O no...

Here I go... A buddy of mine and I each made a list of songs we can't stop listening to... like just hitting repeat after repeat after repeat etc etc

Golden Brown is one of mine...


@Scepticalscribe look what you've done... lol
A superb song (one of my personal favourites) and a compelling video, (which I well remember) also.....it very much captures that somewhat louche sense one gets in some features of the (British) interwar world (The English Patient, the Alexandria Quartet, etc) abroad.

Bach’s Missa Brevis - which autocorrect hates so it took like a minute to type that.

Anyway, highly underrated and all four are worth a listen! Transcribed the Kyrie from the Mass in F tonight.
I'll have to look that up. I'm ashamed to admit I was wondering who Brevis was and I heard the title "Missa Brevis" in Jar Jar's voice. :oops: I will go whip myself with a wet noodle.

Currently listening to it on my phone on Apple Music Classical, Bach-Collegium from Stuttgart. Wonderful!
See if you can find the Collegium Vocale Gent version. That's my favorite version. It's conducted and performed at a really slow tempo. I feel like all the other versions are too fast.

EDIT: I'm talking specifically about the Mass in F, but the other ones are equally great!

Spent my entire lesson today listening to Charles Ives. WOW!! Wish I could just put my life and the passage of time on pause, and listen to every second of every one of his pieces, then time could resume again.

Oh my god, yall need to hear his quarter-tone piano pieces! They're actually sickening, but in literally the best way possible. I absolutely love them!!

"General William Booth Enters Into Heaven" - another Ives piece!

EDIT: The one that comes up when you first search it (on YouTube at least) is absolutely awful! So find a better version! The one from the San Francisco Symphony is good.
