Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

A version that doesn't spoil anything from the movie. >.>
I need to buy this soundtrack (in Telugu), assuming I can somewhere.

Posted this some six or so years ago, it's time for a repost. :)

I was watching the latest Escapist stream and they brought up the mid 90s swing revival.

Someone needs to revive swing again.

I'm trollin', and also testing to see if the video posting behind EU cookie rules works now. 

 

 

 

If you're going to post Despacito, atleast make it the metal Despacito!

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

I post this video once a year. I don't know if it's been a full year or not, I don't care. Here's Still of the Night:

An oldie from my favourite Faeroese songbird. I know she's a classically trained soprano, but I'm just impressed by what she can do with her voice (and play the guitar at the same time)

I was going to say that Ritchie Blackmoore looks pretty worn out, but then I realized the guy is 77. Where did all the time go? 

edit: For clarification, I meant his guest appearance in the above video, not this one from 2006. :p

Well, there's not much to say. Crash course in Nietzschean philosophy:

And, if any of you want to develop ear cancer for some reason:

 

My first thought was "it's hard to believe this sort of thing exists in the same universe that I occupy". Thing is, I was already coming to this thread to post the following video that I had the same exact thought about, even though it's from a totally different end of the spectrum.

I think yours is admittedly more effective as ear cancer, though.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

What in the everblazing fires of hell... no, no, no. Nope. I'm going back to listening to µ's.

edit: Hard to believe there's music out there that makes Love Live!'s µ's sound genuinely good.

Just imagine what it sounds like without the music, which is how it was originally delivered. Hard disagree on the song you just posted, though: couldn't make it very far into that one. At least the Tamura video I could watch all of, embarrassing as it was.

Meh, Rammstein is busy touring the world (everywhere except down under) 😢

Since they're not creating any new songs while touring, I just have to find the second best thing. Rammstein covers 😂

It's a pity that Bandai Namco had the great live version of Dancing Stars On Me removed from YouTube, that was my go-to µ's song whenever I wanted to show off how bad music could get. Still, I'd rather listen to START DASH than that Husband Calling Rock edition thing. That made my eardrums bleed, although I suspect that was the original intention of the contest. :p

I've listened to it like ten times. It's the worst thing I've ever heard, but it's also the best, and that matters more. I hope you listened to enough of it so you could hear her making the literal pig oinking sounds.

The world was made a better place with its absence, :p.

I did. Listen to the entire thing. I get too, sometimes, where I listen to terrible music on repeat because I can't stop, but that is very much not the case with the Husband Calling.

Reminded me of the end of the skype laughter chain video.

Does get a little fake at the end there.

Wait, on topic? What? Right.

HYOSTLE REMIX!

At the end? Except for the baby, what about the beginning...and the middle? That was completely intolerable, :p.
