One of these days when I think Zhanna Aguzarova = the greatest female voice of Soviet pop muisc. Nobody like her, ever. All comparisons with Pugacheva miss the point entirely. Literally everything Aguzarova did before she left for America is in the survival kit of Russian song
Who the fuck cares about imperfections, limitations, abuse of gosepl vamps, abrupt changes in direction, questionable form, all that kind of shit anyway? FU if you do. This music is incredible. It's got drive, it's got love. It's endless. Keith's musicality has always been insane
Sun Bear Concerts. Yeah, man. I know, I know about the imperfections and limitations of the 1970s solo Jarrett (TRUST me), but when I listen to this I'm a total sucker. For 7 hours I become a new age hippie who discovered Gurdjieff and minimalism and has healing stones and shit
Isaac Hayes's version of Walk On By is one of the greatest recordings of all time for many reasons, but my favorite is the fact that it reaches its climax at approximately 7:00 and then there are still five minutes left in the song
Not an original thought in the slightest. Just an emotion. When American mutuals on here start talking about earning *and* spending (paying taxes, services, rent, etc, but also spending) sums of money that are outrageous to me, I'm like yeah guess we live in different worlds lol
I (re-)listened to every single late period Morton Feldman work, sometimes in live performance, over the past month and a half. Real ones already know there were few people in history of music operating on his level b/w 1981 and 1986, but also a lot of that music is so hilarious
