A song a friend had on the other day. Asked for its name, he told me and I looked for it. Been listening to it so many times the last few days.

This is a lot better than the original.

Currently the Adele-mania is growing in Italy so while everyone else can name only Hello I enjoy myself listening to some older titles while people tell me "OMG, that singer totally ripped-off Adele !11!"

Yeah, you're right. I think people hate his persona, and they translate that hate into his music. But his musicianship is beyond any doubt. That's part of a modern hipster mentality of "everybody/everything that's praised and mainstream is shit" that's kind of invading the music world. At least that's what I think.

Radiohead is probably my favourite band, so I definitely recommend to hear it. Things start to get really good after The Bends, all the albums are worth a listening (OK Computer and In Rainbows are my personally favourites).

I definitely agree there. If he was a traditional nice guy with the exact same music more people would love it. People aren't capable of separating the artist from the art. It's okay though - Freddie Mercury was controversal during his peak, too.

What's your favorite album by them? I'll put it on my list for later!

The last few months, I've been into whiny emo/hardcore/screamo/whatever you want to call it (The Used, Finch, My Chemical Romance, etc.), but I think I'm done with that for the moment. Been getting back into Big Wreck since then. I can't believe I had never heard of them before last year or so.

Also, I've been listening to early Our Lady Peace and desperately wishing they hadn't gotten so terrible, or that there were another band with a similar sound that I could get into.

I'm listening to Buzz Aldridge speak live in front of a university campus audience.

Creep: Radiohead.

Also anything from Kanye West. Just thought I'd throw in the most important, most influential, talented musician of the past 15 years, and see how people react.

My reaction is that it's a silly thing to say, because there is no way to ever get a concensus on any of those things. No one has listened to music from every artist of the last 15 years in order to compare, and import and influence won't be truly known until a long time from now anyway (probably still won't be a concensus then either).

I'm really into Schubert lately, I even learned his duet piece Marche Militaire 3. This is a nice swift from my all time favorite Mozart.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Wonderfull. I played the fantasy in f minor (4 hands), also extrememly beautiful (although I have to say that I know comparably little of schubert's music-really is something I should catch up upon some day). 

 

My personal favorit in (romantik) piano music would be liszts si minor sonata (wonderfull interpretation by Zimmermann on youtube)



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.
