Does MTV exist anymore? What are they doing nowadays?  |
I quit watching MTV a long time ago. I would guess they have mostly Real World reruns
I used to download music videos often, but since I really haven't been following what's good in the music lately my downloading has stopped. The last album I bought was Feist - The Reminder back in May of last year, so it's been a while. I don't listen to radio either, so I'm really out of the loop.

Back in the 80's, a couple of friends and I would record something like a day's worth of music videos, then each one of us got a chance to copy all of the ones we wanted to keep....
I think I still have those tapes somewhere.
Currently watching The Untouchables - Free Yourself

One instrument I hear quite a lot is the erhu, sometimes known in the West as the "Chinese violin"...for the most part, it has a high pitched sound, sometimes even sounding like a woman singing...
I've become quite fond of this instrument of late, and thought I'd let others get a sample...
This piece has the erhu carrying the melody in a very popular song by Coldplay...

If you listened to the first download, you'll have no trouble recognizing the erhu in the opening of this classic anime...
http://www.sendspace.com/file/la9vpd
Finally, while the prior two pieces are excellent, this is a stupendous performance by a virtuoso erhu player...
http://www.sendspace.com/file/66vxaz
I have two close friends who are professional musicians...one is a violinist with the Houston Grand Opera and the Houston Ballet...the other is a violist with the same orchestras...both of them, after hearing the above music, were amazed by the subtlety achieved by an instrument that's relatively crude compared to the ones they play...
Anyway, I love the erhu and hope you enjoy hearing it as well...
