darkblue Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 A nomination to the file for awesome songs you've probably never heard: Charlie Sexton Everyone Will Crawl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I agree with Char and darkblue; Magical Mystery Tour is a wonderful and oddly over-looked Beatles record. I think it's because it wasn't released as an official album the way most of their recordings were. It's kind of a collection of songs they hadn't put on other albums. Maybe not, I admit I'm a little foggy on the details. But three of their most famous songs, Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, and All You Need is Love, are on it, so it really is a mystery why it's not listed way up there with the others. I've been thinking about Ry Cooder and what a skilled guitarist he is. Speaking of over-looked music - only other guitarists seem to recognize his talent (but I'm not a guitarist...james??) He's especially adept at slide guitar, it's kind of a signature sound for him. So listen to "Memo from Turner", and you'll see (hear) what I mean. There was a video on youtube with the scene from the film ( Performance ) , but the music is kind of in the background, you can't make out Cooder's great slide playing very well. So I just picked this other one, with a bunch of stills from the movie, plus some of the Stones being decadent, etc. Anyway, "Memo From Turner" is a fantastic song, the highlight of that movie, as far as I'm concerned. If you don't change it yourself, how many posts does it take for your heading to change from "newbie" to "advanced member"? Can you jump the gun by changing to "advanced member" yourself?

darkblue Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Impossible to find a good sound on this. When I was a teen usher, this movie (Hold On!) played - terrible movie with but one memorable scene, when they sang this song (Wild Love). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MultiEye Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Wonderful, thank you. One Halloween a radio station here played hours of different versions of "Ghost Riders in the Sky." Amazing how many there are! No problem, glad to share great movies & music with people who like em. I never saw that version until I looked it up on youtube, so it's good to have that option to discover classic gems like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misswonderly3 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Fi, I'm glad you're still posting here. For a while I was worried that we'd become "too eclectic" for you. By the way, I have a suggestion - this might be useful not just for finance, but for everyone who quotes earlier posts. Usually what you want to quote is what the other poster said. Not the music video they posted. So, you do this by just erasing (backspacing out) the video url when you are replying to their quote. That way, we get the comment the earlier poster made that you're responding to, but without the whole music video embedded again on the post. The repeat of the music video isn't really necessary, since we can just scroll down to the original post it appeared on if we want to listen to it again. And all these repeat music videos, embedded in the posts, make for very long posts and make the thread way longer and more visually distracting than before. I actually kind of prefer the way the thread was before The Big Change, when we just posted the url and people could click it on to listen to/watch the music video. No offence anyone...I just think it would make this thread a bit uh, tidier, if we backspaced out the music vid urls when we are quoting another's post here.

misswonderly3 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm afraid I have something else that most might see as "too eclectic" or esoteric or something. All day I've had the delightful music of Mozart's intro to the "The Magic Flute" going through my head. It's really beautiful, dramatic music, and there's so much to listen to in it. It's fun, actually. Lots of classical music is fun. And to demonstrate that, I'm first going to post a brief scene from Woody Allen's "Love and Death" which uses this music to a very effective and hilariously funny degree: And now here's the actual music, overture from "The Magic Flute". It starts out pretty slow, maybe confirming a common perception of classical music ("It's slow, it's boring.") But give it a minute or so and it just takes off! It really is easy to like, give it a chance, folks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h018rMnA0pM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, when reading YouTube comments many people seem to discover it from video games or movies I've never heard of. Wonderful to know it's finding new life with new audiences!

TheGayDivorcee Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 A rousing number (at least to me!) from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 GayDivorcee, is that Carole Lombard in your "avatar" photo? Great pic, whoever it is. I love Carl Orff. I remember my father playing "Carmina Burana" when I was a kid. This is one way he used to relax on weekends, listening to his beloved classical music. And it's how I came to know and love classical music; just a sort of osmosis, it was always there, I heard it whether I liked it or not, whether I was paying attention to it or not. There was no conscious effort to understand it, this music was just an ambient part of my life. So, after years of this, I guess I just kind of absorbed a lot of it. My dad used to talk to me about that dramatic piece you just posted. He'd tell me about the "great wheel of fortune" that was life, that the music was about. There's also an opera by Orff that he used to play, "Der Mond" (the Moon). And of course, the lovely "Gassenhaur", which is really music composed for children, and with the idea of children being the musicians for it. This last was used throughout Terrence Malick's Badlands. I feel as though I ought to apologize to all the non-classical music people out there. I really did not intend to get all "esoteric" or pedagogic or gawd forbid, just plain pretentious. But it's not pretentious, because I'm not pretending to care about this music. I really do.
