A Music Thread

[SlowwHand]

Post videos. Post lyrics. Post bands coming to town and if you're seeing them. Post good music sites you've found. Favorite radio station sites. Whatever.
How does that sound to you?

I like "Classic" Rock and Blues the best. I'm open to most. Not that it matters, it's an introduction of sorts.

I like to read about artists at www.allmusic.com
They give good and honest reviews of CDs. If you surf from Similar Artist to Similar Artist, you can get lost and forget where you started.

I listen to Lone Star 92.5. http://www.kzps.com/main.html most of the time. From Blues to Rock to Country. Unique.

The sum of the parts is greater than the individuals... with great bands this is usually the case... you take one out and the magic is gone...

in any case Pixies

For minimalism/ambient/electronic I love Last.fm!

I'm feeling nostalgic today; listening to a band that I used to listen during my late teenage year.

Ann the Raven [link] is the greatest blues DJ ever! Unfortunately, she's only on 8 hours a week.

Early 80's Cure
Later Cure: One of those bands that made an impact and failed to follow up

I've seen Jools Holland live twice: once shortly after he split from Squeeze and went solo (in support of a great album that never made it to cd format, alas), then again earlier this year (25 years later) in Singapore. He puts on a hell of a show. Plus, his show introduced me to Pink Martini and Gogol Bordello, two really great bands. Jools!

Do I have ever said that I love Bach, and also Glenn Gould? And what I love more than Bach, is Gould playing Fugue from Bach!

Contrapunctus XIV breaks off abruptly in the middle of the third section at the 239th measure. The autograph carries a note in the handwriting of Bach's son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach saying “Über dieser Fuge, wo der Nahme B A C H im Contrasubject angebracht worden, ist der Verfasser gestorben.” (“At the point where the composer introduces the name BACH in the countersubject to this fugue, the composer died.”) However, modern scholarship disputes this version, in particular because the musical notes are indisputably in Bach's own hand, written in a time before his deteriorating vision led to erratic handwriting, probably 1748–1749.[7]

I'll try to refrain myself posting too much classical; but this video could be interest some people.


Glenn Gould - So you want to write a fugue?

Composition by Glenn Gould

So you want to write a fugue.
You got the urge to write a fugue.
You got the nerve to write a fugue.
So go ahead, so go ahead and write a fugue.
Go ahead and write a fugue that we can sing.

Pay no heed, Pay no mind.
Pay no heed to what we tell you,
Pay no mind to what we tell you.
Cast away all that you were told
And the theory that you read.
As we said come and write one,
Oh do come and write one,
Write a fugue that we can sing.

Now the only way to write one
Is to plunge right in and write one.
Just forget the rules and write one,
Just ignore the rules and try.

And the fun of it will get you.
And the joy of it will fetch you.
Its a pleasure that is bound to satisfy.
When you decide that John Sebastian must have been a very personable guy.

Never be clever
for the sake of being clever,
for the sake of showing off.

For a canon in inversion is a dangerous diversion,
And a bit of augmentation is a serious temptation,
While a stretto diminution is an obvious allusion.

For to try to write a fugue that we can sing.

And when you finish writing it
I think you will find a great joy in it.

or so...
Nothing ventured, nothing gained they say
But still it is rather hard to start.

Well let us try right now.
Now we are going to write a fugue.
We are going to write a good one.
We are going to write a fugue ... right now.
