I used to listen to her when she was in the Sugarcubes. Vespertine was not to bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, she was rocking that slightly confused Eskimo look that the media latched onto. Which is fairly original, I'll give her that.

jdgm Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) Stunningly, terrifyingly good, an absolute master musician. The sound and vision are very slightly out of sync. Edited April 21, 2021 by jdgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBSinTo Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 "A New York State of mind" by Billy Joel. Got the music today and am learning to play it. Great song. RBSinTo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBSinTo I thought you played guitar not the piano? Or do you tickle the ivory? Billy up to 52nd Street was great stuff. Glass Houses (has some good stuff), but after that he bores me. I saw him in '86 about 3 weeks after I saw Elton John. Elton was great, Billy was just okay and played way to may songs of that fake Doo Wop album he made. Edited April 23, 2021 by Sgt.

Strictly a guitar guy, although now that one of our Grand-daughters is taking ukelele lessons (in addition to piano lessons) that I sponsor and sit in on, I'm learning a bit of it as well. Sadly, I don't have the legs to wear a hula skirt. But I digress. If I like a song, I'll get whatever music is available for it, as long as it shows chords, and learn to play it. Having to learn to play those really exotic and finger-spraining augmented, diminished and demolished chords has made me a better ( but still crappy) musician. But I play only for my own enjoyment so that's ok. And as far as artists and groups are concerned, with the exception of a handful, I'm a fan of individual songs only, rather than the music of the persons who write/sing/play them. So I'll like a tune or two by whomever, and not bother or even listen to anything else they've done. Odd, I guess, but that's just my musical taste.

RBSinTo Songs for me are when I (rarely) listen to the radio and can not control what is played. Usually when I am driving or at my house I listen to albums in their entirety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Can't do that 'cause the CD player in my car needs repair. And for some time now, don't drive far enough to have time enough to listen to albums in entirety, but getting the CD fixed would help in getting to hear what I like more often. As for the radio, well, if not for college and public stations(one public station here dividing it's time between classical and jazz) I'd only listen to a news station while driving anywhere.

RBSinTo Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 "Smile" by Nat King Cole. Got the music and will learn to play it. Only a couple of unfamiliar chords, so won't be a problem. RBSinTo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he should have tried listening to it sober.....? I wonder.... first; Who IS this "advanced classical composer" and... What has he ever composed? and How does it make him any authority on anything? Sepiatone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepiatone I would tend to think of him as classical snob that though Rock was beneath him, but was genuinely surprised at how all of the complex parts of "Close To The Edge" came together and worked.

Yes was more than progressive, I think, creating antagonistic components and making them sound like they belonged together. The early Prog's like Captain Beefheart, Zappa, Arthur Brown, Soft Machine, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater to name few, I should include Todd in there as well, all went to different extremes experimenting on breaking the rules and making it work. 🙂 Edited May 8, 2021 by mihcmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
