What kind of music are you enjoying right now?
« on: Tue, 19 April 2011, 12:17:58 »
This thread is supposed to pick up where this one left off, this time without creative spelling in the title. ;)

I'll start with two for quadibloc, so expect something on the lighter side.

First there's a lady from the UK you might enjoy if you liked the Carpenters...

...and then we have a Dutch singer who does poppy swing jazz:


Staying in rather listenable yet fairly different territory, I finally got an album from this lady recently who likes to explore somewhat unusual connections among musical cultures:
(More info on her in the Ectophiles' Guide)

Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

I'm listening to this Japanese kid (who I think lives in Sweden) who does awesome acoustic covers of songs:

It's nice to be remembered. There is so much beautiful music on YouTube - but it's still difficult to find something that I enjoy that can hold up its head in such august company.

Here's a jazz version of an almost forgotten melody that was a big hit in its day,


and here's another song that made it to the charts


I also came across this; as it was not a live performance, I hesitated to include it at first, but it's a lovely song, the first hit performance from a then-obscure songwriter who, many years later, became a well-known singer-songwriter with hits like "It's Too Late" and "I Feel the Earth Move"...


and so I thought that I really should work it in to the tapestry of my post.

The song was originally recorded by Bobby Vee, for whom Carole King wrote other songs, but it ended up as just an album track rather than a single. Here's a live performance of this song by a famous British singer:


who, in an odd parallel, recorded "It's My Party" as a mere album track before Lesley Gore made it her big breakthrough hit.

Only 18 views - compare that with a stupid Bieber video.
You must admit that appreciating Telemann makes more demands of the listener than appreciating Justin Bieber - thus, while deploring popular taste, one has to also recognize that one can't be too surprised.

Also, just a little clicking on the suggested videos over on the left, and a few pages away, I find this:


At 35,053 views, no doubt it is still not up there with Mr. Bieber, but it's not quite as atrocious.

EDIT: I looked at the Justin Bieber video cited in this thread, and found that it had over half a billion views. I have to wonder if that's not some kind of program bug; tens of millions, I expected; a sizable fraction of the global population, I did not.

The first two are house/dance, the third is more dubstep. Electronica is a bit different...

Dubstep is sheeeet - there's a couple songs I like, that Ellie Goulding remix being the one I like most.

I usually listen to the below stuff, but since the weather is so nice it's got me listening to summer house tunes :p

@Ripster - I searched youtube for a better video (girl is haawt) and I think she's Jolin Tsai. If that's the case, she had a big sex scandal a few years back. Edison Chen (guy from Infernal Affairs, that's how I found out about this thing) had sex tapes from him with this girl, Maggie Q (fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine), and some other girls.

EDIT: Panda, I've got some metal for you:


My favorite metal song :p I used to listen to metal, I still have a pandora station with it for when I work out

the vocals just killed it, nevertheless it was pretty good. The singer sounds like he was just infected with the T-Virus and he's angry that the local mcdonalds is not serving breakfast (obviously due to be being overrun with a zombie apocalypse).

this is more of the metal that I enjoy these days

Dream Theater is the kind of music I imagine people with long hair and beards listen to while playing Warhammer or D&D...it's so melodic. I like ripping peoples faces off.

Here's a little something:


As this live performance seems to be a little short, here's another (much later) one:


Oh, and it had 674,074 views - not up there with Justin Bieber, but still enough to make me think there is some hope for humanity yet.

And here's a cover version that's a little different:

as a result of reading this article about the future of desktops versus the iPad:

I listen to pop music (Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Michelle Branch, Taylor Swift, High School Musical (btw, I dislike Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber)).
I also listen to rock music like Pink Floyd, Guns N' Roses, Queen, Nirvana (just to name a few).
I listen to metal, I like Slipknot, Iron Maiden, Metallica.

I watched this on the Hungarian TV show "Csillag Születik" yesterday. It's a talent show, and very similar to the Britain's Got Talent.
I rarely ever listen music, but this guy is a freaking amazing musician playing on his accordion.
I just feel the urge to share this with everyone.

That is indeed amazing, and shows that Hungary's got talent too. If people are curious as to what kind of accordion he is playing... I was curious too, and so on my web page at http://www.quadibloc.com/other/mus03.htm is the answer I found.

That's Bach BWV 147. That obviously took a lot of work, but I was disappointed to find out it's just a commercial for a phone.

Bach to Bach.

Heard this at Easter Service.  Our organist pulled out all the stops on this one.

Well, the tenth movement from it, at least. Better known as "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring".

Ah, yes. Sharp's Touch Wood SH-08C. But I'm hardly surprised that such a thing is a commercial.

Ages ago, the TV happened to be on when a soap opera was featuring the wedding of some major characters. A performance of Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring done on handbells was featured. I was impressed by it; the closest thing I could find to it is this performance by the Festival Handbell Ensemble from Korea:


And here's another nice performance:

Heh heh. "Touch wood".

Wonder why they don't market that phone in the USA...
