Musical stuff

Musical stuff

As a number of members appear to be involved with music in one form or another I thought a discussion area for this type of material might be appropriate. This can include anything you like. A new song you've discovered, a concert you really enjoyed, information you've discovered. The sky's the limit.

@Appleblossom

Personally I wouldn't touch Zenon unless they've improved dramatically in the last few years. My recommendation for a baroque bass would be an Aulos 533B (E). They're still not cheap but I had a quick look at eBay au and there's a few on there. I recommend one with a crook to ensure body comfort. Wooden instruments if they're cheap I wouldn't touch with a barge pole. If you're determined to have wood the look at Moeck. I've no idea what they cost now but you'd probably need to rob the mint.

Have a great day.

Re: Musical stuff

I am really digging SBTRKT at the moment. Especially the song 'Hold On' that features Sampha.

What are others into at the moment?

Re: Musical stuff

Some lyrics from Jay Z that I've always loved. I've always put them in the context of mental illness and the idea of self rather than money:

No matter where you go, you are what you are player
And you can try to change but that's just the top layer
Man, you was who you was 'fore you got here
Only God can judge me, so I'm gone
Either love me, or leave me alone

What's really cool here is that you can read the God line literally or because Jay Z refers himself as Jehovah earlier in the song the line can also mean that only you can judge yourself and not others. I tend to read it both ways.

Pretty cool, huh?

Re: Musical stuff

Hey @comet. I have a spare computer lying around I'd give to you in a heartbeat. Pity it's impossible to do (different states doesn't help either) Mind you my computer 6yrs old hasn't survived the move, it died yesterday. Looks like I'll have to rebuild it. I built it for Christmas for the kids 6 years so it did really well considering. I'm really glad you like the music. It's always a bit scary to put music tastes out into the open. I pretty much use Spotify to find new music. I'm thinking you are ok today. I hope so after your rough patch. Sending hugs as always (and is now mandatory) 😊💜

Re: Musical stuff

Thanks heaps @Former-Member. Sometimes I try so hard not to need help or attention or affection. Today I'm just throwing myself out here. Think I'll have that Cuppa with you. Thanks for your kind words too. Sending hugs back😊💜
