Widor's Toccata

Two sublime pieces, both of which sound best when played in an Cathedral.

 

Very cool on a hot evening. Made me think of Booker T's Green Onions

But since this is a watch forum I keep coming back to the Van Halen song "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" and that line "you may have all you want baby but I got somethin' you need" aka that dammned Omega that I still didn't get my mitts on yet.

 

Ute Lemper and some Yo Yo Ma today

 

Some random dudes named Sean Lennon and Les Claypool. Apparently one plays the Bass well the others Dad did something or another.

 

Currently spinning Radiohead

 

A bit pissed off today. This makes me relax

 

Never heard of 'em, but hell yeh. Pretty much any Metallica will also do if you're in this sort of mood. Or you're just facing irritating bureaucracy then how about another Van Halen gem: "Fools"?

 

One or two VH albums is always on my playlist. Actually I was listening to F.U.C.K. while I was driving home from work today.

 

Van Halens debute album is iconic, didnt rest in the sleeve for months some 37 years ago!

 

Had almost forgotten how good BOC are. Here's a sample

 

For some unknown reason I've been really digging The Mamas and The Papas lately. I have their digibook box set you can see at 0:21 and 2:49 in this video. The video's not so hot but the song speaks to me.

 

Bought this on heavy vinyl last winter. Still trying to decide if I like it.

 

Dvořák, Antonín, Symphony No 7 in D minor, B141 (Op 70)
Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Johannes Fritzsch (conductor)
