I put 8 versions of "Carol of the Bells" on Buffistarawk because of my deep love
OK, I haven't looked at what you posted, but I have the following versions if anyone wants: George Winston, Nox Arcana (gothy!) The Nylons, Steve Morse and Manuel Barrueco.
And, of course, "Carol of the Great Old Ones" by the Arkham Chorale.
Oh goody! I do enjoy the variations. Thanks Raq.
The Nylons version is probably a capella.
The Nylons version is probably a capella.
Indeed it is. Except they don't sing the words to the song, just "La la la lah"
Gah--I lost the buffistarawk login info! Can someone e-mail it to my profile addy? Thanks!
This looks awesome: Christmas with Colonel Sanders
...featuring the deep-fried musical stylings of Chet Atkins, Henry Mancini, and Harry Belafonte.
Check out the new U2 video. A music fan's dream and beautifully done.

Okay, musicistas, I need some gifting help.
I drew my uncle G. in my family's Secret Santa-type gift exchange this year, and I have no idea what to get him, besides the fact that it should be music. I know he loves jazz, and piano jazz in particular. He also really likes choral music (esp. classical or early/medieval, but I bet there's some contemporary stuff he'd like too).
So I have some idea of what he'd like, but I don't know what he has already. I'm assuming he's got the most popular & well-known examples of his favorite styles already. This is where you all come in. Anyone got any suggestions? Heard any fantastic piano-based records this year? I'm looking for recent stuff especially. If you think of something that's sort of similar, but not quite, tell me about it anyway; maybe I could introduce him to his new favorite genre! Past musical gifts he's really liked include CDs by Abdullah Ibrahim, Ney Matogrosso, and Trio Mediaeval.
Thanks in advance!
