Michael P Clark Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I thought someone would have caught the Skynyrd reference, but today was the day their plane crashed, and Lead singer, Ronnie Van Zant guitarist/vocalist Steve Gaines, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines (Steve's older sister), assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray were all killed as a result of the crash, in 1977.

S Harber Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 James Brown and the Famous Flames Live at the Apollo 1962. Love this live performance. You can hear James go off mic and keep singing. In my mind it's when he goes through the fainting section of the show. Chills me every time.

VASI Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 May Roosevelt Influenced by the very reverend trinity of Bach, Bjork and Klaus Nomi, May Roosevelt is an extraordinary thereminist, composer and producer with a sense for good, old-fashioned drama. Her classical arrangements will give you the shivers (or, at the very least, remind you of movies that gave you the shivers), with nods to early industrial or electronic music and a passing resemblance to the god of thunder behind a theremin. Like many people, she got into music via her first Casio synth as a kid. If her knack for otherworldly sounds is anything to go by, that Casio must have been possessed by some very restless and musical ghosts. Discography HAUNTED (2011) PANDA, A STORY ABOUT LOVE AND FEAR (2009) HAUNTED "Haunted": The Strange Musical Case of May Roosevelt May Roosevelt's new album "Haunted" opens doors to phantoms of the past. The work's eight musical compositions are supernatural entities of modern technology that hover in the air, bursting open the chest of rustic tradition only to be transformed into rhythms of Greek dances. Following "Panda, a story about love and fear", composer and thereminist May Roosevelt uncovers a dark and reclusive universe defined by motion and dance. "Haunted" starts with the zeibekiko dance rhythm in 'The Unicorn Died', which was composed and presented for the first time in London at the Red Bull Music Academy in February 2010. The original idea evolved through an intense speculation about the place held by traditional Greek rhythms in the canon of Greek electronic music. This exploration subsequently led to the creative transformation of eight different Greek dances presented in "Haunted". The Theremin, a very complex instrument yet absolutely submissive to the hands of May Roosevelt, was used to create a plethora of curious sounds ranging from wind and stringed instruments to an imitation of human voice. The Theremin's unique sound also shifted from a bagpipe (in 'Oomph') to a Pontic Lyre (in 'Mass Extermination'), and from a clarinet (in 'Vow') into a violin (in 'Dark the Night'). Through the use of electronic beats to form each rhythm alongside synthesizers and vocals, May Roosevelt attempts to embed anew Greek musical idioms within contemporary music while retaining all their respectable characteristics. The title "Haunted" - inspired by the idea of hauntology, introduced by French philosopher Jacques Derrida - defines the concept and underscores the character of the compositions: The phantoms of the past and the spirit of future, mingled, haunt the music of May Roosevelt.

Olle Sjostrom Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 James Blake, insanely talented. This is a cover of Joni Mitchell's A Case of you, which in its original rendition is also genius; And right after listening to this tune, I must listen to this track as well. Joni is a goddess.
