Sometimes it's more obvious, but sometimes it's not... Have another one: ...

Cool! M-Taku starts out briefly with some Smooth Jazz and then suddenly picks up the beat with Hip Hop Jazz Fusion (Nu Jazz) for most of the duration of the song with another brief interlude of Smooth Jazz followed by a brief return to the beat which is then finished off at the end with some Smooth Jazz. It's like he took my mind on a roller coaster ride! Thanks for sharing!

Agreed. Hiromi must have been practicing for years and further fine honing her skills over time. She has everything "Down pat" and even closes her eyes and lifts up her head as though she's just "feeling" the keyboard rather than playing it! It's as though "She and the piano keyboard are one" (Just like Stevie Wonder, except she's not physically blind).


I'm listening to "Don't worry, Be Happy" by famous Jazz vocalist Bobby McFerrin -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-diB65scQU

Ah, it sounds like you're into songs that are or could be in dark musicals as well! I enjoyed Michael Crawford's performance of "Music of the Night" in "The Phantom of the Opera" back in the late '80s -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5dhyiqhR7Y. The official video is here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNrkY8X8qyE. The first one is a little bit longer at 5:14 so it has more footage, though a slightly worse visual quality recording (240p) than the official 360p one which is at 3:08.


I'm listening to "My Way" by Calvin Harris -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4Bj7Zb-YD4 (It has a nice reference to "The Matrix").

I feel so ashamed to not have replied here sooner. Music is a big passion of mine.

So, I am known by most as a lover of old stuff. I keep the legacy of the greater ones of the past high. I mostly listen to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabath, Jimmi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Guns n Roses, stuff in that direction. I am very passionate about how you do not have to like what they made, but at least you should know and respect them. I do enjoy every single one of those bands.

As for this moment, I am listening to a song made by a perished idol of mine. "Lazarus" by David Bowie, who I still miss very much.

You have nothing to be ashamed about. Nobody is obligated to express their interests in music here. Peeps should only do so whenever they feel like sharing!

Speaking for myself as a child of the eighties, I've enjoyed Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in The Wall", Guns N' Roses' "You Could be Mine" (Straight from "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" and later in a BGM cameo in "Terminator Salvation" but I also liked "Sweet Child O' Mine", "Welcome to the Jungle", "Paradise City" and "November Rain"). Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin were a little before my time, so unfortunately, I've haven't listened to any of their songs (Back then in the eighties like most other kids where I lived, I tended to listen to the current mainstream music that was being played in general though I know that both bands paved the way for future Hard Rock and Heavy Metal bands to flourish. I'm not saying what genre each band might be in are since I know that there is an ongoing debate among fans of each band as to what genre of rock each band belongs - IMHO, it depends upon each listener to make that decision). I know of electric guitarist Jimi Hendrix (He was very famous in the sixties but way before my time). Unfortunately, my only recollection of his music is from times when it plays in the background in movies that depict scenes in the war in Vietnam (e.g. "Purple Haze" -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJunCsrhJjg) with Huey helicopters flying overhead but that fact that it is included in such movies is a testament to his fame in the sixties.

For those who may wish to know, the official music video of David Bowie's "Lazarus" can be seen here. It was one of his last songs before he passed away from liver cancer early last year. It's sad (He looked so frail in that video) and eerie (Since he knew he was dying when he made that video). It's a far cry from when I remembered him as a vibrant young man, full of life in the eighties singing in a duet with Mick Jagger in "Dancing in the Street" -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G4jnaznUoQ. May he rest in peace.


Ironically, I'm listening to "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" by Glass Tiger -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx6_-urg5fo

Oh, so you're into instrumental electric guitar music as well? Cool! I occasionally like to listen to Joe Satriani's songs like "Always with me, Always with you" -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI57QHL6ge0.


I'm listening to "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdqoNKCCt7A

[Ryuko Matoi]

Joe Satriani and Simple minds huh? Sounds like somebody has good taste. I tend to love "The Belfast Child" from Simple minds.

At the moment I am listening to "All Along The Watchtower" by the one and only guitar god himself. Jimmi Hendrix.

Here's a "Heads up" to the peeps out there: The official audio (Audio with still video) of Jimmi Hendrix's "All Along The Watchtower" can be found at -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLV4_xaYynY.


Another icon of the sixties whose music is portrayed as a representative embodiment of the sixties culture in modern movies that are set in that era is Jefferson Airplane with their famous song "White Rabbit" -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejKUJu9xct4. I knew them in the eighties as Jefferson Starship or Starship with their hit songs like "Nothing gonna stop us Now" -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wxyN3z9PL4, "We Built this City" -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1b8AhIsSYQ and "Sara" -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32ScTb6_KHg. You can read how they reinvented themselves from Jefferson Airplane to Jefferson Starship here -> http://ultimateclassicrock.com/jeffe...ship-starship/.


Is anyone else into girl bands? I'm listening to "Eternal Flame" by The Bangles -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSoOFn3wQV4.
