Some more 1980s music... ;)
From the late 1980s, but still highly appropriate, especially now that another year has passed us by. ;)
Time-laps photography from Japan and of course, Philip Glass. Enjoy.

George Carlin on aliens and religion. ;)
Apologies if it's a repost. ;)
Here's some aural beauty for y'all

All y'all ;)
Another great Mr. Big anthem — this time from much longer ago. ;) (The opening/closing guitar riff in this one is a real killer. :belief:)
Back in the 1970s, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart did a photo shoot for a magazine to promote their new album. In the photo shoot, both women were shown with their shoulders bared, suggesting that they would have been topless or perhaps completely nude.
When Ann Wilson later on met with the editor of the magazine, he brutally asked her how her lover was doing, but by that, he did not mean to imply her boyfriend. He was actually suggesting that Ann and Nancy had a lesbian-incestuous affair going. Ann was completely outraged, and when she got home, she immediately called up Nancy and told her what had happened. Nancy was equally outraged, and so they got together and wrote "Barracuda".
Throughout the 1990s, the Wilson sisters also worked together with the guys from Alice In Chains — quite a different kind of band. More recently, they have also collaborated with country singer Gretchen Wilson — to whom they are not related, in spite of their common last name — on a tribute album for yet another musician with the Wilson last name, i.e. Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys.
This video below from 2008 brings some of those individual collaborations together...: Alice In Chains performing Heart's "Barracuda" live, with Gretchen Wilson singing Ann Wilson's lead vocals — doing an unbelievably perfect job at mimicking Ann's voice exactly as she sounded on the original recording — and with the then 53-year-old and still beautiful-as-ever Nancy Wilson providing the rhythm & backing guitar while energetically and gracefully moving about the stage as if she was only 30.
This is an absolutely killer cover version by people with great talent, of a great song with a haunting guitar and bass riff, and it has even more power behind it than the original studio version of the song as recorded by Heart in the 1970s.
That's quite the back story to one of my all time favorite songs, and a kick ass cover no doubt.
Bagpipes on its own can be so so, but when incorporated it can be ever so nice.
A little greeting from Scotland!

Glad you like them too. I never understood the bagpipes until I was sitting in the middle...surrounded by them and the drummers...it was really something! Then I understood what it was all about...hairs up on end kind of thing. ;)
