The chandelier getting raised 😭 👌🏽

[timid sorrel]

BRYN TERFEL too?!

[timid sorrel]

[eternal aurora]

Oh wait is this the one with Emma Thompson as Mrs. Lovett?

I don't know why I replied that to you

I got too excited

[ivory pawn]

yessss she's amazing too

[timid sorrel]

this is vocal porn, i can't handle it

[eternal aurora]

I've only seen the opening of this, which in itself was amazing

I've been meaning to watch the rest

[ivory pawn]

the full proshot is on youtube i think

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7D3OptJO-Q

[ivory pawn]

Bryn Terfel really shouldn't fit here but his opera voice just works so well for Sweeney

i think his acting is a bit weak in some places but his voice is just 🤩

[timid sorrel]

ahh i just got to him singing my friends/pretty women 😭

[ivory pawn]

oh i forgot i had this open and my ears just got blasted by Ramin's voice 😅

[timid sorrel]

i feel like there's less acting to do with the roles he does in opera lol its like <intense singing!> i watched him in the ring cycle

[ivory pawn]

he is such a good Enjolras!

[ivory pawn]

haha that's true tbf

[timid sorrel]

||why the jo bro for marius tho 💔 ||

[eternal aurora]

Les Mis is one I still haven't seen live ||because I'm not sure if I trust myself not to just cry through half of it||

[ivory pawn]

oh you will. ||especially by the end 😭||

[timid sorrel]

i want to see it but i dont want to see the concert version!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvagfGfrJ8w btw it's NORM killin it

[eternal aurora]

Idk, maybe I just want Les Mis to live in my head as the soundtrack and

https://tenor.com/view/les-mis-les-misérables-enjolras-we-just-built-a-barricade-gif-7694718216303514008

[timid sorrel]

any drew sarich fans 👀 this is making me remember his stint as javert in the 2006 revival

poor bb singing a baritone part. he is not built for that 😆

[ivory pawn]

he sings so well 😍 i HAVE to watch him as the phantom some time

[timid sorrel]

the funny thing is that his christine - sierra - was ariel to his king triton

OMG some of my friends got to meet norm a few weeks ago and he signed his autograph to someone as 'sing, my angel of music' normmm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg_f36h_D18 required watching: norm and sierra about 5 mins in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ArDlNS198Q also cooking with norm

[ivory pawn]

ohhh i've seen these for other musicals, i love these

[timid sorrel]

sierra's are all hilarious! ali ewoldt did another one for phantom a little while after

[pseudo tree]

howdy folks

[ivory pawn]

do you like theatre too? 👀

[pseudo tree]

never got into it much.

[ivory pawn]

aww she's amazing in these lol

[pseudo tree]

But some tunes from musicals are some of the most classic tunes and an assortment of them are among my favorite songs.

Currently listening to some old Jimmie Rodgers!

[ivory pawn]

@eternal aurora @timid sorrel are there any other musicals you'd recommend? my musical playlist is starting to get rusty 😅

[timid sorrel]

tanz!

[pseudo tree]

what years does your musical playlist range from?

[timid sorrel]

elisabeth too. hmm only thinking of german ones

[pseudo tree]

Many of the old songs I listen to originate from musicals or at least film soundtracks that were just covered by other bands. (copyright laws were far less strict back then).

[timid sorrel]

yeston/kopit phantom but in korean so you can't understand the cringe lyrics it literally makes it 10 times better!

[ivory pawn]

oh the majority of them are recent so i'm sure it won't tickle your fancy lol. the oldest one on my playlist is the 1994 recording of Jekyll & Hyde https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7Bew5VcYs4lljFPmtOIBX1?si=8fe6298536464b65

but most of them are 2010s

[pseudo tree]

I was wondering cause I wanted to know if my reccomendations would "tickle your fancy" haha

[eternal aurora]

I'm a big fan of A Chorus Line if you haven't seen that. Bigtime 70s camp if you listen to the soundtrack, 80s camp if you watch the movie, but it's equal parts funny and touching

[ivory pawn]

oops i'm wrong. i forgot i had 1776 on here

[timid sorrel]

anastasia has some nice songs! once upon a december

gets stuck in my head all the time

[umbral imp]

I love Miss Saigon!

[pseudo tree]

I never really thought about how much of a fanbase musicals have

[timid sorrel]

ohh do you have secret garden on there 👀 i bet you do

[pseudo tree]

?

[timid sorrel]

haha i gotta link The video

[ivory pawn]

oooh i've seen clips of Miss Saigon!! two of my favourite broadway singers sung in that

[timid sorrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-RYHcyhLqk

[umbral imp]

Eva? 👀

[ivory pawn]

yes... i love eva noblezada so much 😍

[timid sorrel]

ah! evita

[eternal aurora]

Am I not seeing any Rent on this?

If so, also Rent

[umbral imp]

she's a star tbh, i love her jimmy's award performance still 😂 i'm excited to see her and jeremy jordan in the great gatsby

[ivory pawn]

sadly you are not. i'm a new wave theatre kid so most of the musicals i've watched are late 2010s 😭

[pseudo tree]

I love their voices so far!

[ivory pawn]

yes i saw that! i'm so happy for her!

[timid sorrel]

yeah they are amazing!

[pseudo tree]

especially the first man

[ivory pawn]

also she got engaged to her co-star on Hadestown, that is iconic

[eternal aurora]

If you're down for weird, Jesus Christ Superstar

[ivory pawn]

Lea Salonga was the second, her performance as Eponine in Les Mis is amazing

[timid sorrel]

drew sarich singing any part is

[umbral imp]

I LOVE Lea, she is incredible

[timid sorrel]

my fair lady, sunday in the park with george are some older ones to check out!

[eternal aurora]

Ditto on My Fair Lady for classic musicals

[ivory pawn]

is Sunday in the Park with George from Sondheim? if so then definitely will put on my list

[eternal aurora]

Obviously Sound of Music, West Side Story

[timid sorrel]

YES

[eternal aurora]

Fiddler on the Roof is another good classic

[timid sorrel]

oh yes!!

