Ive been digging on Babymetal lately.

Along with some classic KoRN, and Nirvana

Been hitting the new They Might Be Giants album pretty hard lately. It's far from their best or most interesting album, but as long as they can turn out a catchy, upbeat tune with a chorus like "We die alone/We die afraid/We live in terror/We're naked and alone/And the grave is the loneliest place," I will continue to be on-board with them.

I've discovered Isao Tomita and now I can't stop listening, I've been on a binge for the entire night

If anyone's wondering, I did discover him through the Prophecies of Nostradamus soundtrack

There's obviously no wrong way to listen to "Dance this Mess Around," but the close-ups of Cindy Wilson in this live performance really help to sell the genuine emotional oomph of the superficially silly song, making this one of the many, many right ways to listen to "Dance this Mess Around."

Admittedly, I'm listening to this through the walls, as my 4-year-old has had it on loop at full volume for over an hour...

[Gojira1604]

This concert was one of a classical orchestra with typical instruments I see everyday in the practice room. However, the concert also featured throughout its sections singers not only in choir but in the jazz section as well in a combo of woodwinds, brass, percussion, piano and singing. Songs like I wanna be like you and L-O-V-E performed combos.
Repetition I found most prominent in the piece Song for my Father. Consistent beats from the percussion. No long phrases detectable as an audience member as the main melodies were forte and short. The trumpets and saxophones had these sort of parts in the piece. Again back to repetition in this piece I noted how towards the end the song goes back to the melody starting the song's first minutes. This is after divugling to some different tune in the middle of the piece. After its departure from the beginning's melody the song goes back to it from its middle section with seemless flow by the players.
When it came to interpretation my imagination was always coming up with whatever scenarios my mind accosiated with the song I was listening to. Particularly with the concert's first piece Down by the River to Pray the choir' singing brought to me a vivid image. One of two young people, merilly strolling through a field of delicate, waving tall grasses around them. The two people are having a conversation the girl insisting they go to a nearby stream to do their praying. I imagine several other of the towns people, all adorning fanciful old time suits and gowns, coming around to the edges of the river to join to pair in the serenic field to partake as a collective the the richeous activity of prayer.
This piece gave me a more moving sensation than compared to many of the lot of other pieces in the concert but the most striking emotionally to me were I think Shanedoah and Balllade. The explanation on the song's background as a dedication to someone who had died due to cancer was a moving review and I think prompted not only the players to garner our full abilities in playing the song but granted us a more attentive audience now fully as invested as we were in the song we played. Those songs and all others I think granted everyone a riveting and genuinely great musical experience. The concert was among the best I've ever attended and performed at. Now so of my favorite pieces were Armed Forces and Scarborough Fair as those were admittedley bias, some of the one I played abd I think very well along with my peers. The song A Song for my Father was however also among my favorites of the event. As much as I did enjoy all the variety of all the amazing performances that night had to offer, those three pieces were definitely the one's that stuck out to me amongst the rest of the the very hi mr.raman
