Bartleby
Songs You Should Be Listening To
Posts
It's time to withdraw behind the curtains and let life step onto the forestage.
I'd like to thank you all for the music and the kind comments you've offered me during the time I spent scribbling on this virtual blackboard.
This Is Not a Comment Box (my hick's homage to Magritte)
Let's Wrestle is a London based-trio who write "shambolic pop songs about sniffing glue, pissing on cars and hating girls. Their tough talking is tempered by them looking like smiley twelve-year-olds. And the violent challenge their name implies is also misleading. They're actually comic nerds who named themselves after a book of David Shrigley drawings."
More info here. — Non-post: copy-paste of this.
Note: The song should be 2 minutes 39 long

Nice pick... as long as they don't start sniffing cars, hating glue and pissing on cars, these guys are ok with me
ah, i have been enundated with bands to check out today from moggers, somehow i knew you would add to the pile before the work day was thru bartleby, though it was mighty close. which is my way of saying i like these noisey bastard kids
If Mick Jagger had been a conductor, he would have been someone like Gustavo Dudamel. Yes, the reverse comparison is intentional. This 27-year-old Venezuelan has taken the classical world by storm. Blogs are touting the future Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic as an ultra-charismatic "and hottest — and youngest — conducting property around."
I would normally distrust such hype if it weren't for the BBC Proms Concert he gave at the Albert Hall in 2007 with the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela. The program was ambitious enough for any classical ensemble let alone such young musicians: Shostakovich's "Symphony No 10 in E Minor" ("monumental" was Verity Sharp's qualifier of choice) and Bernstein's "West Side Story - Symphonic Dances." But youth knows no inhibition, as the saying goes, and the orchestra proves it with brio.
Just to show you an example of their gusto, here is the second encore. The whole orchestra have put on a jacket sporting the colours of their countries proudly.
To me, this is what joy in music sounds like. — Have a lovely Sunday.

Thanks Ben -- Does this mean that your commenting/posting issues have been sorted out? I sincerely hope so.
Well, oddly I can comment on some posts and not others. But, for the first time I've seen the compose box editor as everyone else has been seeing it since the update. Perhaps some progress is being made, Fingers crossed.