[eternal aurora]

I'll stop myself there, I could do this forever

[timid sorrel]

i cryyy

[pseudo tree]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH881wNdCec What do y'all think about this? I personally love both the band and especially the singer who is also a historical hottie!

[timid sorrel]

see, you're giving good suggestions and my brain is only supplying cursed ones. do not waste your time on lestat: the musical, alex! 😂

[eternal aurora]

Absolutely do not

And don't look up the Phantom of the Opera sequel either

Better to pretend it doesn't exist

[timid sorrel]

no, do, and then you can hatelove it!

lol

[ivory pawn]

i watched the film version not too long ago!! soo good

[ivory pawn]

i'm surprised you've never met a theatre kid before lol

[eternal aurora]

Ok scratch that, don't watch it, just watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfz-_WxGu3Y&t=56s

[pseudo tree]

honestly me too

[eternal aurora]

I'm honestly just trying to remember musicals I went through intense obsessions with as a child/teen and recommending those

[timid sorrel]

company has some classic songs

[umbral imp]

Has anyone said Moulin Rouge??

[ivory pawn]

oh man i've heard of so many of these suggestions, i am so missing out

[eternal aurora]

No, but I'm not a big fan of jukebox musicals admittedly

[timid sorrel]

moulin rouge movie though not musical which totally changes some things

[umbral imp]

Fair, me either normally but Moulin Rouge just 🤌

[timid sorrel]

https://youtu.be/syM0JtapQ4Q oklahoma - they tried to be as close to the original production and they did a great job! (part 2 is up too)

[pseudo tree]

I saw the thumbnail and title I was about to go crazy if that was acutally enhances footage from 43 hahahahah!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsoYyDlYU8M

[timid sorrel]

haha nah but they i'm impressed at what they did to copy it

oklahoma is definitely a lot darker than i thought it was going to be and of course the song gets stuck in my head

[eternal aurora]

I was thinking of adding Oklahoma to my list earlier. I don't think it's as top tier as some of the other classics, but it is good

[uneven smelt]

I literally love them so much.

[ivory pawn]

oooh this looks interesting! i've been getting into older musicals too, there are some really faithful Gilbert & Sullivan productions that really hold up

[timid sorrel]

yeah i was thinking of 'what are some classics alex should watch for their musical education' haha!

[eternal aurora]

Pirates of Penzance ❤️

Oh yeah Oklahoma should definitely be a watch/listen at least once

[ivory pawn]

that's exactly it!! 😍

https://tenor.com/view/major-modern-general-the-pirates-of-penzance-pirates-gif-14709947

[eternal aurora]

Guys and Dolls I'd also put in this category. Possibly Anything Goes

[uneven smelt]

Guys and dolls is one of my favorites

[pseudo tree]

Cant talk about musicals without Fred Astaire lol

[ivory pawn]

woah. did not know Sinatra was in Guys and Dolls 🤯 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL9lhzvQV1M

[pseudo tree]

Hot take Sinatra was overrated.

Bing Crosby was better IMO!

[eternal aurora]

And Marlon Brando, who I had no idea could sing

Though to be fair, it was a very bold move to make your singing debut on film opposite Sinatra. It... well, you can decide

[pseudo tree]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvKojv7olKk An example I was talking about of a cover of a musical number. This tune was a cover from a Fred Astaire Ginger Rogers film but Henry Hall's rendition is better IMO.

[ivory pawn]

everyone has their own opinions

but there definitely is a reason why Sinatra got so popular

[pseudo tree]

indeed but I just prefered Bing's voice

[eternal aurora]

Has anyone seen the musical Some Like It Hot? I'm only just reading about it now and it's kind of blowing my mind a bit because there was already a musical adaptation of Some Like It Hot called Sugar Wondering how different they are

[ivory pawn]

oh another musical i've been meaning to watch. i am totally in love with Andrew Rannells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVJgmp2Tc2s

[pine crow]

I saw this twice -- once in New York (amazing acoustics), and again in DC. It was excellent.

[ivory pawn]

[flint grove]

i watched it on broadway on a band trip to NY and can confirm it's fun to see in person!

ohi there were a lot more messages after that

[eternal aurora]

No worries, we're always happy for more Phantom talk here

[ivory pawn]

sooo jealous 😅

i really want to move closer to London so i have an excuse to spend all my money on theatre tickets 😆

[flint grove]

oh i figured it was fine, that was just me going "oh hi there was over a hundred messages after it I missed" 😆

[flint grove]

i have a signed poster 👁️

from the cast i mean

this would have been in nov 2016 ish

[ivory pawn]

just found out that i first watched Phantom on ALW's birthday

spooky 😨

[ivory pawn]

oooooh 👀

[flint grove]

i have no memory of how I got it beyond that it was in NYC and in the lobby of the theater it was in

[flint grove]

it was as you can see a bit ago 😆

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRgpcRCwmU8 A great find I just happened upon! This was a musical group during the 20's and 30's who were from my hometown!

[ivory pawn]

here's a musical artist from my hometown LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llx7vh4xbdw

[pseudo tree]

interesting

[elder cipher]

Is hometown where you're born or where you're raised?

I'm thinking raised yeah?

IE the hospital where I was born was 40 minutes from where I lived

[umbral imp]

I would say hometown is where you grew up & birthplace is where you were born

i totally forgot what channel i was in and thought you were asking an actual question

[unreal pond]

Quick post a music video

[elder cipher]

I was!

It was mentioned above that a band was from their hometown and it got me thinking

What is y'alls favorite era in music if you have one? (it can be genre specific eras too.)

[near trail]

probably a heretic to say this, but honestly, early 2000s x)

[desert walrus]

50s - early 60s probably. Just before the Beatles and stuff came along, though their stuff is really good too!

