What are you listening to right now?

[AI-team]

Otto Knows vs. Calvin Harris - ID Flashback (Avicii Bootleg)
Avicii <3

[Titanoboa]

if you're a musician you have to listen to it!

Haha


Edit (Aug 24 10:50 PM GMT, if anyone cares): The Beatles - Abbey Road Medley - Liked the remix, but it feels so wrong to hear the "last chord" on Her Majesty. 96% of you probably won't have any idea what I'm talking about :P

That album's a masterpiece.

Seeing Double at the Triple Rock - NoFX

[saragei]

Children of Bodom Guitar Cover of Vivaldi's Four Seasons - Summer.

Enjoyed listening to (and watching) that one. Here's one that I found similarly astounding:

(Annihilator - Crystal Ann)

[Phytotron]

Ugh, no and no. Proper: Amsterdam Guitar Trio - Vivaldi - Summer Presto

[Clutch]

Both are incredible. Acoustic one may be harder just because I always find it harder to play acoustic for some reason Maybe my strings.

[Phytotron]

You didn't even have time to listen to it!

Acoustic one may be harder....

And there's yet another problem: Valuing of a piece of music, or rendition thereof, by how "hard" (sometimes only ostensibly so) it is to play. Ugh. Music is not acrobatics.

Both of these renditions are still better than that shredder garbage:

JACQUES LOUSSIER TRIO (Sommer (Antonio Vivaldi))
Vivaldi THE FOUR SEASONS - Summer The Storm Jazz (This one is a little ridiculous, and it's still better.)

[sinewav]

Thanks for reminding me how boring Vivaldi is. Never could get into his stuff.

[Clutch]

Like sine said, I got bored. I've listen to the one I've posted a lot, and the original by Vivaldi, and just didn't feel like listening to the rest.

Did I say that? I said they were both were incredible, just that the acoustic one would be harder for me.

[Phytotron]

Yeah, "like sine said," I'm quite sure it's for the same reasons.

Did I say that?

Yes.


By the way, they're not playing steel string acoustics with a pick. They're playing concert/classical nylon string guitars with their fingers. Not that you would have recognised that.

[Clutch]

I didn't say that at all. I said they were both incredible, but one sounds harder. How am I valuing it above the other?

I look at this and see something that I would find harder to do then this, but I definitely like the NOFX song better.

Yeah, "like sine said," I'm quite sure it's for the same reasons.

I don't understand

The two only Beach Boys songs I like:

Leaving This Town
Funky Pretty

(I know Pet Sounds is called one of the best albums ever made but I just can't stand the Wilson's Bee Gee-like head voices in most songs...these ones have longer instrumental parts)
