Music to make models go by
-
It's a pity Kompressor, my favorite pseudo-German, pseudo-alien, death metal artist from the Midwest, has retired from the music business. But his music lives on "to crush puny America with German industrial might":
Try "K is for Kompressor"...you just cannot imagine how wonderful the video was. At one point he (rather flabbily) sings in the shower...with the alien mask on.
And then, "for something completely different", listen to Herr K's version of "The Girl from Ipanema."

Kompressor = the stuff. very funny - I remember the first time I heard that disc a couple years ago.. couldn't stop laughing.

It suddenly occurred to me: in YouTube is immortality.
By the way, the singing-in-the-shower scene was in Herr K's other hit video, "You have to Synthesize."

The "Girl from Ipanema" is really out there. Better than the original though!
K is for Krackpots!

I am currently listening to the "Glory of Gabrieli" Empire Brass 2006.
It is really charging me up and getting me going.

"Boomer Radio" (Internet), Smooth Jazz, all day long. Drives the kids crazy.

Boomer might have some nice music but I just clicked on all the stations and only one was playing music, all the others were commercials, no thanks.

A classic!
Yeah! This was way before he went Republican and started playing golf with country western performers!

OK METAL HEADS! I got the best lost in your work what happened to my day tunes....Ready for this?
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! That's right......I experiment with clients. what plays during the meetings seems to have a big effect on the meeting and what is accomplished. Sometimes the clients are more cooperative too. Another great guitar cd I have is Norman Kraft he is a smooth classical Italian acoustic player. -
I also have the Requiem on my 'pod. Of course, it's a rather shocking shuffle to go from that to "Under My Wheels."

one song on repeat.
Fergaliscious
Thats all I need. Ever.
Okay, I may be kidding, I listen to a lot of the Tragically Hip, Reel Big Fish, Breaking Benjamin, Benny Benassi, Tiesto, Techno, and rock in general!

To be honest Guys,
I haven't heard a lot of the stuff mentioned.
But I do like quality music [with a capital Q].
When I'm busy doing a groovy SU model I often put on a disk of Lawrence Welk's Greatest Hits [volume5]...or even The Best of Mantovani.
If you want to listen to something a bit more modern and hip-hop [as it were], you cant go past Richard Clayderman!Stu

okay, well hopefully everyone has heard of Tatu, a teen russian ... band and ... show ahahah

Seeing those Kompressor tubes reminded me of the truly great Nash The Slash, who had a cult following in the early 1980's. I've just enjoyed watching a number of his performances.

Nash was definitely a bit more polished than Kompressor, but you are right...there is a certain insane shared aesthetic...or maybe it's just the masks!
Is Nash really covering Astronomy Domine on an electric ukulele in one of those videos?
Thanks for bringing him to my attention.

Better that than "Dead Babies".
Heard Mendelssohn's Elijah performed at Frank Gehry's Pritzker the other night. Might have to add that to the playlist at work. Very good pice of music at an outstanding outdoor theater.

Opera is also a good music for late nights at the computer. Carmina Burana comes to mind, although I'm not sure that it technically qualifies as opera.

I do have both the Orff version of Carmina and Philip Pickett's "medieval" interpretation of the poems on my Ipod, too. Of course, Fortuna, Imperatrix Mundi does not encourage model making. Rather, on listening I find myself fighting the urge to put on polished plate armor, mount a warhorse, and ride through a grove of flowering fruit trees to almost certain death in battle against the forces of evil.
Oh, wait...no, that's a flashback from Excalibur.

Orff makes me thirsty.
