Sometimes you're not on your own system and you need a good song... or 20. Do me a favor and recommend a favorite YouTube song of yours, such as this one from U2 with Bruce Springsteen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVdZ0Rdm8zI):

I don't care what kind of music. Anything would be nice. Don't laugh, lately I've been stuck on this show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4Ck4fs7o4Y), which is a soft landing after a long day:

official version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhe3sUdOK6A); TV version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3im0299quU). Of course, you could always go French (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2_o5O5TSGs) or go home with Alizee -- hell oui!

This is gonna be fun. Let's see what everyone recommends :)
As for me, let me suggest a couple of videos. Taking a cue from the screenshots you posted, I propose these:
- In the U2-performing-live-one-of-their-hits-and-featuring-a-legend category :P, here you go: One (Live Grammy Awards 2006) - U2 feat. Mary J Blige (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu72EZdVou4)
- While in the teen-pop-star(s)-in-stockings-and-a-plaided-miniskirt category :D, let me suggest no less than the Russian duo t.A.T.u: How soon is now - t.A.T.u. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eGvmB8Phk8) (This is a cover of The Smiths, by the way)
Hope you enjoy 8)

Wow! I love it, Zen. Thanks for the great start.

If it doesn't need to be _youtube_ video and not even very recent one, you may find nice ones from here too: http://www.80smusicvids.com/ (http://www.80smusicvids.com/).

Portishead's The Rip is a very strange video, but I like the music.
EDIT: Embedded video in post.

Lemon Jelly's 64-96 album actually has a few really good ones that I like. Such as:
EDIT: Embedded videos directly in post.

along the U2 lines heres One (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4dlqVlj6UA&feature=related) as covered by Johnny Cash
a beautiful if morose song Mad World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3N1MlvVc4) but with one of the best videos I've seen in a long time
-
Grrr, what is it with youtube and "this movie is not available in your country"? The people who thought of that need to be shot, asap. (Can't watch the "Mad World" video - is it the Gary Jules cover from Donnie Darko, or the original Tears For Fears?).
Johnny Cash (http://www.johnnycash.com/)'s cover of Nine Inch Nails (http://www.nin.com/)'s hurt is pretty amazing - you can watch it at YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO9dbmJ_2zU), but please do yourself the favor and go to Mark Romanek (http://www.markromanek.com/)'s site, he's the director and the video quality there is better.

-f0dder
this is a little confusing,
but if I understand correctly it's Gary Jules with his first video of the song - it's the one filmed from the rooftop of kids making different "things" on the footpath below
The original video of Mad World. (the one by Gary Jules, of course. By original, I meant the actual Gary Jules one, not the Donnie Darko one. There. Happy? I am heavily aware of the fact that TFF did a video long before Gary. I knew before I posted the video. You'd think that one of the progenitor of the video would know these things.) Throughout the video children are making animated figures on the sidewalk below. (the song was featured in the movie Donnie Darko. If you haven't seen it, seriously consider it.)
(see attachment in previous post (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=15984.msg140386#msg140386))Wouldn't want to miss THIS ONE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjvVBCNcL_A)!

One of my favourites when sliding into the moral abyss of too much alcohol, (those interested in the America's Cup will remember it):
Men At Work - Land Down Under (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNT7uZf7lew)
And then, hard rock is always good:
Rose Tattoo - Rock'n'Roll Outlaw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRVvUKKLcoM), Branded & We Can't Be Beaten (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li-u9O68g6E)
The Angels - We Gotta Get Outta This Place (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp4j2Zv2YYc&feature=related), (I think it flows better than Eric Burden's original - rocks way better too :) ).
Tempered with something a little more popular:
Hunter & Collectors - Holy Grail (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzuG0ocPvuE)
Just to show I'm not totally pro-aussie:
Johnny Warman - Screaming Jets (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v839Yoc4rUQ) - for a bit of computer nostalgia.
Molly Hatchet - Fall Of The Peacemakers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk0hpghIwsM)
The Clash - London Calling (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiVvA9YQpiI)
Wall Of Voodoo - Far Side Of Crazy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fpwtF4mxws)
WARNING: The following is definitely NSFWWoC, (Not Suitable For Work, Wife or Children) - unless they have a really, REALLY good, (or warped), sense of humour and don't mind the odd four letter word or 50.
And for when you're flat out totally inebriated sitting around a campfire with your fellow inebriates, nothing beats firing up:
Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson - Hey Santa Claus! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEe55NxFSSU), (because it's almost Christmas) - I'll let you find his other songs on YouTube ;)
-
As for sheer video eye candy, here's some to have fun with.
OK Go - Here It Goes Again (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv5zWaTEVkI)
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv5zWaTEVkI)
For the guitar hero inside you, Queen and Pachabel would be impressed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjA5faZF1A8). (Warning: crank it!)
For the geek inside you, The Machine Us/ing Us (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g). Very nice video.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g)
So sue me. I have a thing for girls in short skirts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ25-glGRzI). (110 million views!)
Finally, one of the strangest and most moving videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3ClCwcCvdQ) I've ever seen by Unkle called, Rabbit in your Headlights. It was sad and powerful and strangely damning. And then there's the end of the video, the part no-one forgets. The whole video is utterly cryptic. It's almost impossible to say what it means, but it's equally hard to find someone who can watch it, really watch it, and remain unmoved.

This music video used to run smoothly for me but I just checked it out today and maybe one of my plugins is messing something up but in any case, if you enjoy a heart filled live performance, check out Shinedown doing a cover of 'Simple Man'.
Shinedown - Simple Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2l8O1JUrRo)
Oh ya ... If you enjoy great singers, I'm going to sound a little tootie-frootie for bringing this one up but man she got pipes and rocks this out. Celine Dion doing a cover of 'Alone' by Heart.

that was heavy going, really shocking really, glad something "good" happened in the end
I'm also glad I watched the "OK Go - Here It Goes Again" one after ;D had a good laugh (phew!)
havent listened to everything yet but working my way through them, thanks for the music :-)
edit/ forgot to say 4WD - I've actaully heard "Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson" (that track in particular) on the radio somewhere - I'm presuming there was a good few beeps involved ;)

In the meantime, here's 100 more:
(Let the Women Rock! A nice dose of attitude to brighten our day.)

-
Warman, hadnt heard him before, somehow led me on to The Models King Of Kings (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7UEm0g1rT8) (more music from oz [edit: that I hadn't heard before]), which (again somehow) led me to Lost in a Forest (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY7wuV_C1oI) by The Cure, and Love will tear us apart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yTIpcwBTTs) Joy Division (definitely a 1980-ish vibe going on for me still)

-zridling
Yeah this is a great one. I've been a fan of Radiohead (whose lead singer, Thom Yorke, lends his vocals for Rabbit in Your Headlights) and when I heard this song, I purchased album. It's Psyence Fiction (http://www.amazon.com/Psyence-Fiction-U-N-K-L-E/dp/B00000AFK4/). The entire album is great, except for two songs (Drums of Death pts. 1 & 2) that were removed from my MP3 collection because I don't particularly care for rap.
Not only is the song cryptic and strange, but the video adds an entirely new dimension to the audio.

Not sure I'd really call it a good ending, but I suppose you feel the same way and that's why you put it in quotes. ;)

God help me this isn't the music i normally listen to but something about this video is hypnotizing for some mystery reason:

I know the reason. It's because the dark haired girl has a freakishly gigantic mouth and you just can't stop yourself from getting lost gazing in disgust and wonder at her the entire video. Seriously, how do you get a mouth that big? :tellme:

So sue me. I have a thing for girls in short skirts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ25-glGRzI). (110 million views!)
-zridling
Our attorneys will be in touch with you shortly...in the meantime, let's upgrade your short skirts a bit.
Here's Billy Idol with Cradle of Love - IMHO his best out of the three good songs he wrote. It features a rather intriguing model and bit-part actress named Betsy Lynne George as Devon (how 80's), the loli-girl down-the-hall neighbor. (Really! How 80's can you get?) I'd love it if he'd re-record this without that overproduced MTV sound. It wold be better as a straight rock guitar number. Maybe he could touch bases with Suzy Quattro and do it up right? Hmm...
Things to watch for:
1) Check out the vintage Mac IIci with the greyscale full-page display
2) That funky little shuffle-strut thing Betsy Lynn does at the 2:14 mark. She's famous for that move - go figure!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24FT3u-lhg4
I understand that Ms. George no longer does film or video. She now teaches gymnastics.

really enjoyed "Molly Hatchet - Fall Of The Peacemakers" (and they do a great version of Freebird)
and I think you got me listening to most of the Clash's London Calling on youtube. Rediscovered this one too - The Clash - Magnificent Seven - Tom Synder Show 1981 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijiazWlawUY&NR=1)
[edit/ forgot to add - 40hz this has to be one of the three best from Billy Idol ;-) Eyes Without a Face (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpmWIyjilQo) ]
for a bit more variety how about a bit of country :D George Jones & Elvis Costello - Stranger In The House (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSj6SayDnR0) (also 1981)

One of my favorites, and I'm not even much of a Fiona Apple fan. I admire the sentiment behind the song.
"If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I make the most of it - I'm an extraordinary machine "

The video for the tool song is nice and mellow, the last two are... disturbing. As in gore and violence and spilled guts.

Vast - Pretty When You Cry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOZ6ptqcbUc). Somewhat disturbing, but nothing that bad :)
Bjarke - White Christmas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQdOaJ_kdbs). A spoof done by a Danish television channel, I love how they've nailed the whole self-importance/obsession of the gothic scene. And the track doesn't sound all that bad either ;)

Zelda CD-i Remix: Drop the Dodongo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yjh2BnTTBs). The vocals were taken from the terrible Legend of Zelda games on the CD-i. There's also a version of the song with the animation from the actual games here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELJoKR9zl-g).
The sad thing is that the animation for the remix is better than what you see on the real games.
Kind of NSFW because they edit the audio to change "for luck" into "for luck."
EDIT: embedded the video directly into the post.

Ignorance is Bliss (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/315325) by Jellyfish. This animation isn't the original/official music video, and I think the animator decided to make some stupid political commentary at the beginning (and throughout) about oil companies, but the song itself and the animation are quite good. YouTube version is here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBAay9nPtOU) but the NewGrounds version (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/315325) is much higher quality.

Here's two interesting vids of Steffan Schackinger that a friend pointed me to. It features a fiddler/violinist by the name of Jane Clark, who comes from Limerick Ireland.
Mssr. Schackinger doesn't give her a huge amount of room to show us what she can do (i.e. he tends to overdo the flash and hog the stage) but what you can hear is quite good. Her string tone is sweet. I would call her playing style more tasteful than virtuosic, but that's hardly a bad thing. Especially if you're getting a little overwhelmed by the likes of Anna Phoebe or Lucia Micarelli.
And it's always nice to watch a musician who is so obviously enjoying herself just playing music.
Check it out. Very talented fiddler. (And not too hard on the eyes either! ;D)

Thank you for that. If you have anything else from Argentina that you'd care to share, I would love to hear it.
I'm very sadly lacking in my knowledge of South American music. What little I know has mostly been filtered through Herbie Mann and Dizzy Gillespie.
But once you go beyond a bass player's knowledge of the various dance structures (and the three types of clave ;D) I'm totally clueless.
What's good from where you are that we should all be listening to? :)

I especially liked: Tangaria; Chat pître; and Barbara. But I was completely blown away by Indifférence!
I'm thinking of what Indifférence would sound like scored for bass, jazz drums, and two flutes. It might be fun to arrange it so that the two flutes divide the melody and "chase" each other back and forth like a couple of dueling sparrows. Ah, the possibilities... (hmm...maybe I'd better get started on that...)
Thank you ever so much. :)

Hi, I'm very glad that you liked that small sample of music from my country :)
As for more music ... Of course! Now you'll have to stop me! ;D
Bear in mind that there are a lot of different types of music being played in Argentina, though obviously most have not originated here. Probably the two best known styles which are typically Argentinian are Tango and a group of styles collectively referred to as Argentinian Folk music (among them Chacarera, Zamba, Chamamé). Other types of music, like Jazz, are played here with a slightly different flavor (more on that later ;))
Back to Tango. Oversimplifying a bit (this is a software forum after all :P), Tango has three main genres: Classic, "New Tango" and Tango fusion or electro-tango. The previous clip (Yo-yo Ma playing Piazzolla) was "New Tango". Here's a clip of a couple dancing arguably the best known melody of Classic Tango: "La Cumparsita".
Yes, they actually are dancing on a quay a few feet inches from the water :o :)

Cool, uh?
The newest trend in Tango is to mix it with very modern rhythms (mainly electronica, hence "electro-tango" or "Tango fusion"). A couple of clips of this style:
First, a group named Bajofondo, led by two-time Oscar winner Gustavo Santaolalla (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0763395/) (he won in 2006 and 2007 for the music of "Brokeback Mountain" and "Babel" respectively). Name of the song: "Montserrat", performed live in Warsaw, Poland
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3FLETalaMI)
A somewhat different type of electro-tango is played by the Gotan Project trio. Song: "Diferente"
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZk-LJ_KCMg)
I'm sure that by now anyone who has watched the tango clips is wondering what the hell that strange accordion-like musical instrument is. Short answer: it's a bandoneónw
Ok, that's a crash course in tango. Longer courses available on request :D
As for Argentinian Folk music, it's hard to choose a single clip/song (I don't want to flood the thread). But eventually I chose a typical song performed by a very talented group who are one of the "new faces" in folk music: Los Nocheros. Song: "La chacarera del rancho", performed live at the Viña del Mar festival in 2003. You'll immediately notice how different this is from tango. (Note: the added text with the "Star Wars effect" is awful, I know, but it was the only clip of this song I could find :-[)
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo_hzLImGCY)
And finally, this post wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention Gato Barbieri, the best jazz player ever to come out of the Pampasw
Here's Barbieri playing "Last tango in Paris" (from the 1972 movie of the same name):

Phew! Writing this post took longer than I thought, but thoroughly enjoyed it.
I hope you enjoyed it too, and that you could discover new musical styles that you probably never heard before.

Here I go again, with yet some more music from my corner of the world (and you thought it was over already ... :P)
But this time it's a VERY different kind of music. Forget Tango, forget Folk music. This is Juana Molina (who????? :huh:)
She's a difficult artist to classify. See what a review of one of her albums at the No Ripcord (http://www.noripcord.com/) website says about her:
Juana Molina is hard to put into English terms. Maybe if Elvis Costello's daughter had grown up in exile learning music from Fergal Sharkey and Billy Bragg, been a bit-part musician round London in her teenage years, taken to being a bit-part actress in TV comedies to finance guitar lessons, and then almost accidentally become a kind of young Latin American Tracy Ullman, only then to return to music and start recording the kind of aural balm you'd expect from Mira Calix or Múm, then you'd perhaps be getting there. As it is, and as you'll read elsewhere on this site, JM is uniquely Argentine, while producing beautiful, soothing melodies that cross borders like nomads.
You can read the rest of the review here (http://www.noripcord.com/reviews/music/juana-molina/tres-cosas)
Video clips from her are not too numerous, but I found this on YouTube:
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Juana Molina - No es tan cierto (Not so true) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz5RycWeNQI)
This is her website: www.juanamolina.com (http://www.juanamolina.com/eng_home.html) , where you can listen to (and download!) 8 tracks from three different albums
She's sometimes also compared with Bjork, though she sounds more like Portishead to me (that may be due to my total lack of musical ear, though :D). Anyway, listen to her and decide for yourself.

Heh, I was thinking into posting one of Opethw heaviest songs, but perhaps it would be too much for some members :P. So, I think I'll post Burden (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8tXjGeScH0&feature=channel), it still has a certain edge, but the song is more of a ballad than anything else. Quite beautiful, I should say, perhaps the best track of the album.
I was surprised to see Emilíana Torriniw has so many music videos, which made very difficult to choose one. Heartstopper (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB5FurjAa3E) is not my favourite song of hers, but it's a really sweet tune, and the video is just fantastic.

OK, don't complain later :P. Since I can't find a decent video (with decent sound) of the song I wanted to post, I have to opt for another one, The Grand Conjuration (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY5LRReFYus). Don't be deceived by the first part ;)

I am a HUGE Jethro Tull fan, especially of their live performances. I prefer the live stuff over the studio recordings, but both are great.
I have been a fan since probably around the age of 6. When I was 10, I tried to learn to play the flute, with ambitions to play like Ian Anderson. All I managed to accomplish was a greater appreciation of his incredible talent.
Here is a playlist I made of Jethro Tull live concert videos that takes you from the early days to more recently:
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=0151CA5D5F56ACE5 *
There is well over 100 videos in the list.
Enjoy!

Speaking of Rick-Rolling, I was recently playing the Chrono Trigger remake on Nintendo DS when I heard Robo's Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOWf_T0jdgQ) and the similarities between it and Never Gonna Give You Up are astounding... Chrono Trigger originally came out in the USA in 1995. The world was Rick-Rolled by Chrono Trigger long before it became the popular thing to do.
Though, some YouTube commenters have pointed out that they may have just time traveled (a main plot mechanism in the game) after Rick-Rolling became popular and changed the theme song in the game.
Apparently I'm not the first to notice the similarities, as someone has posted a music/video mashup of the two songs.

Here's one I came upon a day or two ago.
This isn't the actual music video to the song. Some guy on YouTube just grabbed a random music video from the 70s and cut it to make it slightly relevant to the music of Mogwai.
The result is a "What the heck?" which gradually turns into a chuckle, and perhaps even hilarity.
EDIT: Embedded video directly into the post. P.S. I really like the entire Mogwai album this song is from, The Hawk is Howlingw. But I don't have any of the Japanese bonus tracks.

How will I know when the song is halfway over if my eyes are closed?
I really enjoyed the Mogwai one Deo, great track.-tomos
I just found out about Mogwai the other night and that strange video for The Sun Smells Too Loud is the first one I came across (after hearing a small part of a different song which is what got me searching for them).
I've found I really like Mogwai's music. Or at least what I've heard of it so far.

Here's one that's a bit different...you can watch for the music or the dance.
The music is by a Catelan (I think) singer named Maria Del Mar Bonet, the dance is Jardi Tanquat (or Tancat, depending where you're from), by Nacho Duarto from Spain.
It won a major European prize. This video is the 2nd half of the piece. It is beautiful.
Watch it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULZudRWrLEE)
Btw, there's a dvd by the Nederlands Dans Company with this piece on it. If anyone should have it, I would pay a fair bit to get a copy!

Banjo Boy is his best known song, but I personally like Simplify best.
As for videos, Phil Collins Land of Confusion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq7FKO5DlV0) video was one of the most memorable to me. I remember it mostly because it REALLY freaked me out the first time I saw it. The song's not too bad either.

Ahh...the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band!
They wrote such great songs: The Rhinocratic Oaths, My Pink Half of the Drainpipe, Mr. Slater's Parrot, Intro-Outro...

(FYI: listen to In the Wardrobes of Your Mind if you're curious).

I just discovered that youtube has a bunch of very good quality live performance videos from the 60s and 70s of one of my favorite groups, The Pentangle (i actually had a chance to see them live when i lived in england briefly).

Kasír,
three young guys from Denmark that play mainly traditional Irish music,
this one: "A Trip to Devon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6hPaZ622kE)" is written by them (with a traditional Bulgarian piece at the end) - best new music I've heard in a while (new to me anyways)
that one reminds me of another traditional group, from Asturias (North Spain) Llan de Cubel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llewpVAwEhQ&feature=related) - not that piece in particular, but I like that song (La Casa Gris / The Grey House)

There are some really great music posted previously in this thread, and I thought I'd add a few more that I like.
Let's start with some bands from my country, Norway
A couple of tracks from the great Norwegian folk band Katzenjammer, adds +2 to you mood, guaranteed:
Katzenjammer - Ain't No Thang (Live...in a small boat)
Katzenjammer - A Bar In Amsterdam
...
and a couple of tracks from the fantastic (now disbanded) Gåte. Norwegian folk music meets progressive rock. This band is (was) quite possibly the best live band to ever set foot on this lovely little planet.
Gåte - Bendik og Årolilja
Gåte - Sjå Attende
El Caco is another band from .no. I don't listen to them all that much, but this video is just to much fun not to post!
El Caco - Substitute
...and now for some assorted good tracks from other places
Feeling a bit down, and need a tune to cheer you up? This one from the Canadian band Immaculate Machine works wonders for me:
Immaculate Machine - C'mon Sea Legs
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are one of my favorite bands, and if you listen to a few of their tracks I'm sure you'll understand why.
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals - Apologies (Live)
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals - Stop the Bus (Live)
....
:)
-
I find this one mesmerizing -- it's a very laid back high quality remake (by a group called Dynamite Hack) of an old lo-fi NWA rap song, Boyz In The Hood

This isn't a music video, but I find the lyrics to be so strangely funny I had to point this out to others:
I Believe I Can Fly (http://c418.bandcamp.com/track/i-believe-i-can-fly) by C418 (http://c418.bandcamp.com/) on his Bushes and Marshmallows (http://c418.bandcamp.com/album/bushes-and-marshmallows) album.
The lyrics don't start up until about 2:20 into the track. And FYI there's one instance of (censored) swearing at the end.
As for C418's music, I've listened to 3 of his albums in this order:
1. Sine (http://c418.bandcamp.com/album/sine) - Electronica/trance/ambience stuff that I didn't like at all.
2. Bushes and Marshmallows (http://c418.bandcamp.com/album/bushes-and-marshmallows) - Varied electronica stuff that was, IMO, very hit and miss. It's okay but most of it would just annoy me if it was on repeat all day. A few really good ones were 9, 10, 14, and 17.
3. Circle (http://c418.bandcamp.com/album/circle) - More electronica. I really liked every song on this one.

april: Marvelous selections.
I was especially impressed by Godspeed You Black Emperor. GYBE was a new group for me, and that's something that doesn't happen all too often.
With taste like yours, please feel free to take me off the beaten path anytime you like.
-40hz
There is now a part 2 video, created by the same fan that made the first one, so now you get to hear the 2nd half of that particular track.
GYBE was my introduction to the genre of post-rock, which has since become my favorite genre of music. If you like what you are hearing, want more, and have a facebook account, it might be worth it for you to subscribe to this fan page (http://www.facebook.com/postrock.instrumental), which will introduce you to plenty more artists you may never have heard of, all within the post-rock genre. (they also have a huge list on the left sidebar if you just want a list of artists worth exploring on your own)
Or if you have a last.fm account, you could just listen to the sound soup (http://www.last.fm/tag/sound%20soup) tag station I started, which also has quite a few free downloadable tracks available on the right side of the page. I don't plan on limiting it to post-rock though...there will be additions of symphonic metal and other stuff that I deem worthy. And there is a chance the whole thing could be spoiled by other people using the same tag for their stuff, so I plan on sticking to listening to my tag (http://www.last.fm/user/app103/library/tags?tag=sound+soup) and not the community tag I linked to (unfortunately, I don't think you can listen to my personal tag station without a paid account)

@Edvard - your post confused me quite a lot. Van Canto is of course a thousand times better than Metallica, and I *like* their album, but totally dislikes Metallica's music, (except for Mamma Said). And opposite of my opinion about Metallica, I can take Van Canto seriously; they are not a joke, but well educated singers. So, keep banging your head...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCGQiGEYl4Y
-
Curt, sorry if I confused you, I was not disparaging Van Canto.
In fact, I liked this and their other music (I had also seen the Wishmaster video, thank you) so much that I plan to purchase their albums as soon as I have the means to do so.
They are obviously VERY talented vocalists in their own right, and their music is definitely NOT something that your average rube can duplicate.
It's just that formerly being a VERY dedicated Metallica fan, seeing something so unusual done with their music induced a large bout of cognitive dissonance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance).
So at first I was amused, then alarmed, then finally to enjoy what I was experiencing.
Considering that, I just HAD to share it with all of you.
:D

Love it! (and so does my daughter)
Thanks for that. :D
I love cover tunes when the artist doesn't try to be so true to the original that it's like a cheap knock-off. I prefer when an artist brings something truly original to it that makes it just as much theirs as the original artist. If you can't "own" the song you are covering, why even bother covering it?

Anyone can probably enjoy these two clips of genius. It combines my favorite music (Count Basie) with some of my favorite comedy (Jerry Lewis, Family Guy).

It is hard for me to understand what it takes to have YouTube keeping the uploaded quality. I can see (a few) other people managing it, but I haven't been able to do it myself. No matter how good format and quality, I upload, YouTube will always diminish it. The original file that I uploaded this time was 350MB, but the best quality available now is 130MB 211MB. Fine, of course, but not as fine as the original. For normal videos, Facebook actually keeps a BETTER quality, than YouTube!

I know what you mean. When I first started learning, I struggled with the sound of jazz. i was always thinking, "Man, this is REALLY boring. I'm trying to like it...but I can't. What am I not getting?!" Anyway, years later i realized that there was nothing wrong with me. Most jazz really IS boring. Sheesh. I even took lessons from the top players around here just to confirm it for me, because i was really uncomfortable with that thought. But i finally found jazz that was awesome, fun, and you don't have to be a jazzhead to enjoy it.
-
OK, I'm going to put myself out there:
I hope you guys enjoy it. I'm not a big fan of solo piano jazz, but I couldn't get a good trio together so I had to play this. So, I don't think this song is all that exciting, but it's pretty good. It was more of overcoming a challenge for me. I felt I had crossed some line where I could play legitimate jazz now, so I learned that song from my favorite piano player, Gene harris. I plan to do more later, better stuff, too. I'm MUCH better now. That was a great experience for me.

OK...time to resurrect this thread. IMHO, it's one of the most interesting topics that ever showed up on this forum. :Thmbsup:
Here's a hugely talented lady that brings back memories of the great female rock/blues singers of the late 60s and very early 70s. Her name is Dana Fuchs who (despite a very loyal following) deserves to be much better known than she is.
This video is from her live performance at B.B. King's in NYC. The song is called Almost Home, and you can watch it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_1giUi0Itw). No fancy choreography, half-naked dancers, tattoo pose-downs, special effects, or staging in this vid. Just five and a half minutes of solid music by a woman who knows how to do it - and does. Those who remember Janis Joplin before her tragic last few years may feel a twinge of recognition in the musicality and passion behind this performance.

