Post what you like guys, there are probably a million and one people who will tell you that what you like is wrong, but still post what you like. I didn't mean my post to be the posit of your post, so do what though wilt is of course the whole of the law.

Oh and PE: they did not listen they're not listening still: perhaps they never will. Starry night, I so love that song. His paintings were quite brilliant and it would of been nice for him to know that after he died we love them but it was not to be, he shot himself with a revolver so we are told, and we were robbed of him. In those days mental illness was not widely understood sadly.

Simon and Garfunkel anyone?

Did you know that boys would take some of his paintings out and use them for target practice with a shotgun, or so the story goes?

I like Simon and Garfunkel, I bought a record player once and that album was included.

It's a magnificent piece of music by Strauss you have to admit, regardless of it's source and whether you like Nietzsche and his novel about the ascent of man.

I think 2001 just popularised it or at least brought it before a more mainstream audience it was always something quite special, like perhaps Bachs church music or Dvorjaks New World Symphony. The list is probably endless, Tchaikovskis 1812, Bolero by Revel, Gershwins rhapsody in d minor aka Rhapsody in Blue, it's all just astoundingly gifted work. I don't think just because people saw Woody Allens film Manhatten they remember such gifted artists. If you can play that piano piece Doc, now I will be impressed... It's not quite Rakmaninov but I think you have to be pretty shit hot to play like that...

Just click on the blue text, don't worry they aint Rick rolls.

Apparently that's actually Gershwin playing that which is nice.

New World Symphony btw from a Czech composer Dvořák enamoured of the New world.

It's such a shame some nutter shot him, because along with Paul he was the most creative and musically interesting of all the Beatles, sadly we're left only with Ringo which is not a bad thing per se but octopus's garden is hardly the best song The Beatles every wrote, and I think we can get by without Thomas the Tank Engine, although not without A Little Help From Our Friends.

Yes I know Paul is still alive, but have you heard the shit he comes out with these days, just goes to show that you need a bit of competition to produce amazing music. Definitely miss Harrison too Here Comes the Sun is one of my favourite songs of all time and While My Guitar Gently Weeps is pretty magical...

[R2D2]

Hi Blags, Yes those songs are magical, my favorites too! This is a a great forum..thanks for posting! a nice change from some of the others with huge egos...

Ah Sugar Hill Gang back when the message was pure, and not about boasting about how big your dick was, or how many hos you gotta down, and whether you drive a Mayback or a tripped out 64 in black with alloy wheels and a suspension that makes your chases hip and hop.

Aye, freal man, Ali G is in da house, word up to my ah I can't do that for long, I am cornbread, I am starch I am whiter than the whitehouse and wheat on rye.

Mind you two of the whitest people on Earth doing a history of rap, I suppose it's on topic.

Seriously if you like hip hop this is one of the best videos I have ever seen.

"do you need a hand?"

I'd say he needs a lot more than a hand.

Perhaps the funniest send up I have ever seen. Ah Weird Al yes you are too white and nerdy.

Lol you gotta dig the equation in the background:



At least if you are white and nerdy.

Thanks for sharing Blaggs.... I love Leftfield! I never heard of them until now
And I laughed my ass off to weird al....I can't believe he's still around...classic

And I laughed my ass off to weird al....I can't believe he's still around...classic

There's dozens of his covers on you tube. Never went away just doesn't chart any more...

I have been listening to my cd collection again and two old chestnuts sprang to mind:

Ah the cold war what a fucked up thing to happen...

And who can forget Leon.

This song closes out the film by the way hence the relationship, although clearly the Leon or The Proffessional the movie is related in a way.

The original video, the whole album was written in a French studio and performed by some of the best artists in the world.

"Shape Of My Heart"

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect

He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
[Studio version:] The hidden law of a probable outcome
[Live version:] The hidden laws of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

He may play the Jack of diamonds
He may lay the Queen of spades
He may conceal a King in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart

And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one

But those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear a loss

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart

Poetry certainly is neither dead nor moribund.

I found this too, wow I had no idea Robert Downey Jr had so many strings to his bow...

Sting on base and support vocals. I'd sell my grandmother to see The Police perform live again, but for now this will have to do.

It's hardly my favourite band of time, or the best music of all time- but it speaks to me in a way few tracks do.

So what's yours?

Good track, but on that album, my fave is "Fell on Black Days."
