Hello. I would like to share some Jazz music I really enjoy. I hope you all enjoy this as well.

While listening I recommend going and reading the wikipedia/related website containing information on these musicians/albums.

(Album - Musician - Record Label)

The Bridge - Sonny Rollins - RCA Victor

In France, there is currently a tour of Molière l'opera urbain, an increasingly popular musical (so much so that they're touring again next year).

I'm happy because there are few people interested in musicals here.
So of course I went to see it two days ago! It was awesome. I would even go so far as to say that it's the French Hamilton.Even if it is fundamentally very different there's a similarity in the staging, and it's also the first French musical with so much rap in it. I hope that this will interest English speakers(and others), so that they record the show and translate it into other languages!!

Realizing there haven't been many songs that have gotten me to tear up, so I wanted to hear other people's recs!

I think mine are:

- I'm always close to you by Ritsuko Okazaki (really got me after a loved one passed away) - https://youtu.be/FDHzK1zjv54?si=wRvc5hOMMWGaELMk

-This English Cover of Sakayume - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEJxakrz-Ms (here's the original by King Gnu: https://youtu.be/M6gcoDN9jBc?si=Kn0u72Szu-tUa7gU)

-Shake Me Down by Cage the Elephant - https://youtu.be/v27TRan1SBI?si=rdOy6ntdedCbzq05

-Mesi Lavi by Emeline Michelle (someone very important to me introduced me to this song, it means "Thank you Life") - https://youtu.be/2DYBVevlBoI?si=kMTPsx7XiKZWjx61

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, for any vocaloid fans- ant powapowap/siinamota songs, especially the ones where he sings himself. Knowing what happened to him, even with the voice cracks, his songs always get me sobbing. Some of my favorite songs of his that I've teared up to:

-Astronauts: https://youtu.be/4tb1qPmvCHI?si=hz6keKoNQFkuBnax

-Goodbye everyone: https://youtu.be/ZiQTTq_YHks?si=ncSlS6sAjqseOtCF (His version: https://youtu.be/tpenC9LryFU?si=oDNVw-k8K8uMSgwL)

-Healthy end: https://youtu.be/H79AzmM6_Fk?si=tEEFmhbqQYKG9lTg (His version that he called "The war within me": https://youtu.be/xPb8goB4gtw?si=bUxMbSTrgX-ZDx7x - I tear up almost every time I hear it)

And I just want to take a moment, if you ever feel like you're struggling know that as cheesy as it sounds you're NOT alone. I hope you're able to find the support you need.

one of the masterful songs I've ever heard. it doesn't matter even what version.. this song is so masterfully written and composed.
but the most heartaking versions(there are dozen of versions to this song), are this, by Alison Moyet

and this, by Noel Harisson, which is the classic version

These were both very beautiful, thanks for sharing! I really like the Noel Harisson version.

Kendrick won and the beef is over but I still find myself talking about it and how much not like us bangs. I still think it's crazy how badly Drake lost.

so update drake is trying to start a "round 2" with kendrick

kendrick really rubbing salt in the wound with the super bowl now lol. shut down the chance of a round 2 as well

Hey guys. I'm a big Dollerhead myself. But I notice we have bad taste in media. For example, I noticed a thread in the movies part of the webstite about TRANSFORMERS. now YUCK! I don't lik ehtose guys. What I LIKE. Is a little fellow name dJohn Zorn. I love this man

I wish he would lick me. He makes good music and cool tunes :D
You guy sshould listen to varying things depending on your tastes. If YOU like hiphop, you should kil yousrelf. However, if you like rock music, that's not too heavy, you can listen to his Dreamers ensemble! It's a hoot! With great players like Marc Ribot and Joey Baron (Joy Baron is a frequent collaborater with zorn and a pretty cool drummer guy if I do say so myself) If you like HARD rock music, like hardcore, or even grindcore, you should listen to Painkiller and Naked City. Both very good projects! Although Painkiller is not as good. If you like Jazz, you should efinitneily listen to naked city and masada, which is like a jewish jazz klezmer thing which is very good. Under the masdaada umbrella is his ipnnaclbelee (or some would say ;) ) Electric Masada's "Ath the mountains of madness" which is really good. I especially like the song! Metal tov. Da du da du du da du da da du du da du du da du du a d da a da du du da du du da du du a d da! Whasn't that greata? YES!

I like john zorn . you should listen to moonchild too btw if you like mr bungle or like mike patton by the way you should listen to boredoms and yamatsuka yeyeye tooo and otomo uohsihide goround szero all thoseugys you;knwo

yk telling everyone who likes hiphop to kill themselves is not cool. im a metalhead through and through but i love me some freddie dredd every so often. you are free to have your own opinions but that doesnt give you any right to shit on others for having theirs

Anybody out here using Ableton/Logic/FL Studios to make music?

me, why

Have any of you created a band? If you have please tell me about your experiences and how it's working out

my favourite groups are le sserafim, (G)I-DLE, stray kids and blackpink if anyone wants to talk :D i'm also starting to get into IVE as well

Meeeee :) i'm a stay too, glad i'm not the only one here.
