For much of the 1970s and early 1980s, Styx was the biggest thing on the planet. They had 4 consecutive multi-platinum albums and 16 top-40 singles in the United State, 8 of which hit the top 10. They sold out stadiums all over the world. Although Dennis DeYoung sang lead on many of the tracks, Tommy Shaw and James “J.Y.” Young also sang lead vocals.
I found this on the intewebs yesterday. I thought I would share it.
OneRepublic was on Fallon a few weeks ago. It was an excellent performance. I downloaded the video because I thought I would enjoy it again in the future. I just played it again today. It was just as good as the first time. Thought I would share.
The very first song played on MTV on August, 1, 1981 at 12:01 AM was Video Killed The Radio Star by The Buggles. The band broke up in 1982 but they reunited (in some form or another) for special events and charity concerts in 1998, 2004, and 2010-2010.
On November 11, 2004, The Buggles reunited to perform Video Killed the Radio Star and The Plastic Age as part of a The Prince's Trust charity concert celebrating Trevor Horn's career as a producer. The following video is from that concert. IMHO, it sounds just as good (or better) than the studio recording.
- La paloma
"La Paloma", known in English as "No More", is a popular Spanish song that has been produced and reinterpreted in diverse cultures, settings, arrangements,
and recordings over the last 140 years.
The song was composed and written by the Spanish composer from the Basque region Sebastián Iradier (later Yradier) in the 1850s.
In 1879, it was registered at the copyright office in Madrid as a "Cancion Americana con acompañamiento de Piano".
Iradier was to die in obscurity within few years, never to learn how popular his song would become.
Not complaining but there is a "squawk squawk" sound in there that is a little unusual. I don't know what it is. You can listen to it for yourself. Starting at 0.35. Bassoon with the signature 5-note sound, the flute with the follow up, and then "squawk squawk". This happens several times throughout the piece.
Other than that, this is by far my favorite. Full orchestra and full choir. My only complaint is that it is too short.

Yes, someone in the orchestra is playing that "squawk squawk" sound. I just don't know what instrument it is.

Well, there's a 50/50 chance that you'll like Taylor Swift's "Folklore" album - that has been made available at 00:00 this day. Google's YT is your friend too