Not in the least.
I have a great deal of respect for any grown woman who has enough confidence in who she is, what she looks like, and what she's about, that she can be a little 'playful' without going over the top about it.
Fortunately, she's more than sufficiently talented that she doesn't need to rely on her considerable looks or sensuality to make us want to listen to her.
That's rather...refreshing, don't you think? ;D

P.S. Even my GF was amused by that single button. Her only comment: "Wow! She's really something, huh?" ;D :Thmbsup:

Ah! I just remembered who she reminds me of: Rebecca Gayheart. I used to have the biggest thing for her when I was a teenager.
-
I keeping with my current theme of late 60s early 70s blues/rock female vocalists, lets not forget Linda Ronstadt - that tiny little lady with that great big voice.
Later in her career she branched into musical theater and the so-called Great American Songbook. But prior to that, she owned any rock stage she walked out on.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Here's Linda Ronstadt, at the top of her game, performing the Eagles tune Desperado. This video is from her legendary 1977 appearance in Atlanta GA during her Simple Dreams tour. Many Ronstadt fans consider this to be her definitive concert. Even with the limitations of the era's recording technology, the power of this woman's voice comes through loud and clear.
Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAK5Ids7l5g&feature=related).
If it meets with your approval, also check out Blue Bayou (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfPMkHpEFug&feature=related) and her take on the Rolling Stones song Tumblin' Dice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FMi2XDHwG4&feature=related) with a segue into You're No Good.

I'm trying to have respect for the girl mousey, but other than TGIF I see zero appeal about that clip. The post-production that warps her voice grates my ears, the lyrics are horribly repetitive and the visuals itself are pretty plain.. so the only thing I can really respect her for is that she's not bouncing around like a girl who got lost on her way to the pool.
Now this is some epic music: clickety (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0zgQAp7EYw).

After watching ~10 seconds of that video, I needed a healthy dose of Suicide Commando. Unfortunately I couldn't find any interesting videos to link to, but F*** You B**** would've been pretty appropriate - or perhaps Bind, Torture, Kill :)

Linda Ronstadt! My mom was a big fan when we were growing up. I know all those songs by heart. Strong voice.
-
This one has a lot of meaning for me. I first played it at my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary. The room went quiet as we (my girlfriend and I) slowed danced alone on the dance floor. We both started crying half way into the song and that's when I proposed to her. It became our wedding song, and I still get emotional whenever I hear it. So, I hope it touches you as deeply as it touched me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6VojYGrnpg

Seriously?!? Marylin Manson (Sweet Dreams) on a 50th wedding anniversary?!?
The original song by the Eurythmics is good...and that one I would expect to be played on a 50th wedding anniversary. Annie Lennox sure has a great voice, especially in those days. And as covers go, Marylin manson did a marvellously good job with it.

Here's one for present and future fans of dark cabaret. (If you don't know what dark cabaret is - look here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Cabaret).)
May I present Ms. Amanda Palmer and Mssr. Brian Viglione of Boston's own Dresden Dolls in a video of their song Coin-Operated Boy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4gPZPKJc0s).

This video tells an interesting story. And it's been analyzed to death up on the web, often provoking strong reactions (pro and con) from both sexes. Pay close attention to the last five seconds of the video. Amanda Palmer puts her acting talents to use and leaves us with something that, while very subtle, should leave no doubt as to how to interpret the story - or understand where the girl in it is coming from.
Strange how often what passes for 'strength' is just another manifestation of sadness and despair.

Great group. A little different - and maybe not everybody's cup of tea - but still a great group.
They're currently "on hiatus" and working on individual projects. But their website (http://www.dresdendolls.com/) is up for any who are interested. Also visit Amanda Palmer's personal site here (http://www.amandapalmer.net/). Very intriguing lady with some interesting things to say. Check out her blog while you're at it. Very raw and honest. One of the few personal blogs I visit regularly.
Some excerpts from her blog commenting on the whole Rebecca Black Friday video phenemenon.
It's kinda long BTW
almost everybody can relate to rebecca black.
almost every pre-teen year-old girl in american is singing shit like this in living rooms and bedrooms after school, singing into that universal hairbrush, dreaming about being lady gaga, britney, avril, whoever, dreaming to be the pop-star that somehow signifies freedom, acceptance, awesomeness, status, happiness, success.
but the world has changed. the living room now has cameras and the cameras connect to youtube.
i wonder about this all the time…about what the fuck would have happened if i’d had all these tools of social connection online and ability to broadcast myself at 15.
i would have been SO FUCKED.
i was so eager to connect, so eager to share, so eager to be accepted, that no doubt my life would have been a narcissistic avalanche of facebook updates and groovy hipstamatic self-portraits taken by candlelight on the roof of my parents porch after getting stoned and scribbling on my online journal about how NOBODY FUCKING UNDERSTANDS ME and how I AM SUPPOSED TO BE A ROCK STAR and WHERE ARE THE FUCKING MEN IN THE FUCKING LIMO TO PICK ME UP AND DRIVE ME AWAY FROM THIS GODFORSAKEN SCHOOL AND THESE HORRIBLE PEOPLE WHO DONT UNDERSTAND ME IN THIS GODFORSAKEN SUBURB AND DRIVE ME TO WHEVER ROCK STARS ARE SO I CAN START MAKING MUSIC VIDEOS LIKE CYNDI LAUPER????
fortunately for me, this did not happen. the music i was writing and my singing voice at 15 were awful…like, REALLY awful. i was screamy, off-kilter-not-in-a pleasant-way, off-key….just…awful. i had not found my voice. i wasn’t a natural, not by a long shot. and autotune didn’t exist. i would have been FUCKED.
instead, i wrote, alone at the piano, cranked out bad song after bad song and conjured up imaginary masses in my narcissistic little imaginiation - i played for STADIUMS in the silence of my parent’s living room - and i dreamed of a “Yes, Someday” when i would actually access people. there was no internet access. there was no access.
rebecca black GOT that fantasy fulfilled.
the men in the limos came, in the form of ARK music factory.
unfortunately.
the girl’s career is over, and she’s only 13.
or is there hope?
is it possible that she can achieve anything without the shadow of this catastrophe?
and why does everybody care?
i put the lefsetz list at the bottom. it’s brilliant…thumbs up. all very right fucking on…
there’s a huge emotional component at play here as people all over the world lambast - and try to protect - a fleeting, (currently) unreachable icon.
even hitler’s got an opinion (hint: he had a bad reaction).
but the true question stays….can any good come of this?
does she have any hope of having a normal life after this?

from @lefsetz:
Rebecca Black Lessons
1. Selling recorded music is not the only way to make money in music. Ark Factory came up with a new way, ripping off the parents of little kids. Let this be a lesson to you, rather than complain that the old model is dead, innovate.
2. Old media loves to piggyback on new media. “Good Morning America” featured Rebecca Black as did “The Tonight Show”. Make noise and old media comes running.
3. Old media is last.
4. If you want to make an instant splash, you’re better off starting online instead of hiring a publicity agent and using old wave apparatus to dun old wave media.
5. Shelf life online is forever. Like a land mine waiting to be stepped on decades later, if you can Google it, it can always blow up. In other words, a spin on radio evaporates, a YouTube clip is waiting to explode.
6. Young kids want to play in the big time entertainment world. Having been sold prepubescent kids as talent, they ask themselves, why not me? This paradigm, like reality TV, will never die. But like reality TV, it’s only part of the landscape.
7. A tastemaker is anybody with an audience. In other words, Tosh.0’s got more impact than Lucian Grainge or Lyor Cohen. Tosh.0’s got an audience. If labels were smart, they’d figure out how to be a brand themselves and gain an audience independent of their roster, but they’re dumb.
8. YouTube hosts videos for free. Too much emphasis is being put on how much Rebecca Black is getting paid. More important is the mechanism that led to her fame. Used to be you had to pay independent promoters to get your track on radio, hoping to have it heard and discovered. Today airplay is free.
9. Music and video production are cheap. Rebecca Black’s mother paid Ark Factory two grand and got not only a song but a video. Not only does this beg why major label productions are so expensive, it reinforces the fact that anybody can play. In other words, if you’re bitching about needing money to make it in the music game, you’re playing by the old rules.
[note from AFP to lefsetz: there’s NO way that song and video cost only $2k. even if everybody at ARK worked for slave wages, or free - and why would they? - that wasn’t a $2k video. there’s another deal going on there. ARK has since posted a youtube vid “explaining their stance” - they sound clueless. labels do not “charge artists for videos”, etc. the whole thing is completely whack and someone needs to give the guys a lesson in bullshitting. see clueless scripted expose video HERE.]
10. Train-wreck is more important than quality if you want instant attention. If “Friday” weren’t bad, only mediocre, or mildly good, no one would care.
11. In the modern world everybody feels he’s entitled to express his opinion. Fifteen years of the World Wide Web have taught people this. Track comments more than spins. Comments demonstrate that people care. But for how long?
12. Don’t equate fame with being rich or longevity. Fame is oftentimes brief and oftentimes the famous make almost no cash. I.e. reality TV. But there’s an endless parade of wannabes willing to prostitute themselves for a bit of fame. Is it the human condition or a reflection of America, where the poor can no longer be rich and fame is a substitute?
13. Those in the old world pooh-pooh. Yesterday’s story was how little money Rebecca Black was making off her success. If you think it’s about money, you’ve lost the plot, it’s about fame. Furthermore, in the connected world, real money comes AFTER fame. It’s old wave CD thinking to believe people will pay up front to experience something new. It’s usually free and you figure out how to extend the life and profit from it afterward. With the mainstream media clamoring to feature Rebecca Black, she can get an agent and sign on as a host for Nick or Disney. Don’t think small, but big. Don’t think music, but fame. In other words, if all of today’s Top 40 acts want to start clothing lines, which have nothing to do with music, why should Rebecca Black be limited to the music field?
14. Give the money away. Not only does it deflect criticism, it helps your bona fides. In other words, Rebecca Black is smarter than Beyonce. In the new world, you give back simultaneously with making it. Black is giving her profits to earthquake relief in Japan. How come she’s smarter than all those stars who played for a dictator?
15. In the modern world, you’re part of your audience. Don’t place yourself above, but within.
16. If you’re twentysomething and have been slugging it out for years trying to make it don’t complain about Rebecca Black. She lives in a different world. To make it and last in music takes longer than it has since the seventies. The MTV era made stars overnight, which faded almost instantly. Now you gain traction slowly, only your fans know you, they spread the word online and you pray that you never gain a Rebecca Black moment, because that means you’ll be ridiculed and be toast.
17. To get a lot of people to pay attention very quickly you’ve got to get lucky. I.e. Tosh.0 directing fans to the Rebecca Black video. You cannot plot success, your career map is not set in stone, you get in the game and try to get lucky. Better to keep playing and fail than polish one track and hype it to high heaven.
18. You do not need radio or record stores to make it. There is no physical product, airplay didn’t break “Friday”. Anyone telling you you need a label is sorely mistaken.
19. Either go for train-wreck value or be exceptionally good. Yes, if you’re an “artist”, mediocre doesn’t cut it. The landscape is evanescent lowest common denominator crap or incredible art. In other words, if you’re not going to be the next Bob Dylan or Radiohead, stay in school.
20. Rebecca Black is a bigger story than SXSW, certainly than any band that played there. Question the old game. Instead of wasting money to make yourself feel good, stay home and think. Come up with something that truly gets us to turn our heads.
21. Scale is important to instant success. Tens of millions of people can watch a YouTube clip in weeks. Nowhere near that many can see you live.
22. Broadcasting once not only fails in radio, it fails in TV. We live in an on demand world. Rebecca Black’s video was available on demand on YouTube.
23. There are more people who want to glom on to a success and ride it to their own personal nirvana than can create something new and different and make it. In other words, there’s a cottage industry of prognosticators and analysts jumping on the Rebecca Black train for personal advancement, like ME!

Something I've become very interested in lately is the 3-string guitar.
But first, a confession: I'm not a big a fan of The Blues.
I know it's cool to like blues music. Some people almost grant it religious status. And a few countries (most notably the UK) have a long list of "blues" players (Clapton, Mayall, et al) whose devotion and admiration for the idiom borders on fetishistic.
Whatever...
Maybe because my primary instrument is electric bass, I get bored holding down a groove based on pentatonic scales and a I-IV-V chord progression. I'm sure it's a lot more fun to play blues if you're a guitarist. But as a bassist, I find it 'kinda boring' after a while. (Note: a great many bass players will disagree with me on that point.)
So while looking for a more interesting role for myself when musical friends gather to commit an act of Blues, I stumbled on something called the cigar box guitar. The CBG is an American folk instrument that was popular around the turn and early part of the 20th century (ca 1890 to 1930 approx), and extensively used in various blues forms, most notably Delta Blues.
This was the Poor Man's Martin. Put together with scraps of lumber, salvaged hardware, and a wooden cigar box for the body, they were both easy and cheap to build. Most had three strings and were hand made by people who knew as much about traditional guitar making as they did particle physics. But despite their humble trash bin origins, these instruments were capable of producing some amazing sounds. And in the hands of a real musician, were also capable of producing some superb music. Many big name blues guitarists, including B.B. King, have owned and played CBGs.
And they're still being built today.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Note the drain cover 'rosette,' the eyebolt 'bridge' and what I think are inverted cheese shaker lids for 'resonators.'
CBGs have enjoyed a bit of a renaissance over the last several years as more and more musicians are discovering just how unique and musical an instrument it is. So unique and musical that it even got me (closet bass snob extraordinaire) interested in the Blues for the first time in my life.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] Here's a video put together by a CBG builder John McNair (http://3-string-guitar.com) to demonstrate what you can do with one of these instruments. Link here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz5wMGovkuQ).
(Note: Guitar people! Check out that AXL AA-DSP-10 ThinAmp Portable Amplifier he plugs into. Amazing what $139 can get you assuming you can still find one of these terrific little amps! Check eBay since they're no longer being made last I heard.)
The CBG is probably the most common manifestation of the 3-string guitar. But other musicians, in keeping with the "found art" tradition of 3-string guitar building, have adapted the concept to whatever was at hand.
Enter Seasick Steve and his 3-string "Trance Wonder" guitar...

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Where would the three string be without Ol' SeaSick???? He is perhaps the most revered player who still graces the stage with his beat up 3 string and always leaves the crowd wanting more.
His sound is super ranchy, ultra primitive and distintly Southen in its flavor . His guitar is a generic unbranded guitar from Japan that has an old Harmony pickup added and is played tuned to G, G and B using an E string in the A position, a D in the G position and a G in the B position.
***
At his gigs, he often tells the story that he bought it for $75 in this condition in Como, Mississippi from a man named Sherman, who later told him he only paid $25 for it the day before. He vowed never to add another string, and that he would tour the world telling his story of how Sherman ripped him off. All in good fun as Sherman Cooper is a good buddy, who gave him the guitar having had it nailed to the wall as a decoration. A lot of the time he also adds (while picking up or putting away the guitar) that it is the "...biggest piece of shit in the world, I swear"....

For this he uses an ancient and equally beat-up god-knows-what POS 6-string that also sounds great. (Where does he find these things?)
If you like roots music (or maybe didn't think you did - like me) it's well worth checking out.
Fine music by a genuine musician. Recommended. :Thmbsup:

Going from 3 strings, to 14...
two-handed tapping technique on a 14 string double-neck Tapatar guitar:
My dad, the jazz nut, doesn't really care for Flint Blade, but I do. I think I enjoy watching him almost as much as listening. He has more videos uploaded, so if you like this one, check out some of his others.
-
@April - Cool find.
Wow! a Tapatar. 'Big cousin' to the Chapman Stick and among the rarest of rare bird (as in weird) instruments... you're the only person I know (other than me) who ever heard of it. Zither meets clavichord in a portable form factor. Even the Wikipedia doesn't have an entry for that puppy. Not even sure if it shows up on Google yet. (It didn't used to.) ;D
Didn't know about this Flint Blade however. The only Tapatar player I'm familiar with is a gent by the name of Michael Bianco. There's a video of him here (http://www.myspace.com/video/vid/12724169) playing something a little more up my alley than most stuff that gets performed on stick-type 'tap' instruments.

This guy changed my mind about Chapman Stick.
Never was really impressed until I heard this.
Turns my crank and chills me out at the same time:

From what I understand, Michael Bianco designed the Tapatar...and Flint Blade was one of his students.

And while everybody's in an acoustic mood, here's a guy who changed my mind on neo-classical fingerpicking...
Ewan Dobson (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ewan+dobson)
Time 2 - Did he just play trance music on a guitar?
Korobeiniki - AKA the Tetris song.
Wash Away - Reminds me of summertime on some island somewhere oh so much nicer than here...
(and no, I don't know what's going on with the crazy costumes... :huh: )

Just went looking for some other Michael Bianco videos (I wasn't that familiar with him), and OMG I THINK I AM IN LOVE! :-*
-
Awesome stuff everyone. I love how this thread has gone through so many variations. I'm digging this latest string instrument kick, especially the creative/unusual tack. Particularly enjoying the CBG stuff and Ewan Dobson.
Tapatar is cool, similar to what I used to do (as a total non-guitarist) to "play" a guitar and have fun. But it seems a bit too random-ish and frenetic in some instances (hit as many complementary notes as fast as you can!). There's clearly lots of talent there though.

+1 on Dobson. Especially that first song. His time is so dead-on it's almost unreal. You could calibrate a metronome off his beat it's so precise. Amazing! Love to play a 'long set' with that guy someday. :)

I went to see the Dead Kennedys the other night, and they rocked!
Pictures are here:
Dead Kennedys Concert Pictures (http://cynic.me/2011/04/07/dead-kennedys-concert-pictures/)
They kicked with "Holiday in Cambodia" so badly, that I don't know if I can ever appreciate it the same way again. It was so absolutely spectacular!
Here's a link for it on Youtube:

Been a while since my last post, so here's a few more that I really enjoy:
Joe Satriani - Always With Me, Always With You (Live)
I never get tired of Satriani, and this song is just... :-*
...and this one with Grace Potter, Joe Satriani, Steve Kimock, Reed Mathis, Willy Waldman and Stephen Perkins, where they cover Neil Young's Cortez the Killer, is fantastic:
To keep up with the guitar-theme, here's another sublime song to round of this post:
God is a Astronaut - Snowfall
The video isn't official, but I think it suits the song really well.
Enjoy! :)

Look up the "Time 2 Techno Remix" at Grooveshark (http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/search?q=ewan%20dobson%20techno) (the only place I've found it), it's like they didn't even have to adjust the bpm on the drum machine.
(Techno's not my thing, but the piece kinda lends itself, noam sayin'?)
(Are those military and Ninja costumes in reference to the Vietnam War? Or Free Tibet...or a MMORPG character...or something? Anybody know whats up with that?)
Somebody in one of the Youtube comments made a disparaging remark about his "Raiden costume", whatever that means...
Maybe this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raiden_(Mortal_Kombat))?
Either way, if anybody's interested, he's got some free(!) downloads at his page:

Initially I found Satriani's guitar sound too clean (for the song that's in it) but he is really good, and I just love the trumpet, it makes it I think - and naturally the singing, and, and... :)

Wow, awesome stuff from Mr. Konstantinovic. As I said above I used to "play" guitar similarly to this (much the same way people, including myself, randomly fiddle around on pianos and other instruments), but I had no idea it was considered a legitimate technique and could be taken to such an amazing level. Just goes to show there's no "wrong" way to play anything, as long as it sounds good!

Gratifying and depressing at the same time when you think of how many years of great performances and music their fans missed out on due to that interminable squabble they were having (or still have?)...
Maybe they too have grown "comfortably numb" enough to realize it's finally time to bury that hatchet.
But next time somebody please put a Fender Precision™ in Rodger Water's hands? He's still one of the best rock bassists that ever took the stage. And teamed up with Dave Gilmore's Stratocaster, it's a match made in heaven. :up:

Carl Sagan had such a beautiful way with words...so poetic. It was already a song in prose, long before this was made.

Hauntingly beautiful music...
Sunwrae - Chinook Winds
This appeared on the CC licensed compilation album The Silent Ballet: Volume 11, which you can download for free (http://www.archive.org/details/LostChildren065) from archive.org.

That is beautiful. Though in my opinion it's not hauntingly so. It's a bit too upbeat and jazzy to be haunting, IMO.
Kwoon's "I Lived on the Moon" is a good example of something I'd call hauntingly beautiful. (I saw you post both of these songs on your blog today, so I know you like love I Lived on the Moon as well.)
Either way, thanks for pointing this out and for the link to the album. :Thmbsup:

To change genres, here's a lovely song from a Norwegian electronica artist: Philter. He's been releasing tracks for free (http://thephilterlounge.com/music/) for a few years, but finally released an official album a month or so ago. Here's his first music video:

Couldnt find a decent video of Amy Winehouse (very strict copyright stuff going on here...) but heard these guys doing a couple of covers of her songs lately. Seems like a good tribute to Amy Winehouse. (They do a lot of covers I see - I've only heard a couple but like them.)

Here are some good quality Amy Winehouse.
Personally I find the first one (You Know I'm No Good), pretty amazing:
There's also an alternate "demo" version of You Know I'm No Good, which i like the sound of even better, but this youtube of it has some total imbecile talking over it which makes it nearly unlistenable:

I've always thought that song was a good example of decent songwriting.
It's definitely not my favorite song nor genre, but I can't knock it either, and these folks do it pretty good.

Back in the early to mid 90's my father and I decided to get to know each other a lot better. One of the things we have in common is our passion for music, even though our tastes were completely different. He has been a lifelong lover of jazz and I was into progressive rock. So we made and swapped mix tapes containing all of our favorite music. On one of the tapes he made for me were a number of Oscar Brown Jr (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Brown_Jr) tracks, some of which were quite amusing.
And this is one I had not heard till yesterday:
This one is really sweet. If you have kids, you'll probably love it.
-
Heard this music a good few times before I saw the singer - she sounds a lot older than she is, or is it that she looks a lot younger than she is :)
She only has one album out (Zaz) I like it all, but it turns out my two favourite tracks are by another french singer (Raphael)
and if, like me, you aren't allowed see that last video, try this live version
ZAZ Live (Port Coton) Bikini Toulouse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW_S0gydWQk&feature=BFa&list=PL18DA6A521DA1EDF9&index=45)

If your taste runs to "haunting" or "ethereal" or "romantic" it doesn't get much better than Caroline Lavelle. A beautiful musician if ever there was. And in both senses of the phrase.

Daniel Ingram has done it again with Find A Pet Song from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
There is something pretty Disney about this song that just makes me love it.

One of my favorite musicians and songs.
Loreena McKennet performing All Souls Night from her Live at the Alhambra concert.
Fans of exotic (at least to many Western listeners) instruments will especially enjoy the backing orchestra.
The sound quality on this clip doesn't do the DVD justice. If this is your sort of thing, don't miss checking it out. :Thmbsup:

More a traditional Samhain song in that the oldest tradition of the Celts wasn't Christian. One of those basic 'portal' festivals that occurred on solstices and equinoxes. In this case the beginning of the 'season of darkness' where the door between the realms of the life and death was opened for a single night and free passage back and forth between them made possible. A severely watered down version continues on as the children's holiday of Halloween. Many of the rituals and imagery of this festival (and others) got repurposed for the 'new' Christmas by Christian missionaries when they systematically wiped out the old pagan culture and traditions in the British Isles.
I sometimes wonder what someone from one of those old indigenous tribes would have thought if they could see how the most (some argue second most) important spiritual event of their year has been reduced to a silly costume festival - and an excuse for vandalism.
Anyway...if you enjoyed that clip, there are several others from the same concert also up on YouTube. :)
-
^ Christmas-date is based on the older winter solstice festivals (and the celebration that the days are getting longer).
was Samhain/Halloween/All-Souls-day not related to the equinox? No, that's earlier - seems to be as you say end-of-summer/start-of-winter fest.
Okay, I see from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain), they do say that Samhain might have been considered as the start of the year. Hadn't known that before :)
-
This song is not twelve hundred years old. I have it on a "Celtic Christmas Songs" compilation.
-
^Yup! The old Pagan calendar (and festivals) don't exactly sync or equate with our more modern post-Christian ones - although ritual equivalents and overlapping themes abound. Mircea Eliade and Joseph Campbell had a lot to say on that topic.
The old calendar is found "in the blood, the sky, and the earth" and differs from the seasons "born of the Book of the New Law" as some of today's pagans would put it.

I'm sorry. Did somebody say it was 1200 years old? I don't recall Loreena McKennett ever saying that. :huh:
Although she is also a recognized and respected musicologist, so if she did say so, you can be sure she can point to evidence, such as a period manuscript, to support such a claim.

"The Book Of Secrets
-f0dder
Thanks.

OK...I'm surprised I've never mentioned this artist before considering what a big fan I am...
May I introduce Ms. Happy Rhodes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Rhodes), guitarist, songwriter, and singer with an almost freakishly huge (and documented) vocal range which runs from A2 through G6#. Translated into English, that's four octaves, or half the keys on a grand piano.
Her styles are varied, and have had people compare her to such diverse performers as Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, and David Bowie. And her lowest registers are so deep (for a female) that some people have openly questioned her real gender. (She was born and remains a biological female in case anybody's wondering.)
The following are a few (of several) videos up on Youtube that show some of her amazing stylistic and vocal range.
The Chosen One
Temporary And Eternal
And her now famous version of David Bowie's Ashes to Ashes Space Oddity.
(And yes, that's really her unaltered voice throughout.)
She deserves much greater recognition than she's been given.
Note: There's also full footage (1.5 hours) of one of her Tin Angel concerts that can be found here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtWPPsTtOe0&feature=youtu.be).