[copper sinew]

Roughly 20s-50s. Mostly has to do with the specific artist.

Swing music
Ella Fitzgerald
Frank Sinatra
Louis Armstrong
Couple others where it’s like one random song I like from them

Also a couple modern day bands like Caravan Palace

[ivory pawn]

definitely 90s. a lot of innovative grunge/rock bands back then

[eternal aurora]

Is Warped Tour an era

[gleaming acorn]

80s to 2000s Argentine rock

So not really a specific era

[pseudo tree]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuls26I5siY Forgot how good this song was
Also fun fact Jimmy Carter was alive to witness all of these.

[pseudo tree]

In my opinion I would chose the great depression years. Even amongst jazz people the depression is just seen as the birth of swing which is overlooking many of the greatest examples of popular and jazz music of the century and especially the pre rock age!

[elder cipher]

What early stuff have you already listened to

[pseudo tree]

Man I couldnt tell you all that I have heard lol. Just say stuff and I'll say if I have heard it or not

[elder cipher]

Death

Deicide

Entombed, malevolent creation

https://youtu.be/3XXpPuxkYoU?si=wOeVxX-tDmN9uqGA

Integrity isn't death metal but they seem to appeal to death metal folk

And they're awesome

[pseudo tree]

Let me try them out

One of my favorite covers is by Alicia Keys but I also like the piano version also, idk if she ever made a studio version of the cover though

my mom loves Godzilla so we watched all the old ones growing up

Rad mom moment

Been a G-man fan all my life.

Yep same

My mom is more a King Kong fan but we watched all of them, and watching them made me more a Godzilla fan

After listening to "Last Days Of Humanity" this was a good step back to normal music hahaha.

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6U1XHF9N-M|| This is what I listened to for perspective. These vocals are monstrous!

It's goregrind so that's why I spoiled it but when you click it the album cover it is blurred for the sake of remaining on YT so just wanted another layer of sparing yall's eyes haha.

[elder cipher]

I agree, having the yin and the yang is important

[pseudo tree]

indeed

Did you hear it at all lol?

[elder cipher]

I did, i like the music but I can't get into the vocals

[exotic panther]

This person randomly popped up on my Tiktok FYP and holy shit their voice is gorgeous??? I think @pseudo tree would especially be interested! I know you don’t really enjoy much modern music but this person just transports you back 100 years.

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRT4r8pF/

[pseudo tree]

Really. I thought the vocals were cool when the dude just straight up roared but the music was mid. Also what a neat idea to do "modified" vocals in metal which LDOH was one of the pioneers of grindcore and many in the genre have since used that idea.

[pseudo tree]

Some of their later stuff has the music drastically changed up in a style that a buddy of mine fittingly called snare abuse.

https://youtu.be/QBP8imm03Mo?si=ARXswEhvANlQs-qc an example!

[pseudo tree]

Maybe they will someday. I can see her blowing up in the next couple.of years sorta like Laufey did. I like this persons voice more than Laufey's honestly.

[pseudo tree]

I never got into Grindcore all that much likely cause I never got I to punk nor hardcore. The one grindcore album I really like is world downfall by terrorizer!

[elder cipher]

im not an aficionado by any means, i can only handle it for so long before i need a timeout, but i like the normal screaming/yelling over some of the pig squeals and etc

[pseudo tree]

Fair. I never got into the pig squeals but the extreme vocals I like are when it sounds like roars haha!

ok pals, this is your album cover. what is the name of your band and the name of your album?

woah, i thought it was a tribute band or something till i saw the hat. so jealous

do you get free tickets?

[rigid glade]

hehehe I produced the show

I am a production manager

[pseudo tree]

Most epic job of anyone else here. Also how big is the arena? I am wondering if there have been any metal shows that you have produced?

[halcyon basin]

How's Elwood, I haven't seen them play since Hill died

[rigid glade]

That arena is like 7,000

I’ve done tons of metal shows

[pseudo tree]

Epic. From who I wonder if you remember?

[rigid glade]

I work with over 100 bands every year. Probably easier if you ask me specifics

[pseudo tree]

In Death metal who have you had there?

[rigid glade]

Again, I’ve been working concerts for around 20 years with several hundred artists per year. Tell me some death metal you like, I’m not a machine that can rattle off everything I’ve ever done.

[pseudo tree]

How about recent death metal shows within 2024

[rigid glade]

What did I just say??? lolol

[pseudo tree]

nevermind yeesh.

[ivory pawn]

ohh do you own the arena?

do you mind me asking where you're based?

[rigid glade]

I don’t own any venues, I work for a large promoter and I cover shows all over the southeast region.

[pseudo tree]

Interesting

Have you done shows in Bon Secours wellness arena in Greeville SC

Or the Harrah's cherokee center in Asheville NC

[rigid glade]

I haven’t done any arenas in the Carolinas but in my touring days I’d go to clubs Charlotte and Chapel Hill

[pseudo tree]

ahh

Did you ever do any stadium shows?

[rigid glade]

I have my first one later this year

[pseudo tree]

Epic!

Best of luck.

[ivory pawn]

i mainly follow the UK indie scene so i can't really think of any to ask 😭

how about Modest Mouse? or The Front Bottoms?

[rigid glade]

Modest Mouse, yes

I worked at an indie rock club for years. I came up in the punk and diy scene

[ivory pawn]

ohh no way

did you ever work with Killswitch Engage? they are a great indie rock band, pretty dated though

[sonic eagle]

Killswitch Engage is dated 👴

my favourite KE album was released a year before i was born 👶

I have a "songs to make you cry" playlist on Spotify.
Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran is one. Lucy by Skillet and If I Die Young both hit hard for me because they both played on the radio the morning after I learned a friend of mine had died when we were 13.

