It’s great to listen to this in the car, while struggling through the Bucharest traffic. I loved this play many years ago, during my primary school years and it still brings a smile after all these years.
Enjoy Andre Rieu – Jagerchor (Hunter’s chorus) below
Don’t know why I haven’t shared this so far as it features two of my favourite bands – Rage Against The Machine and Cypress Hill. Even more, it’s a great live performance!
A great flashmob was organized in Copenhagen in April, when a classical piece was played live in the subway. The Copenhagen Phil (Sjællands Symfoniorkester) played Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt.
Byron is an artist I followed since about ten years ago, since he was playing with Kumm and Urma. Since 2006 he started the byron project and they released four albums so far. This year they are releasing their fifth, and this is special :).
“Live Underground” is a DVD that was filmed with the band playing live in the Turda salt mine. This is one of the most famous salt mines in Romania, a popular touristic place and a location considered to have great acoustics. Dan, the lead singer of byron, recently gave an interview where he explained in more detail how the show was filmed – it’s quite interesting and you can find it here (Romanian version only).
For their album release, which is going to happen of 3rd of May in Silver Church in Bucharest, the band asked the bloggers to imagine and propose a scenario to record a video for one of the band’s songs. So I thought of two of them, both of them related to the salt mine – even though I’m not so sure the guys will want to go back there :)
- first of all, I think the Zeitgeist song would fit great. The salt mine gives the impresion of a labirinth and can easily serve as setting for a prison, work camp or such. It would be a powerful video for Zeitgeist to simulate the manipulations and some of the oppresions typical for a work camp, some of them relating with the lyrics of Zeitgeist. Listen to the song for yourselves below
- another song, which I am quite fond of, is Ochii Tai. Listening to this and picturing the band playing it in the salt mine, one of the video ideas I thought of was the a boy, chasing a girl in the dark, seeing only her eyes. As I said before, the salt mine looks like a labirinth, so again the setting is there. This is one of the very few songs the band sings in Romanian and I think it deserves a video of its own :). The song is below.
What do you think? Which byron song would you like to see in a video and what would be the scenario?

This is a nice way to be close to your most devoted fans - Dave Grohl, of Foo Fighters, says he'll make good on his promise to go for beer with two Australian miners who listened to the Foo Fighters while trapped underground for two weeks.
After 500 Beatles tapes were found - with the members of the band singing, jamming and talking -, now a Jimi Hendrix new-found track is to be put up for sale. Links are here and here.
