[Chris Riccard]

at one time I had the full orchestral version, I love how the horns and violins complement the paino.

sometimes I think what was it all for, who was the lesson for, not me.

No quarter one of my faves (there a lot of Led Zep faves!) I think the live one has a better guitar solo from song remains the same.

One of the saddest songs for me, he was just enjoying this phase of his life, the joy of playing and writing again. Terrible. I may have to put some Beatles on!

Lovely! I would not have been to tell you who wrote this in a month of Sundays!

Ok, I’ve been resisting posting these for awhile, but think I have to.

Oh, good old weird Al Yankovic, what a funny guy...

My fave character on screen with an awesome track to go with it

Here is a real electronic music classic from 1958


More recently, I like Tim Hecker a lot

The Stockhausen track was VERY strange..

 

[BWV]

The Stockhausen track was VERY strange..

There is also his Helicopter Quartet

Ok you win that is the weirdest thing I have seen in music I think

Or just weirdest thing I have seen, certainly in a long while.

 

[BWV]

BTW Stockhausen is on the top row of the Sgt Pepper album cover to the left of WC Fields

Love this song!

Just saw a clip with this girl who is out of this world...
Some people have more talent than others, but some have a jawdropping amount of talent...

60 Minutes pulls four musical notes out of hat, and young composer Alma Deutscher takes off,
improvising a piano sonata in under a minute


How 11-year-old prodigy composed an opera
"Iphones, Ipads, computers and TV... ...ruins the mind and is just a waste of time"


EDIT:
And here she does it again, she's the real deal...
Alma Deutsher Piano improvisation

Holy crap, that is unreal. She did all that in her head?! Or just went with it?? Either way it is unreal. Brilliant. Mozart did this sort of stuff as a kid

Yeah, it's unreal . I have written music and I recognize the basic procedure, that is, you get things in your head, you play with it in your head, you sit down and improvise around it and if you are lucky you get a song or music piece out of it.

But there are stark differences here, hahaha; she is half the age I was when I started writing stuff, she does it on command, she does it extremely fast, she is masterful with the instrument and she plays it practically flawlessly. In short, a very rare talent, and out of this world .

I really like this song.
Gabriella Cilmi - Sweet About Me


Edit:
And here is a live version:

This os a perfect example of me missing some good music because it is popular on MTV or whatever these crazy kids watch, I am a 1970s muso snob! Just because its modern does not mean its rubbish. I liked this when it came out, quirky voice. Great!

We lost Walter Becker last year. A sad day for me.

Nice song! It gave me David Bowie vibes...

Steely Dan were just another of those totally original bands from the 70s all sorts of influences very jazzy but accessible. You just don't get that now (there I go again sorry!)

David Bowie was a one off. I read a great quote from Quincy Jones I think it was something like, "talent like that does not come along once in a lifetime, it comes along once." Bowie was one of those.

This isn't my fave Bowie but it when I was looking for him on YT not long after he died it made me cry a bit when I watched it. This is a different post as it has him chatting at the start but its from the same TOTPS. Man that note he changed at 2.13 just beautiful. He could do so much with his voice. Anyway enjoy.

Another original band with a distinctive sound

 

[pinball1970]

This is very pretty, used from House season 4 I think - 2004 which is pretty radical for me!

 

[pinball1970]

Closer to home for me, all local lads

 

[BWV]

John Cale and Terry Riley - Church of Anthrax (1971)
