (although many were written in the late 19th/early 20th century).
Conclusion: I must be a potential serial killer (infantile with violent tendencies, no other choice), possibly with religious undertones.
If I listen to a technical/progressive Death metal band and then I listen to Gyorgy Ligeti's Requiem or one of Gesualdo's madrigal next, what does that say about me?
You won't believe how modern (i.e. atonal) some genuine old music can sound.
Circa anno 1000, Leonin but more importantly, Perotin can be quite dissonant.
And Gesualdo was considered unpleasant only a century ago.
Beethoven's 3rd symphony got attacked for beginning with a dissonance. In the Middle Ages the third was considered dissonant, now it is the most important interval after the fifth in tonal music.
Dare you judge me for the first one. I stumbled upon this on tumblr, and decided to give it a go. Pleasantly surprised is definitely the word here. Please ignore the inherent sappiness and insipidness of the show.

Do you ever get days when you feel so very nostalgic for your youth, or maybe something else in you past? Someone posted the below on a thread on Facebook, and I was instantly transported back in time to the two years in which I did my A-Levels, which was incidentally when I got heavily into rock. I adore this song. Listened to the album twice today.

Musical Sunday Riddle on the radio
MINI-QUIZ QUESTION
We polished the brass on the front door this morning. What pirate-related song was I appropriately singing?
Behind the holystone?
No, that's Royal Navy.
------
The Game of Thrones season 1 soundtrack
EDIT:
OMFSM, what an embarassing mistake! I thought my song was from The Pirates Of Penzance, but in fact it's from HMS Pinafore and therefore non-piratey. I have misled my Siblings - well, Swato anyway - and must apologise.
The song was :
When I was a lad I served a term
As office boy to an attorney's firm.
I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor
And I polished up the handle of the big front door.
He polished up the handle of the big front door.
I polished up that handle so carefully
That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navy.
He polished up that handle so carefully

They are fun -Stenka na stenku always brings a smile to my face when I watch the video. :)
In the same way, there is a finnish group called Korpiklaani, who does a sort of similar sweat, sisu and endless bog-laced metal with a few ironical Akseli Gallen-Kalla glimpses. Try them if you haven't heard them, they have quite a few videos up on YouTube. Harmonicas, violin and flute = Teh Metalzz! ;D

Seems like something I'd enjoy. ;D
Available on DVD and BR.
But the humour is clearly NSFW
Edit: The first 20 minutes of the Danish original can be found on youtube (2*10 minutes)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8qynKNpsQM
And the full Russian dub can be found several times.
OK, I recognise the russian metal queen and the former smutty movie actress, but who is the one in the middle?
Oh, and lately I have been listening to Metz, a trio of very noisy compatriots to Aggie.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krGDNbT4CSE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krGDNbT4CSE)
I found that one by mere chance. The girl's name is also Masha and it appeared on the google result list when I was looking for a specific picture of the Arkona lady. I was not fully sure how the character I designed would look if real. But that girl simply fitted my idea. She could also pass as an actual daughter of Mrs. Archipowa.
But both have a different hair colour in the saga ;)
What I was looking for in general was a sense of ambiguity. All three characters have it but in a different way. Difficult to explain in a few words without the context. You'll have to wait until the whole saga is finished ;)

:D
Just don't say afterwards you haven't been warned ;)
The movie isn't in Netflix' database :( looks like a PG13/R version of How to train your dragon...
In the US it would probably be lucky to get an R given the amount of 'language' alone.

a bit or two of Ragnheiður Gröndal during the day

I like the album best played alphabetically, with The Suburbs (Continued) first, and The Suburbs last.
Previous / next is Bjork's Homogenic. I used to listen to this when I was 17. Explains some of my musical tastes now. :D
As is my usual way, I use the backdoor. Most people think only Björk when asked about Icelandic music. I (at least consciously) listened to that girl for the first time just a few days ago to compare her version of the Xmas cat song with the one of Ragnheiður Gröndal (which imo is the better one). And that's me who occasionally orders stuff directly from Iceland because I cannot get it otherwise.

Someday ima gonna go plumb nuts and actually *buy* that cd -- preferably finding it in the "3 for $12" bins at the local eccentric new/used music shop!

[youtube=425,350]KXCA5z6kQZM[/youtube]
[youtube=425,350]t0v7nv2s3tQ[/youtube]
Quite interesting. I'll take a look.
Any group willing to call themselves "Mediæval Bæbes" clearly doesn't take themselves too seriously, and is worth a serious look. :)
I like the 2nd piece better, as I could hear the voices quite well. The first one, not so much (a common problem with live performances-- the bass was covering the voices in that one, unfortunately, and the person running the camera was too... much in the picture, trying to be too cute with the cutaways. Video editing should be utterly transparent, and never intrude to the point that you keep going, "what?" because of the odd editing choices.) ::) :) (yes, I used to direct wedding videos, so it's not like I haven't sat in the hot seat myself...)
I'll look them up, and avoid any live albums. :D
Edit: A check over at Amazon MP3... there is quite a selection from which to choose. Quite lovely.
I would be so pleased if more siblings became fans.
When I first started ordering their albums back in Wiscaaaaahnsin, they just weren't arriving. It became frustrating. Then my clerk at the local music shop discovered that *another* clerk kept moving them to the headbanging/metal section (based on the edgy coverart) rather than leaving them on the special order shelf on the classical+ side. :) I've never been disappointed with a Baebes disk, then or since.
Today I'm listening to some older TruthSurge YouTube videos.
Aren't the Medieval Baebes a sort of spin-off from Miranda Sex Garden? I do like the Baebes, but I actually think I prefer Miranda Sex Garden -at least their album Fairytales of Slavery.
Speaking of pseudo.medieval, there is always the german group Corvus Corax.
They actually started out as a (relatively) serious recreationist group in DDR, but have now developed into something a bit more Conan the Barbarian/D&D than historical accuracy. Still lots of fun to listen to!