In high school, my drama teacher made the mistake of asking us to pick a ballad and analyze it and its themes. We would also listen to the song before doing the PowerPoint.
Well, for some reason, our entire class of 12 kids (except for like 1 or 2) picked the saddest ballads in the entire world history of songwriting. Elvis Presley's In the Ghetto, Sarah McLachlan's Angel, Randy Travis's Three Wooden Crosses, Pearl Jam's Last Kiss...
This was a 90 MINUTE CLASS. I think we all trauma bonded that day.
If you're wondering what I picked, of course it was Concrete Angel by Martina McBride. 😭

I've got a Travis Tritt showing coming up so I was revisiting this hilarious nugget from history.... you youngin's wouldn't remember but in 1992 Billy Ray Cyrus swept the nation with his hit Achey Breaky Heart. (This is 100% why we have Miley Cyrus today) The song was a certified hit and exploded into the main stream. There was a good bit of drama, however, from the more traditional country artists that thought his music didn't deserve the label of country music. Travis Tritt was one of the outspoken critics.

So in this video, there's a lot of really amazing things happening... 1. Motley Crue, a hair metal band, is introducing this coutry award. They were absolutely in the height of their addiction days and then 2. The absolute shade that Billly Ray throws at the end of his speech by directly firing shots at Travis Tritt who released a popular song the year before called, Here's a Quarter (Call Someone who Cares)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4xIp6oIr9o&ab_channel=AmericanMusicAwards

Were you really a kid of the American 90's if you didn't line dance to this song at least once? I don't know, I don't know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byQIPdHMpjc&ab_channel=BillyRayCyrusVEVO

[unreal pond]

100% line danced to this song

[eternal aurora]

I had to in gym class 😒

[rigid glade]

It's making me laugh so hard watching this and remembering how he was considered a sex symbol. This man couldn't beat the ladies away with a stick

[unreal pond]

That hair looks like a critter

[rigid glade]

omg, there's Miley's mom Tish in the video

freaking twins

It sounds like they met on the set of this video so it really is literally why we have Miley Cyrus today lololol

[bitter fiber]

My gymnastics group did Achy Breaky Heart for our showcase that year. I was like 5 & my tiny little bowl cut was curled & sprayed to high heaven. I still have the leotard somewhere, it's got a huge broken, sequined heart on the front 💔

[rigid glade]

I love this story

[pseudo tree]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEMQD5PImr8 I forgot how good this band was!

[elder cipher]

Our hoedowns included achy breaky heart and why'd you come in here (lookin like that) by dolly

Wtf I got an error on my reply saying it failed to send? This tune is one of mine, and so many good covers have been done https://youtu.be/BBx8fRP_UxM?si=uPldkrwn9JgH-am0

Merle haggard covered it, Arlo McKinley

And the dude who won American idol last year with the golden voice

Side note. The blaze Foley biographical movie is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Tragic story, but he was friends and contemporaries with Townes van zandt, John prine, pretty much the who's who of great songwriters

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6443294/ for anyone wondering

Hey if you're lucky, the song and the movie will turn on the water works!

[rigid glade]

Over a decade a go, I used to watch these two guys from Scottland do New Wave covers on ukulele and it was my absolute favorite YouTube channel. I just found this that is for sure one of those same guys.. but the theme for the covers is the 1930's

Tyler Childers last night

Didn’t know of him going into the day but discovered he’s pretty great

[unreal pond]

SO GREAT!

@bitter fiber @elder cipher

[elder cipher]

mrs bald and i are big fans

[unreal pond]

I knew who to call in 😄

[bitter fiber]

His new album isn't my fave, but I loved Purgatory & Long Violent History. Even some of the "weirder" stuff on Country Squire is good.
And he has some songs that didn't make it on an album, but were only recorded live that are really fantastic.

[rigid glade]

I liked his vibe on stage big time

[bitter fiber]

Yeah, I'm sure it was a great show!

[unreal pond]

I've been fighting my country blood my entire life. Now i'm just embrassing it on my own terms. At least there's alt-country peeps I can get behind

[rigid glade]

Took a shot from the nose bleeds. Fun fact, I make sure everyone has a good seat or else I work to relocate them before they even arrive. This seat was sold as limited view and I wanted to make sure it wasn’t completely obstructed

You don’t always know if a seat is going to be good or not until their set is brought in. Lots of variables and unknowns until they are in your venue building their show.

[bitter fiber]

Look, I plug her every chance I get so I've probably told you already, but please check out Bella White. I think you'd like her.

You'd probably like Sierra Ferrell too

[unreal pond]

Definitely a fan! And checking Bella White right now

I fully embracing my ridge runner roots and love the old school country western movement that's been going on

[unreal pond]

It just took me some time. My obstinance got in the way.

My rock and roll lifestyle had to give way to the country life

[rigid glade]

I’m so Nashville adjacent I get a LOT of Americana stuff I have no interest in. But this is not that. I’ve always enjoyed old country.

[bitter fiber]

Yeah, if thats the case & you want to try some more Tyler Childers, you'd probably prefer Country Squire over Purgatory. Its the more similar album to his new stuff.

I thought we had some Billy Strings shows this year but I looked and it's Billy Currington. I know we have at some point though. I'm so busy the next few months I can't keep them all straight right now.

[elder cipher]

I went to see him at Nautica in Cleveland last fall, and it was not the crowd I was expecting

He was amazing, his shows are friggin weird

[elder cipher]

He plays bluegrass but he has grateful dead crowds. Do not want

Lol j/k we are going to the one by Pittsburgh and getting an Airbnb with some neighbors so we can all bring our kids

[rigid glade]

Party!

I went to Graceland today. I have a show with Hozier tomorrow

[uneven smelt]

ooh. have you ever done shows with him before?

[unreal pond]

I thought Hozier was one of the best shows I've ever seen. It was all the vibes

[rigid glade]

Nope! First one

I would be doing two of his shows this year except we also have Neil Young playing on the same day and I wanted to get to work that one again

[unreal pond]

Have you seen Neil Young in concert?

