MUSIC thread

My, how you must hate music. All it means to you is a chance to talk about other things you hate.

So of us are more interested in magical moments. But of course you hate that.

'Bo(HEI)mian Rhapsody' is IN. As are all us Bohemes.

No, I don't think the Elton John movie will do the same for 'Rocketman.'

So if you're catching the commercial where he's singing "East bound and down. . .we're gonna do what they say can't be done. . . ." That's him.

I need some of this guy's attitude right now.

Now that sounds like the theme for a TV detective. These days he drives a Tesla. Or maybe we give Captain Hook from 'Once Upon a Time' his own starship for a new 'Star Trek' series. He could play the TV detective, too.
 
I have no music skills, but my nephew apparently does. He's released a single and since I do graphics and animation, he asked me to make a lyric video to accompany it. This isn't exactly the kind of thing I usually do, but its related. So here's his first single and my first lyric video.

I consider Bohemian Rhapsody to be the most complex popular song that was a mega hit. The chords, tempos, vocal harmonies are remarkable.


I consider the Beatles single of Strawberry Fields/ Penny Lane, to be the most revolutionary 45 record ever released in popular music. The Beatles were 1 of a kind. They broke all the rules in popular music, along with creating breakthrough recording techniques. They wrote in numerous genres and took huge risks in changing their writing styles from album to album. They were not the greatest musicians of their era, but the 4 of them together, were the greatest songwriters and revolutionaries in popular music. Mick Jagger used to call them " the 4 headed monster" .
 
It still astounds me, the Beatles were able to accomplish so much, mostly using 4 track analog recording. Its even more amazing, when you consider they were a band that did not just stick to only guitar/drums/bass/vocals. They constantly used orchestral instruments , unique instruments like the sitar along with doing a lot of 3-4 part complex vocal harmonies. they originated using ideas like tape loops, backwards recordings, ADT ,etc...in the studio.

For anyone who loves music, but does not think the Beatles were great, Id advise them to put on a pair of good headphones, and then listen to songs like ;

ELEANOR RIGBY
PENNY LANE
STRAWBERRY FIELDS
I AM THE WALRUS

I used to rent a house to a black person who was a great jazz guitarist and was very educated in music theory. He would come over to my studio and see my photos of the Beatles on the wall. I asked him if he liked the Beatles, and he said " NO" . I then asked him if he would be open minded enough, to sit down with me, for 20 minutes, and listen to the above 4 songs I mentioned from the Beatles catalogue. He agreed to do it. From that point on, after he really listened to those 4 songs, he became a Beatles fanatic...so much so, that he DEMANDED to borrow all my beatles albums, so he could learn them on guitar.


He told me, he never really listened to the complexities of Beatles songs, when he would hear them on the radio. In fact, he said hen ever he thought of Beatles music, all that would enter his mind, were songs like LOVE ME DO or YELLOW SUBMARINE. He never realized that the Beatles had over 200 original songs , many of which were musically complex and groundbreaking .
 
How can you not love the guitar work by Portland Oregon-based "The Dandy Warhols"?

So the label brought the suit, the Rolling Stones backpedal from the whole thing, but this guy in the video blames the Stones and understands the label perfectly. Another example of such troubling thoughts in this world.

Found this one on a YT video of BMX stunts, luckily the info below the video had the name of the band and song.
Got an East coast feel to it, but their other songs are good too.
They blocked my region for YT, too lazy to find and d/l a VPN.

It's a cold day in southern California when I get to thinking of this song. It might not be as cold as NY, but you're not going to be so warm outside in LA.

I don't know if you're REQUIRED to be a future engineer to play with this. I guess Python or at least some sort of 'C' experience helps, but it's intended to teach you, so. . . .
 
You probably knew the Monkees didn't play on their first album. But did you know the Beach Boys didn't play on 'Pet Sounds?'

So if you ever wonder who did, in fact on several hundred number one singles,etc. . . .

They have the bass player Carol Kaye in the 'Wrecking Crew' documentary, she's making a comment about finding the right harmony, counterpoint beat, whatever, it makes it more interesting. Something for you to give some thought to.

What some of this reminds me of:
