I just heard about that band a couple days ago and I like 'em. Reccommend me music please. Any genre will do.

PS: Classical would be great. I feel like I'm culturally lacking lately.

Yeah.
Lipsyncing. I love that shit.


I liked Your Touch, Thickfreakedness, Everywhere I Go, and Just Got to Be. Awesome stuff!

The bluesyness (definitely not a word) is great.

Ah, classical I can do. tongue.gif

Bach - Double concerto for 2 violins, Brandenburg concertos
Beethoven - String quartets, Symphony No. 3, piano sonatas.
Mendelssohn - Violin concerto in E minor
Debussy - Any solo piano music
Vaughan Williams - Anything ever written by him but especially The Lark Ascending and Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis.
Rachmaninoff - Piano concertos.
Stravinsky - The Firebird and The Rite of Spring. They're both a bit odd on first hearing but works of genius.
Shostakovich- All of the Symphonies, Violin concertos and Cello concertos but like Vaughan Williams, basically anything.

If you do that, check out Allegri's Miserere too. It was written in the 17th century and kept secret within the Vatican for 100 years, until Mozart (aged 14) heard it while visiting the Vatican and transcribed it from memory. Yes, Mozart was the world's first known music pirate.

Here's a recording.

<3 the Miserere usually but I really don't like the treble they have in that recording. wacko.gif

Ooh, also look up Tallis' Spem in Alium, that's pretty incredible. Composing a piece for 40 individual voices in 1570 is just amazing.
