http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/a8/51/fbed224128a02b8b70ada010.L._AA300_.jpg
From: Mutter, Year: 2001
Genre: Neue Deutsche Härte

I really needed some Rammstein to listen to this evening; I decided on this nice rousing tune off of the Mutter album for today's pick.
From what I've read about this track, it was written in response to all of the crap the band gets from ignorant individuals accusing them of being a "Nazi metal band." In the song they go as far as to say they are on the other end of the spectrum.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.

    Nazi metal band? What a horrible and ignorant thing to say about that nice, wholesome group that did that Barbie Girl song!

6763. The Alan Parsons Project - I Robot

-
Image
From: I Robot ; Year: 1977; Genre: Progressive Rock Just had this record on my mind since yesterday evening; why not just go ahead and pick the first, title track? I Robot  acts as the overture to the overall concept album loosely based on Isaac Asimov 's stories concerning the mechanical men . Essentially is a six-minute instrumental piece heavy with synth programing and keyboards except for a chorale providing a human touch with vocalizations, which probably was the intention considering the overall conceptual story.    Hear I Robot on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Rainbow - Black Sheep of the Family   My song pick 2 years ago today: Funkadelic - Take Your Dead Ass Home! (Say Som'n Nasty)   My song pick 3 years ago today: The Exciters - Tell Him   My song pick 4 years ago today: Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers - I Promise To Remember   My song pick 5 years ago today: Santana - Song of the Wind   My song...

6766. Marx Brothers - Lydia the Tattooed Lady

-
Image
From: A Night at the Opera ; Year: 1999 (1939); Genre: Comedy In a weird mood today and had the Marx Brothers film At the Circus , or rather music from it playing in my mind incessantly. Wot the Marx Brothers did musically is seemingly timeless and is enjoyable to people born more than a century after release. I still laugh and cannot turn away from this scene in particular, it is just so entertaining and hilarious. Even though Groucho sings the lead and is the primary focus and does an amazing acting job, his brother Harpo doing his physical comedy in the background is my favourite aspect; he all but steals the show during this number. It took me a while to find the soundtrack, but luckily was able to find this album of one of their most popular film's namesake. It also includes three other film soundtracks, including At the Circus , of which this one came.   Watch the number performed from the film on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Marvin Gaye...

815 ( ABBA - I Let the Music Speak )

815 ( ABBA - I Let the Music Speak ) This one has been running through my mind for over a month now, it seems like an excellent pick for today. This is one of their most intricate songs that I have heard both musically and lyrically. It is amazingly arranged: very brooding with a classical waltz feeling in the verses and then builds in the pre-chorus and, (with the signature ABBA hook), it launches into the chorus, then it brings you back down. The song's subject is about a musical artist going through the creative process of putting feelings to music, treating the music as a living entity in almost the context of a lover. The lyrics are so deep you could almost drown in them at times. Hear I Let the Music Speak on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Stone Temple Pilots - The Big Empty My song pick two years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Mr. Blue Sky +

6767. Eagle-Eye Cherry - Save Tonight

-
Image
From: Desireless ; Year: 1997; Genre: Alternative Rock Here's another one that came out during wot many refer to as the "post grunge" era that I've always liked. Don't know why I haven't chosen one of Eagle-Eye Cherry's songs yet, but I guess I will start with what is his biggest hit. As with many, many artists and bands, over here in The 'States he is erroneously labeled as a "one-hit wonder." He has actually scored a number of hits in other parts of the world, most notably European nations; chiefly his native Sweden. Save Tonight is just one of those tracks that, even if you are not a big fan of it, you'll start drumming your fingers and singing along without noticing.    Watch the music video on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Tears for Fears - Advise for the Young at Heart     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Surfaris - Surfer Joe   My song pick 3 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - She's a Devil...

This one has a great dance beat with a killer bass line that is sure to get you moving.     Hear Rock It on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Felix Mendelssohn - Op. 64 - Violin Concerto in E-Minor     My song pick 2 years ago today: Mountain - The Animal Trainer and the Toad   My song pick 3 years ago today: The (Detroit) Spinners - Sadie   My song pick 4 years ago today: Taylor Hawkins & The Coattail Riders - Middle Child   My song pick 5 years ago today: Traffic - Feelin' Alright?   My song pick 6 years ago today: Bad Company - Ready for Love   My song pick 7 years ago today: Tesla - Not Fragile My song pick 8 years ago today: Jigsaw - Ready to Ride My song pick 9 years ago today: Billy Joel - Big Man on Mulberry Street My song pick 10 y...

2959 Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 225 - Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied

-
Image
BWV 225 ; Year: 1727; Genre: Baroque Period/classical I made it another year with this pick today. Back in 2007 on this day I started this blog on a social site called MySpace and in '09 I moved it here; it's getting hard to believe that I've been at this for eight years now. Anywho, this is an extremely beautiful motet piece for eight voices, and there's a good chance you've hear the melody to this song; it's quite memorable. Hear BWV 225 performed by Orquesta de La Chapelle Royale; conducted byPhilippe Herreweghe on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: 2590 Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 1077 - Canone doppio sopr'il soggetto My song pick two years ago today: 2218 Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 996 - Suite in E-Minor My song pick three years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV. 1051 - Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B-Flat My song pick four years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 1049 - Brandenburg Concerto No.4 in G major My song...

6764. Fire Bomber (Humming Bird) - Holy Lonely Light

-
Image
From: Second Fire!! ; Year: 1995; Genre: Hard Rock/Metal Decided to go with another song from one of the Japanese animé's that I have always liked a lot: Macross 7 . For those not acquainted with the series, it was created by Shōji Kawamori  and combines science fiction/space, mecha , and music/"making of the band" genres. Over the years I have been able to procure most of the CDs associated with Macross 7 and some of the other Macro ss series. I've always liked the "Duet Version" off the second disc, which is performed by both guitar virtuoso  Yoshiki Fukuyama and Chie Kajiura as their characters from the show. As far as I am aware, the music was performed by Yoshiki Fukuyama and his band at the time: Hummingbird. Anyway, this is a high-intensity heavy metal/hard rock piece that feature a lot of blazing guitar work and was heavily featured in the show.    Hear Holy Lonely Light on YouTube.   Watch an awesome live performance of the song on YouTube.   ...
