Merry Christmas and God bless us everyone!

 

Night all. This time tomorrow I’ll be in France

he did it of his own accord

 

Len when there is a new thread

 

"that's the PT forum, the whole place is one big social thread

and look over there..manager Guidman is waiting for us'

 

lmao did not expect that

 

Tried watching the Grammys but those ubiquitous trap beats kept freaking me out. Felt like getting swarmed by a thousand cicadas.

Or maybe I watched too many episodes of X Files this weekend.

 

The Grammy's are happening?

I have zero idea of who is nominated there

 

And the nominees for Best Male Vocalist of the Year are:

Bing Crosby
Johnny Mathis
Gene Pitney
Frank Sinatra
Nat King Cole

 

we have to go back 60 years for that

 

Yes! Back in the days before autotune. Before the Empire.

And now the nominees for Best Keyboard Player from 300 Years Ago are:

Georg F. Handel
Domenico Scarlatti
Friedrich Buxtehude
J.S. Bach

 

Yesss

what do you think about Dvorak Dags? Been really digging his work lately

 

Dvorak wrote brilliant music. He was Czech I think. He incorporated a lot of native folk melodies into his masterpieces.

What have you been listening to, EJC?

Edit: was just reading about Dvorak and this is really neat.

In 1874, he made a submission to the Austrian State Prize for Composition, including scores of two further symphonies and other works. Although Dvořák was not aware of it, Johannes Brahms was the leading member of the jury and was highly impressed. The prize was awarded to Dvořák in 1874 and again in 1876 and in 1877.

That would be similar to Billy Joel submitting his work and having Paul McCartney or John Lennon recommend and support him; as it sounds like Brahms went on to help Dvorak make connections in the biz as it were. Very cool.

 

this piece is epic

 

Holy crap I actually know this one



This dude uses it as his theme

not like this means anything to you

 

Nice choice @El Jedi Colombiano
It is epic. The opening sounds a bit like Jaws for a quick few seconds there!

Cool that you chose Sir George Solti and Chicago. Solti interprets the large scale Romantic material so well. His version of the Ring cycle is stellar too.

And shoutout to all the Illinois peeps in RYL. Chicago Symphony yeah!

 

Olivia Rodrigo won for Best Pop Vocal Album over Billie Eilish and Justin Bieber.

Sweet tribute for Taylor Hawkins RIP.

These vocals for the in memory of are nice.
So many brilliant people passed away. Wow.

 

to this day I have no idea what an Olivia Rodrigo song sounds like
