Since I don't really have any unfinished fic snippets to clear out this year or anything. XD; I think I'll continue doing this, though? And actually answer some comments.

Patrick Wolf singing Tristan while dressed pretty much normally, for a Yuki Kaori manga (unlike the recent fin-de-tour concert which was the combined sartorial highlights of Bjork and Morrissey, and which apparently ended with him ritually faking his own death onstage. With blood). This is probably the best performance capture of this particular song extant, because it's hard to take decent video when there's like a thousand teenaged fangirls screaming and indiscriminately elbowing.


Final Fantasy covering Joanna Newsom's Peach Plum Pear. I may have learnt to rip audio from Youtube in order to rip this, don't judge ok. It is the sparkliest thing ever. In fact FF covers remind me of nothing so much as Tsuji Ayano's covers of Spitz and the like - and they're playable back to back. Cherry, peach, plum, ahahaha. Yeah, I'll stop. I just found out there's a properly released version of this that's out of print, which annoys me more than if there never were a properly released version in the first place.


While I'm at it, here's Final Fantasy covering the first four tracks of Orchestral Maneuvres in the Dark's Dazzle Ships. This is basically of no interest if you're not conversant with OMD, heathens - in fact the audience seemed to have no idea what was going on - but geebus, 'Telegraph' arranged for violins. Kill me now.


Debussy's Clair De Lune, visual sequencer version. Remember I keep talking about seeing techno as coloured bars? It's pretty much like this.


Pete Doherty, as always looking like death warmed over, gives a stunningly lovely take of a stunningly lovely song (called Darksome Sea, for the record, and is essentially unavailable). This is apparently a clip from some documentary and does that thing the prevalent strain of RPS prose is designed to do and 35mm invariably does without trying. My basic tenet of music appreciation is that there's no such thing as a guilty pleasure, but I'm embarrassed to admit that I really love Pete Doherty's voice. XD;


A 50-minute documentary on Kanno Yoko, circa Turn A Gundam. Cutest genius composer ever, or cutest genius composer ever? You be the judge!

Please, in the name of all that is good in the world, do you have an mp3 of Tristan? I heard it on Pandora some time ago and was never able to hunt it down properly.

Well, I went and searched for it on the Hype Machine (http://hypem.com/) (yr best resource). XD Try this: http://mrmammoth.blogspot.com/2007/11/awesome-song-monday-tristan.html

If it doesn't work let me know again and I'll up it. XD

I never knew about that - I usually rely on Tyoogle. You're the best!

Aw! (Re: Thank you!)

I would be fully in favor of ripping Final Fantasy covering Joanna Newsom. I've seldom heard anything as boppy and pleasant in all my days.

Embarrassment is relative. XD I'm lucky most people I know (not being British) have no idea who this guy is, so I don't have to be like "Well, I don't believe he really made his cat smoke crack."

Always loved "For Lovers", not sure I needed to know there was a sequel. XD