She has a very interesting voice, Aggie. I'll be listening to more of her work.
Thank you for pointing me towards Corvus Corax, Lindorm. So many uploads to peruse there!
I can't even see your vid, pieces.
The song is Vaporous by Elsiane. The duo is from Montreal, with the lead singer originally from Peru. I've been getting back into trip-hop and the like lately and have dug up a few interesting new artists.
Darn this country-specific utubery. I really can't fathom why it's such an issue for people in other parts of the world to see a video that's fine for locals to see.
I had heard the Saltarello by Piffaro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX7kQ9s6MZo)... but if Corvus is able to bring new audiences to the old music more power to them I guess... :-\

I just got, ripped and listened to two lovely CD's by the UK singer, Zoë.
The two albums are, Scarlet Red and Blue (1992) and Hammer (1996). I was delighted at both groupings. She made #4 in the UK, but not quite all the way, back then. As far as I can find, she's joined a folk group called Mama. I plan to get their album next, it's from 2008.

Interesting. Sounds a good deal lower-pitched than I remember it. Is it because the bassoons are relatively overrepresented?
The cello and double bass were added later, I imagine that the bass line (which frequently doubles the bassoons) was getting lost in where ever they were playing it for the first time.

Listening to Beethoven symphonies by Gardener one after the other. I particularly like how he takes the 5th 1st movement a tempo instead of the uber-romantic, super-slow as someone like Karajan :barf:
I grew up with the Karajan Beethoven, so that's the version I am used to.
Usually I am all for speed in music but it also depends on the opus in question.

Monteverdi's Orfeo
Quote from: Sibling Zono (anon1mat0) on June 04, 2013, 07:50:23 PM
Monteverdi's Orfeo
I love the overture.
And looking at the score of Orfeo's lament it looks so damn modern.
But that's true of a lot of Renaissance music actually.
Many madrigals sound modern (Monteverdi's but specially Gesualdo's).
And some old Russian orthodox chant sounds almost atonal and one almsot siuspects some electronic 'fiddling'. (no violin connection)

It is profoundly depressing.
You know, when I lived in Denver I noted what the fringey up-and-coming Repubs were doing in fringey places without objections. I told my family this was what they were trying to achieve (plus dissolution of public schools through undermining one discipline after the next) and they said I was nuts. None like that could ever happen in the USofA. It would make me much happier to be wrong, wrong, wrong about what the drivers of this movement want to impose on everyone else (first in their states, then across the US, then on the rest of the world, by god).

АукцЫон currently New Year Song
Us! Had two performances with the choir today (the first one, we were indoors with good acoustics; the two on Friday and the last one tonight were outdoors for Christmas light-ups and wow... the sound just disappears. It's a non-auditioning choir so we weren't perfect, but overall it all sounded pretty good.
I intend to practice a lot harder in the New Year, and start learning to play out my parts on the bass so that I can get my notes better. I'm new to singing harmony, so it's been a bit of a learning experience, but lots of fun. The choir got a chance to socialize and have a few drinks after our first performance tonight, which was nice.

I have this sign on the front door of our house:

It's completely tongue in cheek, because the residents lean towards the hippie-ish side and use the back door exclusively. All of our friends know to use the back door anyways; only sales jerks and delivery people use the front door. The sign actually means "SQUARES USE FRONT DOOR - NO EXCEPTIONS".

I'm listening to a Kiss collection. I must confess that with the exception of the greatest hits I haven't heard much. I guess it's OK but not out of this world, compared to ACDC or Queen*.

Being a musical whore isn't fun, you know.
:(
To be a musician is to be a whore, I deeply dislike organized religion yet the most I sing is religious music. When I was playing the French horn I frequently had to play military marches, the good ones can be counted with the fingers on one hand and you have fingers left. Like a whore, the job is to give others pleasure and occasionally you get to enjoy yourself as well. ;)

Are you doing actual songs, Swato?
If you mean compose, then no.
Just retexting (or augmenting) existing ones.
Even if I come up with a tune, I am terrible at putting it to paper (that includes the rhythm, melody can be done with a huge effort and some kind of musical instrument or the computer).
I suppose I meant the sound part; i.e. are you recording the tunes and lyrics to an audio file?
I avoid to sing where others could hear me :mrgreen:
