This is a favourite:

Hey, he can even give some old standards a new colour:

Ahh, Talking Heads and David Byrne make me happy. Thanks, Slite.

currently listening to Djamorkestar. i think you can only get their cd in concerts, but they do have a myspace page.

Keith Jarrett - Summertime

Madam Broshkina · 11-27-2008, 09:05 PM

I've mentioned this song before but now here's the video. If your a fan of Paul McCartney you should like this.

The Fireman - Sing the Changes

I'm listening to a car horning in the streets...
Other than that I'm enjoying utter silence for now!

ProDigit · 11-27-2008, 09:42 PM

Ow,youtubers...
My favorite song is Havona from Jacko Pastorius, however I don't find anyone that can play like Jacko did (on the bass)!
This guy basically got it right!
For those who don't know much about music, this is freakkin difficult.
Even pro's playing for years and years struggle with this style of percussive and rhythmic playing that's usually only reserved for piano players.

Fact found a song of Jacko browsing... but the recording is pretty lousy...

I've rediscovered my love of classical music after a long break to the point of forcing^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hintroducing "classical Fridays" at work. My colleagues probably hate me. Barbarians.

tell them they're all philistines. so who are introducing precisely ?

acidzebra · 11-28-2008, 01:45 PM

Started them off on light chamber music (can't go wrong with Bach, Mozart, Haydn, and so on), past the Beethovens and Faurés and Schuberts and Dvořáks, through to the Russian nationalists and modernists, and then I don't really have a plan. Frankly, I am amazed they have accepted this for the past two Fridays.

I've drawn a rough arc from baroque to classical to romantics, perhaps explore the more obscure composers of each era. But you have to stamp in the basics first

Also, I am letting the inimitable wikipedia guide me here, massive resource with composers of each era many of which are totally unknown to me
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_music
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Baroque_composers

So suggestions are warmly welcomed

Rogue Wave "Eyes"

Great band, great song.

RickyMaveety · 11-29-2008, 07:24 PM

Koyaanisqatsi .... which was a perfect backround to today's main chore, which was to drill 372 1/4 inch by 3/8 inch deep holes in 3/4 inch maple for the sides of my adjustable bookshelves. Since I don't have a drill press, I made due with a homemade jig.
