majestic Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Â Prince Dead at 57 Â I can't believe it. Â Â I have a hard time believing this entire year so far, lots of artists and celebrities dying - not only famous musicians (Bowie, now Prince) but writers (Eco, Lee) and actors (Rickman), among others, as well. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Starwars Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 There's not much music which can continue to produce a tear in my eye year after year but this melody manages it. Still one of the most touching things I've ever heard. Â 2 Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0

Starwars Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 I played the Nyckelharpa a bit in high school. It's a lovely instrument but I had to stop since I couldn't afford to get on for myself at the time (was already into guitars).

It's a lovely instrument but I had to stop since I couldn't afford to get on for myself at the time (was already into guitars).  I wish I wouldn't associate the instrument with In Extremo, but that sort of was my first exposure:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyaDuLHzj7o  And while that isn't so bad at all one needs to keep in mind that they also made this absoultely horrible Sisters of Mercy cover with an absolute terror of a music video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNUrJBvKf_I  Yeah. I know the end is missing, silly Vevo. But... just be glad it is over. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
Orogun01 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Â 3 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*Â *If you can't tell, it's you.

Valsuelm Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Hall and Oates For Hall and Oates fans, this show is pretty awesome: http://tela.sugarmegs.org/_asxtela/HallAndOates1984-12-17TheForumLosAngelesCA.asx  setlist: http://tela.sugarmegs.org/_asxtela/asxcards/HallAndOates1984-12-17TheForumLosAngelesCA.html  Not the absolute best of sound quality as it's low bandwidth, but still a really great listen (especially if you tweak it a bit with an equalizer).  When I stumbled onto this show some years back I had been a Hall and Oates fan, but I'd only ever heard their studio recordings. Somewhat to my surprise, they put on one hell of a live show with a lot more energy than I expected. Wish I'd been able to see them during this era.  Also, I may have mentioned this before, but I highly recommend sugarmegs.org, it's a great repository of bootlegs and other live show sources. Also happens to be one of the oldest such places on the net (I've been going there since the 90s), if not the oldest at this point.  Two other great repositories of live music: http://bt.etree.org/index.php (torrents, some very high quality) https://archive.org/ (also has some very high quality recordings)  Note, with archive.org, I've not found a single page that links to all the great music they have. For example, the etree link below has a whole lotta GD. But their links don't hold all that the other one below has. Same can be said of other bands. It can pay to spend time searching.  https://archive.org/details/etree https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22Live+concert%22  Edited April 24, 2016 by Valsuelm

Gromnir Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuaG-TCpbtw  billy preston is one o' the numerous musicians 'bout whom we is conflicted.   also wrote this:   why we is conflicted is 'cause o' preston's sexual assault o' a sixteen year old boy.  similar issues with rick james... though for some inexplicable reason am ok with leadbelly's issues.  seems that Gromnir is ok with murder, but draws the line at sexual crimes?  too much law & order: svu?  HA!

Bartimaeus Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Man, I am so tired of seeing Prince garbage. Living in Minnesota, you'd think he was the (previously) living reincarnation of Jesus or something - it just never ends. Â 3 Quote 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.

Living in Minnesota, you'd think he was the (previously) living reincarnation of Jesus or something - it just never ends. Can't say what it's like in Minnesota, but in the rest of the U.S. it's not that bad, and has nothing on the buttworship that went on for years after Kurt Cobain checked out. MTV, Rolling Stone, et al sucked his dead shaft dry, pumped it full of something and sucked it dry again, and again, and again. Â Also, it's somewhat ironic that you follow up the quoted with a song called 'Memphis', where the granddaddy of dead celebrity worship has his shrine. Â Edited April 26, 2016 by Valsuelm 2
