I've just submitted a story in the 750-word challenge and remembered Vivaldi's Storm, so I listened to it again and thought 'perfect'. ( Also, I love her dress )
While I was looking at different performances I found this too - a nicely edited version of my fav film Portrait of Young Woman on Fire accompanied by the same piece. It's only 2mins 50s...

Depeche Mode- Never Let Me Down Again

Zephyr Song - RHCP

 

[MetaBob]

Three songs live from their outstanding "Earth and Sun and Moon" album, just to mix things up:

The second song, starting at 5:16, is much slower.

Until recently, I saw a barista about once a week. Now it's more like a few times a year. He picks the music in the café, and sometimes we talk about it. If I hear something I like, I pull out my music ID app, which automatically adds it to a playlist. He's fond of James Supercave (so am I, now):

A few other artists (several f-bombs in the Mindchatter track):

I tip him generously.

I grew up listening to my father’s Beatle music and this is a great Beatles cover of I’ve Just Seen a Face done by The Weeklings

Heard this yesterday, so beautiful.

Daniel Caesar and HER / Best Part

 

[Bramblethorn]

Germany's Eurovision contenders. (Don't judge me). Not sure if my pick is objectively the best song, but if it makes it through they'd be the first band to tour with Iron Maiden and compete in Eurovision in the same year. That'd be worth it just to see the genre purist rage explosions.

I quite like Frida Gold's Alle Frauen in mir sind müde but I'm not sure it's the sort of thing that does well at ESC.

Dirt Poor Robins : The Raven Locks - Act 1
(They have Act 1, Act2, and Act 3 - as a trio of linked releases.)

A polished Polish progressive rock band. I met the band leader about 10 years ago - last saw him when a (lady) friend was walking him down the corridor to her hotel room

Kathleen Edwards, one of my favorite singer-songwriters, took a 6-year hiatus from music, opening a café near Ottawa, and working behind the counter. A profound waste of profound talent, I thought, but the artist's life belongs to the artist. She probably still owns the place and still works behind the counter, but I don't live there so I don't know. Now she has emerged from self-imposed exile. Thankfully. And sharp as ever:

She had early unexpected success. SXSW, Letterman, Leno, etc etc, but I recall reading that she took extra time before her third album, Asking For Flowers (OMG Scared At Night), because she wanted to make something really good, and bless me if she didn't.

Despite her early media attention, I didn't notice until her second album, "Back To Me", for which the crackin' title song video featured John Doe as her boyfriend at the Joshua Tree Inn where Gram Parsons died, and Gram's seldom-seen daughter Polly in a cameo as a cop who pulls Kathleen over. Effing brilliant:

Anyway.

She also made one of the most joyous music videos I've ever seen, which I'm pretty sure I've praised here before. It might help if you're a hockey fan (I'm kinda but not really) and especially if you know who Marty McSorley (Wayne Gretsky's goon) is, which I didn't before this:

As brilliant as she is, Kathleen's accomplishments might not be long-duration enough to form a deep rabbit hole, so I'll add a(n arguably) gratuitous Choir! Choir! Choir! video covering Big Star's (Alex Chilton's and Chris Bell's) "Thirteen". Such a great song, done with Alex' last surviving bandmate Jody Stephens:

The only better version I've seen would be one you had to have seen with me, when a reconstituted Big Star toured a few years ago and played the entirety of their gorgeous final album (titled "Third" or "Sister Lovers") live, plus a few gems like this one from their catalog.
