What are you listening to Part Two

[Voltron]

Fucking elk ghosts are so needy.

Now playing on SACD:

Dead Can Dance -- In the Realm of a Dying Sun

[Voltron]

It is the MFSL of that. I have all of them.

Morton Subotnick - And the Butterflies Begin to Sing (1997)

As it should be. note: never heard of the above people

I'll bet. I hate that none of the soloists of today measure up to even half of what the greats were (no offense to them).

Kanye's newest album. Have to compare it against some Mozart. Not Mozart opera, that would make me want to kill myself.

[mypasswordis]

Based on my experiences, I wouldn't agree with you. There are so many people (the vast majority) in grade school who play an instrument just to have something to write on their resume. And most music graduates from my uni don't end up with jobs in music. I don't see how they could.

Edit: No, haven't heard of him. But he's a DeLay student, which is funny because that's what 90% of people from that era (the era before DeLay died) write on their resumes, even if they only had 2 or 3 lessons with her. I'm sure he's a decent violinist, more or less.

Still not sure I agree with you. The orchestra I have the most experience with is obviously the NSO, I studied under the co-concert mistress or whatever her position is, she was okay but not great, and I would say the same about the orchestra.

We should find a cellist and a pianist and get that Messiaen quartet thing going.

[mypasswordis]

Yeah, I definitely feel like I need six months of hard work, no engineering bullshit getting in the way, to actually get good. And sure, that'd be great.

[luvdunhill]

I guess I was a DeLay student then. Might as well add Galamian on there too.

(checks are you drunk thread)

[Dusty Chalk]

Have to compare it against some Mozart.

Tristania - Beyond the Veil (cover probably nsfw)

[Torpedo]

I wonder how the KW new disc got a 10 points review at Pitchfork Like numbers said it's more or less OK, but IMHO not much more than that. Or I'm growing very very old and hate when other musician's compositions are used to make money with pop music.

Now listening to

Gustav Mahler - 8th Symphony (Solti, CSO, Popp, Kollo...)

[Torpedo]

Duffy - Endlessly

Her slow fluttering vibrato is starting to annoy me. Don't know really want to think.

[Torpedo]

Shit, don't know how it happened but double post. Oh well, then this one which you probably don't know and have listened this morning too

One thing I think is that they sure have softened her looks for that cover.

[Torpedo]

She looks thinner on recent pics
