La La Means I Love You-Alton Ellis.
Alexis Korner and Snape - 'Rock Me Baby'
If you don't like musical analysis this will not be for you, but I do, and have watched this twice, the second after listening to Rachmaninov's second piano concerto. It has also made me aware of Celine Dion, who was previously just a name to me. I think she has skill.
Enjoy!

I listened to this after reading the article in The Guardian. A dodgy piano, but superb playing.

LISTEN TO THE PSYCHO DUST VERSION:banana::banana::banana:
aka Adam Yauch, pronounced Yahwk, also known as MCA and Nathaniel Hornblower, is a founding member of hip-hop trio the Beastie Boys. Yauch was born August 5, 1964 into a wealthy family in Brooklyn, New York. He died May 4, 2012 of cancer.
I have been watching Cardiff Singer of the World on the BBC, and a Chinese soprano offered a charming rendition of an aria from Donizetti's opera Don Pasquale, which with L'Elisir d'Amore is one of his most engaging operas. Of the YouTube version, there is a splendid live one from Sumi Jo in the 1990s, but this one might be the best.
Of the Cardiff roster, a disappointing year, with the exception of Scottish mezzo Beth Taylor who has a ravishing voice, I hope she wins.
Graziella Sciutti - Quel guardo il cavaliere... So anch'io la virtu magica ( Don Pasquale ) - YouTube
A famous Scottish song, given more of a heavier version here than, say, a folk duo like The Corries would, but what a voice! She is also in the Cardiff Singer of the World, and I think will win it.

Silence
Dvorak conducted the premiere of his 'New World' Symphony in Carnegie Hall in December 1893 and it has been a huge success since that evening. It is a perfectly formed symphony, with a divine melody in the Largo played on the English Horn, or Cor Anglais, that most plaintive of the Reed instruments. A fine performance from the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, whose YouTube videos are mostly wonderful, as is the Alte Oper where they perform.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Is this so different?
Arthur Brown - Fire �� (1968) (youtube.com)
I don't know, musical taste is subjective, a song may speak to someone and another may not get it.
Probably why there are so many different genres and styles so there's something for everyone.
Rick Beato on the state of music and technology -it's not really my thing but his illustration of how technology deals with John Bonham's drums compared to the real thing is astonishing. It could be a depressing thing if AI were to replace real musicians and above all, spontaneity, though I think most people are happy plugging in to their music through the internet rather than other means -is it nostalgia alone that holds on to records, record players/sound systems, and dare one mention it -live music?
The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse (youtube.com)
Interestingly, vinyl records have been making a comeback, so many people clearly do find today's technology unsatisfying. Recently my CD player stopped working, so I went to various electrical goods stores looking for a replacement. I was surprised to find that stand-alone CD players have almost disappeared, but there were several turntables in stock.
The paradox of technology seems to be that the easier it is to access stuff, the less we value it.
If you mean Sony Walkman players or similar, they can be purchased online as they don't seem to be sold in shops, though the independent CD/DVD/Vinyl shop in my town used to and not so long ago -but they also sell the decks to go with their vinyl. Shops here like Currys/PCWorld also sell stereo systems, some may even have a cassette player though I am not sure about that, and I do have an external DVD/CD drive which I use on my computer. I also have a radio/cd player in the kitchen though the quality of sound is not great -indeed, I think the record decks and super-expensive stylii now mean you get better sound out of them than in the past, though I think it also depends on the speakers you have. So yes the technology in all areas is better, yet people prefer online content, on average I expect. Where the danger lies, and this is what I think Rick was aiming at, is the source material -the people who choose to make original music, how, and then how it gets played. The dystopian future fear is that everything will be homogenized, that people's brains will follow suit, that Elon Musk will change his name to Tyrrell, and you won't know if your neighbour is human or android. And the sheep are electric.Quote:
