Tunes

Been a while:

In the Everglades they got mirrored shades
And say “You ain’t from around here are you? You ain’t from around here are you boy?”

Ethereal

san Guine, thanks for putting those up. I don't know many people of our ilk who like classical music but I adore it.

Dude put up a Don McLean song a whiles back saying it was the most beautiful song ever written. This is my winner for the most beautiful song ever written. There's a reason Mozart was the shit. The guy was a genius. Probs one of the most well known pieces of classical music too.

Soothing, Wolfgangs lifetime dedication to his craft. And with a name like Wolfgang you'd have be a genius too.

I may be wrong but legend has it this song came to him in a dream and he wrote it down, note for note, the next day. Sounds far fetched but the story kinda ties in nicely with such a dreamy composition.

You should check out John Zorn Zen.
He writes lots of different genres. Including classical.
The albumn Nosferatu would be a good start. Or maybe The Concealed.

Cheers Matty, will do.

Impressive, good find.

Nice one Udo. The beginning of a long and illustrious career for Mr Cave.

Getting sick of the cold. Come on spring.

Pink Floyd classic Shine on you Crazy Diamond is dedicated to Syd Barrett.
tbb has not read of the following but believes this concert transcended Syd to Nirvana.

1965 Many in Syd's Trip out circle converted to Sikhism...

7th July 2006 Syd Dies...after a respecting Sikh Darma 49 days ends 2nd stage Bardo Rebirthing period

After 49 days...loved ones or band must sing or pray to navigate Syd towards enlightenment. (Easy!)
This magic hour Concert channels the ultimate power boost & optimum time for Syd to reach the Light.

26th Aug 2006 Pink Floyd transcend Syd's Soul by channelling Nirvana with their Ghostly Fiddle.

Why this Haunting Ghost Fiddle...tbb...
Ok! Busted! tbb was actually researching the Orchestration of Wave Acoustics~ Surfing musical notes.
Surfing yer own soundtrack for wave pool disco sounds more believable tbb...'OMG...Please stop him!'

The crew know this makes sense as Syd's swansong was originally recorded with this Ghostly Fiddle.
Syd was toasted in a VIP interstellar overdrive Limo to Rock'n'Roll Nirvana...(Believe it or not!)
tbb lays claim to outing Syd's ultimate Trip out... (Ben's tunesmith's death wish!)

Here's Syd's interstellar overdrive re-birthing booster sequence to Nirvana...exclusive to swellnet.

True Story! 1987 Classy swellnet Aussie popped into Mozart's House...coz it was cheaper than the Dunny!'

Good to hear SG. Kim Salmon - an underrated Aussie music legend (among many others).

For the Friday evening commute. Best band name ever?

Lol. Exploding White Mice gotta be up there as well. Top Adelaide band back in the day

Yeah "Exploding White Mice" great name and great band.

But for me this might be the best band name, have some good songs too.

And you will know us by the trail of dead...

Enjoy.

Up for the dawnie (airport run unfortunately). Some tunes that kept me company on the drive in.

Poll time. Who’s your fav version?

All good, but I'm going with the original because they wrote it and the video film clip looks like they had allot of fun . Kevin had to go with the facts too;)

Just heard this on RRR, a time and a place...

Hey Zen, been meaning to comment on your earlier post re Mozart. He was pretty much the sound track to my childhood, I don't think I heard any "pop" music until I was >12 years old. A bit of a best of compilation... close your eyes and experience the beauty of his musical genius.

The brilliant Mark Rothko and his links to Mozart

Nice link Guy, cheers. Have to confess I've never heard of Rothko but his work is beautiful and I like the comparison between him and Mozart. I leave a little more educated for that.

SG, I used to wake up to classical music wafting through the house from as young as I could remember. My father had heaps of vinyl of the classics. Like me he said he couldn't tell you the composer, he just liked the sound of it. I remember a school excursion when I was about 8. We went to see the Melbourne Philharmonic play the Nutcracker. While most everybody was just mucking up, I sat there almost in tears, my heart brimming in awe of that beautiful music. Marrying a classical pianist has been a bonus for me. I've said it a million times but one of my favourite things on earth is drifting off on the couch while my darling is tinkling away in the background.

Cheers for the link- I actually play that one as BGM in the lobby of my business.

Also above, all good versions of Let there be Rock, but have to give it to the original. They're just so bloody tight.

nice Wilhelm, now where's those rabbits.
