Open Thread 2 + Pic Spam

[greywing]

I was thinking about having an Open Thread maybe once a month (first Friday of every month?), but we'll see how it goes biweekly. (I just checked and the other Open Thread was only eight posts ago, lol.)

Again, this is a free-for-all thread. Throw out your questions, random thoughts, inspirational quotes, fun facts, what-have-you. Please keep it

Well, I might as well jump on the "share music" bandwagon then.

Thanks for sharing DCPRG. I'm interested now.

But holy crap, Cziffra. With any instrument, you have your contest winners, and then on a step up you have your touring soloists, and then waaaaay above that you have your virtuosos. Dayum.
In the piano vein, Hiromi Uehara: she writes her own music with a lot of experimentation, and can seriously key-mash.

Lol, I have a Piazzolla Greatest Hits AND both Silk Road CDs. Piazzolla is indeed awesome. I personally prefer Oblivion, but Yo-yo Ma definitely adds to the greatness of Libertango. If you like classical music check out his concerto for bandoneon. It blew my mind the first time I heard it.

Ha, now I kind of want someone to audiodub 2NE1's performance with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUx_Wjx_2ek

Percussion background demanding some promotion:
