Danse macabre - Macabre dance, by Camille Saint-Saëns:

Sometimes a simple combination just makes so much sense...Bela Fleck & the Flecktones join forces with the Dave Matthews Band for 32 minutes of exceptionally fine music.

One of the odder Moebius inspired (to my eyes at least) videos: Gerry Rafferty's Bring it All Home. (Some excellent bluesy sax on this one.)

An all girl Japanese "idol" group music video. They're wearing socks & boots. Just socks & boots.

Apparently it's a parody according to one comment.

I wonder how many people have ever seen a such performance:

I need a little taste of smooth cool jazz to go with these hot summer nights we've been having. And who better than Hubert Laws and quintet to deliver it with Land of Passion?

Don't know about anybody else, but flute instrumentals are my favorite background music whenever I'm doing something. And fortunately for me, there's been a lot of them recorded over the years.

Johnny Winter has left us. RIP.

A video to remember him:

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.
Enjoy!

I tripped across this a few days ago and it's popping up everywhere.

Rob sent in a press release for it to Cop Block, and I think it spread from there.

NSFW - The video contains extreme, graphic violence. But it's a darn good tune!

What can I say? Some of us march to the beat of a different drummer. (Come to think of it, the entire band is pretty weird.)

Although I'm not a fan of rap, especially when the artist(s) only have 1 syllable words in their vocabulary, this actually sounds ok and addresses something. The video that comes with it is really disturbing though (at least to me).

I know what you mean. I'm not one to go out of my way for rap. Most of it seems like complete garbage to me. But it's not the music so much as the content. I actually like rap when it has some kind of decent message, like that one.

Here's another (NSFW) - F*** the MPAA:

It's pretty darn good. Very catchy.

Opposite Genres here:

3-6-Mafia's song from Rocky 5
One of those songs I prefer no video but it's easier to get get YouTube copy, just minimize it.
http://www.youtube.c.../watch?v=2kJMH916DS4
from Rocky 5, what I call them "Hit them with the Left".

Giacomo Voli's almost better than the original:
Modded David Bowie's Life on Mars (really innovative choice!)
http://www.youtube.c.../watch?v=C204uobri1M
I think he has 20% more power than David Bowie. I know you stand on shoulders and all that, but darn clean take, he only missed like three notes.

"Anyone" can do the first third of the song ... but it's the last third that will really do you in if you can't hit that last four notes.

Who likes beautiful and powerful voices surely will like the wonderful voice of Antonella Ruggiero:

^ I guess that qualifies as irony (?)
Undeserved here imo - might be worth making a new thread and suggesting it in general to people?

Sorry, I thought this was the silly humor thread.

^no worries!

PS I enjoyed it in the context of making an effort to learn what irony really is ;-)
