What Song Are You Listening to Now?

Recommended Posts

A film on how the Stones produced "Sympathy for the Devil" has reappeared at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rohaZ8mB1zE . I think it was taken down due to objecting to the traffic generated here from my thumbnail, so I omit thumbnail this time. It seems one of the best re-edits of a famous flawed documentary.

Consider how the group there is navigating towards a $1billion net worth, instead of the usual bankruptcy from agents or management. Jagger is from a media savvy family, as can be seen from his young appearance on his father's TV show below. Note on the documentary how he gently but firmly substitutes two group members who can't get their job done on that song.

 

P.S.Here is newly higher resolution Roman songs Miles Gloriosus and Comedy Tonight

Cuban music = afro beat + euro glide

 

If you can switch into "youtube music premium" mode, this Indian piece rises to ethereal levels. Oops, maybe that triggers a month free trial.

P.S. Here is the premium version https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=jmxtgU7--ps&feature=share

Awakening - Vaishnav Janato

Indian stuff is great but when it comes to awakening I somehow prefer the older classical Yes 🙂🙄

The premium version of my Cuban post above appears to be at https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=onwoLbL2OZY&feature=share but I suspect it often gets downshifted into regular version. When the stars align right it can sound like each player is swinging on a separate pendulum overhead. The Indian one in particular rises from tame to sparkling on a high end laptop (or maybe headphones?). On my nearly high end laptop it sounds tame and flat.

I wish we could sort out a common youtube strategy for using their music mode or radio mode. I get these for no (extra) cost but others maybe cannot. I can't even figure out music.youtube terminology, which seems changeable anyway, so someone more knowledgeable is welcome to advise.

Isn't the above scene where an assassin shoots darts at Sellers and keeps hitting innocents? Sounds morbid but done in funny way.

The above costars Marisa Allasio, the most beguiling actress in history methinks. I am waiting for her marriage into royalty to dissolve and to start dating that 87yr old countess.

Fred Astaire became my favorite actor in history after attending film festivals devoted to him in Europe. His singing voice is feeble, thus the hard rock overdub above.

I was worried some of my picks were idiosyncratic, but this topic is what am "I" listening to. And the view and comment counts of the following are stratospheric, so why aren't "you" listening too?

Following is a mashup(?) of Brubeck's Take 5, the most popular jazz recording ever made. The sound has been warped into more contemporary song vs the old one being legendary but too familiar to some. This has almost 8M views and 8k comments!

That derived from the 26M views and 13k comment video https://youtu.be/tT9Eh8wNMkw which has a long pleasant meandering take at https://youtu.be/G27qErb6R-k . Brubeck did not fall into typical jazz player addictions, but was a WW2 vet with 6 kids brought up in a 70 year marriage. Died not too long ago in his 90s.