And just to switch gears, a song I find myself liking more and more as time goes on. Moreland & Arbuckle's Purgatory.
Not sure how effective the video itself is. (Missing some 'hotness' if you know what I mean?) But I think the song is spot on. Some gritty 'bad attitude' music for a rainy afternoon.
:)

enjoyed that especially - there's a link to a better quality version of the same video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiIqnvFAoHs&annotation_id=annotation_740133&feature=iv). It is kind of shocking when she starts singing deep after all that high singing!
oh yeah, FWIW, the Bowie cover is Space Oddity

Yeah. Until you see her do it live in concert there's times when you'd swear she had someone up there singing with her. And when she starts flipping back and forth with different styles in different ranges in the same song it can almost sound like a duet. Very spooky!
The thing I admire is how easily she could turn it all into a gimmick - but never does. Everything she does is in keeping with the music. Probably one of the reasons why she hasn't cracked the commercial mainstream.
Pleasant person too. Great sense of humor and a sweet disposition. Treats her audience well - and puts on a good show. As a result, she has one of the most loyal group of fans you'll find anywhere. And deservedly so IMO.

Actually, I'm surprised I didn't do a shout out for cellist Caroline Lavelle when I did Loreena McKennett above.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Caroline is one of those musicians who provides the whole package - in this case the dreamy, romantic, elegant cellist. She's got 'the look', the voice, and can she ever play the cello.
This from her appearance at the TED talks performing Farther Than the Sun.
And for fans of celtic inspired pop No More Words - The Trees They Do Grow High
Bunches more up on YouTube. And her website can be found here (http://www.carolinelavelle.com). :Thmbsup:

Hmm..traditional step and hip-hop moves with world-beat fiddle playing?

How does she do the "wub wubwub" stuff live? :huh:
-
^Usually plays her part live over a recorded backing sequence.
Although I could see her performing with someone like Thomas Dolby. Give him a modern sampling keyboard and a half hour to program it and he could easily fake an entire orchestra. I've seen him do it. Just throw in Dr. Didge on didgeridoo (or a good bull-roarer player) for authentic "wub-wub" and you'd be all set.

Doing the camera sweeps and locale changes live might be a problem however. Need a magician for that. ;D

Billy Idol with Hold of Really like - IMHO his best out of the three excellent audio he submitted. It characteristics a rather fascinating style and bit-part celebrity known as Betsy Lynne Henry as Devon (how 80's), the loli-girl down-the-hall next door neighbor. (Really! How Eighties can you get?) I'd like it if he would re-record this without that overproduced MTV seem. It wold be better as a immediately mountain instrument variety.

Maybe a little off topic, but I have a question regarding this video. I got the .flv file from Youtube, it plays ok but I'd like to convert it to another format (DVD and iPod). I have tried 2 different video converters that used to work fine : Any Video Converter from Anvsoft and XmediaRecode. They both have an issue : in the resulting video, the sound is terribly out of sync. I know it's a common problem, but if someone knows a converter that would handle .flv format better, I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks.

I hope I haven't posted this already. But I found the excerpt below from Gene Harris' biography (written by his widow), so I feel compelled. Gene is my primary influence in piano, his music is wonderful. Following the excerpt below is one of the songs from the concert described (two parts):
In reality, I don't think Gene and I viewed Otter Crest as a turning point in his life until a few months later when a videotape of his performance, sent by a member of the Jazz Society of Oregon sound crew, arrived in the mail. At the time, neither Gene nor I had any idea that the concert had been taped. I was surprised and excited and wanted to watch the tape immediately, the gene was strangely hesitant. "What?" I said. "What are you talking about? I was there; you have got to see this. You're not going to believe it. First of all, you're not going to believe the way you played, and second of all, you're not going to believe the joy written all over your face, John's face, Jimmy's face, the audience screaming and yelling. You could put your hands in the air and feel the energy and the love. There aren't words to describe what you guys did."
He seemed almost embarrassed at the prospect of watching himself on tape, which I didn't understand. "Haven't you ever seen yourself perform?" I asked.
"Never," he said. "Not once, and I'm not sure I'm ready now."
"Well, it's about time," I said, taking the tape and putting it in our video recorder and then getting him a beer. As Gene sat and watched he became transfixed. Like so many others who had enjoyed his music over the past 30+ years, he was alternately laughing, shaking his head, and fighting back the tears throughout the two-hour recording. When it ended, he just sat there for a minute, as if not believing what he had just witnessed. "My God," he finally said, "now I know why people are the way they are after I finish playing. I never really understood."
"Didn't you ever listen to your recordings?" I asked.
"No, not very often," he replied, as if suddenly realizing the impact his music had on others. "I...never...knew..."
I think it was then--in watching the Otter Crest crowd's wild and spontaneous reaction and the way Smith and Heard fed off of his playing--that Gene realized that he needed to share his talent with a larger audience and seek the widespread recognition that had eluded him for so long.

Oh my!
First a quibble: Does it have to be a music video, or just a song? Because of X videos it's a lot of work to find the ORIGINAL video on some songs! Some songs didn't even HAVE a video, so it got added later.
Okay, some random stuff:

And immediately afterwards, in my head I hear "Diamonds!... and rust!". :P
(I wore that album out probably 3 times in my skateboarding years. Awesome stuff)
P.S. My favorite cover of "All Along the Watchtower":
Tons more soul and attitude than the album version, in fact that whole compilation had some killer tracks from seminal up-and-comers, scene staples, one-hit wonders and forgettables.
This was the soundtrack for my first year out of high school :Thmbsup:

Still Alive (lyrics)
Still Alive
music and lyrics by Jonathan Coulton for Portal
This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.
I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces...
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are still alive.
Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa...
THAT WAS A JOKE.
HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist...
Look at me still talking
when there's Science to do.
When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are still alive.
And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing Science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.
STILL ALIVE!
(Still alive.)

Ok...I don't know about the rest of you...but I'm pretty much burned out from all the serious 'politics & technology' discussions we've been having for the last two weeks.
I need a break.
Here's a neat little group from Norway called Katzenjammer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katzenjammer_%28band%29). They're one of those "weird groups" as they're usually called in the industry. Oddball instruments, eclectic program, unusual but solid interpretations of other people's music, and some very good stuff of their own. Easy to listen to. (And not too hard on the eyes either.) A 'fun' group in the truest sense of the word.
from Wikipedia:
Katzenjammer is a Norwegian band from Oslo which was formed in 2005.
The band members are Anne Marit Bergheim, Marianne Sveen, Solveig Heilo and Turid Jørgensen. Their music mixes genres such as folk music, pop, rock, country and balkan music. Even though the members are from Norway, their lyrics are in English. The four members switch instruments often and have a stated goal of playing instruments they haven't played before.[1] They play more than 25 different instruments, including some which are quite unusual in a band setting, such as accordion, contrabass balalaika, zither, ukulele and melodica. The band collaborates with Mats Rybø, a fifth "phantom member", who has written the bulk of the band's songs.
The band cites many influences including Goran Bregović, Danny Elfman, Django Reinhardt and Knutsen & Ludvigsen. Also, the band states that they are not only inspired by folk but cartoons as well.
Gotta love them taking chances like that! :Thmbsup:

Shepard and Princess
After several drinks and a few hours I'll probably move over to industrial metal and techno. Possibly ending the night slumped against a wall staring off into space as I let hard core death metal blast all around me... (@Renegade - consider this me throwing down the gauntlet! ;D )
But for now, I just want something sweet, light, and genuine.
So ladies...if you will indulge me please? :)

Not a music video, but a movie, "Color from the Dark" is an H. P. Lovecraft adaptation:

Nice find! Thx for the link.
If there any more closet members of Starry Wisdom out there in need of an additional fix of Cthullu's elder evil goodness, be sure to check out Chris Lackey and Chad Fifer's H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast at www.hppodcraft.com
Light-hearted discussions about HP's works. Fun guest hosts, readings of some of the better known segments, plus an occasional full text reading - complete with creepy music and subtle sound effects.
Fun show -and not too serious like some Lovecraft sites are. HP was known to have a great sense of humor, and he often did spoofs and pastiches of his own and fellow Weird Tales writer's (i.e. Clark Ashton Smith, August Derleth, Frank Belnap Long, and a bunch of others - all of whom seem to have three names each. Very posh, no?) works.
In the meantime, rot your brain watching Cthullu in 3D!
FWIW, the above "movie" pretty much sums up the gist of most Cthullu stories. So if you don't have time to read Lovecraft you'll at least know you've grokked their essence once you invested the requisite 40 seconds watching My Little Cthullu 3D!

Someone I've followed for years: Deborah Henson-Conant - harpist extraordinaire.
When was the last time you heard someone bend notes, play the blues, and do some Hendrix on a "harp" that wasn't made by Hohner?
Smart, small, funny, and intense...here's Deborah playing and singing her Way You Are Blues.
She's just as sweet and genuine offstage as she is on. Plus, she has a wonderfully dry sense of humor.
All in all, a very interesting person to either listen or talk to.
There's lots more of her up on YouTube. Awesome Lady! :Thmbsup:

Some of the best from one of the best: Chrissy Hynde
Tatooed Love Boys
MiDDLE OF THE ROAD - Live Aid 1985
Even today, she can still do it better than most rockers half her age.
Precious (live)
The guy on the Les Paul lets the time on his solo get away from him towards the end despite Chrissy and everybody else in the band trying to get him back down to the correct speed. That's one guitarist due to get his ass kicked royally by Ms. Hynde once everybody gets offstage and back to the greenroom. She doesn't suffer fools gladly. (She's been known to occasionally 'dope smack' band members when they piss her off.) Oh my, yes!
Don't Get Me Wrong (live)
Again note Chrissy around the 2:25 mark doing a little counting an time synchronizing to help the guy on the right keep it together.
Cantankerous and complicated, onstage and off. She's still everything live rock is all about. And one of the very few good music things that came out of the 80s.

The Pretenders ~ Stop Your Sobbing
(a Kinks song)
-
@tomos - Absolutely! That was the original (and best IMO) Pretenders lineup. The later incarnations never completely recaptured the magic of James Honeyman-Scott (died of heart failure brought on by cocaine intolerance) on guitar and Pete Farndon (fired from the band for performance issues brought on by his drug problems - and found dead in his home from a heroin overdose a short while later) on bass.
Not that it hasn't stopped Chrissie from trying to get it all back, as is evidenced by the fairly large number (13 and counting) of former members the band has since had in it's lineup.
The later incarnations of the Pretenders were good. Just not as good as the original. Fortunately, Chrissy Hynde remained consistently superb throughout all the vagaries.

Anybody have any doubts it's a small world?
And it gets even crazier. This is Abigale Washburn, a traditional and roots player (along with her own stuff) who is popular over in China.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
NPR has her in for one of their Tiny Desk Concerts. (Note: I really like the Tiny Desk series because it pares everything down to the basics. Much like a private "living-room concert," Tiny Desk is just the band or performer setting up and playing in NPR's offices to a small audience of people who really know music. There's no lights, or exotic sound tech, or stage sets - so there's absolutely no place to hide. It's musical performance stripped down to its absolute essence. If you really want to see what a musician or group is made of, just have them perform in a similar setting, and you'll soon discover who really 'has it' - and who just gets away with it.)
From the NPR website:
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Abigail Washburn's music career, now 10 years old, had an unlikely start. Washburn had plans to study law at Beijing University in China. She'd also recently bought a banjo — she wanted to take something to China that was American — and she'd fallen in love with the music of the legendary Doc Watson, in particular his banjo playing in the classic folk tune "Shady Grove."
So Washburn decided to embark on a road trip to study the banjo, and to learn tunes. She found her way to the Augusta Heritage Center in West Virginia, then to North Carolina and then Kentucky to the International Bluegrass Association. It was there that she sat down with a few women to play music, and right then and there was offered a record deal.
So her plans changed and she canceled her journey to China. Still, even though Washburn began a music career instead, the country remains in her heart. Her career has since taken her to China, and she now mixes American bluegrass and folk with Chinese folk music.
You can watch it and find out more about her here (http://www.npr.org/2011/01/04/132439510/abigail-washburn-tiny-desk-concert). (Sorry. NPR doesn't allow you to embed video like YouTube does.) There's also a bunch of videos of varying quality of her up on YouTube.
This isn't the sort of music I usually listen too. But I must admit her music has grown on me with repeated listening. It's got a certain simplicity and purity of sound that masks the sophistication of the music and the group that performs it. It's a subtle thing they do. And they pull it off brilliantly.
Breath of fresh air AFAIC. And just the thing to clear the head after a busy day. :Thmbsup:

Well look who's back! Van Halen.
They're a bit older, and heavier, shorter-haired, and slower - with a new recording which sounds considerably more refined and somewhat self-conscious than their earlier manic and borderline out-of-control trademark sound.
Maybe it's a function of age or increased maturity? (Both of which don't slot too well with the entire premise behind Metal.) Either way, it's an enjoyable enough song on it's own. These guys can still sing and play - although I kept hoping they would step up the tempo just a tad since the song seemed to drag slightly in a few places. The drumming, always the weakest link in the VH line-up (and further argument against hiring family members) is certainly much better than it used to be. On second thought - scratch that remark. Eddie's son Wolfgang is far better on bass than Michael Anthony ever was.
About the only real problem I had with the video was some of the choreography. Which is to say it's all very obviously mapped out down to the last move. And David Lee Roth also needs to cut down on the dance antics a bit. What might be amusing and cool for a 20-something to do up on stage in a live rock concert only looks silly to the point of embarrassing when performed by a man of 58 in a carefully edited 'artsy' music video...
But then again, David Lee Roth wouldn't be David Lee Roth if he acted any other way would he?
And it's good to see Eddie up and about with guitar in hand following his bouts with chronic avascular necrosis and cancer.
Welcome back guys! Please don't blow again it this time. ;)

This video is just a photo slideshow while the music plays. I really love the music in this song. But I'm not sure what to make of the lyrics. The lyrics make me think this song is either about a psychotic serial killer/stalker or some sort of forensic investigator.
Lyrics
Falling out of touch with all my
friends are somewhere getting wasted,
hope they're staying glued together,
I have arms for them.
Take another sip of them,
it floats around and takes me over
like a little drop of ink in a glass of water
Get inside their clothes
with my green gloves
watch their videos, in their chairs.
Get inside their beds
with my green gloves
Get inside their heads, love their loves.
Cinderella through the room
I glide and swan cause I'm the best slow dancer
in the universe
Falling out of touch with all my
friends are somewhere getting wasted,
hope they're staying glued together,
I have arms for them.
Get inside their clothes
with my green gloves
watch their videos, in their chairs.
Get inside their beds
with my green gloves
Get inside their heads, love their loves.
Now I hardly know them
but I'll take my time
I'll carry them over, and I'll make them mine.
Get inside their clothes
with my green gloves
watch their videos, in their chairs.
Get inside their beds
with my green gloves
Get inside their heads, love their loves.

Be forewarned... If you try to look at all the pretty girls, you WILL break your neck or at a minimum get whiplash. If you don't believe me, then go ahead -- just post back from your hospital room so I can say, "I told you so!"
Oh, and make sure to get into the Yonsei Severance hospital in Gangnam on Eonjuro as it is an excellent one. Don't go to Cha hospital, as it's a women's hospital and you'll only further exacerbate your neck injury.

I liked the Pink Floyd in there. I thought it worked pretty well. The original Bee Gees is here:
I think the drums make it work there. It comes in smooth. The middle part was a bit surprising, but seemed well done. Kind of reminds me of the old "Dr. Hook" stuff, e.g. Hooked on Classics, etc.
But seriously -- that was on a regular radio station? I'm shocked. Cripes, they even say:

According to PSY himself, the phrase repeated throughout the video, "Oppa n Gangnam Style,” roughly translated into English means "Girls, your big brother is Gangnam Style."
In an interview with ABC news, PSY explains that "Gangnam Style" refers to a luxurious lifestyle associated with Seoul’s trendy and affluent Gangnam district.
“Gangnam means, it's like Beverly Hills of Korea," he says. "But the guy doesn't look like Beverly Hills. Dance doesn't look like Beverly Hills. ... And the situation in music video doesn't look like Beverly Hills. But he keeps saying I'm Beverly Hills style. So that's the point. It's sort of a twist."

As some of you may know from a previous post in this thread (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=15984.msg244617#msg244617), I'm into the whole cigarbox guitar and homemade musical instrument thing. Over on Cigar Box Nation (http://cigarboxnation.com), the big hangout for CBG enthusiasts, there's a video section where the members can share what they've been up to. It's a pretty mixed bag that spans the gamut from absolute amateur to serious professional. Which is fine because Cigar Box Nation is much like DoCo in that it welcomes people of all levels of interest and ability. The important thing is not so much how well you do it as it is that you do it. And most importantly, have fun while doing so.
One of the people on CBN I've been following is a busker from the UK. She's an instrument builder and songwriter as well. This one is definitely what I'd characterize as professional. She goes by the name Bemuzic (http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/) and can be found over at the Bandcamp website. Here page is here (http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/).
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
She recently posted a short street performance of her song The Line which I really liked. She's playing a 3-string CBG-type instrument called a "Fiddlestick," which was built by another CBN member who goes by the name of Diglydog.
Here's the video:
It's refreshing (to me at any rate) that there are real indy musicians out there, performing their music, and polishing their craft. I'm also glad there are things like Cigar Box Nation, Bandcamp, and Youtube that allow them to get their music out there.

There will never be another Janis Joplin AFAIC. :-*
But at least we still have a few high-caliber female vocalists like Chrissie Hynde and Dana Fuchs around to help ease the pain. ;D
(BTW: Dana does a very respectable Joplin "tribute" from time to time. She doesn't try to copy Janis Joplin's performance - she just pays homage to the essentials. IMO it works rather well.)

But if you have a chance, do watch the "Lifeguard Style" video - it's pretty well done.
-
^I think it's great, and I don't even like the song all that much.
Hmm... supposedly they were fired for using public facilities "for their own benefit."
Wonder if some sharp attorney might want to take the city up on exactly what it considers constitutes "personal benefit." Because with all the official, quasi-official, and unofficial "perks" municipal employees enjoy (e.g. Are the police or public works employees allowed to take their lunch breaks using city owned vehicles since lunch hour is personal unpaid time and definitely not official business? What about the nod & wink approach of most offices to occasional personal use of city stationary, phones, photocopiers, etc.? And does putting a paper towel from the ladies room in your purse constitute theft of municipal property since you didn't use it for the purpose it was officially provided for when you took it?) it might open up enough of a can of worms they wouldn't want to go there.
In truth, I think these lifeguards had the misfortune of being considered a "safe example" that could be made more for the benefit of the permanent city employees than the seasonal ones. Because going against a permanent city employee for anything (including serious criminal acts) would have involved labor unions, politicians, and endless hearings and meetings.
So yeah, it's a BS job action on the part of the city (note the timing - they're mostly going back to school) with the lifeguards being the fall guys.
Moral: Always watch out for hidden agendas. Government is loaded with them. :-\
Addendum: Oddly enough, I bet the one thing they could burn them on is the part about the unauthorized "use of city issued uniforms." That's one that does have a long history of being enforceable. Freshman year of college, me and a buddy of mine got canned from Macdonalds for that. We always kept our uniforms on when we used to go across the street to Burger King for our lunch break since we only got a half hour. (The Whopper was much better than the BigMac as far as we were concerned, even if we did have to pay full price for it. :mrgreen:)

As some of you may know from a previous post in this thread (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=15984.msg244617#msg244617), I'm into the whole cigarbox guitar and homemade musical instrument thing.-40hz
have a look at the first couple of minutes of this video (go to 0:30 if you're impatient), they show box and tin fiddles. The tin fiddles (1:00) are amazing quality - unfortunately we dont get to hear them play (I dont know if any are playing quality any more).

@tomos - Thanks for the above. Never heard of a tin fiddle before. Interesting video about fiddle playing in general too.
A few of the CBN people have done cigarbox violins. Some of the results have been surprising. This particular one by Elmar Zeilhofer sounds quite amazing in the hands of an obviously talented and classically trained player by the name of Phoebe:
Although you'd never mistake the sound of a box violin for that of a fine concert instrument, that doesn't take away from just how good it does sound. Something that flies in the face of the myth that decent sounding violin-type instruments are beyond the scope of the average instrument builder to create.
Elmar is also involved in several other interesting projects such as this experimental "harp" guitar. This design combines several old ideas (i.e. 'harp' strings) with some modern innovations such as his own "flat pickup" design (http://www.original-flatpup.com/) and using the obscure 'sliding rail' mount for a magnetic guitar pickup.
The results are wonderful:

I really would like to hear it with something more "traditional" though - I mean it would suit that better.

He (Jack White/White Stripes) has some great songs, and really super old blues and country classic covers e.g. Death Letter (Son House Cover live) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fM2qhG8mA4)
I'm not sure who wrote this one (also unfortunately couldnt find the official video on YT - possibly here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOKkdD2i21g) - but blocked for me) but I love it - Loretta Lynn & Jack White & co (starts about 15 seconds in)
He did (wrote/produced/played) some bond theme lately too - the one with Alicia Keys, lets see...

Here's another White Stripes video of them playing live. I really like it:
Love the sound she gets out of those drums. I'm not a musician so I have no idea what I'm talking about but I know what I like. I'm reminded of the comments from Kim Deal of the Breeders (one of the greats) complaining about "real" bass players trying to be fancy (skip to about 1 min in):

-mouser
She's a nice straight-forward drummer. Low on flash and high on good taste IMO.
The sound you're hearing is from a classic "old style" drum kit that's "close miked." In her case, they're made by Ludwig and have either 3-ply or classic maple shells. That gives them that organic and noticeably warmer more melodic sound than you'll hear from modern drum kits which now have shells made from fiberglass, other synthetics, or composites.
The newer materials make for drums that sound louder and are able project better. But they have a 'harder' sound that you either like or you don't. (I don't.)
The Stripes also have a preference for Sennheiser microphones (the e900 series plus the KM184) which contribute significantly to their sound. Sennheiser isn't the most common brand for miking drums although it is an excellent choice.
-------------
re: Kim Deal
I can agree with her up to a point (being a "real" bassist myself - whatever that means ;D) but I think it really depends on the group, the sound you're going for, and the song.
My take on it is that the bass serves the music, not the other way around. And I don't particularly care for what my GF refers to as "lead bass" players. In a power trio (like The Who) you may well need an Entwhistle to fill in the sound a bit. But for a regularly staffed group, too much bass just muddies up the waters.
One bass player who really "gets it" is Ronnie Blair of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Pick up a copy of Damn the Torpedoes and listen to the understated elegance of his bass lines in Here Comes My Girl, Don't Do Me Like That, Shadow of a Doubt (A Complex Kid), and Refugee and... Ah screw it! Just listen to the whole thing. Great classic rock songs with flat-out brilliant guitar and bass work. IMHO it just doesn't get much better than that for the genre.
Another truly great bass player is multi-instrumentalist Tony Levin. Tony is that rare bass player who is comfortable in any venue and with any style of music. A complete all 'rounder that runs the gamut from traditional "walking bass" to bleeding edge experimental - and somehow manages to remain enjoyably listenable no matter what he does.
Check him out onstage with Peter Gabriel playing his iconic bassline to Sledgehammer.
(Note: for the bass connoisseurs out there - he's using a Musicman Sabre Fretless Bass with a sub-octave effect plus a ton of compression on the board. I mention this because the "Sledgehammer growl" is one of the most sought after bass sounds ever recorded.)
Oh yeah! :-*

Nice!
Cohen's Hallelujah has been done to death by so many singers I now cringe whenevr somebody records another version. But this performance is quite nice even if he took some liberties with the lyrics.
However, best is still the Lenny Cohen version used as the theme in the movie Watchmen. At least IMO. :up:
I particularly like Jeff Buckley for his song Grace.
Has some of that early-70s progressive rock vibe. :-*

An utterly psychotic performance of an utterly psychotic (and her best IMO) song. Here's a young Alanis Morrisette doing You Ought to Know live at the Nulles Part Ailleurs in 1995.
Then there's this oddly hypnotic piece by Beth Orton called She Cries Your Name. Not much of a video, although Beth is certainly cute in a scruffy tom-boyish sort of way in this number - even if I haven't a clue what the video has to do with the song. But the song is very interesting. A haunting melody with some excellent acoustic guitar work (maybe with a tiny hint of Kaki King in places) and some superb jazz flute stylings. Almost Joni Mitchell-like to my ears. If you're like me, it grows on you with repeated listening.
And since I mentioned Kaki King, this is an example of some of the avant-garde things she plays. This is Playing with Pink Noise - the piece that put her on the map - and took an innocent Ovation Adamas guitar (now sold as the Kaki King signature model) places never dreamed of by it's creators.

love that Beth Orton track, though I've not seen the video before (it doesn't add anything)

Pleasant and listenable. The perfect "for headphones" meditation or background music.

Here's an interesting one from both a musical and a historical perspective.
Back in the early 70s, the ABC network hosted a marvelous concert as part of their "Wide World (fill in the blank)" network brand. In this particular instance it was the Wide World in Concert series, and the performance was Cat Stevens and his 1973 Moon and Star concert.
I find it interesting to compare and contrast the young Cat Stevens (as self-confessed seeker of truth) with his current incarnation as Yusuf Islam, a devout convert to Islam who now knows The Truth with absolute certitude.
Interesting...and saddening. But so it goes.
So here's Cat (not Yusuf) performing the full Foreigner Suite, which was the finale of the Moon and Star concert. Listen to the words and see the sheer joy that permeates the song. Then think of the altogether too serious and humorless older man this same musician/songwriter has become since he's...well...just listen.
------------
Note: the audio quality leaves a lot to be desired since it's dubbed off analog video and suffers from the limitations of 70s era recording technology. Not that it really matters. Cat Stevens packs more musical inventiveness and creativity into the seventeen and a half minutes of "Foreigner" than most songwriters generate in their entire career.
This is a performance that hits one of those elusive moments every musician dreams of. The moment where it all just comes together - and a song gets absolutely nailed. Pay special attention to his backup singers. They are stellar - and for some odd reason come through the otherwise muddy sound with remarkable purity. Probably one of the finest live performances ever recorded.
For the best experience (and that authentic 70s "concert sound" ) crank it up! That's how most music was performed back then. Loudly!

