Lately I've been listening to the Cowboy Bebop OSTs (Original Sound Track). And a little of Paul Spaeth's stuff.

You can actually download both...

Paul Spaeth is at mp3.com: http://www.mp3.com/spaeth]http://www.mp3.com/spaeth

And someone has kindly provided the Cowboy Bebop OSTs at http://bebop268170.com/index2.htm]http: … index2.htm (click on Download, then Albums... PM me for the passwords to the ZIPs- I doubt any of ya are really interested anyhow).

Also, I use http://www.xmplay.com]XMPlay to play my music files. It's way better than that silly Winamp.

*I got this from the "Leo's Lyrics" web site. I'm not a huge Rolling Stones fan, but I absolutely love this song. The music is other-worldly, psychadelic -- a total trip. I've only heard it on their "Through A Glass, Darkly" album. Check out the song if you haven't heard it before (and no, it's not depressing...at least not for me, despite all the references to loneliness).

It's ear candy for spacecats.

From the album "More Hot Rocks"

2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME

(Jagger/Richards)

Sun turnin' 'round with graceful motion
We're setting off with soft explosion
Bound for a star with fiery oceans
It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years from home

Freezing red deserts turn to dark
Energy here in every part
It's so very lonely, you're six hundred light years from home

It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home

Bell flight fourteen you now can land
Seen you on Aldebaran, safe on the green desert sand
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home

Auqakah · 2003-01-04 15:45:40

I'm mostly just into blues, but jazz, rock (NOT modern), punk (NOT modern), classical, heavy metal (NOT modern), and reggae. Yup, thats right. Not modern reggae either.

Mostly I just detest modern music. But there are some great bands out there. Just wish I could get to hear them. ???

Yeah, I said 'here', before. Blame my ex-fiance. She kept beeping at me in mirc while I was typing.

Some space related songs I like:

Another girl, another planet - the Only Ones

2000 light years from home - Rolling Stones
Firmament vacation - Soundtrack of our lives
A space boy dream - Belle and Sebastian

Pat Galea · 2003-03-10 13:35:34

I don't really have any favorite 'types' of music. Just particular tracks (or bands that tend to produce good tracks).

And it also varies tremendously with mood.

Still, on the whole I prefer modern music to old stuff (pre-1990s). At the moment I enjoy songs by Avril Lavigne and Linkin Park, among many others.

I like a few more obscure groups, such as God Speed You Black Emperor.

And I also enjoy some old stuff, like Mozart's Requiem (this is my all-time favorite album, though a lot of Mozart's other stuff is bit sickly for my taste). Wagner's Tannha?ser is pretty stirring.

For background music while tidying or whatever, I listen to Country (Gruene with Envy on Live365 satisfies this nicely).

Palomar · 2003-09-16 07:29:37

*I posted the following to my "Age of Voltaire" Yahoo! Group this past weekend. I now love baroque music even better than rock 'n roll. (Gasp! Who would have thought, old metal-head me. :laugh: ):

I'm going to devote an entire post to a new CD I purchased
today: "Greatest Hits: Harpsichord" on the Sony Classics label.

I just now finished listening to the harpsichord CD. It is
wonderful, truly marvelous, and includes works by composers in not
only the 18th century, but also the 17th and 16th centuries:

Two pieces by Handel, including "The Harmonious Blacksmith" (lovely).

Anonymous -- "Greensleeves" (16th century)

Three pieces by William Byrd (1543 - 1623)

One piece by John Bull (?1562 - 1628): "The King's Hunt." This
piece has a brisk marching quality to it; what you'd expect of a
piece named "The King's Hunt."

Anonymous -- "The Nightingale" (17th century)

One piece by Giles Farnaby (1563 - 1640)

One piece by Jeremiah Clarke (1673 - 1773): "The Prince of Denmark's
March."

Two pieces by Francois Couperin (1668 - 1733). One of these, "Musete
de Choisi, No. 4" is played by two harpsichordists. There is a
constant underlying sound of bass humming throughout it, like an
underscore, on top of which is the "usual" sound of a harpsichord
(the brisk tinkling quality) -- and yet a third "layer" of sound
which reminds me of the pattering of small raindrops against a
windowpane. Two harpsichordists play this piece, according to the
pamphlet. I didn't realize the harpsichord could produce such a
variety of sounds, or styles of sounds! Of course, I'm new to
this. I've also noticed in one or two other pieces (not
Couperin's) a fluttering-like sound being produced and also
occasionally the harpsichord sounds very reminiscent of a guitar. I
carefully checked the pamphlet included in the CD: The harpsichord
is the sole instrument used in this collection. I'm delighted and
amazed at the range of effects and sounds I'm hearing.

