What are you listening to?

Earlier I was listening to Béla Bartók "String Quartet No. 5", on the record player.

You Tube being amazing, they have all of Bartók's String Quartet's uploaded.

The painting in the background of course, this is Wassily Kandinsky's "Composition VIII" from 1923, Kandinsky's early Bauhaus period....I love Kandinsky, one of my favourite artists.

This is the Allegro from "String Quartet No. 5":



Then I listened to Imarhan, who are Tuareg from Algeria and are on City Slang Records which is owned and run by some friends of our's in Berlin:

City Slang Records

Imarhan

The whole Imarhan album is completely astonishing.

This is Imarhan's song "Tahabort" which is amazing, incredibly intricate guitar work and in general just extraordinary noise, they're on tour throughout Europa this month and also March, we must go and watch them do their thing:



Edited to add comment.


Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats "Rocket 88" released as a 10" 78rpm in 1951 on Chess Records the B Side is "Come Back Where You Belong"

The Delta Cats were actually Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm. Jackie Brenston himself was in the Kings of Rhythm, he was saxophonist.

 
This thread is like the Juke Box threads but no worries, music is good whenever and wherever it is!

I listen to the entire spectrum at different times.

Now I dislike 98% of country music but there are a few songs that I really like. By the way I don't say grace and I don't say maam, but I like the HWJ song alot. Two I like. Have to love the sound of a steel string guitar with new strings.

Don't like 99% of rap, but this I like one.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I love 99% of all classical music. It is the height of human musical genius. Some of it is so good you wonder how a human being imagined it.

Edvard Grieg: Peer Gynt Suite No.1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

And as a rock guitarist there are many favorites. The Scorpion guitar solos are ridiculously good, and the solos in Comfortably Numb are about as close as pop music comes to an ethereal level.

Rock you like a hurricane with lyrics - scorpions
Reelin' In The Years
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (with lyrics)
Yellow Ledbetter with Lyrics - Pearl Jam

Many more in all genres, far too many to list or post. If the music is original and pure I'm there.