[rigid glade]

Yes, twice! Luke Nelson and the Promise of the Real was his backing band. This upcoming show is with Crazy Horse

[unreal pond]

Ah I saw him with Luke Nelson too! Except at Farm Aid 😛

[rigid glade]

Mine was Desert Trip

He also came out with Paul and sang Give Peace a Chance

That was probably the most incredible event I’ve worked. And it was two weekends so I got to do it all twice

[uneven smelt]

You’ll have to tell me what you think. He is coming here in august so I wanna know if I should buy tickets

[viscid comet]

Hozier is probably one of the kindest musicians I've ever met. Which was before his solo career though, I've no clue how his solo shows are live

[ivory pawn]

you've met Hozier???? woah

[unreal pond]

The other best show I've seen was probably Bon Jovi in 99

Even my kid self could recognize how great he was

[eternal aurora]

My best show was Rammstein at the O2 👀

[near trail]

I don't really go to huge concerts, generally more small local bands

biggest show I've been to (that was pretty awesome) was Ska-P, which I bet most people here wouldn't know 😄

(in fact I'd be surprised if someone knew them haha)

[unreal pond]

I love small shows / local shows. That's so much more of the vibe. I'm past festivals, heck sometimes I feel like i'm at chair status

look it was the easiest way to show how to get to it

i stumbled onto this a few months ago and it made me fall in love with opera

[timid sorrel]

have we already enthused about opera i cannot remember 😆

[fickle nexus]

ohhh yess
i just had to think about my very first live opera

[fickle nexus]

you got any favourites?

[scenic pecan]

Cavalleria Rusticana, La Traviata, Die Zauberflöte, Die Walküre

[ivory pawn]

we have about Bryn Terfel but i don't think we've ever talked about general opera 😩

[fickle nexus]

yesss die walküre was my first live opera

im going to play excerpts from Cavalleria and Traviata in orchestra soon, im excited ✨ rehearsals start on monday

[flint grove]

mine was elisir d'amore!

my very on brand first one I had listened to as a whole is Wozzeck 🤣

[scenic pecan]

Oy, Berg. 12 tone is definitely not my thing.

How about a Cage opera? Maybe an opera version of 4'33"?

[flint grove]

OPERA VERSION OF 433🤣

[sonic eagle]

sounds good to me 👌

[flint grove]

I tend to like Berg and Schoenberg's stuff, moreso than Webern and some later integral serialist stuff like Babbitt

Some of Ruth Crawford Seeger's music seems fun though, e.g. if I had another year worth of oboe I would probably wanna try to learn her diaphonic suite #1 bc it seems fun and quite hard

(RCS is also notable for integral serialist stuff, though I don't think that piece is. Also yes she is the mother of those Seegers!)

[rigid glade]

Neil Young + Crazy Horse

[unreal pond]

ugh yes! was it everything?

[rigid glade]

it's been a very long day and it ain't over yet!

it hilariously started at 5 in the mornign for me when crew members from another band at another even started caling me because they were given my phone number as their over night contact. I'm not even in the same state as them.

[fickle nexus]

Im a big Fan of Berg 😶‍🌫️
Berg is kinda the romantic of the viennese school and often at the border to tonality and romanticism
And imo this style of music is the ideal for this story of wozzeck

https://youtu.be/soR-6jrN8_s?si=aESBhXDAacJZoroI

One of the Best moments in wozzeck

[granite quarry]

I love Berg!

When I taught I took my high school students to see Lulu. It was great.

Also https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/06/health/beethoven-deaf-lead-hair.html

pdf if you don't have a sub

[fickle nexus]

You studied music?

Im a Student of musicology rn, and last Semester, i already wrote my second paper on wozzeck, and a fellow Student did Lulu, including a 30 Minutes presentation

[granite quarry]

I was a musician before I was disabled about a decade ago. After college I spent a few years as well teaching high school students in NYC - we had a partnership with the Met so I used to take kids to the opera a bunch. Sex, drugs, murder. It's a good introduction to classical music.

And yeah, did conservatory, the whole shebang. But can't listen any more so I won't have much intelligent to say about music :D. That creative part of my brain is now being used for genealogy 😄

[fickle nexus]

Ohh which instrument(s) did you play? And thats sad :/

[granite quarry]

Oh that's OK. And I was never amazing at music history, so I'm always impressed by musicologists.

[fickle nexus]

I live in probably one of the Best regions for Opera and concerts i guess

[granite quarry]

Germany?

[fickle nexus]

Yeah, and also in germany one of the better areas

[granite quarry]

Yeah you definitely have us beat. I would have loved to study in Germany but I couldn't figure it out.

[fickle nexus]

I can easily go to the Opera in Halle(Saale), Leipzig opera and semperoper in Dresden

And of course gewandhaus

[granite quarry]

Also I think your prices are much better than here, though I don't really know.

[fickle nexus]

But being Not too far from the met must also be nice
They have extremely nice productions

I live in Leipzig rn and the more i get into the music life here, the more Problems i get with it

[granite quarry]

Yes, and with the program for students we could go for free. And because I got a reputation for being able to organize things very quickly they would give me many tickets over the limit. They would call and say "we have 200 tickets to La Traviata next week, do you want them?" and I would start running around the school trying to make it happen.

[fickle nexus]

Omgggg how cool is that

[granite quarry]

I also knew musicians in the orchestra so we would have people come up and talk to the students during intermission. One thing I loved about Berg was that he wasn't less accessible than Verdi and at least in Lulu there was MUCH more murder.

It was more interesting for them

And because he's still within that romantic framework it kind of felt like weird movie music to them I think.