Two pieces by Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683 - 1764). He's been
mentioned at "Age of Voltaire" before. "La poule" is particularly
energetic. I am quite certain these are the first of Rameau's music
I've heard.

One piece by Louis-Claude Daquin (1694 - 1772).

Three pieces by Dominico Scarlatti (1685 - 1757).

One piece by Mateo Albeniz (? - 1831). One of the best pieces in the
collection.

Four pieces by J.S. Bach.

One piece by W. Mozart.

One piece by Beethoven.

Two pieces by Henry Purcell (1659 - 1695); mentioned previously at
"Age of Voltaire."

Two pieces by Francois Couperin (dates of birth & death not given).

One piece by Bernardo Pasquini (1673 - 1710) which is my absolutely
favorite piece and is called "Cuckoo Toccata." True to its name,
throughout it are distinct bird-like "cuckoo" sounds, calling to one
another, -- some bass, some soprano in nature -- and at the very end
high-pitched and rapid "cuckoo's." Wow! I love it.

***

The harpsichordists who performed for this collection are:

Mr. Igor Kipnis
Mr. Thurston Dart
Mr. Anthony Newman

***

A very brief timeline is provided in the pamphlet, concerning the
origin of the harpsichord and its development:

1397: "An invention called the 'calvicembalum,' a keyboard
instrument with plucked strings, is claimed by Hermann Poll. Somehow
its English name, 'harpsichord,' is easier to pronounce."

1583: "Composer William Byrd's home is a secret gathering place for
fellow English Catholics refusing to submit to the Anglican church.
Ironically, Byrd is known for his many Anglican pieces."

1685: "King James II is crowned in England. For the coronation,
the 'royal organ maker,' Henry Purcell, provides not only an
instrument but music to play on it."

1700: "Bartolomeo Cristofori, keeper of the instruments for the
Medicis in Florence, has built what is described as a harpsichord
with 'piano e forte (soft and loud). Within a century, the
pianoforte -- shortened to piano -- will eclipse the harpsichord."
(A pity, in my opinion).

1713: "Francois Couperin publishes his first book of harpsichord
pieces. In all, he will publish an amazing 220 works for the
instrument." (Sign me up: I want to hear them all!)

1717: "Johann Sebastian Bach, in Dresden, challenges French keyboard
whiz Louis Marchand to a harpsichord playing contest. Marchand
considers, then wisely flees."

1718: "250 years before the 'boom box,' Prince Leopold of Cothen
takes music along on a trip to Carlsbad -- in the form of Bach, a
harpsichord, and five other musicians."

***

And now for the question contained in the pamphlet, gentle
readers: "To the colorful British conductor, Sir Thomas Beecham
(1879 - 1961), what did the harpsichord sound like?"

I'll wait for answers. If none are received, I'll answer later in
the week (a hint: that naughty Sir Beecham!)

*There are a few folks here my age or thereabouts. Do you remember this song?:

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/blondie/rapture.html

The first 2 paragraphs are essentially wordsalad-esque

Check out the (lengthy) part about the "Man From Mars." He's not the sort we'd want to pitch for the Mars Society, but it's a funky song.

I heard this song again after many, many years...I'd forgotten the "Man From Mars" reference. If you get a chance to listen (or RE-listen) to it, the song has a highly appreciable dance rhythm to it...some "cha-cha" elements, etc.

--Cindy

Byron · 2003-09-24 16:18:38

Yes, I remember that song...it was a good one...lol. It does have a good, almost "rappy" rhythm to it. Anyone remember the MTV video of that song?

Gosh, that was so long ago...

B

*Nope.

Actually, I'm not certain they shot a video to it; the song was released in 1980. MTV debuted in the early spring of '82, when I was 16 years old; I watched a few hours of it and hated it...stupid and contrived are the two nicest adjectives I used to describe MTV (Moron Television).

