Music for the end of the world

Submitted by Daenerys on Thu, 03/19/2020 - 2:54pm

I find music to be of great comfort during such crazy times. Thank goodness for Spotify. Let's share some of our favorite music. Something happy, something epic, something funny, anything. Here are some of mine:

moved away. That was when the world was black and white. I was devastated for weeks.

I pulled these from JtC's crusty old fogey collection of favorites from that quaint era of the early 1970s

Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.

@QMS Hah, that's one way to put it I guess. My Spotify library consists of over 1000 songs and pieces. It's one kind of hoarding that doesn't take away from anyone else though.

thanks!

@Daenerys
mostly in the form of albums (c/w artwork), exchanged/pirated via torrent on dial-up (midnight to 6 am free time) in the late 1990's. I use MediaMonkey to sort and play 160 gigabytes worth of tunes. They were originally stored on CD but now are on external SSD.

It was an impressive collection at parties before YouTube stole my glory.

Nancy: And swim the English Channel?
Prof: No. No. To ancient Greece where burning Sapho stood beside the wine dark sea. Wa de do da! Nancy, I’ve invented a time machine!

I saw him live once at Red Rocks. Afternoon show, maybe a dozen people there, front row. He was amazing.

@Bollox Ref Bitte schön. Like unicorns, there ain't no such thing. Me, I'll stick with Haydn for a not too dee and always melodic piece.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

After manufacturing in China ceased, air pollution went down.
Italy is seeing canals and rivers turning back to blue and birds and fish are returning.