Geat find Deo. Good dancer too!
Parts of it remind me of something Moses Pendelton (founder of the Pilobolus and Momix dance companies) used to do. He created a white suited character with a valise and cane that used to do some truly amazing dancing. Closest I could find is this really poorly made and choppy vid on YouTube that is a clip from a bio special done on him by A&E. Worth watching in that Moses has a bit to say about the artistic design that went into this character. And Moses Pendelton is one artist who is really worth listening to. Too bad the vid is so lousy because Moses has this weird ability to make time seem to speed up and slow down during this dance. You can get a sense of some of it. But whatever was used to compress the original probably got confused and tossed out too many frames in places when Pendelton almost hangs in the air or while in motion. Sitting in the theater, it makes you blink because you'd swear the universe itself had just frozen up for a second or two. Truly amazing stuff. I'll keep looking to see if there's a better quality vid available somewhere.
And if you like that, take a look at this favorite Pilobolus piece called Shadowdance. None of this is computer generated. They do it live with nothing other than lights, a scrim screen, and a huge amount of talent and creativity.

Addendum: Ok! Found it. The whole documentary is available for viewing on Vimeo. Link here (http://vimeo.com/8567696). Moses does a biographical sketch about his 33rd birthday which is almost an extended dance piece in itself. How typical of him. ;D

Something a little different in cabaret style this time. La Vague performing an interesting version of their song Straight Contrariwise.

Nice clip, 40. I really like this song, and I have a story behind it. Years ago, I was talking with a friend about music groups and their inspirations. He told me that he had read in an interview that Talking Heads really just wanted to be a white version of K.C. and the Sunshine Band. I scoffed, until one day I was listening to K.C. and the Sunshine Band's first album (scored the vinyl at a Goodwill record bin) and tried to imagine David Byrne singing "That's the Way (I Like It)" and somehow, it clicked. This same friend also told me he had read that Led Zeppelin's main influence was Joni Mitchell. I didn't believe him on that either, until one day I happened to listen to Led Zeppelin II in it's entirety before flipping on the radio and "Free Man in Paris" was the next song.
Bingo.
Now I can't hear that song without imagining it's Robert Plant singing... ;D

^Yup. Joni Mitchell, the musical genius pretty lady from Canada. I've adored her work for as long as I've been listening to music. One of the most innovative of jazz-inspired vocalists. The first song I ever heard by her was Night in the City (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CH32wTLa-o). I must have played that song for two hours straight amazed by her voice (and trying to figure out just what Steven Stills was getting up to with that bassline) before I went out and and bought everything by her I could get my hands on. I've never looked back.

Did you know she is a big explorer of alternate and experimental guitar tunings? Much of what she plays doesn't use the standard Torres EADGBE.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
When she got a guitar synth it really opened things up for her because she was no longer restrained by the physics of the strings and could set each to whatever note she wanted it to be. And thanks to the miracle called MIDI, could even do tuning changes within a song in realtime. She once said her favorite compositional technique was to come up with a new tuning and then write a song using it. She said she liked alternate tunings because each time you found one it was like having to learn how to play the guitar all over again. Oh my!
She's also a recognized and respected modern artist when it comes to painting. Her artwork fetches serious money in major galleries whenever it appears. She's done the art for almost all of her albums too.
Amazing lady. :-*

^^Great lady. She has also inspired some of my favorite artists.

Here's a short excerpt from Cowboy Bebop:The Movie This is the opening, part of a song by Yoko Kanno called Ask DNA.
Gummed up, brain dead and can't decide
you can't pray enough, you can't hide
You can be cool or you can cry
Do it wrong
Not it all
Or do it right
No one owes you, no one's to blame
Save for bad genes or DNA
Ask your conscience the why and how
Do it then
Do it when
But, do it now

Something a little different. A jazzy solo bass arrangement of the classic Beatles song In My Life from their groundbreaking Rubber Soul album.
I normally don't go in for things like this since they're usually more interesting to watch as displays of technical virtuosity than they are worth listening to as a pieces of music. But in this case, bassist extraordinaire Rob Smith handles it with aplomb (and some string tone to die for) in this little homemade video.
I'm still amazed at how (through some adroit tapping) he manages the entire harpsichord bridge that is the signature part of this song.

This is a wicked cool Big 4 video:

Slayer
Of all the concerts I've been to, Slayer probably has the least showmanship. They simply don't need it. Their music takes over and replaces any need for any kind of showmanship.
The top performances in the above video are from James of Metallica and Dave of Megadeth. I have a lot of respect for Dave Mustaine.

Dave Brubeck:
-
^Wow! Brubeck's Take Five. Sounds so simple and easy the way Dave and Paul play it. Or does until you try to perform it yourself the first few times. We're so trained in symmetric 3/4 and 4/4 timing (and their variants) that it can be a challenge to not accidentally loose that smooth 5/4 beat (evenly count: 1-2-3-1-2, 1-2-3-1-2...) - or subconsciously "correct it" and start playing in 4/4 time instead. It's a subtle thing.
But subtlety is the mark of true genius. And Dave Brubeck had it in spades. :Thmbsup:
-
Yes, making off-time sound perfectly natural, that's something to behold.
In the rock/metal world, I've only heard Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden, Drive Like Jehu and Mnemic pull it off effortlessly. Everyone else it sounded gimmicky, like they were very deliberately counting out that guess-my-time-signature with the riff rather than just letting it flow.
Nice to be reminded again how it's done. :Thmbsup:

Since we're "living in the past" for the moment, here's two of Rock's soon to be "Greats of Yesteryear" in performance at the Canterbury Cathedral in 2011. May I present Messrs. Justin Hayward (Moody Blues) and Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) performing two Moody Blues classics: Forever Autumn and Nights in White Satin.
Of course the future of Moody Blues performance is secure since their appointment of Norda Mullen as their new flutist/guitarist/backing vocalist. Interesting interview about the role of the flute and flute players in the Moody Blues:

Who would have thought that the highlight of the Hurricane Sandy benefit would be an absolutely badass performance by Sir Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear (a Germ meets The Beatle)?
The helter skelterish song is “Cut Me Some Slack” and it was written collectively by the group during a jam session. McCartney, playing a cigar-box guitar, does some amazing solo stuff. This really did exceed my, and most people I’ve talked to, expectations.

Since I trace most of my musical roots back to the Boston punk scene back in the 70s I'm always happy when I hear somebody carrying on the tradition in backstreet clubs of "The Hub." So here's something from an unusual (and sadly defunct) group from Boston called Morphine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M34iZH4-qkI&playnext=1&list=AL94UKMTqg-9Clvl_ntySy1mcziXMsNksK). Very unique blend of jazz and rock elements in a group featuring vocals, percussion, tenor and baritone saxophones, 2-string slide electric bass(!) - and no guitars. If the early Lou Reed met up with Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart) and Tom Waits, a couple of 'old school jazz' sax players, a carton of cigarettes - and a big bottle or two of Wild Turkey bourbon - it would sound like this.
If you like your music mostly dark and smoky- often conjuring up images of dark rainy nights in a big city - this is the band for you. :Thmbsup:

Dude, if I had time for a band, I would hire that drummer. I've often wondered why people into electronic music didn't do that kind of thing more often, using trigger plungers to strike real drums instead of arguing about how 'live' the samples on any given drum machine sound...

My only objection to post-rock is how so many of these groups make that mistake every amateur musician makes when they start doing their own recordings: excessively extended intros.
I know some of it's to set the mood or establish a little ambiance. But do we really need a half minute or more of drone pads or sequenced beats before a song begins? Like the "Gumby" characters from Monty Python said:

One day, my buddy asked Houston Person (legend jazz/r&b sax player) to play with our combo. He listened to the album and said the exact same thing. he said "give it a measure and get on with the song". So I thought that was funny.
Now there is one long ass intro I wish I wrote: the beginning of "Long Way There" by the Little River Band. They milked that one real good.

I just used Android's "Google Now" song recognition on that video and it said the song is called It Happens So Quickly, by Farzad Azima (https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Bprbhdftsaj2kkbvvwh6boc7lxq&tid=song-Toowddlkx3apae6qgljlndz3k2e).
A fitting title, considering the events in the Dead Island trailer.
Though I think that's just a "remix" of the original song. . . The other songs on that album are just... awful.

Saw this recently. A 1972 Belgian TV "live studio" performance by Genesis before they became a pop band under the influence of Phil Collins. This was also before Peter Gabriel started doing all that pretentious dressing up and related nonsense onstage. This is straight up early progressive rock with the sui generis lineup of orchestral wannabe keyboard work, soaring guitar, drums, melodic treble-y Rickenbacker-fueled basslines, obligatory flute noodling, pseudo-profound lyrics...
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Genesis was one of many in the genre. The only difference is they did it better than many (if not most) bands that tried it.
The selections are all from the Nursery Cryme album. I'm surprised how well it's held up over the years.

Tony Monaco, hammond organ player extraordinaire, gives the most concise explanation I've ever seen of all the awesome things about this legendary instrument. With a performance! Tony is also the most willing and prominent educator for this instrument out there, as far as I know.
Yesterday, I emailed him and told him my goal was to play the hammond organ as if I were mimicking a big band (count basie, to be specific). He put this video up less than a day later. I had initially told him I was interested in his drawbar settings, since I've known he goes through the trouble of rewiring everything to his liking. I was blown away by this. He makes tons of references to big band stuff, even basie's guys. What a generous man.

Watch this sweet sweeter sweetest music video ♥ :
Half an hour later: I just realize that any "young" readers may not have the slightest idea about the connection between a "pair of roller skates" and "a key". From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_skates "skates like these fit on over your shoes and were adjustable" - however, I don't think the author really knows the subject, because he doesn't mention the important key. You totally need the key, in order make the skate fit your shoes - the very point of Melanie's song.

remember an electric bass can be used for far more than slapping, popping, and speed riffs.-40hz
Indeed! Mr. Lombardi's got a nice touch there.
Love Eno's stuff, though I can never remember to actually go to it and listen, I just have remembrances of having heard the song and go "Aw yeah, that's awesome!". Faves include "1/1" from Music for Airports (yeah, I know, it was more Wyatt and Davies than Eno, but it still rocks), "Sky-saw" from Another Green World, and the oft-overlooked collaboration with Robert Fripp "No Pussyfootin'".
This whole bass thing reminded me of something: In the early 90's of Seattle in the thick of the Grunge movement, there were many great artists and bands doing some great sonic experiments that would pop up, blow people away, and then fade into the static.
One of those great experiments was Sadhappy, featuring some things I never knew a bass guitar was capable of, and a good showcase of early work by certified saxophone nutcase Skerik:

And while everybody's in an acoustic mood, here's a guy who changed my mind on neo-classical fingerpicking...
Ewan Dobson (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ewan+dobson)
Time 2 - Did he just play trance music on a guitar?

I knew I recognised that hat :D
... and that track still sounds really good :up:

4 chaps from Liverpool should have known better but are singing a rather well-known song of theirs:
My vague wording is of course meant to protect from "this video is not available in your country".

Not a music video, but definitely worth a listen.
I describe it on my music blog (http://instrumentalunderground.blogspot.com/2013/08/montibus-communitas-hacia-aquellos.html) as...
If you set the controls for the heart of Peru, started chopping through the Earth (careful with that axe!), beginning in the highest mountain and kept chopping till you came out in Pompeii, in the year of 1972, let the Echoes flow through the Earth, from the past to the present, you'd have to call it Hacia Aquellos Bosques de Inmensidad, (meaning ''Toward those woods of immensity''), a 4 track EP album, by Montibus Communitas.

Here's this week's winner for me - I had no idea the BeeGees had an "early" period! It's also a unnerving mix of the lyrics and the overall tone.

BeeGees "I Started a Joke".

My GF found this one in [in a write-up over at a rather odd (to my mind) site. Link here (http://50.28.60.91/~upliftme/index.php/people/natural-healing/521-tree-hugging-scientifically-validated).
One other fascinating laboratory that studies plant vibrational energies is Damanhur, an intentional community in Italy. In this peaceful and spiritual ecovillage there is a laboratory in the woods that offers a beautiful choir of singing trees. Yeah, you read that right... singing trees. Since 1976, researchers at Damanhur have invented and developed equipment that can capture electromagnetic changes on the surface of leaves and roots, transforming them into actual sounds. The best part is, these trees seem to control their electrical responses via a feedback mechanism, and demonstrate a kind of awareness and preference for types of music. The singing plants and trees of Damanhur have sparked off such a worldwide fascination that the people began organizing “Plant Concerts”, where musicians perform to the music created by the trees.
Watch this 15-minute video of a beautiful demonstration singing plants while one of Damanhur’s researchers explain the phenomenon.
From what I've seen, I can't 100% buy into the conclusions these folks are reaching since I've heard many other musical sequences generated by natural phenomena or random processes that the human mind tends to interpret as conscious musical composition. (ex: see Charles Dodge's album Earth's Magnetic Field (1970) for one well known example.)
That said, the music is quite beautiful regardless of whether the claims of "plant consciousness" being made in the video are scientifically valid or not. Give it a listen and see what you think:
-
great mix here lately :up:
@TaoPhoenix my favourite older Bee Gees track is the very schmalzy "To Love Somebody"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykU8iSKkJR0
@40hz, do you remember that book 'Supernature' - it claimed plants responded to people just *thinking* about cutting the plant. No idea if true. Would be interesting to see the same experiment (as in the video!) tried with humans or other animals.
Finally,
I came across this video by serendipity - the way the keys are shown seems to tie in with my last two days work, trying to display information *meaningfully* in bar charts. Music takes a moment to start:
variation here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJsyMmC76aM) (non-fading bars)
he's got a whole bunch more (http://www.youtube.com/user/musanim?feature=watch) of very interesting visual "presentations" of music.

-tomos
@tomos - indeed I do remember that book. I had several friends who were big Lyall Watson fans. They were also into the whole Findhorn community thing plus some other stuff I've since forgotten about. Their current fav is What the Bleep do We know? video - which they believe lock stock and barrel.
I'm not disputing there may well be plant 'intelligence.' But I also think:
(a) it hasn't been conclusively 'proven' one way or another
(b) a lot of what is ultimately 'proven' will depend on what you accept as 'intelligence.'
I'd personally like it to be true. But not so much that I'm willing to accept it on faith as most people I hear advocating for it do.
Just because something "seems to be" doesn't mean it is. Same goes for "looks like" or "is virtually identical to" or "behaves in much the same manner as."
From what I can gather, their devices are measuring changes in galvanic response which are then converted to midi data and passed to a very nice synth module. It's a pretty big leap going from that to calling it "communicating" in my book. But maybe that's just me. :mrgreen:
Truth is, whenever you're using one of those 'celestial' sounding 'pad' patches, it's going to sound pretty good. You can turn a two year old kid loose on one of those settings (I have btw) and what comes out will sound very musical in most cases.

This next isn't a video. It's a trailer for The Invisible Lighthouse - an interactive movie/solo-performance by Thomas Dolby. Currently touring the USA October 2013. Info on locations and dates here (http://www.thomasdolby.com/).
I saw Dolby perform live some years ago and was totally blown away by the blend of fine music wedded to absolute technical sophistication. This gentleman is definitely worth seeing of you get the chance.
Getting back more firmly on topic, here's the EP single of Ocenea, a haunting song which figures in The Invisible Lighthouse.
And for those who wonder just how well Tom Dolby could handle what he does solo in a live venue, here's a live solo performance of Europa and the Pirate Twins to give you some idea of what you can expect.

I saw an interview with Ylvis and yes, they are parodying popular music with all it's accoutrements and smorgasboarding from a handful of other genres. But then again, when has pop music not borrowed elements from the edges to serve sanitized to the mainstream? I've always held that pop music was self-parodying most of the time anyway, so when things like this come along, I find there's a particularly gritty irony in that while parodying pop music, they actually came up with a quite listenable... wait for it... pop song.
"...gaze into the abyss... (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Beyond_Good_and_Evil#Aphorism_146)" :huh:
I mean, if this had been about "boy wants/meets/loses girl" or "we're having a great time at this social gathering" instead of ridiculous animal noises, these guys would be, at this very moment, having the world offered to them on a silver platter (in the form of a tidy record contract, of course).
-
A little off-topic in the sense that there's no accompanying video, but the music more than makes up for that imo:
nice and mellow--and upbeat at the same time; it gets going about the half-minute mark -
Tonbruket - Peace (2013)
(I dont know anything about the music or the musicians, just came across it..)
-
That idea of mellow and upbeat at the same time reminds me of The Flashbulb. He has made a few tracks that feature a similar feeling, at least to me. Planet Th is not quite as mellow as Autumn Insomnia Session though. Both also have somewhat interesting music videos accompanying them.

I see Ulrich Schnauss as the ultimate in mellow and upbeat at the same time.
Years ago when I wasn't sure how to describe the music to a friend, I said "It's kind of like techno, but also really calming."

This is a fun one. WoW's composer Jason Hayes has put together a group of talented professional musicians who will be arranging and performing music from famous computer games. The group is called Critical Hit - and this is their first video, the theme to Angry Birds.
I'm glad they're doing this for two reasons:
1. There is some really great music lurking in many old and new computer games that would sound fantastic if played on something better than a sound chip. Deathgate, M.U.L.E., Elite and a bunch of other games too numerous to list would all be ideal sources for some great musical arrangements.
2. This sort of music is fun to play if you're a musician. Tricky time and key changes, the opportunity to incorporate and show off some unorthodox playing techniques and special effects, and (above all) catchy melodies? Gadzooks! - most musicians I know would be lining up in droves for the chance to audition for this sort of ensemble. Music should be enjoyable to play and listen to. Something far too many composers seem to have trouble understanding.

Somebody I'm starting to listen to. She seems very promising. Great voice and vocal styling too. Displays a vocal maturity and sophistication you might not expect in one so young. And she's from Scotland???
Her name is KT Tunstall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KT_Tunstall).
It's always pretty ballsy for anyone to try covering a Dylan classic. But she does it here with aplomb IMHO.
She also shows talent in that subspecies of music performance called "looping":

Snarky Puppy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snarky_Puppy)!
If you haven't listened to this collective of 35 or so musicians, take some time out and do so.
From the band's website (http://www.snarkypuppy.com/):
FULL BIO
Snarky Puppy is truly a different kind of musical animal.
The once Texan, now New York-based quasi-collective has gone from the best-kept secret to one of the most respected names in instrumental music. Although still “underground” in many respects, the band has earned high praise from critical stalwarts like the BBC, Village Voice, Guardian, and Boston Herald, and has performed at some of the best venues and festivals in Asia, Europe, Australia, and North America.
The band has always used live performance as its chief form of evangelism, and maintains a more intense tour schedule than almost any band in the idiom. Over the course of 2013, Snarky Puppy will give almost 200 performances and workshops on four continents, including North Sea Jazz, Monterey Jazz Festival, Jazz á Vienne, Blue Note Tokyo, and the Melbourne International Jazz Festival. Their last album, the live DVD/CD “GroundUP,” reached #14 on the Billboard Jazz Charts and #3 on the ITunes Jazz Charts in 2012, topped only by Grammy winners Robert Glasper and Esperanza Spalding.
Snarky Puppy seamlessly fuses a deep knowledge and respect for musical tradition with sonic and conceptual innovation in a way that is able to reach the most critical- or most carefree- audience. The convergence of musicians from white and black America (who also perform regularly with artists like Erykah Badu, Snoop Dogg, Kirk Franklin, Justin Timberlake, Roy Hargrove, and Marcus Miller among others), which occurred while the band was in its adolescence at the University of North Texas, has naturally established a system of balance that instantly draws listeners to the music- raw funk and sensitive dynamics, relentless pocket and lyrical melodicism, lush harmony and soulful simplicity, and most importantly, a delicate mixture of composition and improvisation.
The group is led by award-winning bassist/guitarist/composer/arranger Michael League, whose creative grass-roots approach to a tougher-than-ever industry has created a new model for independent artists. Snarky Puppy is a three-headed creature: first, and most obviously- an original music ensemble. Second- a production team and session band for individual artists. Third, and probably most importantly- Snarky Puppy is a group of musicians enthusiastically committed to music education and community outreach. Working with groups like ROAM (Roots Of American Music) in inner city Cleveland and the Music Lab at Jefferson Center in Roanoke, as well as giving clinics at hundreds of colleges, high schools, and middle schools worldwide, the band has made a strong commitment to spreading their love of music and general positivity to a young generation looking for something real to be inspired by.
The band has several albums out. But my favorites come from their Family Dinner series of live performances. More below
About Family Dinner
On March 8th, 2013, Snarky Puppy and a host of special guests convened at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke VA. The dream, envisioned by Michael League, was to record a series of live performances in audio and video that would bring attention and benefit to the ongoing work of the center. The Jefferson Center is a non-profit arts center that is revitalizing a key neighborhood in Roanoke with the restoration of Jefferson High Schooland the renovation of the Shaftman Performance Hall. the hal;l brings world class music to the local community through the Music Lab, providing education and recording space for local children.
As Snarky Puppy set up to record yet another live recording with the audience on the stage, special guests with an interest in supporting the project arrived. Lalah Hathaway, N'Dambi, Lucy Woodward, and Chantae Cann joined Malika Tirolien, Magda Giannikou, Shayna Steele and Tony Scherr in what was to become a legendary live session that celebrates the diversity and joy of live music. With the stunningly beautiful theater as a backdrop, the result is a masterpiece of Jazz, R&B, Gospel, and Blues music captured for the world to fully experience.
To give you an idea of just how good they are, check out these two videos from Family Dinner. The first features a 12-year old guest singer by the name of Jayna Brown. This tiny girl has to be heard to be believed. (And to think people go so crazy over Lady Ga-Ga...)
Next up is Lalah Hathaway doing what she does best. Be sure to check out the reaction of the band when Lalah starts singing tri-tone chords around the 6 minute mark. The band only realizes what she's doing about a half minute later. Awesome!
:Thmbsup:
-
holy crap, that Snarky Puppy is awesome! Those are all alpha-prime level musicians. I was blown away by the chords Lalah Hathaway was singing, wtf?! And she was controlling the pitch on the fly like that? It reminds me of the more crude versions of that that I remember from guys like Bob Seger and Kenny Rogers, with their raspy voices kind of doing 2-note chords, but nothing like what Lalah did.
Speaking of Hathaway, here's my good friend Miz Dee doing my favorite version of the Donny Hathaway (Lalah's dad) classic I Love You More than You'll Ever Know:
I recorded this almost 15 years ago, wow. This is the blues bar where I first cut my teeth.

I miss that place so much. It was perfect. Monday nights, right next to the university on the famous Telegraph street. The blues bar is basement (Harlem style!) of the main bar. The acoustics perfectly filled the room (look how good it sounds with just a camcorder). The crowd was real and raw. And the musicians were awesome.
-
This sort of jazz-pop isn't my usual thing. But I liked this recording. Classy for a change. And the pedigree lineup of players is nothing to sniff at. (It includes Pino Palladino - one of the truly great masters of electric bass. Worth a listen just for him alone AFAIC.)
Pino is one of those session bass players that most people won't recognize by name or sight. But he's played (brilliantly) with just about everyone. He's more a "musician's musician" than a star. If anybody's interested, here's an interview with him discussing that flawless performance on fretless bass that put him 'on the radar' (and made half the bass playing world wince with envy) back in the early days of his career.
Pino! Mr. Bassman! :Thmbsup:

Esperanza Spaulding. Tiny and devastatingly talented. One of the best things to come to jazz in the last decade. The lady is "scary good" and equally adept at classic and modern jazz idioms.

Yes, >the studio version (https://soundcloud.com/mossyproductions/tunnels-trains-by-one-eyed)< is even better, but I really like this outdoor live version from a balcony with snow.
Here we also have a XYLOPHONE (just how often do you have the chance to type a word beginning with x ? No, Real Life is that the xylophone was invented & named to give meaning to the letter x !) a double bass, freezing fingers, and a broken string!

thank you, both of you. They're quite all right, these Home Free guys. From what I've found, I Want Crazy was not their best track, but maybe their best live act - which of course is what counts the most in a competition.

I was talking about the Low F# he hit (and sustained) more than anything else. You can just barely hear it on substandard speakers being in the 44Hz range. But, that's not even my favorite track of the competition from them... but that in and of itself is very impressive.

I got interested in the sound of the Hang Drum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_drum) some time back.
It's a lovely instrument with a unique sound, the broader adoption of which is hampered by the somewhat elitist and precious attitude of its designers. One does not simply go out and order a Hang Drum. (You can read all about how that works - along with some additional faux-mystic blather - on their blog here (http://www.hangblog.org/the-call-of-iron/#english).)
We have decided
- to keep on building the Free Integral Hang. We will practice every day to keep the sensual plasticity from fading and the tonal energy from ebbing.
- to pass the traces of this work to interested parties who accept our views and travel on their self-accountable path.
- to make the few Hanghang available on the basis of letters and recommendations.
- to not keep waiting lists.
- to pay more attention to how the Hang is developing in the world of therapy. We are skeptical because we are not convinced that this branch lends itself to a reasonable application of the highly complex Hang. Despite having asked for feedback on this subject, we have received only a few reactions and experiences.
- to not turn our attention to the media such as YouTube and CDs. We know that the high dynamic of the Hang sound cannot be captured by microphones, and loudspeakers only distort reproductions.
- to inform all Hang players on streets and in parks that we are flooded by letters from people who were deeply moved and also want a Hang from PANArt. We are asking all street musicians to contemplate their mission.
Exactly how requiring a potential buyer to "accept our views" while simultaneously and contradictorily insisting they "travel on their self-accountable path" is a mystery to me.
And sad to say, their reluctance to part with their creations has resulted in extremely high prices for the very few Hangs that do come on the open market. (There's one 'first gen' model currently listed on EBay with an $8500 USD price tag!) However, rather than acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, their deliberately making it so difficult to get one is driving the price up, they only have this to say:
For years PANArt instruments have been on the market for exorbitant prices and speculation has flourished. We take issue with this situation and our Free Integral Hang is therefore restricted to clients who agree to keep this delicate object from making its way in the popular market.
Insane. But I guess that's to be expected when you're dealing with Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, who apparently believe they have discovered GOD in a piece of metal.
<End of rant>
Anyway, it's still a very nice sounding instrument.
Here's the duo Hang Massive playing their composition Once Again:

^^ I love the sound...unexpectedly.

interesting... I wonder would those guys qualify as hang bangers?