[fickle nexus]

I think 20th century or late 19th is a way better introduction to Opera than earlier verdi or classical Opera for most people

I introduced 3 friends to Opera with Verdis otello last year and one with elektra tvis year and it worked well

[granite quarry]

If my parents were having a rough time they loved to go to the opera because "you can fall asleep and you wake up and they're still singing and nothing has happened in the story"

[fickle nexus]

Ive kinda have a Problem with how conservative the big Institutions (Opera and gewandhaus) are in Leipzig, although Opera is worse atm

[granite quarry]

They're not wrong 😄

[granite quarry]

Well that just means that you have to create your own institutions and connect in with people who are making things that fit with your musical values

[fickle nexus]

Im playing in an amateur orchestra, and we do 6-7 concerts a year in the gewandhaus, and i guess that orchestra brings more to the music life in Leipzig than the gewandhaus

The university orchestra too although they just do 2 concerts a year

There was a World Premiere of an opera in Dresden in February, i went to See it the same month and it was sooo cool

Wish there were more New operas here

https://youtu.be/IeuEopTShwE?si=0JqjcgeuchC_4U-Q

[flint grove]

ooooh Elektra would be a fun one for a first opera 👀

from the audience

probably very intimidating from the pit or stage 🤣

[ivory pawn]

i love Verdi!!! 😍

i've always wanted to watch Otello

[fickle nexus]

Yeah otello is sooo cool

[fickle nexus]

https://youtu.be/2KRj8GKGocs?si=1FVy-NGeGVQTNUCi

This is the absolute perfect Regiethater production
Im not sure but i think i even prefer this over what Wagner wrote as stage directions

And a lot of my favourite singers are in this production

[timid sorrel]

I hope to go to bayreuth some time in my life

[viscid comet]

Late response, but yeah I met Hozier. Probably about 2010 I think? He still sang with Irish choir Anúna at the time, and I was having a cd autographed by as many singers as possible. Spoke to him for about 5 minutes. Mostly remember that he was kind, and that he was tall, and that I kept trying to look beside him as I was waiting for a particular other choral member who had left (and didn’t come back lmao) and then it took me several years to realise Andrew Hozier Byrne and Hozier were the same person. Though it thankfully took my sister until a couple years ago to figure it out, so I wasn’t the only one not having had a clue about meeting him.

Oh, this all happened in a small countryside theatre, in the town of Winterswijk 😅

[fickle nexus]

that would be so cool
its absolutely worth every cent imo

i hope i can go there again next year, depends on whether anyone of my friends goes with me or not

[exotic panther]

So we all excited for Eurovision 2024?!

[unreal pond]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBbsyLdFtEU

[fickle nexus]

im surprised every single year when i randomly get to know that Eurovision is about to start 😶‍🌫️
I think the last time i watched it was, when germany was there with "Sattelite" 😂

i just realized this was 14 years ago ;-;

[viscid comet]

Nemo keeps feeling like a winner, and after this, well, it’s a rough spot in the scheduling needing to be convincing enough right after them.

[rain yew]

nemo would so win, but imo their staging is meh

saying this i think theres gonna be a shock win again and idt itll be croatia

im praying its ireland ahahah i need dublin 2025

[viscid comet]

Slight correction, Nemo uses they/them pronouns, which matters in general but their song is about their identity, thus especially relevant here.

Nice, love this song!

[rain yew]

Ah sorry I didn't know

Thanks for telling me

They had a few other chuckle-worthy songs, and are currently moguls on Norwegian TV. I keep getting YT video recs of them competing on Norwegian Taskmaster

[warped orchid]

For any Chappell Roan listeners here, what are your favourite songs? I had to listen to The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess a couple times over, but I think I've landed on Guilty Pleasure being my favourite right now

I find it musically really itches the right spot in my brain, especially that yodeling 😆

It also really resonated with me since it really perfectly captured how it felt when I fell in love with my boyfriend

[umbral imp]

I like the popular ones -- Casual & Good Luck Babe -- but I really like Kaleidoscope too

[exotic panther]

Favorite has to be Pink Pony Club. I’ve mentioned it before but it means a lot to me because I was raised in the rural Midwest, so I relate.
Also Femininomenon is a bop

anyone here collect vinyl?

[unreal pond]

I don't buy any but I snatched my parents vinyl collection. I have my dad's Black Sabbath and my mom's Rocky Horror Picture Show albums. Explains so much why I turned out the way I have

Do you collect?

@timid sorrel has recently gotten into it

[ivory pawn]

i was talking with a friend and they peer pressured nudged me into starting 😅

i have a local record place near me so i'm gonna go scope out their prices tomorrow

i have always wanted to collect!! it's just sooo expensive

[unreal pond]

One time I grabbed an old shirt out of my dad's closet to dye my hair in. I went downstairs and my dad was like.. what are you doing? And he's like please don't dye your hair in that original 1970s Grateful Dead shirt please.

[iron goblet]

@ivory pawn 👀 definitely check eBay and resale places online/in person too - a lot of people sell on eBay with the attitude of “I just wanna get rid of this” and don’t check sale prices. If there is something you’re interested in and can’t seem to find, set eBay alerts up for when something gets listed. And local charity/thrift stores usually have them tucked away by the CDs. I’m not sure how the UK is regarding thrift stores, but here Goodwill is a vinyl goldmine, especially if you start to poke around in a few towns around you.

