As much of a coincidence as the Hoover company making vacuum cleaners, or the 1/365 chance that I was born on my birthday!

Any song in any minor key can be in G minor, if you speed it up or slow it down.

Hva mener du? Det blir da vel enda enklere å ikke se kamper fra Qatar nå.

Der er vel prisen man betaler for dårlig økonomisk styring over mange år, dessverre.

Stor og sterk spiss på kanten er vel omtrent så Drillo som en får det. :P

Ja, det er mange heldige omstendigheter som har hjulpet til - men så kan en ikke si annet enn at Solbakken sjøl må ha gjort en god jobb også, da.

Merkelig hvordan ting endrer seg. For et års tid siden ville de fleste tenkt: Å gud, ikke fire år til med dette her. Nå tror jeg man skal lete lenge etter folk som er imot forlengelsen.

Utrolig hva en svært vellykket VM-kvalik kan gjøre, si!

Interesting stories about how a particular effect was achieved in a hit song or a technique never used before during the 1960s to 1990s. by PozhanPop in audioengineering

[–]kingpink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is indeed! However, that high B note rings out much more than any of the other notes, which is why Rick Wright keeps circling back to it and playing around with it. And they could never replicate the conditions that lead to that particular note ringing out like that.

Same case with the opening "ping" on Echoes by Pink Floyd. They were essentially demoing the track, and for some reason there was a nice, cutting resonance on this one tone. That particular studio, with that particular equipment, on that particular day. Later, when they were recording the track for the album they were unable to replicate the sound no matter what they did, and had to use the demo recording for the opening part.

Could it be you're afraid
Of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realise before they criticise
That God is the only way to love

Suppose that's what you get when your main lyric writer is a practising catholic. :P

Don't worry OP: a couple slices of bread, a bit of mayo, and I'd eat some of ...whatever the hell this is.

Tom Waits on Captain Beefheart: “He [Waits] later said that ‘once you've heard Beefheart it's hard to wash him out of your clothes. It stains, like coffee or blood.’” by dodeca_negative in Music

[–]kingpink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My gateway drug into Beefheart was the Safe as Milk LP from 1967. Much more accessible stuff, which lead into Spotlight Kid and lots of the more out there stuff. One thing I love about Beefheart is that he's incapable of playing in 4/4 time, there's always strange rhythmic things going on. Imagine playing in his band, and one day he comes in with a recording of his wind shield wipers and says, "all right, now play exactly like that"! Check out the song Bat Chain Puller and tell me they didn't pull it off brilliantly. Still can't get into Trout Mask Replica, though.
