I was doing great in the first half, but went too wild working the stage and my support while belting started to falter and I was struggling for the last couple of choruses and my breath control went to shit. My choir director gave me props on hitting tbe big octave jump at the end of the first verse clean with no vibrato, though i did start a full step low and slid into it, rather than going straight up.
I took second, behind a soprano soloist from our choir that got conservatory scholarships out the wazoo doing a brilliant job (for a 17 year old) on a couple of Puccini arias.

13 Years of Hatsune Miku (2007-2020) [139 SONGS]1:12:00 https://youtu.be/yWr0vDFluVU Premiering on her 13th birthday I present: 139 Miku songs by different producers put in chronological order! This is a definitive edition of the first video in my “The Many Voices of Vocaloids” series. 139 is very restricting considering just how huge Miku is, but I did my best to have the right combination of songs that were important or at least interesting in some way. In the previous version of this video I got a lot of comments asking “where’s World is Mine?” so I added a new box to let people know about a few other songs a given producer has made. I hope you enjoy this- I spent months working on it!
Flamingo - A Kero Kero Bonito Orchestration5:43 https://youtu.be/IvAXArJ4mY4 Rush Garcia: Funky flying flamingos baby. No particular reason, I just thought it'd be fun to do this. A thanks to my dad for the smooth outro of this one. As always Like Share Sub and Ring That Bell if you like what you hear, follow me on my social media to ask questions and see what I'm doing, comment below on what you think and what you'd like to hear next, and I hope you all enjoy!
Glenn Hughes/Tony Iommi's Fused is an incredibly underrated album.
Its fuckin heavy as a truck and has some real good Iommi riffing in there. Also Glenn Hughes can belt like a motherfucker. If you can find it somewhere snag it.
They also uploaded official lyrics videos for the previously released Song Machine tracks. This is unprecedented, like 80% of Gorillaz' work is unintelligible or very ambiguous, they've never done something like this before.
My favorite is the Désolé one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjB6-VR_KQU
because they left all the French and Bambara untranslated lol
Here's the rest:
I'm watching that live streamed baroness concert right now. It's cool.
I'm always surprised again how much better and clearer they sound live than recorded. Less compressed and crunchy. Even over the internet and my headphones.

They're analog players in a digital age. The songwriting is a throwback and their playing style is tailor made for filling a space and making use of ambient acoustics. The studio constricts them some and they can't let stuff breath as much as they do live.
They'd need huge rooms and outrageous micing to make a studio record flow like their live cuts.
I might spin Purple or Yellow & Green here after awhile.

I will say if their studio stuff wasn't so crunchy I could see it sounding either really hollow or over produced and that would be worse than what their albums usually end up sounding like I think.
Their albums have a way of filling out my headphones in a way that washes over me in a very comforting way much like one of their live shows just not as easy to pick apart.
Also what you said about the micing is clearly on display with this live show, this room they are in is nuts. It's full to bursting with gear too.
I am quite tired but my brain remembered a song I have not heard in forever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5PySbFS6Tg
I really do not know why my brain will remember all of a sudden songs I have not heard in a long time but thank the internet that I can find what that song was and not try to remember who it was
I'd completely forgotten the album this track is from existed until I pulled an old iPod out of a drawer yesterday and checked to see if it still worked.
The album is a collaboration between LA hip-hop producer Madlib and Ivan Conti who's the percussionist of the Brazilian jazz group Azymuth.
Perhaps because I, too, am filled with rage towards the Machine.
I was into RAtM back then but I really did not get the full message they were sending until recently
Way back when the album Evil Empire came out I got it at the record store in San Diego as the BX did not carry it
I was just made a full CPL as well so I was sitting in my barrack room painting my Escher from Necromunda when one of the PFCs came in telling me to turn it off
I point to my stripes hanging in the wall and say if you have a problem get the floor Sgt [barracks have a SGT to make sure everything is clean and no misbehaving} The Sgt comes in a few later asks what I was doing
I point to the headphones and I was painting my minis
He has the two Pfcs go pick up garbage outside
But the two PFCs and others were really my first time I dealt with the dumb stuff of the right as they really harassed anyone in the barracks that wanted to watch or do things that could be considered leftish
The movements of the song, the build from sad and intimate and pretty to bombastic and chaotic and cathartic reminds me of my favorite Sufjan Stevens stuff. And I'm always a sucker for a song about escaping a small town, especially when the journey is framed as both liberating and apocalyptic.
She also performs it on her NPR Tiny Desk Concert, with a twist that made me rather openly weep at my laptop:

I was trapped with my passive aggressive "positive thinker" aunt (think Amanda Palmer-type) over Christmas holiday who played nothing but Pantonix music for 2 days straight, so even just seeing an image of them activates a Jason Bourne-esque kill switch in me where I want to kill something with a tightly wound up magazine.
That isn't the bands fault mind, but blood will be shed tonight.

I can't stand them, not because I'm not a fan of their style of music, but because of they way they always gaze into the camera like they're trying to convince me I really should buy a share of a holiday house in Fiji, I'd get to use it 4 weeks out of any year, I just need to book the time I want it at least 12 months in advance.

Maybe it’s just time to admit that the jittery synth of the original is a better fit for Mad World than continually mashing the “slower and sadder” button.
Aldous Harding is great! My sister saw her live a couple years ago and knew right away I would dig her, so she showed me this video and I was immediately obsessed:
StraightziHere we may reign secure, and in my choice,To reign is worth ambition though in HellRegistered Userregular
I just realized that I haven't actually talked about the band that's been taking up a lot of my replay space lately here.
Long Neck is one of those bands that exists in the gray area between indie rock and (pop) punk, with a bit of folksiness in there as well. My strongest comparison might be Harvey Danger, but I don't know if that's actually accurate or just showing my hand as to how much I like them. They're catchy and sad in that way that makes them fun to sing along to while you're cooking dinner and then a lyric will just stop you in your tracks with an iron grip on your heart.
They have very little on Youtube but that's the best way to post music here, so uhh, here's both of those videos:

"I want you to touch that little dangly thang
That swang in the back of my throat"
It fucking destroyed me I am obliterated and dead
I just find the beat unlistenable
That one made me laugh.
I aimed for the moon in the talent showcase my senior year:
I was doing great in the first half, but went too wild working the stage and my support while belting started to falter and I was struggling for the last couple of choruses and my breath control went to shit. My choir director gave me props on hitting tbe big octave jump at the end of the first verse clean with no vibrato, though i did start a full step low and slid into it, rather than going straight up.

His touring days are finally over. Needs a new revenue stream and audience to support his 6-figure a month flower habit.
