^ Good ol' Ludwig van. Quite welcome after all the pop I was listening to lately. (12.8 million views in a little over 2 years? Not too shabby for such "oldfashioned" music.) I find classical cleans out stuffed hearing pretty well, assuming I don't resort to plain silence in the first place. Silence is so
underrated.
Anyway, here's the song that displaced Marina and the Diamonds'
I am not a robot as my most-scrobbled piece ever lately (oops), from the "language barriers be damned" department:
The song is called
Tra due minuti è primavera. It is, quite obviously, 100% pure pop. But it's
good. Actually the whole album (
Mentre tutto cambia) is. Not sure about the dance choreography in this performance (ballet? srsly?), but I'm not an expert in those.
Good stuff. To these ears, it's quite reminiscent of early-'80s post-punk, which could be similarly bleak... Cocteau Twins'
Garlands and such.
Amarok - named after the Mike Oldfield album, I suppose?
