I've been number crunching for the last two weeks and it's getting to me just a bit. When all I can think about and dream about is quadratic residues, it's time for a little break. So tonight I just wanted to see what's new on PF and contribute another favorite song or two. This video, according to what I've heard, is in the Museum of Modern Art. Supposedly it's one of the very first ever music videos. For those who are unfamiliar with Captain Beefheart, I hope you enjoy the introduction.

P.S. I changed the link to an updated version of the same event. It's longer and has better sound.

The Stockhausen track was VERY strange..

I read that the reason one of the MIDI patches is "helicopter" is because Stockhausen wrote for that "instrument!"

I am so stuck on a mathematics problem. Maybe we will need to wait for quantum computers. How are those coming along? Anyone working in that field? I don't know qubits from hobbits. Is quantum computing more or less realistic a prospect than nuclear fusion energy?

Time to have a coffee, listen to some good music, and then collapse into bed so I can get back at it tomorrow.

Hallo Kameraden, was gibt es? If you don't like Nena, I have some Heino.

...and I am going to see the good rock band Monster Magnet live very soon in a pretty small club..
I've now seen Monster Magnet and they were very good, but it was loud, very loud :biggrin:, so I had to use earplugs. The audience was great and the atmosphere was great too, and I took a couple of pretty decent photos:

I have a pretty good camera on my phone, so I also filmed three songs live, maybe I'll post one later in the thread :smile:.

In the meantime, here's another song by the band:

That was... Amazing!

Note to self: take up piano. The chorus to Titanic doesn't cut it, I probably don't even remember anymore! :D

Very interesting. I never heard of him before, but I learned that he is very popular and also very controversial. Thanks to Google Translate I can more or less make out the lyrics. I will look for some more of his videos. Thanks.
