Music The Music Thread

Nimrod is beautiful, although I always think of the Green Day song which has a slightly different tone and tempo.

Just because I happen to have this on a tab at the moment, here's some political incorrectness:

Nice choice McZ. Did I ever mention I've played the Enigma Variations when I was a member of an orchestra?

Not the dance version, but the original which I first discovered from the Platoon soundtrack.

And the choral version

This thread is missing a little Soul...

It's also missing a little bit of synth music as well..............

Having recently watched the Songwriters Circle on BBC4 I thought you might all enjoy a little Suzanne Vega.

An artist that I hadn't thought of for a long time is Robyn Hitchcock, until I heard a track on BBC 6 Music. He used to be in a band called The Soft Boys, but I'm not a great fan of their music. I do really like this track by Mr Hitchcock...

Whilst playing that track on yootoob, I noticed a link to a band I'd never heard of before, called The Shins. I thought I'd click on it and here it is...

...I think it's quite good. It's funny what you find, if you aren't really looking for anything.

From Wikipedia, the entry for Tam Lin - Tamas Lin

Every seven years the fairies paid a teind, a tithe to Hell, of one of their people, and Tam feared he would become that tithe on
that night (Hallowe'en)

It's the 1970's.

In a car (a Triumph 2000), a very young McZ looks excitedly out of the window watching the fields speed by, looking forward to the camping holiday ahead, in Cornwall.
On his father's 8-track car-stereo, the music fills his ears...

... And the next song conjures up pictures in McZ's mind..

... And they say a father has no influence on his son's music taste.....

Someone told me that it's the time of year when it's Christmas...

Happy Christmas, if you can enjoy it...

And, for a light hearted Christmas, with a singing reindeer...

As the more astute among you may have noticed, there is a video miissing from the above post.

This is because Youchooob have denied us the opportunity of embedding the said video, for the reasons known only to themselves...


In case anyone is curious about the content of the video in question, one can visit "YouChoob" >>here<< and view the illicit Christmas flick.

There was a typo in the video id McZ, I've edited it for you

Still need to watch it on YouTube though