WTH... it's basically a steel drum without the 50-gallon barrel attached, tuned to what sounds like A Phrygian* :-\
[EDIT]Wikipedia has more on it's construction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_(instrument)), and it's actually a little more complicated than that (but not much), incorporating a corresponding bowl for the bottom with an opening to create Helmholtz resonance, and tuned to (more or less) a D Aeolian (Natural Minor), without the 'G'.
Agree though, it's quite a mesmerizing sound.
*
Actually, depending on what you choose for your "root" note (fundamental), the same scale could be A Phrygian, A# Lydian, C Mixolydian, D Aeolian, E Locrian, or F Major... if you're a geek about that sort of thing, that is... :-[

BBC Prog Rock Britannia an Observation in Three Movements (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8De_YroimA)
BBC Prog Rock Britannia an Observation in Three Movements. Feature-length documentary about progressive music and the generation of bands that made it. Follows it's birth, its rise in the UK and US and its decline.
Covers Yes, Genesis, ELP - Emerson Lake & Palmer, Soft Machine, EGG, King Crimson, Procol Harum, Caravan and interviews with Rick Wakeman, Steve Howe, Bill Bruford, Carl Parmer, Mont Campbell, Phil Collins, Pete Sinfield, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Arthur Brown, Robert Wyatt, Gary Brooker, Mike Oldfield, Jonathan Coe, Ian Anderson, Bob Harris
This is about of the only documentary on prog rock I've ever seen that got all the details right, including: which band really originated the genre (The Wilde Flowers) - and what effectively destroyed it (hint: ELP and Genesis post Peter Gabriel).
If you're one of those people who hauls out a pair of headphones and secretly listens to old Moody Blues and Caravan vinyl albums - by yourself - late at night - with all the lights turned off - this documentary is for you.
;D :Thmbsup:
Note: it's probably not a bad idea to download if you're interested. The BBC has been pretty adamant about getting their stuff removed from Youtube - and this copy has been up for about a year now.

Here's an interesting bit of news. Not so much a music video although definitely music related.
From Reason comes this story (http://reason.com/blog/2014/02/01/gibson-commemorate-fed-raid-with-governm):
(Note: if you can sit, without gagging, through the blatant hypocrisy, self-righteousness arrogance, and pompous tone of the government spokesperson's comments in this video, you're doing better than me.)
Gibson Commemorates Fed Raid with Government Series II Les Paul
Meredith Bragg & Anthony L. Fisher|Feb. 1, 2014 11:00 am
Two years after Gibson factories in Tennessee were raided by government agents, the venerable guitar manufacturer has released a special Government Series II Les Paul. As the press release explains:
Great Gibson electric guitars have long been a means of fighting the establishment, so when the powers that be confiscated stocks of tonewoods from the Gibson factory in Nashville—only to return them once there was a resolution and the investigation ended—it was an event worth celebrating. Introducing the Government Series II Les Paul, a striking new guitar from Gibson USA for 2014 that suitably marks this infamous time in Gibson’s history.
...Each Government Series II Les Paul also includes a genuine piece of Gibson USA history in its solid rosewood fingerboard, which is made from wood returned to Gibson by the US government after the resolution.
Reason TV reported on the Gibson case back in 2012. Original text from February 23, 2012 video is below.
"They...come in with weapons, they seized a half-million dollars worth of property, they shut our factory down, and they have not charged us with anything," says Gibson Guitars CEO Henry Juszkiewicz, referring to the August 2011 raid on his Nashville and Memphis factories by agents from the Departments of Homeland Security and Fish & Wildlife.
The feds raided Gibson for using an inappropriate tariff code on wood from India, which is a violation of the anti-trafficking statute known as The Lacey Act. At issue is not whether the wood in question was endangered, but whether the wood was the correct level of thickness and finish before being exported from India. "India is wanting to ensure that raw wood is not exported without some labor content from India," says Juskiewicz.
Andrea Johnson of the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) counters that "it's not up to Gibson to decide which laws...they want to respect." She points out that Gibson had previously been raided under The Lacey Act for imports from Madagascar.
This much is clear: The government has yet to file any charges or allow Gibson a day in court to makes its case, much less retrieve its materials. "This is not about responsible forestry and sustainable wood or illegal logging, this is about a bureaucratic law," argues Juszkiewicz, who testified last year before a congressional hearing convened by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). It is, he says, "a blank check for abuse."
And it was a raid by Homeland Security and the Dept. of Fish & Wildlife??? Over a pile of cut wood? Unreal.

Interesting kickstarter by none other than avant-guitarist Kaki King for an update to the psychedelic "light show" of the 60s - which in turn was a modern riff on the "color organ" concept which dates back to at least the early 1700s.
I don't know what to think about this one. Is it art - or more a gimmick? I'm leaning towards "less art - more gimmick" at this point. But who am I to say?

Just stumbled across this the other day. A Japanese company apparently approached John Entwhistle after The Who toured in 1989 about putting a band together so they could broadcast a performance for their new satellite TV service. He brought along Simon Phillips (drummer for the '89 Who tour), along with Keith Emerson, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Joe Walsh, and did a mini tour of Japan under the name The Best.
Normally I find super groups like this pretty underwhelming but I think they lived up to the name.

Just finished watching the docu-bio flick Twenty Feet from Stardom (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2396566/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) (highly recommended btw) which examines the crucial but often under-credited role of the backup singer.
In the course of the movie, they played this segment from the 1995 tour by the Rolling Stones which included the incomparable Lisa Fischer in an eye opening performance of Gimme Shelter. Lisa kicks into high gear around the 2:25 mark and shows The Stones what fronting a rock vocal is supposed to be about:
Thanks Mick! Why don't you take the rest of the night off and leave Lisa and the boys to handle the rest of the show. :P

French band Nouvelle Vague do great covers of 80's music. I like them a lot, I loved a lot of the originals first time round but the covers are so very different (usually a breath of fresh air, and sometimes I prefer the new version).
Here's a cover of a song I didnt know: Eisbär from the Swiss neue deutsche welle group Grauzone (1980).
Wonderfully clicheed sixties-Bond/French style video
Lyrics are basically:
I want to be a polar bear,
then I wont have to cry [cry out] any more,
Polar bears never have to cry [tears]
Original here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhtxqvAlIpo)

tbh I just 'discovered' him - I dont know do any of his albums have quite that sound. The live one I ordered is a different concert - that vid above was a one-off track with that band. He does seem to use a brass section a lot, but often play just himself + acoustic guitar. Check out his stuff on www.amazon.co.uk - they have previews for some (but not all) of his albums. (They only available as imports in the US.)

Here's one for fans of the more unusual musical instruments - a virtuoso solo performance on fretless piccolo bass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccolo_bass) by Jeff Schmidt.
Most things like this have a tendency to be studies in self-indulgence rather than genuine musical performances. This bass solo is one of those rare instances where soloing on the bass is musically valid. It doesn't get much rarer that that AFAIC. ;) Check it out! :Thmbsup:
-
He had my immediate attention when I saw that his bass was strung upside-down, even though he has a left-handed bass. That tells me he must have learned on a righty before he new better, which also tells me he wanted to play bad enough that he'd rather learn that way than have to wait for proper gear. Sometimes there's magic in that. 8)
I knew a guy who learned how to play drums by mimicking his favorite drummers on MTV (back when they still played music videos 24/7 :-\ ). It was years before he figured out he had the snare drum on the "wrong" side. :Thmbsup:

Huh! :huh: It is weird that his Pedulla bass is a lefty - but the P-Bass style split pickup on it is installed like it would be on a right-handed model with the top half (for the low strings) towards the neck. So that makes me think this isn't a standard lefty bass (see below) he strung backwards - it's actually a custom build. Most interesting...
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I wonder if he started out using TAB notation and just got used to having the strings run that way.
-
I never would have noticed it. When I was playing a P-Bass it was a backwards strung righty. And let me tell you it's a bitch to play that way! It's also a pain to re-learn how to play when you can suddenly position your left hand correctly instead of dodging the pots. :)
Actually even the way he holds his bass makes me think of a lefty playing a regular bass. See how he arches his wrist over the edge of the body? That's just where the knobs would be on a right handed bass. I tried playing that way but, due to my short fingers, I couldn't stop turning the volume up and down by accident.
-
*Agree. It's an unusual playing technique he has. All the classic and correct positioning - but with those reversed strings...
But he is a brilliant player. He demonstrates about 5 different "right-hand" (i.e. plucking hand) techniques during that solo, Great command of harmonics too - although they are easier to get to chime clearly on a piccolo bass. At least they were the few times I got to play one.
However, when it comes to the absolute master of harmonics, that title has to go to jazz guitarist Jody Fisher. That gent can do 16th note chromatic harmonic runs. Anybody that ever played (or tried to play) "false" or "artificial" harmonics knows how hit and miss it can sometimes be. Jody doesn't seem to have any problems on that score. He just does those glissando-y sweeps like he's playing a harp. And he does it so naturally that half the time people don't realize it's harmonics they're hearing rather than fretted notes.
Jody is also a phenomenal instructor. He was a mainstay at the now sadly defunct National Guitar Workshop. I was fortunate to get the chance to sit in on some of his clinics and classes when he was in CT at the workshop.
Here's some examples of what you could expect when Jody was showing you how something worked:
BTW, Jody's guitar is a (Steve) Klein (http://web.tiscali.it/andatta/86-96/kleinpage.htm) in case anybody's wondering "What in the name of all that's holy is he playing???" (Most guitarists do btw. ;D)

See how he arches his wrist over the edge of the body?
-Vurbal
That's actually (supposedly) the more "correct" way to to do it. You see a lot of jazzers play that way. Largely (i suspect) because that "perched and peeking" over the bout was Jaco
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
and Stanley Clark's thing back in the day. Lots of bassists who wanted to play like those two felt that hand position was the key to their unique sound. It wasn't. However, some flat out genius (in Jaco's case) - or in Stanley's case, a hell of a lot of study and practice combined with one of those gorgeous Alembic Series-I basses with active electronics - might have had something to do with it.
Here's Stanley back in his Weather Report days with the scariest tarantula-like hand position imaginable (makes me think of the scene where Shelob was about to pounce on Frodo):
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
definitely creepy...although in later years he toned it down a lot. But he still kept that bend:
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
FWIW, that's a hand position I always found uncomfortable. I generally try to keep my wrist in a fairly straight line with my forearm. Far less worries about cramping or carpal tunnel when you do it that way.
On a string bass you need to arch your hand (and Stanley started on upright) because the strings are arced. On an electric with a fretboard radius between 7.25" and 9.5" you really shouldn't need to bend your wrist much if at all.
Either way, the "best practice" being taught by most bass instructors these last few years is to wear your electric bass up high and drape your hand over the bout. Can't say (having seriously tried it) that it brings much (if anything) to the party. But that's me. And don't even get me started on those effin' "bass ramps" that are all the rage.
And...I better stop here. I could (already did?) go on and on about this stuff. Apologies to all for rambling. :-[

I saw Roy Clark playing a VERY rare 12-string model of the BW's upscale cousin, the Deacon, on a video of his concert in Russia. The dude was AMAZING! He put his own spin on a Russian folk tune and in the process broke prolly 7 of the 12 strings but just pushed them out of the way and kept rippin'. That was the first time I put "Roy Clark" and "awesome guitarist" in the same box, and it wasn't the last.

One of the guitarists in my old group owned it's cousin the Deacon. None of us were in love with the sound of the thing. (It was kinda harsh played through a SuperTwin Reverb.) And it wasn't any more comfortable or balanced than a Strat was. But what the heck - if you like it, go for it!
That said, having personally had a shot at playing both a Deacon and a Klein, the Deacon is to a Klein as KittyHawk is to an SR-71 Blackbird. No comparison in terms of design, construction, finish or materials.
(remember fan frets?
I do. Lowden, Beneteau, and Dingwall have all used them. Dingwall currently makes some unbelievably wonderful basses that use fanned frets. I tried one (the AR5) at a music show. It didn't seem to want effort to adapt to it. I was comfortable after about 5 minutes. I figure a week of real practice would have been all it would take to no longer notice the frets were fanned. On a 5-string it definitely improved the low B string's clarity and intonation without resorting to a 35" scale across all strings like most good sounding "5-vers" do. Lee Sklar agrees (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsJVB2332i8) so I guess I wasn't imagining it.
re: Roy Clark: man was amazing. Totally amazing.
ok...back on topic...here's a great live pairing: Australian blues guitarist Fianna Boyes teamed up with Texas swing steel goddess Cindy Cashdolar performing Fiona's song I Got My Eye on You. I really love the melodic interaction between these two on this song. You can see why Ms. Cashdollar is one of the most respected and sought after sidemen in the business.

One of the guitarists in my old group owned it's cousin the Deacon. None of us were in love with the sound of the thing. (It was kinda harsh played through a SuperTwin Reverb.) And it wasn't any more comfortable or balanced than a Strat was. But what the heck - if you like it, go for it!-40hz
I had my eye on them since seeing ads from the '70s, then in '93 or so had the delicious golden opportunity to actually play one, and was immediately sold. It felt solid and comfortable and played like no other guitar I'd ever tried. The guitar store turned down my credit or else it'd be mine right now, as well as the Mesa Boogie Mark IIc twin I played it through. Amps and guitars should be 'matched', IMO. The only guitars I've ever gotten to sound "right" through a Fender were either a classic Telecaster or a semi-hollow body by Gretsch or Gibson. Never gotten single coils to sound right through a Mesa of any stripe. I know there will be lots of folks disagreeing, but they also forget that Sound (capital 'S') is always subjective. ;)
That said, having personally had a shot at playing both a Deacon and a Klein, the Deacon is to a Klein as KittyHawk is to an SR-71 Blackbird. No comparison in terms of design, construction, finish or materials.
Well, my that is a bit harsh of a comparison, but then again, I've never played a Klein, so I'd never know. Breadwinner/Deacon's were more of a mass-produced thing anyways, whereas the Klein seemed almost like a limited production art piece, so yeah... :-[
-
Well, my that is a bit harsh of a comparison,
-Edvard
Wasn't meant to be harsh. More like me saying it's nice to know that spending a ridiculous amount of money for a built to order guitar like the Klein actually got you something. Whether it was actually worth it is something the potential buyer would need to decide. I personally don't think you'd need to spend anywhere near what a Klein goes for if you're just shopping for superior sound or playability. There are plenty of far less expensive mass produced guitars and basses that will fit the bill. You'll just have to audition several before you find your ideal match.
FWIW I never spent more than $1200 (and that $1200 was only once) for any instrument I've ever owned - although a few in the collection are now supposedly worth considerably more than what I originally paid. I don't really get why. They're the same instrument they were the day I bought them. Just older and a little more shop worn. Like me! ;D

I've been really liking this song lately. (The music video isn't much to see, though.) As a person who doesn't traditionally like the saxophone, I feel it goes a bit crazy toward the end. But other than that, I really, really like it.

Another scary-good bassist by the name of Grant Stinnett (http://www.grantstinnett.com/2010/grant_stinnett.com/free_download.html) out of Cambridge MA.
Here's Grant performing one of his solo compositions called Run of Angels. Fellow bassists might have trouble reconciling his fingering and sound with standard bass tuning. That's because he's using a piccolo string set (on a standard scale LeFay bass) that's tuned C-G-C-G.
This is a studio-live performance. No overdubs, effects or processing other than some light reverb are in use. Grant presented it as a demo of what he's capable of doing (and what an audience can expect) when seeing him perform live.
I like the hints of bluegrass, Shadowfax, Bill Ackerman, and Michael Manring stylings in various places. A very pretty piece of music in that odd jazz-influenced genre the Windham Hill record label made famous.

This one is for Superboy. Alison Moyet (with that lovely contralto of her's) doing Cry Me a River. Ms Moyet comes the closest to Julie London's definitive version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXg6UB9Qk0o) of this classic. Truth be told, I like some of Moyet's phrasing and her less affected delivery (plus the overall band arrangement) just a tiny bit better.
Silky smooth bass and drums plus some excellent piano accompaniment, marred only by that clueless twit who is playing the most un-jazzlike of all guitars, the dreaded Gibson SG! (WTF? Seriously. WTF?)
Alison is just one of the many fine indie musicians soon to disappear from YouTube if Google goes ahead with some of its recently announced plans. >:(

Here's the lovely scene from the movie Once where we get to hear the song Falling Slowly.
Some background: The film is about a Dublin vacuum repairman and street busker (know only as "the guy" in the script) who dreams of putting a demo recording together and making a stab at a music career in London "once" he's ready.
While performing a few of his songs on the street he is approached by a woman (a Czech immigrant worker known only as "the girl" in the script) who annoys him by asking several questions about his songs. When he tells her he's really only a busker, and is actually an appliance repairman, the girl is delighted. She has a broken vacuum cleaner and asks him to repair it. After tugging her canister vacuum across Dublin the next day to his repair shop and getting it fixed she mentions that she is a musician too. When the guy asks if he can hear her play, she explains she's a pianist and doesn't have the money to buy an instrument. But she tells him there's a music store not too far away that lets her play the store instruments from time to time. They set off, him carrying his guitar and she dragging her vacuum cleaner behind her. When they arrive at the music store the following scene takes place as he shows her one of his songs - and to his surprise sees her quickly master it, sparking a near perfect duet...
I particularly enjoyed this because anybody who has ever played music seriously has a similar experience sooner or later. It doesn't even have to be this romantic - and it's usually not. But there are those magic moments when you're playing along with someone else and something suddenly clicks - and real music springs into existence.
It's one of the most gratifying experiences ever. And the thing that absolutely makes all the lonely and frustrating years of study and practice feel like a bargain - the best you ever had. ;)

I didn't even hear about the Frames until 2003 or 2004. My sister invited me on a whim to go to a Damien Rice concert. I didn't particularly love Damien Rice's music, but I'd never been to a concert before, so I went. The Frames opened that evening and I bought their CD and have been a fan of them ever since.
I haven't kept up with Damien Rice. :D It was a pretty good/enjoyable concert, but I definitely enjoyed The Frames more.
BTW, I just looked it up and the band/album the two folks from the video up above have is called The Swell Seasonw. Her name is Markéta Irglová. Again, it's definitely worth checking out.

I've always been into 'home-made' music. That's where the compositions are original, largely improvised, and played on self-built, improvised, or invented instruments.
Over at the Cigar Box Nation website, members are invited to post audio tracks and videos of...whatever. Some are instructional. Many are simple noodling to demonstrate a technique or recently built instrument - and somethimes just a way of saying "Hi!" The quality varies widely, but it's all submitted in the spirit of community. None of that "Who Wants to be a Star" competitive nonsense. It's mostly amateur - and all just for fun. And the CBN community is very supportive - no matter what level of ability and natural talent (or lack thereof) gets shown.
Occasionally however, an original piece comes along that's a significant step up from what normally shows up there. This is A Long Night at the Carnival by a CBN member known only as Turtlehead. It's done with a pair of 3-string cigarbox guitars (one tuned GCE and the other CGC) plus a washtub bass. I think it's a remarkable example of just how good something like this can sound.

A beautiful old song performing a funny sound at time 0:07...0:08:
-
Just found this yesterday. Noel Paul Stookey (the "Paul" in Peter, Paul, and Mary) doing the PP&M take on an old Pete Seeger standard Kisses Sweeter than Wine. Lovely melody (via Lead Belly who took it from an old Irish tune called Drimmen Dow). It tells a bittersweet love story like all good folk tunes do. This performance is from the PP&M 25th Anniversary Concert recorded back in 1986.
You get to see a little bit of just how entertaining PP&M (and especially Paul) used to be back in the day as Paul leads the audience in a little sing-along. The results are amazing as the audience vocals gain an almost orchestral quality by the end of the song.

^^ Classic, man, classic. As much as I appreciate this song, I have to admit my favorite is the first version I ever heard. Shimmy Disc label head and creative whirlwind Kramer, and performance artist Ann Magnuson in their band Bongwater. It's got a cool 'aaaalmost creepy' vibe to it, and the bit of spoken word at the end gives it a neat little twist. All other versions I've heard since this one sound a little too 'sweet' to my tastes, but... well... ignore the video and listen to the tune:

Something for the guitarists out there.
Pat Metheny doing his version of Cherish (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD94tZgPuvc), that big hit for a group called The Association back in the 60s.
This is an interesting arrangement performed on a baritone guitar using what Pat calls a "half-Nashville" tuning. Baritone guitars (for those who don't know) range an octave below a standard guitar. I like to think of them as the "cello" since their range falls between a bass and a standard guitar.
The most common tuning for a baritone is [B E A D F♯ B] or a perfect 4th below a standard guitar. Pat's half-Nashville tuning is a little more complex however. In that system the strings are tuned [A-E-c-g-D-A] which is a perfect 5th below a standard guitar - BUT - with the middle two strings (i.e the c and g) tuned up an octave.
The half-Nashville tuning allows for some very unusual tight and open chordal intervals that wouldn't be possible in ordinary tuning. The overall sound is huge and packs enough bottom end that you can send your bass player off on break when playing one of these puppies. In the hands of a musician of Metheny's calibre it can sometimes sound like there are two players at work rather than one.
But enough jabber from me. Give it a listen:

Y'know, I've followed you so far, even when going deep into prog territory, even when you invoked the infernal name of Windham Hill, but this is the line in the sand. Obviously great musicians, tight as the pocket they're playing in, but... I just can't follow you into Smooth Jazz territory. The best I can match that with is the incredible Wes Montgomery:
It's jazz for sure, and it couldn't get any smoother if you put butter on it, but I can't call it "Smooth Jazz" to save my soul.

Clara Rockmore was the virtuoso of the theremin back in the day:
She would do stuff like play a note quiet enough for only her to hear on the stage, just to get the pitch right, before swelling it to stage volume. Her phrasing and smoothness of fade-ins and fade-outs are just amazing. If you've ever attempted to play a theremin, you'll know that !@#$ is hard...
Now a new Clara has come to claim the antenna:
A bit too trip-hop/space-pop (damn these mongrel genres...) for me, but she obviously knows what she's doing.

That said, I DO like Clara's voice, it's got a certain soul that cuts through the background. I'd like to see her with a few other members, at least keyboard and maybe something else eclectic, like a turntablist to keep those drum loops live.
I don't envy those who have chosen Theremin as their vocation, it's really easy to make god-awful noise, and takes more than it's fair share of skill to make music.

Track of the day for me: Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child (Slight Return), Live Stockholm '69
music only starts @ 0:58 (direct link (http://youtu.be/9irsg1vBmq0?t=58s), cued)
Powerful bass there too; there's a drum solo towards the end - I always have to think of Nick Hornby claiming to have left a Led Zepplin concert during a drum solo for a quick pint and a game of pool in a pub next door - when he came back, the solo was just finishing. I can relate to that approach myself ;-)
-
Love Jimi! It's funny how he says he forgot the words to All Along the Watchtower. :)
In the guitar line of music videos... this is some pretty funky stuff!

Dark, deep, and powerful: Lucy Woodward doing Too Hot to Last backed by Snarky Puppy.
Of interest is the presence of not one - but two baritone guitars (http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/20455-deep-6-a-brief-history-of-the-tragically-underused-electric-baritone-guitar?page=3). They occupy the frequency range that falls roughly between a regular guitar and an electric bass. The 'bari' is an interesting and unique sounding instrument that's really hard to find a good place for in most arrangements. Coupled with a voice like Lucy's and lyrics like these however, the baritone guitar becomes the perfect accompaniment. Check it out! :Thmbsup:
----------------------------
Note: for enthusiasts out there, Mike League is playing an Eastman Sidejack Baritone, and Bob Lanzetti is playing a Danelectro of some sort. I have no idea what the model name is.
This is the sound of the baritone by itself along with a little discussion of why someone may want to use one:

I like the range of that guitar. I've actually found that I enjoy playing simple mid-tempo solos on the piano in that range from middle-c to a couple octaves down. Makes it sound funky.

On baritone guitars:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baritone_guitar
Metal bands started using baritone guitars in the late 1980s, as it became increasingly popular to "down-tune" or "drop-tune". Early examples include Carcass (using B Standard) and Bolt Thrower (Using A Standard on Realms of Chaos). Pat O'Brien of the band Cannibal Corpse has a baritone guitar to allow him to use the tuning G# without experiencing tuning problems because of his use of a Floyd Rose Tremolo.Dylan Carlson of drone metal band Earth played a baritone guitar on Hex (Or Printing in the Infernal Method). Machine Head also uses baritone guitars tuned to Drop B and C# standard (tuned 40 cents sharp). Robb Flynn, singer and guitarist from the band also has a signature Epiphone Baritone Flying V called "Love Death".
FWIW - I will NEVER use a Floyd again. They're just crap. I hate them. Got one now, and still hating it. I just don't like them - they decay like milk on a hot day. F that.
But I never thought about a guitar that way. I just thought of them as they were. (I grew up with different tunings.) I've done down-tunings, but never thought of "baritone". Then there were the 7-string Ibanez guitars too. Take Korn for example. Great stuff. Heavy low strings.
This is a great tune that shows that low thumping:
NSFW or NSFL!!!!
More Korn with that low thump (SFW):
This is a tune that would really have benefited from lower tunings or a 7th string:
I think a lot of metal could really benefit from those low notes more.
For example, can you see Angel of Death dropped a fifth for the main riff and that signature riff?
How much heavier would the heaviest tune of all time be?
And yeah, I like cello more than violin. :)

I like it too even though everybody seems to play it with reverb or delay cranked up to the nines! ;D Not what I'd call subtle...unless you're a Spaghetti Western or hardcore surf music fan. It's extremely easy to overdo it. And the baritone's sound character is distinctive enough that it can easily overwhelm an arrangement. Snarky Puppy compensated by going completely over the top with the low end. It worked for that piece. But you can only do so many songs like that before it starts to get gimmicky. Mr. League walked a fine line and pulled it off. Most players don't have his level of musical training or enough good
taste to take chances like that.
My old band had a baritone in the equipment list. I used it on one song to good effect. Did a delicate octave doubling and some harmonizations on the bass line. The regular guitarist played bass on that song since he couldn't get his head (or hands) around the baritone guitar. Too much culture shock I guess.
Quick note: don't confuse the baritone guitar with the rare six string Bass-VI /Bajo Sexto that Fender sold back in the 60s and early 70s. It looks similar, but it's a totally different sounding and playing instrument.

