LOL!

I wasn't quite born yet, but had always read about that performance.

And, lo and behold, there it was on youtube!

[Caramelgal]

Thanks. I enjoyed that. I admit to not listening to a lot of opera anymore but I grew up with it since my mother studied and sang for awhile until she met my daddy and became mommy to me and my brother.

[BenLurkin]

That is a fun clip.

Grerat link!

Did you ask about Rickie Lee Jones last week?

Why yes I did. I have always liked her voice and thought she was so hot.

[andyssister]

Thank you!! Adrian is so cool. :)

And Downtown Julie Brown! What a blast from the past.

I'll check out Jennifer Knapp tomorrow whilst spring cleaning.

[I see my hands]

A beautiful voice, a beautiful woman.

Superb — and seeing see great Herbert von Karajan conducting is an added bonus.

[andyssister]

She is amazing. Thanks for the link.

Ok, I just found this one:

Let me know what you think.

For some reason that made me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHF2qQjnkI0

(Ignore the first 6 seconds)

The haunting vocal arrangement and in particular the wonderful mellow guitar work mesh seamlessly with her velvety voice.

From what is becoming my new favorite album of the year.

Dinosaur Jr. (not the best song on the album but the only one on YouTube)

[andyssister]

I love Dinosaur Jr. Saw them many years ago at a HORDE festival.

They put on a great live show.

In honor of peroxide...

Blondie-Hanging On the Telephone

Missing Persons-Words

Great album by Natalie Merchant. 10 years ago. She hasn’t done much since. I’m going to look on YouTube for her “Jealousy”

We should really start supporting the conservative alternative to the leftwing google and make it THE place for videos:

I think it was truly beautiful.

Thanks

In terms of 21st century music I offer these 2 homemade videos of Namie Amuro — one an instrumental cover that I kinda like a little better.

Of course "Alarm" is her opus magnus.
