Moderators Lee Knight Posted March 13, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 13, 2015 Friday the 13th? Reading Gladwell's David and Goliath reminds us of what a kick in the ass adversity can be. How acheivers typically don't come from wealth and privilege but more frequently from one parent, low income, dyslexic friction. From adversity! So dig the adversity and shine like the champion you are! Yay you! _______ The wife came to me and asked, "Heard Cat Edmonson yet?!?!?" The first ting that came to mind was not that Blue had turned us all on to her a while back, but rather that I'd need to be cool and not let on about my sex fantasies with the aformentioned pixie godess. Best not to share with the wife. And hey, it's a personal taste issue so just leave it. Reminds me of an old flame. The third thing that came to mind was how really good she is. Here she is in modern stripped down pop mode a la Jason Mraz et al. I love it. Jazz Singer Cat Edmonson: coming to the attention of your wives, husbands or sig others via the mainstream. Pretty great. So cast your troubles into the skyThey can be the stars in our eyesAnd we can count them on another dayFrom far away Life is just a dreamLucky youLucky lucky me [video=youtube;68xjjR5ztoQ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rsadasiv Posted March 13, 2015 Members Share Posted March 13, 2015 Been thinking about the Blurred Lines copyright decision. Not fond of the rapey lyric, but I think this is a dangerous legal precedent to set: http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/know-your-7-4-million-beef-robin-thicke-pharrell-and-blurred-lines-vs-the-estate-of-marvin-gaye/ Robin Thicke's lawyer should never have allowed this to happen: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/custom/Documents/ESQ/robinthickedepo.pdf My mashup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pianos! The city did this the summer before last (I think) where they set up pianos all over New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two songs are indeed two different songs. It's like politicians weighing in on climate change. No expertise in the field what-so-ever yet boldly (and stupidly) making decisions on the matter.

Are these playable pianos? Or weather proofed props? Either way it's pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LCK Posted March 13, 2015 Members Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think they got it wrong. The two songs are indeed two different songs. I haven't listened to them. But unless there's a specific spot in the song where the notes in the melody are exactly the same they could win on appeal. Now this song was really outright plagiarized by Jimmy Page. [video=youtube;P1g7qFaWaLk] And the chorus of this one was also a definite case of plagiarism by the composer of "Hello Dolly," even though he only copied 8 notes.

Members oldgitplayer Posted March 13, 2015 Members Share Posted March 13, 2015 We are organic food nutters so we go to a local farmers market every week to buy all our produce.There are always 2 or 3 buskers scattered around the place, and sometimes there's a guy playing a Chapman Stick.I had never seen or heard one until then. I think they are amazing instruments.They are played by fret tapping.Here's an example: [video=youtube;dYKB6Lag-wg] It still blows me away that George was only 25 when he wrote this song.

Members LCK Posted March 14, 2015 Members Share Posted March 14, 2015 A bare-bones version of "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams, who was a guitarist, composer, and comedy writer for the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in the late 1960s, and, later, for Saturday Night Live. The tune was a radio hit in 1968, with string orchestra, horns, etc. [video=youtube;JeHgNqbdBKs] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the duo's website: NPR called the album "effortless and beautiful," naming it one of the year's best That describes them all right, "effortless and beautiful..." Very nice pick, Bee.

Members bee3 Posted March 18, 2015 Members Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah. They're really great. Found them because someone recommended them in the YouTube comments of a Milk Carton Kids video. We live in a cool age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