FWIW Ibanez currently sells an 8-string guitar intended for the Metalheads that can't get low enough with their 7-string grunge planks. Can a 9-string be far behind? ;D
-
Not a fan of more strings than 6 on any guitar, and 4 on the bass. Downtune all you want, just don't pretend you really want to go back up. I think Death Angel and Slayer sounded fine the way they were. Downtuning doesn't automatically mean heavy(er). I've heard some decidedly god-awful CRAP done in drop B, and it would have been crap in E standard too; crap is crap, and gold is gold.
That said, when I get my next guitar actually built sometime in the next 10 years, it's gonna be strung up in C. Just sayin' :P

I'm with you. 6 for a git, 4 for a bass. However, I do own a Spector 5-string bass. (Spector was one of the first 5-strings that actually had enough tension on the low-B string for it to be playable and actually have distinct notes. Many 5-string bass's low-B flops all over the place and mostly sounds like mud.) Currently strung B-E-A-D-G. I'll probably switch it over to a high-C string set (E-A-D-G-C) instead since that low B string isn't all that useful. If I regularly need/want a low open D, I can always put a Hipshot tuner on the E string and be done with it.
That said, when I get my next guitar actually built sometime in the next 10 years, it's gonna be strung up in C. Just sayin' :P
Not Nashville or Methaney Nashville? ;)
The prototype guitar I'm working on right now has 5 strings and is tuned to open G ala Keith Richards. I love it. Now all I need to do is make one with better materials. Still up in the air about electronics although some combination of lipstick, mini humbucker, 'jangle-tron', and P-90 is definitely where it's going.
And what of the piccolo bass? Which one is it gonna be? All these overlapping ranges, a man could go MAD I tell you!
What of it indeed? I like the piccolo bass. Like it a lot more than going up above the 12th fret to get the same notes - but with zero sustain.

Oh...since we're on the subject...don't forget that noble (but mostly forgotten) little gem of an instrument: the tenor guitar (http://www.tenorguitar.com/what.html). Now that's one sweet little box o' strings.
Here's the modern Eastwood version:
But there are dozens of variations on it that go back to the beginning of the last century including some beautiful antique Martins.
Gibson even did an SG version they never released to production. This circa 1964 one-off has got to be among the rarest of rare Gibsons!

Scott Fernandez's 12-string bass seems like it has more in common with a Chapman Stick (http://www.stick.com/) or the sound of a clavichord (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clavichord) than it does with the lute family from which guitars and pizzicato-style basses ostensibly trace their heritage. FWIW I'm starting to find the whole' tap-a-tap' bit is getting kinda old. It's fine as an accent point in a solo - if it fits within the context of the larger piece. (Think parts of Eddie Van Halen's solo in Panama or Somebody Get Me a Doctor for examples of where it does fit.) But a whole song (or show) worth of it? No thanks! It might have been real "rad" at one point. (Like maybe back in the early 80s?) But it's been so overdone after all this time that my ears switch off if neck-tapping goes on too long. And it doesn't matter how "good" it is. I'm tired of it. And I'm not alone.
------------------------------------
Note: about the Chapman Stick and neck tapping in general
Maybe it's just me, but I'm always amazed at how people go ga-ga over a mediocre performance of something on an instrument clearly not designed to do what's being asked of it. To me, it's like the proverbial "singing dog" at a Carnival sideshow. People lay their money down to see it. And they applaud the performance...but...I can't help wondering if they're applauding because they actually liked what they heard...or they were just amazed that a dog could 'sing' anything at all? Kinda like some of these parent-proclaimed "child prodigies" who play a musical instrument. They don't really play all that well. But they do play extremely well for a 5-year old.
IMHO there are far better instruments to play most of what gets played by neck-tapping a guitar or bass. Keyboards, tuned percussion, and harps come most readily to mind.
So can we skip fixating on the party tricks so much and possibly get back to making some fine music again?
Dunno...maybe it's just me...but:

Robert Fripp's New Standard Tuning, maybe.
-Edvard
It's an interesting experiment. And probably worth pursuing if you want to play that "not really jazz" thing Fripp does. :P
FWIW I think Alan Holdsworth does "not jazz" far better. And he uses standard Torres tuning most of the time. 8)
Speaking of which, here's Alan talking about his signature model Carvin:
To be honest, although I admire Alan Holdsworth as a musician and an innovator on guitar, I can't really say I find his sound and music to be all that enjoyable. Interesting perhaps. But not really enjoyable. He's kinda like John Cage, whom I admire more as a theoretician and experimentalist than I do as a composer or performer.

Musician Shows How to Sing Two Notes at Once in Mesmerizing Video
in Music | October 6th, 2014
Anna-Maria Hefele, a musician based in Munich, has an unusual talent. She can sing two notes at once. In the music world, it’s known as polyphonic overtone singing, and it’s believed that the practice originated and still endures in Mongolia. Above, Hefele offers a pretty captivating five-minute display of her technique. On her website, she notes that she offers concerts, lecture performances, and workshops in overtone singing. In fact, there’s a workshop being held later this month near Salzburg, Austria. Find updates on Hefele’s Facebook page. Enjoy!
She's pretty amazing! (She's also rather pretty too. ;) )

Panama cued up to a mind bending solo: http://youtu.be/w-NshzYK9y0?t=2m10s
(I never could nail that solo. Everything else was easy and fun, but the solo? Nah. I could never get it right.)
Somebody Get Me a Doctor cued: http://youtu.be/NkJOZOOXJWk?t=1m10s
It's more obvious in Panama though. Somebody Get Me a Doctor is more subtle.
But, there's a reason why Eddie is venerated as a guitar (demi)god.
Art often involves "infanticide". You kill your babies. You work and work and come up with this uber cool riff/phrase/paragraph/plot line/method/UI/whatever, and then you realise that you have to kill it. Because, well, various reasons. That bit was beautiful, and you loved it - it was your baby... and then you realise that it can't see the light of day in the broader canvas that you'll present to the world.
Salt and cumin are great, but pouring an entire package in your meal doesn't work.

From the page:
the video is live, and every human being is able learn overtone singing ;) ....well...not starting directly with polyphonic overtone singing.... but singing overtones on one fundamental isn't too hard.
I would like to see her do a tutorial on how to do it. Just a very basic one. But everyone can do it? Wow. That's a big claim.

Possibly Kongar-ol Ondar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kongar-ol_Ondar) of Tuva? He's probably the most famous in the Western world. He was featured in the documentary Genghis Blues. And he was touring with Bela Fleck and The Flecktone some years back. Caused quite a sensation at the time. He passed away in 2013 (http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/25/entertainment-us-ondar-death-idUSBRE96O1IQ20130725) at the young age of 51.
Here's Ondar demonstrating to an enthusiastic audience at the Fairfield University Quick Center. After that there's a short introduction of the three separate styles of Tuvan throat singing.
Tuva is an unusual country with a tragic history. Physicist Richard Feynman became fascinated with Tuva and attempted to travel there in 1977. His story about that ultimately fruitless attempt is documented in a book by his travelling companion Richard Leighton entitled: Tuva or Bust!: Richard Feynman's Last Journey (http://www.amazon.com/Tuva-Bust-Richard-Feynmans-Journey/dp/0393320693)
As a stamp-collecting boy always fascinated by remote places, Nobel Prize–winning physicist Richard Feynman was particularly taken by the diamond-shaped stamps from a place called Tannu Tuva deep within Outer Mongolia. He hoped, someday, to travel there.
In 1977, Feynman and his sidekick— fellow drummer and geography enthusiast Ralph Leighton—set out to make arrangements to visit Tuva, doing noble and hilarious battle with Soviet red tape, befriending quite a few Tuvans, and discovering the wonders of Tuvan throat-singing. Their Byzantine attempts to reach Tannu Tuva would span a decade, interrupted by Feynman's appointment to the committee investigating the Challenger disaster, and his tragic struggle with the cancer that finally killed him. Tuva or Bust! chronicles the deepening friendship of two zany, brilliant strategists whose love of the absurd will delight and instruct. It is Richard Feynman's last, best adventure.
There's an excellent CD by Ondar that's well worth a listen. It's called Back Tuva Future (http://www.amazon.com/Back-Tuva-Future-Ondar/dp/B00000GC1U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412682434&sr=8-1&keywords=back+tuva+future).

interesting lyrics there...
Spoiler
I go to bed real early
Everybody thinks it's strange
I get up early in the morning
No matter how disappointed i was
With the day before
It feels new
I don't leave the house much
I don't like being around people
Makes me nervous and weird
I don't like going to shows either
It's better for me to stay home
Some might think it means i hate people
But that's not quite right
I do some stupid things
But my heart's in the right place
And this i know
I got a dog
I take him for a walk
And all the people like to say hello
I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks
I'm learning how to say hello
Without too much trouble
I'm turning out just like my father
Though i swore i never would
Now i can say that i have a love for him
I never really understood
What it must have been like for him
Living inside his head
I feel like he's here with me now
Even though he's dead
It's not all good and it's not all bad
Don't believe everything you read
I'm the only one who knows what it's like
So i though i'd better tell you
Before i leave
So in the end i'd like to say
That i'm a very thankful man
I tried to make the most of my situations
And enjoy what i had
I knew true love and i knew passion
And the difference between the two
And i had some regrets
But if i had to do it all again
Well, it's something i'd like to do

This one is fun. With thanks to the Sploid (http://sploid.gizmodo.com/mayokero-is-the-first-song-of-the-album-acowpella-beatb-1648360666) blog for the find.
Mayokero is the first song of the album Acowpella Beatbox by Israeli artist Roy Kafri. The music video—directed by Vania Heymann, a second year student in Bezalel School of Art and Design—is brilliant. It takes classic album covers and animates them to sing along the song in a completely seamless way.

Electric bass. Though I'd seen them all. Fretted and fretless...4-string...then 5-string...then 6-string...then 8...then 12...
Then along came Mark Sandman of the band Morphine with his unique 2-string slide bass technique. At which point I thought I had heard it all too.

While we're on the 'alternative' trip, how about my hometown folks Hammerbox?
Overlooked as just another 'grunge' band, they really spit out some burners on their major label release. The difference between first and second album's vocals by Carrie Akre are like day and night. Their first 'demo' album had her off-handedly dropping lazy lyricalities over the band's hard buzz, the second --- WHOA!! Bloody raw emotion and soul splattered across every track.
Paramore fans owe somebody a big "thank you".
Speaking of which, Alanis Morrisette fans owe Betsy Martin some props:
Maximum '80s groove there, with what should be the most annoying vocals in the universe, but somehow it works out. This is their only official video, using enlarged photocopies of film footage colored with markers and crayons. It caught the attention of MTv big-time back in the day, but the mainstream music industry quickly lost interest. Their loss. Caterwaul went on to do two more excellent albums of quite listenable stuff (Portent Hue sounds absolutely HUGE).
One of the only bands of this genre and era that interested me as a budding metalhead.

From 1:50 to about 2:00 there is simply orders of magnitude beyond virtuoso. Stunning work. Nobody has ever approached that. Steve Vai is the only contender that I know of.

My daughter is going absolutely bonkers for PLANETS!!!!
At 2 she can list all the planets in the solar system in order, and is constantly wanting more and more.
So, we've downloaded a bunch of slide shows, montages, videos, and music videos about planets, the solar system, space, etc. etc.
Some drive me a bit nuts. (Some kids videos are from India, but the English is pretty mangled and sometimes painful to listen to.)
But, every now and then there are some seriously cool ones. This music video falls into the AWESOME category! :Thmbsup:
It's just so really, very, extremely well done. The choruses are really just extremely cool, and the verses are brilliant.
Tell me if you end up bobbing your head. ;)

Okay, time to get silly ;D ... With MINECRAFT!!
Lots of folks have done some music videos using minecraft as a machinima, though it's kind of hard to find original stuff.

(AKA Creeper Rap):
Take Back the Night (epic child's-revenge-for-murdered-parents-movie themed video):
There are lots of parodies that are basically karaoke tracks with spliced-together screencasts of MC gameplay, but a few stood out as having obviously done by a 3D modeling and animation program. The best two I could find:
Don't Mine At Night (Katy Perry - Friday Night parody)
Revenge (Usher - DJ Got Us Fallin In Love Again parody)

Electric bass. Though I'd seen them all. Fretted and fretless...4-string...then 5-string...then 6-string...then 8...then 12...
Then along came Mark Sandman of the band Morphine with his unique 2-string slide bass technique. At which point I thought I had heard it all too.
But now there's a pedal steel bass dubbed the "Slideking Bass" made by Jackson Steel Guitar Co. (http://jacksonsteelguitar.com/) and played by none other than Zane King.

I know John Paul Jones adapted a pedal steel guitar into a bass many years back. More recently he had Hugh Manson build him a lap steel bass. (http://www.feelnumb.com/2010/07/16/john-paul-jones-custom-lap-steel-bass/)
Of course you could give Jonesy a rubber band and a popsicle stick and he could make it groove.

The funkiness never ends. A current theory on why Jupiter has an electro-magnetic field is that at its core it has super-heated hydrogen that has collapsed into a metallic form with an ordered, crystalline structure, and that metal contributes to the EM field.
Metallic hydrogen. Is that light metal as opposed to heavy metal? Could Yngwie play that?

Hmmm... the reverbed guitar skronk in that song reminds me a bit of Brian Eno's "Skysaw". I can't find a decent video for the song, but it's a damn tight performance, with Percy Jones and Phil Collins nailing down the rhythm section for Eno and John Cale to squawk and noodle over.

Reminds me a bit of an old Jacobian diss on King George called Cam Ye O'er Frae France.
Some background the song
Cam ye o'er frae France is a Scots mocking[1] folk song from the time of the Jacobite Revolution in the 18th century.
Background
After the death of Queen Anne the British crown passed on to George, the Elector of Hanover. In his entourage George I brought with him a number of German courtiers, including his mistress Melusine von der Schulenburg, whom he later created the Duchess of Kendal, - commonly referred to as the Sow and the Goose - and his half-sister Sophia von Kielmansegg. George I's wife Sophia Dorothea of Celle remained in Hanover, imprisoned at Ahlden House after her affair with Philip Christoph von Königsmarck - the blade in the song. Another historic personality in the song is John Erskine, 22nd Earl of Mar, Bobbing John, who recruited in the Scottish Highlands for the Hanoverian cause. The nickname Geordie Whelps is a reference to the House of Welf, the original line of the House of Hanover.[2]
[edit]Lyrics
Cam ye o'er frae France? Cam ye down by Lunnon?
Saw ye Geordie Whelps and his bonny woman?
Were ye at the place ca'd the Kittle Housie?
Saw ye Geordie's grace riding on a goosie?
Geordie, he's a man there is little doubt o't;
He's done a' he can, wha can do without it?
Down there came a blade linkin' like my lordie;
He wad drive a trade at the loom o' Geordie.
Though the claith were bad, blythly may we niffer;
Gin we get a wab, it makes little differ.
We hae tint our plaid, bannet, belt and swordie,
Ha's and mailins braid—but we hae a Geordie!
Jocky's gane to France and Montgomery's lady;
There they'll learn to dance: Madam, are ye ready?
They'll be back belyve belted, brisk and lordly;
Brawly may they thrive to dance a jig wi' Geordie!
Hey for Sandy Don! Hey for Cockolorum!
Hey for Bobbing John and his Highland Quorum!
Mony a sword and lance swings at Highland hurdie;
How they'll skip and dance o'er the bum o' Geordie!
(Repeat first verse)

There's probably a thousand different takes on it, although my favorites are by the incomparable Maddy Prior with the band Steeleye Span. This live video doesn't have the best sound quality. But you really get to see the level of dramatic performance Maddy could bring to a song. She was also into the 'trad' dancing thing long before River Dance hyper-refined it and made it mainstream. In a club setting she'd sing and dance around the entire room all night, alone and with audience members, and never miss a single note or step. Sweet and talented woman! Would there were more performers like her.
BTW, Maddy and the band can still do it! :Thmbsup:
As someone else pointed out, nobody will ever deliver a cutting put-down better than a Scots bard. ;D

Not really music videos, but interviews with the lead singer of my absolute favourite band, bar none, with some really good insightful comments on music if you have the patience to listen.
Great comment here about supporting local live music:
And just for the heck of it, a 1988 news piece:
My absolute #1 favourite song to play on the guitar (when I'm completely plastered drunk) is "Proud to be Canadian". :Thmbsup: (Also the only tune I can play hammered. :P )

If you tried to visit Craigslist late Sunday night, you probably had a very weird experience. Instead of arriving at that sultry sea of classifieds, you were probably sent to DigitalGangster.com.

The Holiday Season usually dredges up memories for me. And lately they've been sad memories about a lot of fine musicians who are no longer with us.
Here's Freddy Mercury and Queen:
"Crazy Little Thing Called Love took me five or ten minutes. I did that on the guitar, which I can't play for nuts, and in one way it was quite a good thing because I was restricted, knowing only a few chords. It's a good discipline because I simply had to write within a small framework. I couldn't work through too many chords and because of that restriction I wrote a good song, I think." - Freddie Mercury
Things like this remind me why it's a good thing I never wanted to be a front man. Or the lead singer. Because I'm not - nor will I ever be.
However, being an occasional backup singer, and the bass player, doesn't seem such a bad thing to me.
In fact, it suits me rather well...
And that's just fine! :Thmbsup: ;D

Ricky Lee Jones doing her own unforgettable take on her classic tune Easy Money, neatly demonstrating that sometimes less is more when it comes to musical performance...
Lyrics
There was a Joe, leanin' on the back door
A couple Jills that had their eyes on a couple bills
Their eyes was stayin', they was waitin' to get
Their hands on some easy money
They flipped a dime, one says
"Well, I'll take heads this time"
One stepped up, one stepped back
One loosened her shoulder strap
She couldn't speak, her knees got weak
She could almost taste that easy money
There was this old black cat
Which was sittin' in a old black Cadillac
And the Joe smelled sweet
So she curls up at her boyfriend's feet
She says "I got a plan, listen, Sam
How'd ya like to make some of that easy money?"
He say, "Yes, oh yes
Jus' tell me what you want me to do"
She said, "Baby, you can trust me, oh baby
But you must be hidin' in my room, quarter to two"
Well, the cat told the boy
"Come up to the room and play with my toy, honey"
But the Jill had set the bait
She wasn't gonna sit around and wait
But this guy was wise to all the lies
And he flies out the door with the easy money
'Cause there ain't no man
Who got the money in his hand
Who got any of that bread
By bein' slow in the head
The easier it looks, the hotter it hooks
There ain't no such thing as easy money
We say, "Yes, oh yes"
Saturday night
There was a terrible, terrible fight
Between two dames
Who was losin' the same game
It wasn't clear but I hear that somebody
Was lookin' for some easy money

Naughty Number Nine - one of the best pieces (and there were many good ones) by Bob Dorough for the Schoolhouse Rock educational cartoon series.

I know what you mean, yet I think the stuff they did was perfect. Perfectly done, perfectly sung, with this dreamlike perfect-world vibe (I know the lyrics were at times about darker things).
And what a voice :-*
-
^Perhaps "schlock" wasn't quite the word I was looking for. Let's call it "sweet" instead... :)
The Carpenters were just a couple of the "local kids" where I grew up. It caught me completely by surprise when doing my post how thinking about Karen's passing still hurts almost as much as it did the day we first learned about it.
On a positive note, her untimely death brought the whole issue of nervous eating disorders into a broader public awareness such that they're now seen (and treated) as the serious psychological and medical problems they actually are, rather than just some "silly hysterical women's thing a good swift kick in the ass would cure."
Sad how so often the price for real social change comes at the cost of a human life.
So it goes...
This was her last recording.
Here's the story behind the song. It's long
In June 1981, Karen and Richard released "Made In America" and made a world tour to promote the album with appearances in Brazil and Germany. In November of that year, she and Richard returned home to California. Karen and her husband Tom Burris formally separated that same month. Shortly after Christmas, Karen moved to New York to begin treatment for her anorexia. She sought treatment with psychotherapist Steven Levenkron who was noted for his research into anorexia nervosa and self injury.
In April 1982, she took a two-week vacation from her treatment and returned home to California. She and Richard returned to the studio and recorded several songs, including this song, "Now.". At the time of this recording, Karen was heavily anorexic. Richard says she had lost even more weight since the last time he had seen her the year before. Karen returned to New York and stayed there until November 1982. During a two-month stay in a hospital, she was fed intravenously and gained 30 pounds. She returned home for Thanksgiving that year. Although she felt that she was cured, Richard says she just didn't look well and he told her so. The additional weight of 30 pounds added back suddenly on a body that had been underweight for so many years further strained her weakened heart, and she died of heart failure on the morning of February 4, 1983. She was just 32 years old, a month shy of her 33rd birthday.
Following Karen's death, Richard returned to the studio and worked on his and Karen's last recordings, including two of the songs she recorded in 1982 as well as other songs from previous recording sessions over the years before. The album, "Voice of the Heart" was released in October 1983, eight months after Karen's death.
"Now" was a work lead, recorded in one take, and was intended to familiarize the musicians with the song as well as Richard's arrangement of it. After a complete music track had been recorded, Karen would have then returned to the studio and recorded new vocals for the song. But as it was, the work lead turned out to be the last song Karen ever recorded.
There's an old legend about the swan's song - how the Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) which is completely mute during its lifetime until the moment just before it dies, is said to sing one beautiful song. Over the years, listeners have commented on the lyrics of the song and knowing what we know now, wonder if perhaps Karen had had a premonition of what was to come. Indeed, "Now" can be said to have been Karen's "swan song."
Now
Now,
Now when it rains, I don't feel cold.
Now that I have your hand to hold,
The winds might blow through me
but I don't care.
There's no harm in thunder if you are there.
And now,
now when we touch, my feelings fly.
Now when I'm smiling, I know why.
You light up my world like the morning sun.
You're so deep within me, we're almost one.
And now all the fears that I had start to fade.
I was always afraid love might forget me,
love might let me down.
Then look who I found.
The winds might blow through me
but I don't care.
There's no harm in thunder if you are there.
And now, now,
now when I wake, there's someone home.
I'll never face the nights alone.
You gave me the courage I need to win,
to open my heart and to let you in.
And I never really knew how, until now,
Until now.
No, I never really knew how,
until now

^Perhaps "schlock" wasn't quite the word I was looking for. Let's call it "sweet" instead... :)-40hz
ouch, I watched a live concert from 1976 (Carpenters - Live in Holland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGZkXJfYUDA)) - that was schlock, painful really most of it :(
But still a fan of most of the studio stuff - the singles anyways, I never had an album by them.

You have to remember the times. If you were a woman in pop music you were The Singer. Period.
Funny thing was, she always thought of herself primarily as a drummer who also sang rather than just as a singer.
Most of her fans never knew she was a phenomenal drummer who was actually recognized and acknowledged by many of the 'name' drummers of her era. But even that wasn't enough to get Karen out from under that microphone and evening gown. A woman drummer? The music industry was having none of it. Except for when they thought it would be "funny" to have her dashing back and forth between drumsets as a novelty number on TV.
And despite the advances made by women in music since the 70s, not all that much has changed in the recording industry.
Sad.

Not much of a video, but still a great song: Icarus written by Ralph Towner and performed by The Paul Winter Consort.
Paul Winter and Ralph Towner have each recorded a dozen or more versions of this classic. I personally think this early recording (below) was the best.
FWIW, Ralph Towner considers this live version to be the definitive recording:
While the audio quality is definitely better, I can't help but feel it's just a little too self-conscious and refined compared to the original. To my mind it's lost some of the spontaneity and improvisatory quality of the first recording. But who am I to argue with the guy who bloody wrote it? ;D

Reminds me of post-apocalyptic Earth where only a small group of people is still alive. One of these groups lives on a beach on Hawaii - they have a party and this song is playing in the background :)

Wow! Talk about an all-star lineup. I'm always impressed how the real pros, who can play anything, know when (and have enough self-confidence) to go with a lean & mean minimalistic arrangement when it serves the song.
But that's what separates the professional musicians from the wannabes. It's all about serving the song. :Thmbsup:

That's funny. I cut my teeth on Motown when I first started learning to play electric bass. To this day I still tend to leave a lot of space in my lines, frame things around a syncopated backbeat, and almost automatically toss in a little funk whenever I play something. A lot of that came from listening to Jamerson. He was one of my big inspirations. His part on Heard It Through the Grapevine was one of the first Motown songs I really analyzed well enough to actually understand what I was hearing. Awesome bass player! Along with Chuck Rainey, Duck Dunn, Bob Babbitt, Wilt Felder, Carol Kaye and all those other greats too numerous to list.
-
The guys who first made me want to play bass were Paul McCartney, John Paul Jones, and Steve Harris, but Jamerson, Dunn, and Tommy Shannon taught me how to get there.
Okay, I can't really play any Steve Harris bass lines, but my fingers aren't built to glide across the strings like that. A guitarist friend of mine refers to them as hammers.
-
^In my case, the chief inspirations in my formative years were: Paul McCartney, Jonathan Lodge, Andy Kulburg, Greg Lake, and Dave Paton. I'm pretty much UK inspired with the exception of Andy Kulberg. Hmm...roots in Motown but heavily influenced by that melodic UK vibe. No wonder I don't sound like anybody else according to people I've played with. I don't know what I am!!!! ;D

-40hz
Yet another interesting coincidence. Once I hit my late teens, and started really expanding my musical palette, that UK sound was a huge influence on me too. I feel like the Brits had some real advantages for a couple reasons. The first is the regional folk music, which provided both the melodic element you mentioned, but also made their compositions less formulaic and pattern oriented.
Once the blues really exploded in London, there was an influx of jazz drummers and bassists recruited to provide the foundation for people like Eric Clapton and Peter Green. Add in the formally trained classical and jazz talent in the recording studios, both among the producers and session musicians, and you have a sort of perfect musical storm to produce a wide array of sounds.
I guess I technically discovered Greg Lake when a prog rock nut friend of mine gave me a copy of pictures at an exhibition. He seems to get dismissed as a bassist by a lot of prog rock fanboys because he's less about technical virtuosity than sitting back in the pocket. For me, of course, that's part of his appeal. What's even cooler, though, is how he throws in all kinds of harmonies you wouldn't expect, but he can still bring the funk.
What really changed my playing was when I picked up a stack of old Jethro Tull albums at a second hand record shop and discovered Glen Cornick. His bass lines from Stand Up, Benefit, and Living In The Past created the blueprint for their future arrangements, long after he was fired. Their version of Bach's Bouree is like a master class in how to glue a song together on bass. He starts out right up front, harmonizing with the flute, then slides back between the drums and guitar before throwing down a brilliant solo without a single wasted note, and then leads the whole band back in for the big finish.
What's really cool to me is how he integrates the low harmonies from the Bach original in the walking lines at the beginning and end. Even the first part of the solo evokes a baroque feel without ever losing that amazing groove.

