My only English option is an artist that everybody knows, Patti Smith. Hmm . .



Just to remind you that from my point of view the topic (as pretty much all topics before) can be interpreted broadly and generously. Obviously I won't get in the way of your having a controversy with yourself, but as far as I'm concerned, there are no different requirements for suggestions in English or any other language, and to what extent the main focus is on the lyrics or on the use of words as part of the musical expression is entirely up to you.

I was just thinking out loud. I put myself in a dilemma. I mean, I knew from the beginning that picking a piece with lyrics in a language other than English was risky since I can't expect that everybody reads the translation. The stregth of my French group is definitely in their lyrics. They are actually my favourites last but not least because I believe that not everybody knows them. I'll think about it once again.

Well people like me who have a tendency to ignore lyrics unless they positively jump at me may even manage to listen around English lyrics... you may wonder why I chose this topic then, but actually I think that the spoken voice is a great musical instrument if used well, as some of the suggestions testify perfectly. Not sure whether that surprises you but I'm by far not as much bothered about what they say in Bug Powder Dust than how it sounds. And then I lived in London for 10+ years, so the language should not be a problem.

Hmm, it would have been helpful if you had mentioned that in the theme descritpion a bit more clearly. But it doesn't matter now. The main thing is to share and discuss the music.

I think it wouldn't, because as I said, I'm absolutely fine with people getting something else out of the topic than I do.

Anthony Joseph's one is fine but maybe not among the top three of the whole bunch. (I'd choose it over King Missile though.)

So, I thought to nominate Anthony Joseph, because it is the shortest one, but you are actually begging me to oblige you to listen to all the 22 minutes of I Trawl the Megahertz, aren't you? Tongue
I'm actually a bit surprised that nobody, so far, seems to know it - I thought it was very well known...

^ I hadn't heard "I Trawl the Megahertz" before I don't think (seemed to know the name), but I truly adore it. It would at least get my vote. I liked the Anthony Joseph too.

I nominate:

Arnold Schoenberg: Pierrot Lunaire, Serenade

Christine Schaefer & Ensemble Intercontemporain, conducted by Pierre Boulez

Pretty edgy but at least artistically a worthy choice imo.

OK then... You'll have to schedule in those 22 minutes somewhere, Lewian: I nominate Paddy McAloon's I Trawl the Megahertz.

He created this while suffering from an eye disease that made him partially and temporarily blind. He recorded daily life stories from the CB-radio and that led to this piece. Not necessarily a masterpiece - it goes on and on and on - but quite fascinating, I think; maybe because it is going on and on and on in the right way... Ermm

22 minutes?

OK let's see what we have...

I have nominations from:
Logan
The Anders
jamesbaldwin
Snicolette
Shadowyzard
Cristi
mathman
suitkees
Mirakaze
Mila-13

Only one suggestion (therefore clear as nomination) from:
Easy Money
wiz_d_kidd
tigerfeet

Nomination still missing from:
JD
I prophesy disaster
dr wu23

...an myself. Thanks for all who commented on my stuff! Nice to read... I have decided that the Red Snapper one is too much singing and too little talk, and I wanted to bring some proper rap in, so I'll go with Kruder & Dorfmeister (Bomb the Bass remix).

The other three, please tell me your nominations soon! I plan to open the voting at some point tomorrow.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Playlist! Note: the Anders' entry is separate because it was tagged as made for kids and such videos can't be added to playlists.

Now that is weird....

But there must be some kind of explanation.
