Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh goody! I do enjoy the variations. Thanks Raq.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This looks awesome: Christmas with Colonel Sanders

...featuring the deep-fried musical stylings of Chet Atkins, Henry Mancini, and Harry Belafonte.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Check out the new U2 video. A music fan's dream and beautifully done.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

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!