For me it was hearing his bass line on From the Beginning on the Trilogy album. That was my "What the heck is that???" moment. It was...OMG...utterly melodic! That bass didn't only sound smooth and clear and beautiful - it could also hold its own balanced up against the tonal purity of a Moog using the awesome 'Cosmic Wow' patch!
Then I read his interview (http://ladiesofthelake.com/cabinet/GuitarP.html) in Guitar Player and discovered he was using something called Rotosound Swing Bass strings on a really oddball (for the time) bass made by Gibson called The Ripper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Ripper) (or more prosaically the L9-S).
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I immediately switched to Rotosound strings on my Fender Jazz bass, and saved up as quickly as possible to buy a Ripper about a year later - which I still have and use as my main instrument to this day. It now sports nickel roundwounds from DR since D'Addario no longer makes the copper-wound strings I preferred to put on it. (They have recently introduced copper-coated strings called XL Reds - but they don't produce the same warm sound, or have the same buttery feel as their original wound 'Reds.' To me, that coating is mostly cosmetic.)
But that's me... ;)

Not sure if this has been posted.
I love this video. I generally scoff at these star studded tribute lineups. but this one turned out pretty perfect. Tom Petty's no nonsense leadership, jeff Lynne's shockingly beautiful vocals, Winwood being very tasty as usual, and the perfect Prince setup where he comes out of the shadows. Supposedly, harrison's son specifically asked for Prince...and he claims to have heard the song for the first time that day (hard to believe, but he DOES live in a bubble). Look at Dhani Harrison's face when Prince comes in, he is ecstatic. And whoever the tamborine guy is, he is making every second of that count (i would, too!). I LOVE how Petty gives Prince "permission" to go off on the extended solo, lol.
This video also keeps reminding me how brilliant Prince is when it comes to rock guitar gods. This comment on the youtube is perfect:
This shows why Prince could never be a part of a band. He doesn't ruin it, but he does take over a but. he's almost too talented for anyone to really embrace him. People like their guitarists to hang back a bit. Brilliant though. Even if he's never mentioned among the best, he really is and we all know it.
-
@SB - Agree 100% with you on your assessment of superstar lineups and the quality of this number being an exception to the normally disappointing results most of those get-togethers produce. I don't really think Prince took over the performance as the person quoted suggests. Prince was tapped for the "show solo" and did what is expected when that role is handed to you. No more. No less. I found his performance nicely played and respectful to both the song and the rest of the ensemble. I'm not much of a Prince fan...but credit where credit is due. :Thmbsup:
The following is from another mega-rockstar tribute lineup that played for The Concert for George back in 2002. Pretty much anybody who was anybody in that genre (and still alive) was there onstage that night.
Here is Samantha (Sam) Brown performing Horse to Water. She reminds me a little of a beagle we used to own. We could never figure out how such a small body could pack so much raw vocal power.
Really nice sax work, piano playing, and some superb backup vocals on this one.
Sam's father (musician Joe Brown) closed the concert with I'll See You in My Dreams which is also worth a watch:
Just goes to show that even a corny old love song like this one (written in 1924!) can still charm the heart and ear if done well. :Thmbsup:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*Note: there is an unspoken but very real thing called "gig etiquette" that governs how (most) professionals conduct themselves when performing as a guest - or hosting non-band members - at performances such as these. The exact details of 'the rules' varies by genre of music (i.e. blues, rock, jazz) and venue (i.e. stage vs studio). Suffice to say, Prince's performance and stage manner was in perfect keeping with rock stage etiquette. But being the perfectionist in all things Prince supposedly is, I'm hardly surprised.

Exactly. Harrison did ask for Prince. And Prince asked him how he wanted him to play it. And Dhani said the perfect tribute would be if you just do what you normally do- over the top and everything. And he did.
Another interesting anecdote... he didn't practice the solo with the band. He came in, they had a talk about it, and the length, and from there, they improvised it.
A lot of people don't realize what a talented musician Prince is in general, and on the guitar for this specific instance. His ... uniqueness sometimes outshines his genius. I think this showed a glimpse of that genius.

This. So much this. He's such a perfectionist that he played nearly all the instruments on his first five recordings. (ref bio on Rolling Stone (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/prince/biography))
He might be strange and eccentric (and I definitely don't agree with his draconian attitude towards his music with fans)... but he's good enough to pull it off.
Also @40 I never caught until you were talking about etiquette he keeps looking over to Tom Petty who keeps telling him to go.
... and that fall off the stage!

Perhaps interesting for some:

I saw that at a bar during a layover in KL. I wasn't sure if it was some kind of retro or old song that I missed or whether it was new. I only listen to news radio in the car, and we don't have a TV. For some reason it reminded me of something from a long time ago. My first thought was "Baby Got Back" for visuals, but not sure.

Had the same reaction. It's not even really a song. It's more like what you'd call an extended riff in my book. It reminded me of an old clunker from back in the bad ol' 80s (which was pretty much an Ice Age for pop music) called I`m Too Sexy. It was...uh...performed?... by a rather odd saccharin skinhead duo called 'Right Said Fred.'
I could never decide if they were just another not-very-good 80s group - or if they were some elaborate "in" crowd put-down on the whole MTV/music video thing.

Don't know. Whenever I try to listen to one, it all goes in one ear and straight out the other, leaving me hungry for some music to listen to. :P
Besides, people who play 'dance music' aren't doing it to actually listen to a band. They're doing it to dance. Either on the club's dance floor - or in their heads. Dance music and club mixes are primarily kinaesthetic rather than auditory sensory experiences. That's why they blast it they way they do. Like the lyric (singular) says: "<Boom-BOOM!> FEEL THE BEAT!." It's "all about that bass, 'bout that bass - no treble." ;)
But I don't dance much - or willingly. So I guess it's yet another one of those "different strokes for different folks" things. ;D

@SB - I'm not quite as over the top about it as Stephen Fry is, although I suspect his tongue is very firmly planted it his cheek for most of it.
But I do not like to dance even though it runs in the family on both sides. My dad was an excellent dancer as was my mother. My two sisters are phenomenal dancers. I have a cousin who danced ballet professionally with the Joffrey and the ABT ballet companies among others. She and her husband (also a dancer) taught ballet out of her own private school for several years after she retired from performing. And my youngest niece is enrolled in a very serious dance program at the ripe old age of six. She just did her first Nutcracker performance (taking on two minor roles) last holiday season. And she wants to do it professionally as well. If so, she's definitely born into the right family. She'll get all the support and encouragement she needs if she pursues it.
Oh...and my GF absolutely loves to dance. Something she does extremely well too. That fact that I do what little dancing I do (mostly slow waltzes) is purely to please her. Fortunately there are always enough guys who do want to dance with her that I can usually sit back a weddings or other occasions and seem quite generous whenever someone asks "Do you mind?" ... to which I always reply: "Why not ask her if it's ok with her rather than me?"
Also, unlike Mr. Frye, I do like watching good dance performance: Ballet, modern, Broadway-type musical dance numbers, Balinese temple dance, hula, some avant-garde and/or experimental (such as MOMIX or Pilobolus), Irish and contemporary Acadian step-dancing (similar in many ways to the better known Irish variety but looser, sexier and not as stiff - see some glimpses of it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB7HX2OWXCU) - watch the beginning and then fast-forward to about the 5:40 mark), and pretty much anything else that shows talent and looks good.

I personally like dancing, I just suck. I used to be quite good at it, even traditional type stuff...but I had a late, extreme growth spurt, and the lankiness was difficult to deal with. I'm athletic and coordinate, I just didn't care after that. One day, i might get back into. Can't be good at everything!! Wait...i totally forgot...I did do about a year of ballet 2 years ago! It was fun and actually very freaking hard...I think all the girls in there were stronger than me. But the few times I got in the groove a bit, it felt like dribbling/footwork of basketball.
Ok...now I have to look up like 7 things from your post. Coffee is brewing...

Agreed. I'm not a fan of rap or hip-hop in general. That said, I'm occasionally OK with things that are close to it if mixed well with something else I enjoy. Though, to the best of my memory, "Back It Up" is the only song that has anything close to hip-hop on that album. (Though I've been told I have a poor idea of what exactly constitutes hip-hop.)

With a talent like his, why does the US even put up with a Justin Bieber and consorts? This is awesome and I don't even like his style of music (too close to country for my taste). He reminds me a bit of John Denver (my mother did like his music).

* by Joe Cocker (I'll have to remember to add searchable text to video posts)
I bought that album since (Mad Dogs & Englishmen) and it's great - a real party-piece - and now that I look at the videos I see that they saw it that way too, but kept making great music. Note that some videos may be a wee bit NSFW but nothing too dodgy I dont think (didnt check everything).
in fact I'm struggling to choose which track to post :)
Try
Honkey Tonk Women (musical intro to 1:21 or so):
which sounds a lot better on YT ripped from vinyl (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-cVD8H-zJU) - now you just need to sync the two :D
I couldnt really choose though, so, another couple of gems:
Feeling Alright (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrvdzdiyTkw),
The Letter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CKsfb0WEQk),
Sticks and Stones (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv25o_zzqrE)

from Harrison and McCartney respectively:

Hey! I am not sure if any of you guys are familiar with the Demoscene, they make some wicked cool stuff if you're into the whole abstract graphics aesthetic. These are just some random ones I grabbed off of Pouet or remembered off the top of my head:
Is That a Demo in Your Pocket? (https://vimeo.com/133830099), a Game Boy Demo
Backscatter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhSMjADutYw), a more modern 40k (meaning the executable is 40kilobyte or less) demo
Batman Forever (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJosZfm560Q), a Armstrad CPC demo.
8088mph (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHXx3orN35Y), a demo running on a IBM 5150 PC.
While some of these aren't big in the demoscene , they show off the variety in my opinion while also showing some common traits. I love the aesthetic so much that I convinced my brother to help me produce this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnSHr8yy_eg) last christmas. Even if some of what you see might not look that impressive, thinking about the limitations of hardware or resources really makes me sit there with a sense of awe thinking about the weird stuff they had to pull off to do some of this stuff.
-
Backscatter is impressive. Thanks !

I convinced my brother to help me produce this last christmas.

I just found this video this morning. When I first started going to concerts it was mainly to see Ten Years After. Back then the albums put out by the group tended to be 2 to 3 minute studio versions of the songs. So when you said you liked Ten Years After people who heard those tunes on the radio thought you were stupid.
But Alvin Lee worked the same perfomance live for years and perfected it. When he got the energy from the crowd he got into it(as shown by the Woodstock version of "I'm Goin' Home" a tune he used to end their concerts.)
Anyway, this is one of the better renditions I have seen of Cryin'
-
the Woodstock version of "I'm Goin' Home"
The crying video above doesn't do it for me, but I'm Going Home is a great song and a very cool performance i've watched many times.

It is more fun watching the vids if you were at the shows. There was one "official bootleg" album of a concert maybe in Germany or someplace, that did the shows justice. Same routine as Alvin Lee always did. It gave a good idea of a typical TYA concert in the late 60s, early 70s. As an aside, I saw Ten Years After at Clark University in Worcester, MA. Opening for TYA was a solo guitar act. This dude just sat on a chair with an acoustic guitar, a couple of microphones, and started singing stuff like "Fire and Rain." Yeah, it was James Taylor touring for his first album.

Many people saw Alvin Lee play for the first time in the Woodstock film. As I say, he fed off the energy of the crowd. Tough to get a larger more energetic crowd than Woodstock. It has a jading effect. I must have seen him play I'm Goin' Home live 10 times at various venues. Nothing came close to the Woodstock version. Plus the split screen camera work. I am surprised his head didn't explode from all those people glued to his every lick. :)
He wasn't really as good a guitarist as he was a showman. He did variations on the same bundle of licks because he could play them the fastest. He did essentially the same show for years. He tweaked it over time and knew how to get the crowd going. Always a fun show if not a virtuoso performance. That's why buying the studio albums of TYA is close to a waste of money.

Enigma does some similar stuff. I first heard them on that IBM commercial with the Native American chanting. I think the title is "return to innocence."
The hit on the Delerium album was Firefly.
I like stuff that has chanting or Gregorian Chant. I found a "shaman healing chant" the other day. It is like an hour long. Incredibly subtle harmonies from the background singers. Plus that hypnotic flute. Really cool.

This for the prog fans out there. One of Tull's best performances - the 1984 Capitol Theatre concert...(I was there and totally blown away!)
Ian, Dave, Martin & Co. were all at the height of their powers for that show. Minimum stage antics and maximum music. The way rock concerts were meant to be.
-
^ Man, thanks for that! Haven't watched the whole thing (have to get to bed), but what I did watch was pretty killer.
On a side note, I felt really old today when I told someone "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice." Then said "Rush!". And they had this blank look on. Sigh.

I just had a look at their discography and must say I was surprised. The only Jethro Tull (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jethro_Tull_%28band%29) records I listened to were Aqualung / Thick as a Brick / Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die! / Songs from the Wood. I knew they released more - I didn't really like all of it - but I didn't know they made this many records:
This Was (1968) Stand Up (1969) Benefit (1970) Aqualung (1971) Thick as a Brick (1972) A Passion Play (1973) War Child (1974) Minstrel in the Gallery (1975) Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die! (1976) Songs from the Wood (1977) Heavy Horses (1978) Stormwatch (1979) A (1980) The Broadsword and the Beast (1982) Under Wraps (1984) Crest of a Knave (1987) Rock Island (1989) Catfish Rising (1991) Roots to Branches (1995) J-Tull Dot Com (1999) The Jethro Tull Christmas Album (2003)-Jethro Tull discography, studio albums

Another blast from the past, Seatrain - short lived bluegrass/blues influenced rock group from the early 70's with a big name lineup.
What I admired most about this group was bassist Andy Kulberg. One of the more unique players out there. Andy had the uncanny ability to not only hold the groove but also add a jazzy almost scat-singing vibe to his basslines that was unheard of for the times.
Bass connoisseurs will also note he plays a Rickenbacker 4001 - the bass made famous by Chris Squire and Yes. Chris Squire opted for a clangy trebly tone that defined a lot of the established "prog rock bass style" of which volumes can and have been written. That one particular Chris Squire sound is what most people think of when they think "Rickenbacker." But what a lot of people don't know is that even though the "Ric" is best known for it's growl and snarl, it also has the ability to purr, as Andy demonstrates in 13 Questions with Seatrain.
Check it out!

I highly recommend Lexx. The "first season" is really 4 made for TV movies. I watched the first one, I Worship His Shadow, again yesterday. The series is a Canadian/German collaboration. It is some of the funniest most cynical TV you will see anywhere anytime. Not to give any surprises away, but "His Divine Shadow": is a man sort of like The Pope except he is all powerful and ruler of every citizen in a league of 20,000 planets. I don't want to say anymore because you should just experience it. There are 4 seasons in all.

An online friend has various playlists running in the background comprised of songs I'd forgotten and songs that have been remixed, (the remixed Bob Marley one above for example). A lot were from genres I normally wouldn't look at but the remixed versions were more to my taste.
So I started identifying the ones they were playing and adding them to my list, in the process I wandered from remixes into mashups and found that one.
Glad you enjoyed it :)

In the meantime, Let There Be Rock! (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x15pjj_ac-dc-let-there-be-rock-church-vide_music) (The original video isn't on YouTube, and Bon Scott at the pulpit is just classic.)-Renegade
There was a better quality VHS rip at DailyMotion, you can view it via here: The Best Rock and Metal Videos (http://www.rockandmetalvideos.com/acdc-let-there-be-rock/)
Yeah... I was looking for it earlier, and realized that it's not there. The guy that did that video has some pretty cool stuff though... https://hearthis.at/djschmolli/-wraith808
DJ Schmolli only does the mashup audio AFAIK, others put video to them - as in the Rambo one above.

I'm generally not a big fan of "costume bands" or heavy vocal processing. But Steam Powered Giraffe (a steampunk influenced group - surprise!) actually makes it work in an enjoyable and listenable dark cabaret/music hall sort of way. Fun group with some of the better multipart harmonies out there. Or so I think. Here's two by them: Hold Me and Brass Goggles. Check it out:

Bad quality... but Chuck Berry and John Lennon on Johnny B Good
Warning... Yoko is on stage...

^ Dammit... That is one bloody great classic! :D
I remember learning the original version and then the Judas Priest version.
They all rock.
But there's a very different "feeling" when you play them. The JP version totally feels heavier right from the start.

You don't get to have good music and not get a message with it. There's a reason why shitty music is shitty. It is meaningless drivel. Good music not only has the beat to sway you, but also has the message to touch you.
Pink Floyd - The Wall: Massive message. Was it not obvious? An entire album. If you missed the message in The Wall, please punch yourself in the face. You deserve it. :P
We could list those musical messages from here until eternity.

Blind Faith-MilesAhead
especially enjoying this one (as I write -- they both before my time, knew the names but hadnt heard either of them).
EDIT// here's another great version (eletrical) of the great "Can't Find My Way Home", needs a bit of volume if possible :-)
Blind Faith - Can't Find My Way Home (Unreleased Electric Version - 1969 Stereo) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX6PSpE2xLY)
-
@Tom glad you enjoy BF. Way home was my favorite track also. Sea of Joy coming in second. I had the Gold CD of this album. The gold was a bit of a marketing gimmick. But they did master them better. Sp the sound was genuinely improved. I saw Traffic live at UMass Amhearst one time. It was a wild evening. We did get in for free but nobody warned us that this was accomplished by people pushing the crowd into the storm fences. It took all my strength to keep my feet. Otherwise I would have been trampled. They had a couple of ambulances standing by. I guess this was a regular weekend event at the school.
Also on the program was impressionist David Frye who was famous for his deadly impression of then President Lyndon Johnson. Strange night. Luckily none of us sustained injuries. :)

Traffic? Blind Faith? Awesome!

Sort of getting into the guitar solo thing :p only kidding -- it's not my first port of call -- but I did [start to] grow up in the 70's so heard a fair bit... Not so much a fan of 'Mayall et. al.', but like a lot of what I've heard from Cream:

I like the MayAll blues guitar stuff. But his harmonica work is better. Of course for all time guitar nobody tops Hendrix in my book. Aside from the fuzz box and wah wah pedal stuff he had this poly-rhythmic thing going where he would accompany himself on the solos, live. I don't think necessarily a lead guitar solo has to be fast or wild. A lot of my friends were not impressed with the Traffic Low Spark guitar work. But I liked it. It was like the individual bent notes were funky even though not played in a bunch.
B.B. King was another style. Even though what he played was not technically difficult, he had such a feeling to it that it captured your attention. Made the guitar talk as they say. But Eric Clapton is definitely not boiled spinach either. :)

Interesting Israeli band by the name of Project RnL. Sounds like early prog rock meets Frank Zappa - when Frank's not being a jerk. Refreshingly different from most of what's out there. Frighteningly technical bass player (Or Lubianiker rockin' his Mayones bass) in their lineup if nothing else. (Lordy Lordy!)
Too soon to tell if I really like them yet. Exceptionally polished, as any good prog rock ensemble should be. But as of right now, I can't decide if they're as musically clever as they seem - or merely contrived. But I'm gonna keep an eye on them for sure.

Ah! The lovely (in every way) Ms. LaVelle. My favorite elf-maiden. I always liked her best when performing with Loreena McKennitt. Loreena always seemed to keep things in check and prevent things from spilling over into the usual New Age excesses.
Speaking of which...I posted this vid in another thread for totally different reasons. But this short (56 or so mins) docu-film on Loreena McKennitt is interesting enough from a purely musical perspective that I think it may not be inappropriate to post it here as well. There's some stellar performance pieces in it. Hardly surprising considering the musicians she records and tours with are all world class, as Ms McKennitt herself is.

Very nice. I'm not big on prog-rock (Rush, Yes, and ELO just about encompass all I care about the genre, to be honest) but this was enjoyable. The keyboard guy obviously enjoys his role very much, and has the chops to back it up. The only thing that bugged me was though the vocalist was very good, I kept getting the feeling that he was 'holding back'... that there's much more power to his voice than he lets through, as though he doesn't want to overpower the other musicians, when in fact a little more chutzpah with the pipes would have fit right in. Just my 0.02, bravos all 'round otherwise.
Speaking of keyboards, it seems that most groups in my chosen favorite genre (metal) have relegated the keyboard to special effects, washy intros, or gated into offshoot genres like 'Prog-metal' or 'Industrial'. It would be refreshing to see a rippin' ivory tickler up there with the buzz and rumble.
So far, I haven't seen much of that, so here's my favorite blast from the past:
I hated it when my friends would say they sounded like Deep Purple, though I admit it's kinda inevitable given the sound they were after (and they even riffed the theme on the slipcover of one of their albums, reprinting magazine article headlines comparing the two). I've always preferred the Heep for some reason, though I couldn't put my finger on exactly why; I just liked 'em.
Their first five albums are classics in my mind, the rest going from 'slow clap while rocking out' to 'escuse me, wut r u doin?' territory, so I can't recommend much beyond that.

He does seem to be an extremely powerful vocalist with something over a four+ octave range. And I think he does keep it all somewhat in check because of that.
They have a bunch of vids up on YT. Some tunes as good or arguably better than the above. A few less so.
I still haven't decided if I really do like them, but I'm definitely gonna be keeping them on my radar for the time being. Their bass player interests me enough to watch them for just that alone. And the keys player is definitely capable and fun to watch since he does seem to be enjoying himself so much. That's something you can't say that about most keyboard players these days. Most of them look like they just smelled something funny whenever you look at them.

The brilliant Joan Armatrading. A woman who packs more soul and musical taste into a single note - and more meaning into a single verse - than some smusician songwriters do in their entire career. IMO she's one of the finest things out of the UK to ever hit vinyl or the stage performing Love and Affection. This recent one live in Glastonbury
And here's the orignal studio version from 1976 that put her on the radar. I think it's interesting how the passing years added depth to this simple but lovely song.
Lyrics
Joan Armatrading - Love And Affection 1976
I am not in love
But I'm open to persuasion
East or West
Where's the best
For romancing
With a friend
I can smile
But with a lover
I could hold my head back
I could really laugh
Really laugh
Thank you
You took me dancing
'Cross the floor
Cheek to cheek
But with a lover
I could really move
Really move
I could really dance
Really dance
Really dance
Really dance
I could really move
Really move
Really move
Really move
Now if I can feel the sun
In my eyes
And the rain on my face
Why can't I
Feel love
I can really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Love love love love
Love love love love
Now I got all
The friends that I want
I may need more
But I shall just stick to those
That I have got
With friends I still feel
So insecure
Little darling I believe you could
Help me a lot
Just take my hand
And lead me where you will
No conversation
No wave goodnight
Just make love
With affection
Sing me another love song
But this time
With a little dedication
Sing it, sing it
You know that's what I like
Once more with feeling
Give me love
Give me love
Give me love
Love
(Instrumental)
Make love with affection
Sing me another love song
But this time
With a little dedication
Sing it, sing it
You know that's what I like
With affection
Sing me another love song
But this time
With a little dedication
Sing it, sing it
You know that's what I like
With affection
With a little dedication
Once more with feeling
You know that's what I like

Brings back memories. A long-hair hippie-type band I was in going by the name of Babble-On (Har-har! Get it? God, we thought we were soool freekin' cooool!) spent about half a year getting 20th Century Schizoid Man down note for note. That was considered as badass a song as badass got back then. We used to do that number immediately before The End by the Doors - which is how we usually wrapped up our show. (Talk about a pretentious little bunch of jerks huh? Gotta love the late 60s and early 70s. Not. ;D)
We were a fairly bad attitude bunch of young-uns back then.

Cool. My two best buds in high school turned me onto The Doors. All I had heard was some stuff on the radio like Light My Fire and People Are Strange. They hipped me to the stuff they didn't play on Top 40. I did see The Doors with Jim one time in Boston with my two friends. We picked the wrong show since it was tough to get out of town out to the burbs by public transit. We came out the door at the end of the first show and the entire square was packed with people waiting to get in for the second. I think Jim was saving his voice since he had to do it back to back. But it was a few laughs with him teasing the groupies and it was cool to hear the tunes live.
I think the musicians I never got to see play live that rankled the most were Hendrix, Miles, Trane. Sonny Rollins played an outdoor concert in Fort Lauderdale(the one sponsored by Kenny Rodgers when he had the chain of chicken restaurants) and I didn't catch it. When he passes away he'll likely be added to the short list. I did get to see Jackie McLean there though. Quite amazing in person. There was this drummer in the band who must have been on supplements or something. When the band wanted to chill for a few minutes Jackie would just point to him and the guy would do another psychotic 20 minute solo. :)
Anyway, I never sang in a band. Just in the shower. Although I did pop off with a medley of Elvis tunes one time in a restaurant after a few brews. The patrons enjoyed it. A long long time ago. :)

Ed (aka 40hz) once again showing some Puppy love. This one a bit of a departure from the usual avant-jazz-world thing Snarky Puppy usually does.

