princekermit earlier today posted a stunningly awesome Christmas medley of which I’d learned the first half while I was at Carnegie Mellon. (Note, I didn’t say attending)
It’s been amazingly expanded in his version. This got me searching on YouTube for other wonderful Acapella I adore.
I thought I’d post a few that are (IMNSHO) musts.
“Looking for an Echo” – The Persuasions
“Riu Chiu” – The Monkees
That’s right. And I will always be indebted to lrstrobel for this.
Also thank to lrstrobel this isn’t traditional Acapella but still amazing:
“Ave Maria” – Bobby McFerrin
“Caravan of Love” – The Housemartins
While we’re on a religious bend; I could talk for hours on this one. Listen for the chord ending:
“Now the children of the world can SEE. It’s a better place for us to BE”
“The Longest Time” – Billy Joel
“Under the Boardwalk” – True Image vs. Rockapella
True Image loses this battle hands down.
General Promo – The GrooveBarbers
Sean Altman’s group after Rockapella
“The lion sleeps tonight” – The Tokens
This is the consummate (almost)acapella piece with a stunning CGI video.
Wimoweh – Pete Seegar
the true African chant that brought the tones of Lion to the US.
“Honest Work” – Todd Rundgren
A rare live performance from Rundgren’s studio album “Acapella”. Phenomenal harmonies.
Oh yeah…
That’ll do for now.
As others have… I shall sheep… err. vermin.
Go forth.. change me.
For the first time in quite a while I watched “The Breakfast Club”
This film released my junior year of High School. To most people my age this was film was ‘our voice.’
Most people I know can tell you who they identified with in the film. They were either one of the leads or some combination of 2 maybe with just a hair of the third.
Most people also agree on one important fact. Ally Sheedy was hotter before they made her up at the end.
But watching the film I was especially struck by one passage.
“So this is it. We’re going to turn into our parents?”
“It’s unavoidable”
“Why”
“When you grow up, your heart dies.”
