Nice idea for a thread. BostonPirate had started a similar one a while ago which I thought was pretty fun - it was cool to see other peoples interests and tastes. Construct introduced me to BWO, so that was an extra bonus.

I could have posted some cheesy trance song but decided to reach into the 'darkside' of myself. I lol'd because it is censored.

Against Me! - Don't Lose Touch

Construct introduced me to BWO, so that was an extra bonus.

My pleasure. So to continue in a similar vein, I'll show you all a group formed by the same musician who formed BWO, Alexander Bard.

Most of the groups Bard have produced mostly Euro-pop music--mostly a sort of bouncy techno dance music that is the successor to groups like ABBA. The startling exception is Vacuum. Vacuum are Alexander Bard, Marina Schiptjenko, and vocalist Mattias Lindblom. Some of the songs may sound like pop (well, sort of), but they're are much heavier. For example, "Pride in My Religion" has the Euro-pop form, but the feel (for lack of a better word) is miles away from it.



Contrast that with BWO's "The Bells of Freedom." BWO (and Euro-pop generally) is light even when it's topical. BWO are Alexander and Marina with vocalist Martin Rolinski. Jean-Pierre Barda and Dominika Peczynski (from Army of Lovers, an earlier Bard-originated group) make cameo appearances in this video.

**edit - sorry, you posted this while I was screwing around. I will try to look up "Vacuum"

**edit #2 - could you post some of your favorite BWO videos so that some of the other guys can get a taste?

I guess here is where I show you all this idiotically gay video of Magnus Carlsson (a former member of Alcazar). I can hardly imagine a vapid song, but it's so insanely catchy I can't get it out of my head for days at a time. I love it. (And yes, Magnus really is gay.)

I've already shown it to BostonPirate and centexfarmer, and they both got a kick out of it.

As for a less politically motivated song, I would love to introduce you a band, the Hush Sound. As anyone who knows me personally, I am a sucker for any "piano rock" band. This is the best "clean" version I could find on youtube (stupid youtube banning songs). The album version is amazing and you could try listening to it here.

Echo - The Hush Sound

We've got a request. Thanks. Here are a couple more. BWO started out as Bodies Without Organs (a term Alexander picked up from Gilles Deleuze meaning unrealized human potentiality), but they shortened their name to BWO after their first album. That should help explain the references in "Conquering America." (You'll have to click the links on both of these, too. It seems the crispest videos of BWO's songs are embedding disabled.)



And to show what a ballad from BWO is like, this one is really nice. It's a great song as well as a powerful video.

You're right. The sound on the video is awful. I'm really glad you included the link for the audio only. It's really beautiful. I like it. Thank you.

Not like the rest of the videos here, but still my music of choice. (certified music teacher, here, so not surprising that my favorite type of music is what I also plan to teach)

Quick background of the video: Made up of over 2000 youtube submissions from 50 countries to the composer/conductor that wrote the piece, then stitched together into a 'virtual choir'. This concept, and its execution, is actually making some pretty big waves in educational circles, as well as with the 'new media' community.

It's an amazing video, and the music is beautiful. I was about to ask about how it was done, but I decided to do a little looking around first. I noticed the ear gear on the singers, but I wanted more. Anyway, I found this vid of Whitacre explaining a little about his project and what he wanted it to do.



Thanks for introducing us to Eric Whitacre.