That's a great album! One of my favs by Loreena.
Which puts me in mind of this video. There's many of versions of To Drive the Cold Winter Away - many of which are a little over the top. Even Loreena beams out that high note enough you need to watch your levels if you're wearing headphones... and you value your eardrums. But this solo voice with lute rendition by Jim Keyes hits what I think is an authentic and rather sweet spot. Done nicely with no pretensions to virtuosity or art, I think it captures the spirit and simplicity of the song beautifully, even if it is a very abbreviated version with some modernization of the original lyrics.

There's many of versions of To Drive the Cold Winter Away - many of which are a little over the top. Even Loreena beams out that high note enough you need to watch your levels if you're wearing headphones... and you value your eardrums. But this solo voice with lute rendition by Jim Keyes hits what I think is an authentic and rather sweet spot. Done nicely with no pretensions to virtuosity or art, I think it captures the spirit and simplicity of the song beautifully, even if it is a very abbreviated version with some modernization of the original lyrics.

enjoyed very much :up:
for contrast (for those who dont know what we're on about) here's the version from Loreena McKennitt (from a playlist with most or all of the album To Drive the Cold Winter Away):

I'm not a hifi guy, but it really needs a quiet space, and something better than laptop speakers would be nice :-)
There's something almost formal about that album from Loreena, some of the songs are quite old I'd guess. I love it myself

Kiki Dee has always done alright by herself, but it took Elton John to make her famous to the masses (Don't Go Breaking My Heart). Her friendship with Carmelo Luggeri has made her take another Walk Of Faith and play this different (traditional) style of music, compared to her younger (jazzy) days.

Snarky Puppy strikes again! This time with Becca Stevens (http://www.beccastevens.com/) - who almost strikes me as a more sophisticated Annie Clark (of St. Vincent) with just a hint less "weirdness for weirdness sake" in her musicianship. Cool band. And teamed with the Puppy it's even better IMO:
Some fun instrument choices as well. Give it a listen.
Also this - some of Snarky Puppy's lineup, not performing as Snarky Puppy, but as a trio with strings. Great jazz number by Bill Laurance:

I love the Beethoven piano sonatas and also Kempff -- actually heard him perform Beethoven over 50 years ago -- but this particular performance doesn't do all that much for me.
Try this one by Grigory Sokolov, one of the greatest - and quirkiest - pianists performing today.
-
^ That one's very different isn't it -- much more staccato. After having listened to the Kempff performance a lot, I had to listen to this a couple of times to adjust.
It really is wonderful, thanks for the tip!

Adam Nussbaum played at a free concert at MDC Wednesday. I don't know the technical drumming term for his style. But he plays many different off beat rhythms mixed together. The solos were shorter and more varied than expected. The composition of his he played that I liked most was "Hey Pretty Baby." He said it was inspired by the old time blues men. A funky bass line with vamping by the other players. Not your basic walking blues. It sounded quite original.
(http://www.mdc.edu/main/images/adam-nussbaum-large_tcm6-100206.jpg) (http://www.mdc.edu/main/jazzatwolfsonpresents/performances/2016/adam-nussbaum.aspx)
Edit: I am not a musician so terms may be defined differently by people who know what they are talking about. Kind of like the automobile side view mirror thing. You get an idea what I mean but it is probably distorted. :)
-
@Miles - you are so right about Nussbaum. One of my all time favorite drummers. I don't really know what his style would be called either. It's a polyrhythmic sort of thing like you'd hear in the Thelonius Monk Quartet and some of those other old bebop bands. One thing that's interesting to me is how his phrasing is more like a horn player's than your average drummer.
-
Last night my daughter was watching The Daily Show on Hulu and they had a musical act called The Suffers on. They looked like an old school funk show band, which I love. Then they started playing, and it was even better than that. They're actually the most authentically awesome old school soul band I've seen in... well ever really. In fact, I would put Kam Franklin up against any soul singer from any era.
Then there's this one from last year.

In fact he led off with Monk's Played Twice. I enjoy the Jazz concerts they do at MDC here especially because they are usually about 70 minutes long. I don't feel like I am sitting in the seat too long. I like to get there 1/2 hour early as it is so that I can sit on the end of the row that has a nice spot to park my suitcase. No worries about it getting in the way. But back to the rhythms, they were "getting in my body" as Miles used to say. It was almost work because I had two wrists and one foot going to different rhythms. I definitely felt involved in the experience. :Thmbsup:

Did I get it wrong or did it look in one of the sections of the vid where it showed the internal belt feeding through, that there were squares on the belt that actually made the melody?

-MilesAhead
I was under the impression that they were what was causing the marbles to come down at the appropriate time. You can see it in action from about 35-45 seconds into the video. The pegs move an arm which lifts open a gate and lets a marble drop out.
As best as I can tell, all sounds are produced by the marbles hitting something. And other than the guy moving his hands up & down the guitar frets and spinning the crank and flipping switches now and then to activate/deactivate certain parts of the machine, everything else is done by the marbles.
-
^ aahh okay, that makes sense: I thought (like Miles I think) that that arm made sounds -- I mean directly as opposed to indirectly.
-

Well, I mean, MilesAhead wasn't wrong that the belt had pegs like a cylinder on a self-playing piano. But this machine added in another layer of complexity/abstraction by having the pegs pluck an arm which drops a marble instead of just having the peg pluck a string/prong itself.

I thought she had her eyes closed because she was supposed to be sleepy/sleeping in that song (no idea what the song is about, except pupils (as in eyeballs)). But it seems she always just sings with her eyes closed:
And this one is in English! (She opens her eyes when she's not singing, then closes them as soon as she starts singing again.)

Many singers do this. If used consistently, however, you lose your ability to connect with the audience in a lot of cases. The eyes being the windows to the soul, it's good to use them to draw your audience in.

I guess I still resent the MTV gimmick from years ago. Force the viewer's eyes to refocus every 2 1/2 seconds and they won't change the channel. :) Unless there's hot chicks in a video that doesn't employ that technique I usually am not much interested. Exceptions would be clean video of Jimi Hendrix that shows his guitar work in closeup. SRV or Miles Davis etc.. But yet another drummer "playing" a snare drum full of milk I can live without. :)

Oh, you mean when MTv actually played videos?... yeah, good times.
Actually, I fully agree with you; the abuse of jump cuts and shaky cam effects trumping good old fashioned filmmaking got way out of hand there for a while, though you gotta admit some of the older videos can get a bit on the boring side (Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid' anyone?).
The flip side is I've always felt that videos were supposed to be for showcasing some visual creativity alongside the music, or giving you a taste of what a live show might be like if you'd get off the couch and go.
And to be fair, I was never a good enough guitarist to pick up what anybody was doing in a video anyway; I figured that's what lessons were for. :P

Sarah Longfield on an 8-string guitar and self-produced. Her latest works are moving into prog/fusion country. Not sure if I'm completely wild about all of it.

Many jazz fans will know of and recognise the almost hypnotic beauty in the original Dave Brubeck Quartet's Take Five, of which some critics said its main failing was "...that it stopped":
Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmDDOFXSgAs)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmDDOFXSgAs
However, not so many fans will necessarily have come across the version of Take Five put together by the Pakistani ensemble, The Sachal Studios Orchestra: (if you haven't already heard it, then be prepared for a surprise)
Sachal Studios Orchestra - Take Five Official (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLF46JKkCNg)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLF46JKkCNg
There are some relevant notes in Wayback on the Sachal Studios Orchestra website, here: Sachal Studios Orchestra - Take Five (https://web.archive.org/web/20150906165341/http://www.sachal-music.com/catalogue/take-five/)
I tend to use my 6½ y/o son as a barometer for music appreciation. He seems to have a knack of knowing when a tune is "catchy", and with near-perfect pitch he is often singing pop songs to himself - e.g., including BTS music tracks that he listens to with his older sister and things like Zowie's - Smash It, which I tend to play.
"Play it again, Dad." was his immediate response on hearing the Sachal Studios Orchestra's version of Take Five. In fact, we both listened to it as I replayed it several times, and he watched with interest as I fed the soundtrack into Audacity to look at its waveform and edit out the "beep" at the start of the track.

Thanks for posting about that. I have to admit that I didn't like that track when I listened to it the first time, but on second hearing - and with a decent set of headphones - I liked it a lot, though it needed to be turned up to listen to and was a tad painful on the ears (too noisy). In that regard, it was a bit like Motörhead ♠ Killed By Death ♠ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7-sbiGlzw) - where they made one of the earliest "bad taste" music videos that I have come across (there are a lot). Apparently, listening to Motörhead is the greatest cause of premature deafness in the Western world. ;)
But your post got me thinking about some of the rather good music that has come out of animated videos, and one of my favourites - an opening song to The Ghost In The Shell came to mind - Kenji Kawai - Ghost City (Chant II - Ghost In The Shell movie) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nNJxsP7x4s), which track is about 3½ min. long, with some some techno music accompaniment, and it sounds very nice, though the chant is - relative to the accompaniment - rather shrill and noisy.
For contrast, here is the song being performed live (at about the 3-minute mark) in Ghost In The Shell - Kenji Kawai Opening Theme | Tokyo premiere (2017) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM145D_ZhJA) (and watch the crazy drummer up top).
Here it is in full - approx. 18 ½ min. - with full orchestra and choir: :o

Well, I don't know about "smile", but I found it a pretty impressive demo by professional dancers to some of the good old music of the day.
Coincidentally, my 15½ y/o daughter was today asking me what The Loco-motion was, and I said I thought it was a song and a dance - like The Twist, but maybe a line dance.
So I searched up and found this more modern video clip of people line-dancing to Little Eva's singing The Loco-motion:
Dance Party LocoMotion by Little Eva! American TV Soul Anthem Music Video! (2012) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTXT73QEVQU)
And this (great) video of Little Eva - Loco-motion(1962) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKpVQm41f8Y) (fantastic voice).
And this group of apparently "real"/amateur dancers (as opposed to professional performers) doing what looks like jive to: Little Eva - The Loco-Motion (1962) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn1hA9rK-d0)
Then I found this 2012 video clip from Kylie Minogue - The Locomotion [Live on Dancing With The Stars 11-13-12] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTjD7PyMSrE), where, sadly, the singer's seemingly feeble/weak voice and limited range (I think she may have been ill) really couldn't seem to do the song proper justice, and the stilted dancing of the dancers seemed embarrassing.
Yet another reminder that it tends to be hard to improve on - let alone match - some of those original early dance-song hits.

Song composed by Kayo Konishi and Yukio Kondo in 2004, specifically for anime Elfen Lied. Whilst the music or the melodies are original, the lyrics in the opening part were borrowed from Psalms 37:30 and James 1:12 and the rest were taken from two Gregorian chants, "Ave Mundi Spes Maria" and "Kyrie - Fons bonitatis".
This particular abridgement apparently hadn't been seen before Elfen Lied.
Here's a clip of Elfen Lied - Lilium vocalist and trio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCpCg0sGkg) - piano, 2 x violin (or violin and viola). What a voice. Could be mimed?

For some reason that video reminded me of this one I shared early on in this thread:
Here's one I came upon a day or two ago.
This isn't the actual music video to the song. Some guy on YouTube just grabbed a random music video from the 70s and cut it to make it slightly relevant to the music of Mogwai.
The result is a "What the heck?" which gradually turns into a chuckle, and perhaps even hilarity.-Deozaan

-Deozaan
I can't answer about the relevance/significance - you could presumably look up the history of that particular video's remastering to find out, I guess - but the man is the actor (Sir) Laurence Olivier. He initially seems surprised/uncomprehending by the audience's response, then he seems to "get" it and becomes caught up in their enthusiasm. I don't know who the woman with him is. Olivier would certainly have been well able to appreciate an audience's genuine reaction to a performer.

VOLARE music video: I thought that was rather good - cleverly produced too. :Thmbsup:
Catchy, yes. However, I never learned Italian, so I hadn't a clue as to what it was about.
Interestingly, the video's heavy use of sound synthesis rather gave the game away though as to the loss of tone of one or both of the singers' voices, but that's technology for you - one doesn't need to have a good voice, or even good range, to make a hit song - as seems to have been demonstrated by many current songsters. The earliest pronounced example that I recall being Cher some years ago, with her "Do you believe in life after love?" (or something) song.

I am a bit of a pipe-organ addict. Since childhood I have always enjoyed listening to pipe-organ music, and singing alongside it was always a memorable experience in my years singing in church, school and semi-professional choirs.
Absolutely one of the most beautiful organ pieces ever composed, here is (appropriately enough for Easter time) the pipe organ for the magnificently triumphal hymn Christ The Lord Is Risen Today - here it is being played on the 1892 Johnson & Son Organ at St. Stanislaus Church:
Published on 1 Apr 2012
Saint Stanislaus Parish, Historic Polonia District, Buffalo, New York: Organist & Music Director Peter Gonciarz performs "Christ The Lord Is Risen Today" on the 1892 Johnson & Son Pipe Organ. For more information visit www.StStansBuffalo.com. (April 1, 2012).
Copied from: (3) Christ The Lord Is Risen Today, 1892 Johnson & Son Organ, St. Stanislaus Church - YouTube - <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIH3xqAHQc4>
In the video, it is played twice, the second time (starts at about 2:19mins in the middle) it shows the organist at work. Impressive skill. Just before that bit starts, the roaring of the air in the bellows (air pump) can be distinctly heard in the silence. As the organist is playing, one gets some idea of the time-lag between pressing a key and the sound issuing from the pipes.
My all-time favourite pipe organ music though would probably have to be Widor - Symphonie V, op.42 no.1 Toccata - Allegro. Here, we are indeed privileged to hear it being played by its composer: Ch. M. Widor plays his Toccata from V Symphony Op. 42 No. 1:
Published on 24 Apr 2009
Here the legendary organist plays his most-famous work, Toccata from 5th Symphony. When the recording took place, he had been already 88 years old. He many times mentioned, that Toccata was wrongly popularised, as a plain showpiece, without feeling, but with ridiculously fast tempos. Of course, here the age is a main argument, but... let's the composer speak through his music!

Whilst I am enthusing about pipe-organs, although the Notre Dame cathedral organ might seem to be a pretty amazing instrument:

Girl Walk // All Day is a feature-length dance music video and tale of urban exploration that follows three dancers across New York City.
[...]
is set to All Day, the album by mash-up musician Gregg Gillis (aka Girl Talk)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjeYZTGCqv0-tomos
Someone made a mashup video of that Girl Talk - All Day music mix, using the original videos.
I'm loving it. The music is a crazy mix of genres and times -- it's a brilliant mix, and the video mashup more than does it justice.
I have to admit I dont even know, or really know half the artists. There's 373 tracks sampled in the album.**
| Imagine old, bald Pete Townshend shuffling gingerly onstage as a synth burbles up behind him — “Let My Love Open the Door.” Now imagine the rapper Pimp C already on that stage, in a white fur suit and hat, holding up four fingers to show off his bling. A kick line of girls in black minishorts walks it out for DJ Unk, who’s rapping about a kick line of girls, then Levon Helm appears on a drum riser to chirp out “The Weight.” Also onstage: Jay-Z, Black Sabbath, Rick Springfield, Kesha, Bruce Springsteen, Miley Cyrus, the Ramones and Tupac and Biggie Smalls (both back from the dead) and hundreds more. ... This is pretty much the state of affairs at a Girl Talk show these days. |

Måneskin - Torna a casa-Stephen66515
I was very surprised to see the Danish word Måneskin (=Moonshine) appear in an Italian music video (the letter "å" is normally not used south to Denmark)! Turns out the female bassist Victoria De Angelis' mother is Danish, so Victoria speaks Danish as well as Italian. When the boys in the band heard Victoria pronounce the word Måneskin ( https://translate.google.com/?&q=m%C3%A5neskin#da/en/m%C3%A5neskin ), they said, "Surely, that's the new name for our band!" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A5neskin ) Of course, no one in Italy can pronounce the name - but nowadays that doesn't seems to matter as much as it used to ( https://www.facebook.com/maneskinofficial/ ). The group ended 2'nd in the Italian X-Factor 2017, but with a different piece of music.
Thank you, Stephen66515! :up:

I didn't search those 56 previous pages for it, so please forgive me if this is a clone, but Lisa Stansfield at Ronnie Scott's 2002 (available on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhWc50digwI - bear in mind that the genial composer of most of her stuff is her husband, Ian Dewaney: the most successful and beautiful marriage of all time: the ideal one, I think) is the very best music video as far as I'm concerned, for the last 30 years (i.e. not considering Pink Floyd at Pompei and, well, Al Jarreau, that FRIDAY evening in March, 1976; the available video being from the following SATURDAY anyway (yes, within less than 24 hours, they carried on their broadcast vans, it was THAT good), and I had been there Friday evening, so I can compare, and nothing, NOTHING compares to that Friday evening, at "Uncle Pö's", Hamburg, March 12, 1976). That being said, Tash Sultana's "Jungle", e.g. here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn8phH0k5HI , and that girl in general, are something quite special I might say. And then, there'll be always the very best rendition of Donny Hathaway's "Some Day We'll All Be Free", Alicia Keys's, from the 9/11 telethon (9/21/2001): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8l2OO6xxIc

Blows your mind to imagine morricone writing the damn thing with those voices just making sounds.. Incredible.
Combine it with one of the most amazing movies of all time.. You get a masterpiece. (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/esmileys/gen3/1Small/MOL.GIF) and every note+voice makes me feel like I'm in the old west.

Nice to see all the activity here lately :up: even the terrible stuff :P
A couple of tracks I'm enjoying lately.
Neither particularly original, both just really good tracks imo. I'm no expert but I'd say the first is influenced by older German cabaret music which meets wall of sound. Filtered by Bowie. Best just to listen:
Lernen zu schreien - Rainer von Vielen
Nobody Knows - Ocotillo

If you get a chance, wangle your way into a opera rehearsal. I was a stage manager in opera for a couple of years, and opera rehearsals are fascinating. Very different from theatre. Very chatty, principal singers usually know each other so they catch up and hang. Everyone comes in knowing their part, so it’s about refining the singing to fit the maestro’s vision and learning what the stage director’s wants. All this to say, everyone’s in their everyday clothes, and then they’ll be standing right in front of the stage management table singing an absolutely glorious aria, full voice, right at you. Find someone who knows someone and get thee to a rehearsal!

English translation:
Under the thick dome where the white jasmine
With the roses entwined together
On the river bank covered with flowers laughing in the morning
Let us descend together!
Gently floating on its charming risings,
On the river’s current
On the shining waves,
One hand reaches,
Reaches for the bank,
Where the spring sleeps,
And the bird, the bird sings.
Under the thick dome where the white jasmine
Ah! calling us
Together!
Under the thick dome where white jasmine
With the roses entwined together
On the river bank covered with flowers laughing in the morning
Let us descend together!
Gently floating on its charming risings,
On the river’s current
On the shining waves,
One hand reaches,
Reaches for the bank,
Where the spring sleeps,
And the bird, the bird sings

Tone to die for: Dave Ryan Harris with studio legend Sean Hurley on bass.
—————
Tech note for bass players: notice how Sean is tuned to E-flat rather than E? Consider giving it a try next time you’re rocking a Fender Precision. It’s an old trick many studio cats swear by. The improvement in tone and response can (depending on the instrument) sometimes be quite remarkable. :Thmbsup:

You’re too kind. :)
Here’s another gem: Yvonne Elliman - who is arguably one of the finest voices to ever emerge from the 60/70s rock era - on stage with Clapton and a whos-who of the era’s rock gentry. Here performing Steve Winwood’s Blind Faith classic Can’t Find My Way Home.
They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
I think I’m in love... :-*

Like that one a lot. Thx for sharing it! :D

From the comments: "a jazz guitarist plays 100,000 chords for 3 people, whereas a popular rock guitarist plays 3 chords for 100,000 people"

Nice use of piano and looper. Dude is talented!

Musicians like this make my guitar tell me "I think we should see other people..."

On a bit of a tangent, here a cover of a Rancid song (Olympia WA) by Molly Tuttle. She's an amazing guitarist, but I would have known her more as a bluegrass musician before this. Some (of the best) punk songs are really catchy/poppy...

Ha! After seeing that one, I was about to post that it reminded me of Jon Gomm playing Passionflower, so I searched the forum to find when I had mentioned that previously, and I found a post from 3 years ago (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=15984.msg414622#msg414622) of myself responding to a different Luca Stricagnoli video saying the same thing. ;D
And, well, I won't turn down an opportunity to post this video again, so here it is:
-
Tank and the Bangas.. Stumbled across this yesterday.. The energy and style of this band is a joy to behold. Singer's voice reminded me a bit of Amy Whinehouse:

Then there's this band, Little Big, whose music videos are kind of absurdist high color infectious things:
-
I don't know what they're saying, and I can't help but feel that I'm being scolded for doing something wrong, but I can think of worse ways to be scolded.
-
Nessun Dorma done differently
Not sure what that instrument is called :-)
Artist: Juanjo Monserrat

That's Ievan Polkka. It's gotten to be an internet thing since about 2006 or so. Nope, they aren't scolding (well, maybe); check out the lyrics (farther down the page in the second link)

I’ve been listening to a lot of Symphonic Metal lately. Especially the Finnish metal band Nightwish in their latest incarnation with Dutch vocalist Floor Jansen.
Here’s a couple:

If you've never heard of a band called Shadow Gallery, you should check them out.

And something very special that's not on that playlist, just for Pink Floyd fans:

I had heard of them, but I hadn’t listened to them prior to your link.
Went through about half of that playlist last night. Interesting band. More prog-metal than symphonic to my ears. But still quite enjoyable.
Thx for the link! :Thmbsup:

Speaking of Finnish Symphonic Metal, can't go past a little Apocalyptica:
This isn't available on YT that I can find but another mashup from DJ Schmolli:
Vikings on Dark Horses (https://streamable.com/twae) (Amon Amarth vs. Katy Perry ft. Juicy J)
And from one of my favourite places on the planet, The HU ft. Jacoby Shaddix:

Hey there, here's a nice instrumental one:

Stumbled across this one, added to my likes.
Wardruna by Lyfjaberg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Osp6Gpfeis)

Goes well with my latest likes - theme from "Vikings", "Expanse" and "Halo". At least, *I* think it does! :-)

Another bit of symphonic metal with the band Epica featuring their vocalist Simone Simons paired with her long-time friend Floor Jansen of Nightwish as guest vocalist. Two world class singers on stage at the same time along with a full orchestra and choral section. What’s not to like?
The title Sancta Terra translates to Sacred or Holy Ground. Simone Simons said in an interview it’s not quite about what you think. It’s the tale of a suicide bomber who is in hell, which for him is a completely empty place, but which he believes is heaven and where he belongs. As the lyrics say;
And you will not find me
I am safe in here
I'm where I want to be
It's a place where a wish will be granted
Come, you'll see I'm right
It's a force that will live on within you
Dark as day is light
It's a place where your dreams will be slanted
And will always be

:Thmbsup: Thanks for that!

Feeling tired and a little down today. Today being a gloomy rainy day after the second Covid booster I got yesterday afternoon will do that to you I suppose.
I need a little pick me up. Nightwish, Peter Gabriel, and the capella vocal group Home Free to the rescue.
Yeah. Got a cuppa coffee in me too. Now I’m feeling a little better. 8)
-
Really like Home Free. The solo stuff by the bassist is good to- all of them Avi Kaplan, Tim Foust, and Geoff Castellucci
-
Bob Dylan has a cover of (Johnny Cash's) Ring of Fire that is one of my favorites.. I can't listen to any other cover:
-
This is more of a fun thing than a song per se. But you'll sometimes hear the compliment that some singer could sing the phonebook and make it sound good.
Well...Floor Jansen (Nightwish) was asked to sing a page from the Yellow Pages on NPO Radio2 during a studio interview/appearance. And she managed to do just that. ;D :Thmbsup:
-
For a more serious recommendation, I've been doing a revisit/deep dive on a singer from the Faroe Islands whom I've followed for sometime now named Eivør Pálsdóttir. Her repertoire spans several genres ranging from Nordic folk to pop to jazz. Being an unrepentant semi-retired prog rock bassist, I've been tending towards the heavier music scene in Northern Europe more and more as time goes on. I like her spacier more ethereal songs the most although I also enjoy many of her other songs as well.
This video is from a live performance (the only way to listen to anyone IMO 8)) in 2017.

And for sheer insanity combined with unbelievably virtuoso performances and tight arrangements, it's still hard to outdo the late Frank Zappa.
Talk about a lineup: Frank Zappa—guitar, percussion, vocals; George Duke—keyboards, finger cymbals, tambourine, vocals; Napoleon Murphy Brock—sax, vocals; Ruth Underwood—percussion; Tom Fowler—bass; Chester Thompson—drums! You just don't see that caliber of musicians assembled on a single stage all that often these days. (Ruth is awesome!)

Floor Janssen has the voice of angel and sings like a goddess. And the weird thing is that actually lived less than 10 kilometres from her home, yet never heard of her.
Here is a far better example of what her voice can really do! Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/627248227) or on

Ah! The Charismatic Voice channel! One of my favs. Elizabeth is an utter gem in addition to being a knowledgeable vocal coach. She just recently released her own album.
Not too hard on the eyes either. ;) ;)

Snarky Puppy with guest Lucy Woodward.
Put an electric bass guitar plus two baritone guitars in the same song along with a smoky alto and it doesn’t get much darker sounding than this.

An 11 character-singer scifi themed symphonic/prog metal piece from the Ayreon Project with some production notes in this video. Virtual who’s who of prog metal vocalists.

Those who love the masterpiece "Child in time" by Deep Purple might appreciate this version, albeit rather calm:

Ol’ Seasick Steve is in a league of his own. That guitar of his (which was nailed to a wall when he bought it) is amazing.

I’ve become very impressed by a band called The Warning. Three sisters from Mexico who are continuing to bring hard rock to a pop weary world. ;)
This is them today;
And here’s what they started out from:
