How about a 'little' Yes:

Yes - "Heart of the Sunrise"

Great intro that will forever on now always remind me of the strip bar scene from the movie "Buffalo 66"

Totally! I have every pre-80s Yes vinyl and loved that flick--left that impression with me as well.

Also, gj on King C. Good stuff!

Victor Borge - Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. Very amusing.

Joan Osborne and Melissa Etheridge singing Etheridge's Bring Me Some Water

Joan and Melissa tear it the hell up.

This video has been viewed over 9 millions times so I doubt I'm breaking any news here but this is the song/dance lady that inspired the nightelf dance in WoW:

Alizee

If you want to cut to the chase, skip to 3:20!

Only good thing to come out of WoW is me watching this video. One of the few good French things as well.

Never heard of Alizee but I assume she's hugely popular in parts of he world. Her legs remind me more of Lineage II than WoW!

Edit: on a sidenote, I happened to use up a bottle of whipped cream tonight so I did a whipit (sucked the last lungful or nitrous oxide out of the can), making this video twice as good!

Was catching up on episodes of Coverville (a podcast that specializes in covers of various songs) and heard this. It is Last Town Chorus covering David Bowie's Modern Love. Very different, but cool take on the song.

GEORGE JONES - (YABBA DABBA DOO) THE KING IS GONE
I can only take George Jones in limited amounts, this is a good one.

I don't know much about jazz but this girl's voice sounds awesome to me:

Nikki Yanofsky - Ella...Of Thee I Swing

I downloaded the Live album above and it's pretty amazing.

I think she's 15 when singing the live album above.


Not sure if 13 in this one below. Either way, impressive for a kid!

Airmail Special

Above is from French TV show. She's one of "those" people in Canada. From the interview afterwards, it looks like English is first language but knows French well.

More of a Live performance:

Nikki Yanofsky at the 2008 Montreal Jazz Festival

The Pharcyde - Drop.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KTF3eqtxgY&NR=1

I'm not sure if this is been posted before, but this is an old-school video by Spike Jonze (Being John Malcovich, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Adaptation). Great group, great song, great video.

Iron & Wine - Boy With A Coin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLNyVLbq ... re=related

Love the dancing in the vid

Three hours later, three bloodied fingers and I'm 3% closer to learning the tabs to that song.

Chicago - Saturday in the Park

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTFD1C4tVIg

A classic, feel good tune if you asked me!

Lo Fi Allstars - Battleflag

(NWS language)

that song is sooooo senior year at HS for me

Since I posted the other one in the wrong thread, here's some Beausoliel:

Passion Pit - The Reeling. I don't know why I like it, buy it just is a catchy song and reminds me of the 80's.

Live recording of Malvina Reynolds. Born in 1900. Lyrics are simple and profound.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sooNNv9 ... re=related

From the same episode. Pete Seeger covering Melvina's song, Little Boxes. (if you watched Weeds you'll recognize it). It may sound cheesy to some of us, but the lyrics are actually pretty strong for the times.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN3rN59G ... re=related

If anyone can find this series on DVD I'll bear your children!

Pete Seeger and Malvina Reynolds were pretty radical at the time, both spent years under FBI surveillance.

My best friend from 1st grade is now a fucking brilliant violinist. Here's a clip of him doing electric violin for the band he's in called Handful of Lovin'. I don't think the rest of the band is even close to his level of talent, but just listen for his violin.

Check out the clip. The first instrument you hear is him plucking away at electric violin. He's classically trained, but he can also use the instrument like a lead guitarist might.

Is that Ashton Kutcher?

School of Seven Bells. Guy from Secret Machines and a pair of hot identical twins with angelic voices making some beautiful shoegazy music...

Glen Hansard - Say it to me now (Van Morrison song? not sure)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXRwplFTh_Y

After posting a few times in the American Idol thread, I figured I'd post a song here. I know most don't listen to this kind of music, but oh well!

Lupe Fiasco - Hip Hop Just Saved My Life

Glen Hansard - Say it to me now (Van Morrison song? not sure)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXRwplFTh_Y

Pretty sure Hansard wrote that song while with The Frames.

Great song!

My friend jamming out on electric violin...

Watch the whole thing. He starts with classic violin sounds and evolves to something that sounds like a lead guitarist in a classic rock band...

Ah great, it is a really lovely song

Yeah it is. The whole soundtrack to Once is friggin amazing.

Glen Hansard and his costar from the film are also in a band called The Swell Season. I'm not sure if the movie or band came first, but their first album shares some songs with the film soundtrack.

This is, in my mind, one of their best songs:

Still....I dare any of you to find a better song.

John Butler - Oceans.

I think it's virtually impossible to find a bad John Butler Trio song.

John Butler has disgusting fingers.

Toumani Diabate is one of my all-time favorite musicians. The kora is an awesome instrument...
