Very Russian. They have an incredible base of folk music and they don't have to stray far from it.

More from the Russian.

A slinky version of Downtown performed by Anya Taylor-Joy as an official music video for the upcoming Last Night in SoHo. I knew she liked to sing, this is the first time we really see her doing it. Film looks interesting.

So while investigating the historicity of The King I found that there was a carol written about it. So groove out to some 15th century syncopation:

I like that sort of music. Quite soothing. Reminds me of kings and Queens of old.

Bungo and I used to geek out over medieval music. Nice to know others appreciate the alternate plane it transports you to.

Attempts to reconstruct ancient Greek music. I think they were limited by their desire to use only classicists in the choir - sounding a bit ragtag. They should try again with professional vocalists.

I just saw her on the streets of New Orleans saturday, and here she is on youtube! But all my videos had cars going in front, this is much better quality.

{{ How can anyone not like bagpipes!!! Mad

I suppose the discussion for the floor show went along the lines of "Well, we could either smash a bagpipe against an amp, or we could hire us some frisky dancers."

{{ Ah the traditional dancing of a Scottish lass, developed leaping through the heather, which if youve ever tried is surprisingly tough and course on the skin, then theres dogging prickly thistles, avoiding haggis nibbling at your toes and jumping away from the odd angry disturbed adder- thats why they leap about like that and got to keep your hands up in the air as thats where youll be carrying your buckie home and you dont want to lose any!

Beautiful piece of music.

Bit too much like what you hear when put on hold for my tastes. I was expecting something more soulful from a Russian band - Russians aren't much for light chit-chat.

I'm pretty sure she's improvising, in which case the transcription is almost as impressive as her performance.

Keith Jarrett doing "somewhere over the rainbow" in Tokyo.

A fascinating peek at Liberace before he went flambouyant.

Great song

by halfwise Sun May 15, 2022 3:07 pm

I like that. Wish I could learn that trick of having backup voices pop out of nowhere when I'm humming to myself.

Had a bit of a crush for Kate when she first came out.

by halfwise Sat Jun 04, 2022 11:51 am

for some reason I always get Kate Bush mixed up with Suzanne Vega, who was also easy to have a crush on (but there were so many). The place the song is based on is walking distance from where I live.

by chris63 Sun Jun 05, 2022 2:26 pm

Always liked that song.

Thought at first this was a small town happening. It's Barcelona, but big cities can feel like small towns.