And based on what I've read and seen, it's just as stupid and contrived as always.

I guess I was an unusual 16-year-old. ::shrugs::

--Cindy

Palomar · 2003-09-24 20:19:43

Linkbisk,

*Erm...do you mean "Limp Bizkit"?

...and most everyone thinks their generation's music was the best. Frankly, I think rock 'n roll has been on life support since 1987 (when I was a young lass of 22).

It's no wonder to me that Country-Western music was wildly popular throughout the 1990s and into this current decade (although I hate CW myself)...rock 'n roll isn't giving CW a run for its money, hasn't in quite some time, and that's a damn shame.

Milady, you are perpetually a young lass, and always lovely.

As for me, I have the good sense to realize my generation's is truly some of the worst. Mozart f?r immer!

Actually, MTV was launched on August 1st, 1981, with the debut of the video "Video Killed the Radio Star." lol. I'm pretty sure the first Blondie video was "Rapture"...it was quite goofy, the way I remember it. The Devo video "Whip It" really sticks out in my mind too...that was pretty funny, with those comedic red hats.

Actually I was a big fan of MTV until I reached college...there was something about watching videos (yes, some were incredibly stupid...sometimes that was the whole point..lol,) as opposed to just listening to tapes or the radio. But beginning in the late '80's, MTV broke away from its all-video format, which killed it in my opinion, and of course, the music went downhill too. Another thing I miss was those cute little cartoon promos of the Moon landings they inserted between some of the videos...

The memories of youth never fade, do they?...

Palomar · 2003-09-25 05:35:20

Byron: "Actually, MTV was launched on August 1st, 1981,"

*I'll trust YOUR memory on that count. I don't remember seeing it until early spring 1982 (my folks didn't have cable TV connections, just the regular 3 and PBS). I have a very definite memory connected to it, involving a friend and her boyfriend, but we won't go into that here!

Byron: "with the debut of the video "Video Killed the Radio Star."

*The Buggles!! How ironic, actually I think video killed the rock 'n roll star.

Byron: "lol. I'm pretty sure the first Blondie video was "Rapture"...it was quite goofy, the way I remember it. The Devo video "Whip It" really sticks out in my mind too...that was pretty funny, with those comedic red hats."

*Yeah, LOL! Have you seen commercials for "The Swiffer," that mop cleaner by Johnson & Johnson (I think?). They're using "Whip It," but of course changing the words. I'll never forget how SKINNY the lead singer was; he looked like Buddy Holly with, yes, those kooky red hats. I was always into heavy metal, though I would listen to the "softer stuff," especially if it had a unique flare to it (which quite a bit of music in the early to mid-80s did).

Byron: "Actually I was a big fan of MTV until I reached college...there was something about watching videos (yes, some were incredibly stupid...sometimes that was the whole point..lol,) as opposed to just listening to tapes or the radio. But beginning in the late '80's, MTV broke away from its all-video format, which killed it in my opinion, and of course, the music went downhill too. Another thing I miss was those cute little cartoon promos of the Moon landings they inserted between some of the videos..."

*I've just always listened to the music.

Byron: "The memories of youth never fade, do they?...

"

*Whaddya mean, "of youth", as if it's past tense?!

And thanks for the compliments, Spider-Man.

The Wonderful World of Baroque Music

*This is such a lovely, wonderful genre of music. I've fallen totally in love with it. Enjoy the web site, and try to obtain some of the music if you can.

.......

A couple of personal recommendations from me (which are NOT available for sale at the above web site, but should be obtainable via your local Barnes & Noble or Amazon.com):

1. "The Best of Vivaldi" on the Naxos label.

2. "Corelli: Violin Sonatas, Op.5" on the Production USA label.

3. "Johann Sebastian Bach: The Sacred Cantatas, Famous Choruses" on the Teldec label.

4. "A Baroque Festival" on the Infinity Digital label (collection of various Baroque composers).

5. "The Best of Handel" on the Philips label.

If you're wondering why I'm not including something by Mozart, it's because the Baroque era of music officially ended with the death of J.S. Bach, in 1750. Mozart was born in 1756, and is considered a Classical composer.

--Cindy

::EDIT:: You can listen to free music samples at the web site also! The download time is brief and the sound quality is excellent.
