What music are you listening to right now!?!?

[MemphisMark]

Yes indeed, I got the LP when it first came out and still play it regularly. Musically it's a bit of a hodge-podge, but the phase effects are amusing--in Mercury, there's a beep-beep sound that circles clockwise around behind you, then moves back and forth a few times before continuing back toward the speakers. I admire Tomita for pushing the envelope. I was a big Moog fan at the time; I'm the only guy I know with a copy of Wendy Carlos' Sonic Seasonings.

I have a friend that has the Walter Carlos version of that album! The one with Mozart standing in front of the Moog?

The Tomita album I bough was Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky.

Again, his interpretation is accurate musically, and with humour and drama.

Like you, Lanny I though that Tomita was a visionary, who was prepared to take music leaps and bounds further in its development.

I think you might mean Switched-on Bach.

My Sonic Seasonings jacket credits "Walter Carlos," since it came out before her Change. I just thought it was more respectful to use the artist's current name.

'Wander This World' by Jonny Lang.

This is a wonderful acoustic arrangement of this song. It came to my mind today while I was dealing with unpleasant business on the job. I had a 'what if moment' wondering had I turned right instead of left or ploughed through instead of doubling back - what would be different.

I'll never know but, you can still enjoy this tune.

No problem. I'd have never found it on my own. It was something that showed up in my Twitter feed. I've a few wacky (and fun) people followed there.

That's the first time I've seen Mister Rogers. If only his shows could be screened here.

Now, I found this gem in the PBS Studios catalogue. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YLO7tCdBVrA

We loved watching him paint.

I remember seeing a few of these. It was fascinating.

Hmm, I wonder if you could follow along with him on the iPad. Art Rage would probably be a good app to give it a go with. I'd need to do a 'lot' of pausing.
