Music Library [PART 2]

Nice....

Nina Simone - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free

Starfighter Pilot wrote:This is adorable!

Space - Bad Days

Great track from an excellent album.

The phrase 'classic' is thrown around too lightly nowadays but, nevertheless, sometimes it is the only sane response...

Pizzicato Five - Twiggy Twiggy/Twiggy vs James Bond

Space - Bad Days

Is it, yep. Thanks for linking it.

Vivaldi Recorder concerto in C Major 1st two movements - Michala Petrie

Michala Petrie is a genius. This is my favourite Vivaldi work to listen to - also my favourite to play.

No problem! I did wonder, Zolts, if it was a coincidence that you'd been listening to "Avenging Angels" on OG or not!

Today, let's have some more Beatles.

The Beatles - A Day in the Life

...while I can actually get a signal...

*kicks laptop*

Another TV theme tune, which I've been hearing rather a lot of lately:

W.G "Snuffy" Walden - The West Wing Suite

Gear New Year!

And, in the spirit of reflection that the arbitrary turn of a calendar page presages with a tedious and depressing inevitability, here's a song that's at least marginally appropriate...

The Shortwave Set - Yesterdays To Come

That was me sampling other songs of theirs, YouTube is handy for that. I'll definitely be picking up a couple of their CDs.

The Portico Quartet - Cittagazze

Another live Mercury awards performance. The album is stunning - miles better than Elbow (although not quite as wonderful as Rachel Unthank)

As much as I like the Elbow album,I thought nearly half the shortlist was better than it. And I hadn't even heard everything on it, this being an example - although I have now ordered it from the library and intend to give it a listen...

The Mercury Prize should only be for debut albums anyway, I reckon...

I hope you enjoy it. I think it's wonderful.

My final selection for this year is an absolute belter of a "love song". Engelbert Humperdink - Too Beautiful To Last.

Rest assured my selections for 2009 will be as eclectic bizarre as in 2008. Variety always has been, and always will be, the spice of life. Happy New Year!

Starting off 2009 with something I couldn't find on YouTube:

Semisonic - This Will Be My Year

Because I'm in that kind of a mood this afternoon...

Lambchop - Theöne

...just beautiful...

OK, over the next week or so I'm going to post versions of some of the songs in "Aladdin". And to start with, here's a live version by McFly of Don't Stop Me Now.

Oh the horror!

Barbra Streisand - When the sun comes out

I love this song. Claire Martin also does a very good version but of course no-one can compete with Barbra.

And next up, it's...

The Stone Roses - She Bangs The Drums

Elbow - Grounds For Divorce

I think they deserved to win....
