Thread: what are you listening to???

Oh, i love me some movie scores. Some of my favs,,,

I don't know why, but this song has a very special meaning to me. I might have posted it before, apologies if so, and to those that hate Springsteen.

On to movie scores, this is one of my favorites:



I think it was also in a war movie - can't remember the name. Charlie Sheen was in it.

That song doesnt really do anything for me personally but i dont mind some of his stuff. I still love the song "Im on Fire" a lot and "Philadelphia" "Dancing in the Dark", and "BITUSA".

His old stuff is incredible. Rosalita, Backstreets, Born to Run, and my personal favorite, Pink Cadillac.

I like Prokofiev a lot. He's got three pillars in my book. Kind of stuff in the classical realm that would appeal to prog rock fans if you can stand the instrument.



(I saw Yuja play that live, she's a trip. But Argerich is the best. The women play it better.)

His war sonatas are definitely an acquired taste type thing, but worth the effort. The whole #8 is solid, and #7 and 9 are next, but the catchy part is at 19:48 or so if you don't want to invest the time. Richter is by far the best at Prokofiev.



His piano concertos are pretty baller, kinda weird some of them, but #3 is a real crowd pleaser. A deep listen if you are the art-rock or prog type music listener.

I mean, damn. Tell me I'm wrong. I'm not. So freaking good.

Listening now. That part at ~6mins in of the 3d concerto. Might be one of the best in music ever.

Hey, if you are really indifferent and don't want to click any of those, expect you are right that it's boring, weird, or a waste of your time, check this out, it's super short.

I imagine you listening to that whilst receiving a nine line, changing course and hosing down some baddies.

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp.

You listen to Gem too?

Soundgarden was my favorite band 20 years ago. I use to love Chris Cornell. I quit listening because I didn’t like how it affected me.

Cornell's voice was generational. I thought about him today. I feel like some people just are more prone to being melancholy or whatever, they can be pretty special because of how they naturally try to fill that void through achievement and such. Was listening to some Soundgarden at the gym. Man they blended blues and grunge into a secret sauce. I still listen to that, but not as much PJ or any of the other stuff these days.

That is probably what I should do. I seek out certain forms of art and it may or may not be positive overall to my well being. I think you are a wise man and I respect you.

Pretty disappointed by the new Smashing Pumpkins album. I only liked one track on it and it was this one which they actually have a vid for.
