Killer Queen
I came across this while I was working on a project. I was waiting for some files to load, and the files loaded just as I pressed play… so at first, I was only listening to it.
After I was done, I went back and played it again, only then realizing the multi-part harmony was all the same guy, overdubbing himself.
Very cleverly done…
Musicality…
In many TV Shows, there is a discussion of Musicality.
Myself, I have a small frame on my wall, with the words… “In Tune, In Time & With Feeling”
Wikipedia suggests that Musicality is:
a noun that means sensitivity to, knowledge of, or talent for music. The word also refers to the quality or state of being musical (aka melodiousness.) A musical person has the ability to perceive differences in pitch, rhythm and harmonies. One usually differentiates between three types of musicality: To be able to perceive music (musical receptivity), to be able to reproduce music as well as creating music (musical creativity).
Musicality may also refer to fitting a dance to the music being played, with the goal of relating the dance to the music’s rhythm, melody, and mood. Dancers usually step on the beats of the music, and may vary the size of their movements with the volume of the music. This is especially true in choreography, where dancers plan a routine of dance moves, sometimes with a specific song in mind. This is also a key characteristic of improvised swing dancing. Unlike most ballroom dances which tend to use the music as a metronome to guide the dance, Lindy Hop and West Coast swing view matching your dancing to the spirit/mood of the music is the highest goal achievable.
A friend sent me this video.
The gentleman doesn’t sing, and doesn’t dance…
Doesn’t speak.
But you HAVE to have the sound turned on… (we are talking about musicality here) …to enjoy it.
A gorgeous performance… of Juggling.
Enjoy…
Bob Blah Blah…
Friedrich Nietzsche said it best.
“I am one thing, my writings are another matter.”
I started the BobSongs Blog, because I wanted to write, and talk about my music.
However, life… (messy as it is) …got in the way.
Things sometimes tick me off, and affect me, and I feel compelled to write and explore my feelings.
So, (for instance) when news that convicted pedophile Graham James had received a pardon from the National Parole Board, and the Federal Government (tough on crime ??? Not !!!) …knew nothing about it… I was ticked.
When I was plucked from amongst other volunteers, to Run with the Olympic Torch, I wrote about it.
And, for over a hundred Blog posts… whatever the fallout, I wrote about it.
I’ve had some hate piled on me… one person, to the point that I had to block him.
But overall, the response has been positive, or it has (in some cases) inspired a debate… and that is good.
At its best, discussion brings together different viewpoints, and when done properly, is an inclusive process, showing us that we are more alike than different.
At worse, it allows me to vent, to bring to light something that I am proud of, or think deserves a bit more prominence.
There have been a LOT of very varied topics… but my original intention was to have my Songs and Songwriting featured, but my BobSongs Blog has evolved into a lot of other things.
Thus, I’ve been looking for another Blog domain, that encaptures the “everything else”-ness of my writings.
Driving down the highway, in Washington on Friday, my sweetie and I were talking about it, and that’s when we came up with…
So, from now on, the BobSongs Blog will be Music, and music-related Posts only.
Bob.. Blah… Blah… will be the home of ”What’s In Store”, Caught on the Web, Musings and other NON-Music posts.
Thanks for checking both out, and I hope to see you back here… AND there… soon !!!