😅 my grandfather had thousands upon thousands of vinyls in his basement very carefully organized and restored. It was my first job as a kid - data entry to catalogue what he had so he wouldn’t buy duplicates, and going to the resale shop with the printed list to find new ones and check to see if it was “mint” or not. Not saying you have to go that hard 😅 I only have a few handful things now, but nothing from his collection. When he died, my dad and his brother threw everything out and only saved a handful of OG Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, and Elvis records that I’ll probably never see 😔 BUT don’t sleep on EBay and your local resale shops 😌

The reprints sold for list price are so expensive and marked up because of the recent hype surrounding it. If you’re interested in investing in a collection for resale or value, poke around for the original stuff ||if you don’t care either way - and just wanna collect for the fun and find music you enjoy, look for bulk sales of more modern stuff and you might have luck finding a deal!||

[ivory pawn]

ahhhh thank you so much!

i actually went to a thrift store today and saw some vinyls/CDs, this is partly what instigated it 👀

[iron goblet]

Ooooo 👀 yes !! It’s a slippery slope 🥲

Once I get a more permanent base I definitely want to get back into it again. Vinyl is also uhhh very heavy to move 😅 a typical tub holds like 100, and that’s easily 100 pounds 😭 fyi for your future back since you’re still a small bean

[ivory pawn]

there is a guy in my town who gave out free vinyl records during COVID!! i really gotta visit his store, i know he has a ton of vinyls

[ivory pawn]

thank you for the heads up 😂

[iron goblet]

Oooo!!! Definitely do that! I’m sure he’s got excellent prices! Also also estate sales? Idk if they’re a thing there

A lot of families don’t wanna deal with figuring out where to take them, so just sell them as part of an estate and/or donate to local vinyl stores too. So I bet he gets a ton at his store through that too

[ivory pawn]

hoping so!!

will lyk when i come back

i saw a $50 vinyl player online and i will definitely buy that if there isn't anything cheaper near me

[ivory pawn]

i don't think they're as popular here as they are in the US

[timid sorrel]

Vinyl

Here is our humble setup. Also check discogs too for things. We found one volume seller there that sells for quite cheap and the records are like mint (obv older stuff)

I found my grandma’s collection this weekend 😄 I want this one

(Btw happy bday Alex!! ❤️)

[timid sorrel]

Look for some used vintage ones near you! They’re probably better than the new cheap ones and hopefully similarly priced?

[ivory pawn]

oooo this looks great!!

(side note 😛 i just realised i'm a little bit of a vinyl noob) -- do vinyl players need speakers to play?

[sonic eagle]

No but you might need to sit real close
||you can usually hear just from the needle going over the grooves||

[timid sorrel]

Some have them built in. Ive only heard one like that, a suitcase player (avoid..) and it wasn’t great 😩

[ivory pawn]

oh that's another good point, what's the difference between suitcase players and regular vinyls? i'm guessing quality?

[timid sorrel]

i think suitcase players can put more wear on the records? the record isnt supported like typical players

[ivory pawn]

yeah that sounds about right 😭 and if i'm gunning for a cheap one, i'll probably have to hold the player up to my ear

[ivory pawn]

ah i see, that's pretty bad!! i was about to buy a suitcase player so thanks for letting me know 😩

[timid sorrel]

this is why i'm hoping you can find some vintage setup from someone's estate sale or something 😩

but also! my husband is a super audiophile and this is who i'm hearing all this from, so ymmv

(i did hear the suitcase player myself though - my son's 7 year old friend has one for her taylor swift records! she's so cool - and it was not great listening 😦 )

[ivory pawn]

she has a vinyl player at 7 years old?? 🤯

[timid sorrel]

right? like how did she learn about this? 😆

[halcyon basin]

Resale shops have records all the time and cheap

Especially the ones that get donated materials

[iron goblet]

That 7 year old is goals 😩

[chilly hatch]

With cheaper vinyl players, you will generally still need something to amplify the sound with, and then a speaker. Today, slightly more expensive players usually have a built-in amplifier, which means you don't need more additional stuff as you usually have some kind of speaker

[chilly hatch]

Maybe this guy can also help you find / give some tips on finding a decent cheap record player in your area 🙂

[ivory pawn]

he did! 😌

sadly he does not sell record players but he gave me some great advice:

• stay away from suitcase players
• avoid built in speakers since they usually have poor quality
• Audio Technica/Lenco are usually good choices for starting out

(which is good because i was eyeing up a cheap AT player on eBay 👀)

[chilly hatch]

Yay! Happy to hear that 🙂 do you have any speakers?

[ivory pawn]

i don't have any spares 😦

i have some that i use for my PC though

[timid sorrel]

We have an audio technica one! 👍👍👍

[bitter fiber]

@ivory pawn What kind of music are you interested in? I've been slowly collecting for a bit over a few years & just got a decent haul when my in-laws neighbors moved - they just just gave me free pick of their whole collection & donated the rest. Its a fun hobby!

[ivory pawn]

would probably be easier to list the types of music i don't like 😂

[bitter fiber]

Ok I hear you 😄
What's at the top of your "need to get" list?

[ivory pawn]

haha, i was just deliberating this earlier

top 3 would probably AC/DC, Queen, and Nirvana

[bitter fiber]

Solid picks.

[unreal pond]

I feel like you need a solid jazz album

John Coltrane or something

[ivory pawn]

oh definitely

pinging @flint grove for jazz :P

[ivory pawn]

after this i'll probably just buy anything that interests me, maybe support some indie artists

[chilly hatch]

I don't know how much you like 70s-80s stuff, but i find that a lot of the more popular records in that era are usually easy to find for not too over the top prices

Modern vinyl + the large bands are typically more expensive (but I only know the Dutch vinyl market)

[flint grove]

Something from like Coltrane or Mingus or Dolphy or someone would be fun!

I am entirely unbiased as a bass clarinetist for dolphy rec

[timid sorrel]

We just got some Coltrane 👌 recommend

They're also dying in USA heat

[scenic fractal]

I don't! A couple of them look familiar.

[warped rose]

lol yes

2 lads from westlife brian mcfadden and shane filan. my sister grew up listening to all the boybands so embarrassingly i know them all

[unreal pond]

It had to be so weird for them because no one in the US knew who they were but they were such a big deal back home and in Europe

[elder cipher]

is this like the 'my canadian model girlfriend that nobodys ever met' thing

[unreal pond]

The same year, they were like one of the first openers for this day festival I went to. No one here had a clue who they were

I think the US at the time didn't have room for one more boy band

[unreal pond]

Sure do!

[marsh igloo]

I've been fortunate enough to catch her at the Caverns (during the filming of the PBS special) in Grundy County, TN and at the Ryman.

Y'all Charley Crockett fans, too, by chance? Between him and Sierra and a few others I actually have hope for Americana and Country music.

[unreal pond]

Wait, is the caverns that venue that's actually in a cave?

[marsh igloo]

yep

[unreal pond]

ah that place looks so rad

[marsh igloo]

it was pretty cool. they offer some "cave diving" type stuff that i'd like to do at some point, too. neat place for sure. i'm not really into edm but i've heard edm shows are INSANE there

[bitter fiber]

Love Charley Crockett. Some other favorites are Matt Heckler, Bella White & Molly Tuttle

[marsh igloo]

Oh yeah! Matt Heckler is a real good one (as are the others, but I'm partial to Matt haha)

[bitter fiber]

If you don't know it already, definitely check out the Gems on VHS YouTube channel. They've been recording videos with various artists (Matt, Lost Dog, Sierra, lots of others) for years. Tons of really great recordings there, some better than what's on the album

[marsh igloo]

Ha, yeah, it's such a good channel. Western AF too!

tldr there was a guy named Mapleson who between 1900-1904 made surprisingly good live recordings at the met, they're the only actual live recordings of opera from the first decade of the twentieth century due to recording limitations of the time

https://www.nypl.org/node/90326 here's a few more random excerpts from the nypl

also to listen without flash as it is now dead just click on the link saying to listen on phone or tablet [or computer =p]

also some @fickle nexus bait: hi one of the above recordings from the nypl website is from die walkure

[fickle nexus]

I would do everything for a good ring cycle rn

Except spending hundrets of euros on Tickets

Btw my local opera house did a kind of Festival 2 years ago, called "Wagner 22", where they performed all 13 Wagner operas in cronological order

[flint grove]

Oooo fun!
...also a lot of time overall for those ope

[fickle nexus]

It was even planned that Katharina Wagner would make a lohengrin staging but for some reason she had to cancel that quite spontaneously

And yeah 😭 4,5 hours meistersinger alone

OH

Post your favorite fall song or album. Go! 🍂 🚗 🌃

[eternal aurora]

Start us off Jen, I need examples of what constitutes a fall song/album

[exotic panther]

I mean I could be basic and go ‘Tis Autumn by Nat King Cole…
For more modern tunes, pretty much anything by Hozier (especially shoutout his Unreal Unearth album) or Bon Iver

folklore-era Taylor is great too

[unreal pond]

Anything Neil Young

My personal favorite fall/autumn at night car music https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lQnk8HV1zAZPhr5aNPeNZbWDVxiWOAZUk&si=FqukFi17NizkWccc

I didn't realize people didn't have "fall music" 😅 In my mind, that's just a thing, like how Summer is boppy happy music. Fall music is folky or moody or minor key music. but maybe other people interpret that differently or not at all!

[halcyon basin]

Live - Throwing Copper

[flint grove]

Autumn Leaves, in G Minor, at 110 bpm-
for a non jazz shitposty reply, even if autumn leaves is in fact a good song the first thing I can think of with fall or autumn in a title is this thing by Milhaud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQHk4km1Pww but I generally don't associate stuff with a certain season when listening to it rip
I would have had a more fun random thing to suggest for summer based on name alone though, Samuel Barber's Summer Music. ||my "jokingly call a jazz standard like at a jam session" joke would have probably been summertime which is also nice though||

for something that fits more the things you said for fall music though, hmmmm, I sent this to Lena in a conversation earlier this month and might be good/fitting for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_JkZs1Ku9c

...also oddly both of these videos are from the same person ope

[viscid comet]

autumn as in "music about autumn" or any music you associate with autumn? I've some that I always put on on dreary days in October and November, and have an autumn association (and that of a warm mug of chai and a good book to go with it0

[iron goblet]

Sweater Weather, Noah kahan, Hozier, Benson Boone, phoebe Bridgers, Cigarettes after Sex, ghost, joji, the Oh Hellos, Fleetwood Mac, Kate Bush, gilded lily by Cults, Kodaline, Kaleo, the twilight saga soundtracks for peak Hoa Hoa music, and Lana Del Rey.

Honorable mentions are OG Ed Sheeran songs, Moulin Rouge, Dolly Parton, Mumford and Sons, and Madison Beer

I’m a mood listener so I always try to find playlists that match my mood when I’m listening but these are my faves especially that give me autumn/orange and brown/Thursday/sunset vibes

[eternal aurora]

Sweater Weather is an excellent choice. I couldn't get my brain to think past Wake Me Up When September Ends and I don't even like that song

[ivory pawn]

omg i love Hozier 😍😍

[iron goblet]

😌 same

[unreal pond]

All of these are in my autumn music. More like my day autumn music. My weird, dark autumn music is more night time lol

[exotic panther]

Peep that playlist I’m listening to right now. It’s a spotify one and It think pulls from my liked songs? It’s called pumpkin spice

I listen to dreary folklore music year-round tbh

[exotic panther]

WMUWSE makes me so sad. Learning what it’s about changed the whole meaning of listening to it and I no longer do. Also the fact that Billie Joe Armstrong hates when people joke about the song

May I also shout out Fleet Foxes, The Lumineers, Paris Paloma, Lizzy McAlpine, Searows, Haley Henderickx—all fantastic indie artists with a great autumn vibe

[unreal pond]

Sylvan Esso.

Gregory Alan Isakov

https://youtu.be/QHgh77iE6qc?si=pJU09E8vJPRhw0u0 This is always a bop. But I only know like 10 words he says in the whole thing. blah blah blah Amazon Blah blah blah River blah blah blah Brazil.

[exotic panther]

oh my god finally someone else who loves this song

[bitter fiber]

Fleetwood Mac, The Cranberries, The Civil Wars, Coldplay, Florence + The Machine, Mipso

[eternal aurora]

I don't think I generally listen to music by seasons, but when I was a teenager, there was a little band out of Chicago called Empires that I liked, and I always seem to come back to this song of theirs when the weather gets colder
