Huge Roberta Flack fan here, and also a big fan of Pomplamoose; this is the first time I've seen this.

Two simple song structures to mash-up, but because DJ Cumberbun threw metallica in too, it earned a giggle from me.
Nein!!

https://youtu.be/ZN7a9gomlB0?si=FjJC-aeKXEA33ZMvNot a huge KISS fan here, but a talented bass player I worked with in Albuquerque turned me on to some of their music, in '87-'92. Saw them here in UT, the tour where the original members rejoined and put the makeup back on. My date stood me up, but I went anyway and was absolutely floored by their show. The crowd was still whooping and hollering as we exited the Delta Center (something I'd never seen before) and then, walking back to my car, I noticed the Moon was in a lunar eclipse, blood-red.
I'll never forget that night, even though I was by myself.

New discovery for me, thanks to the Dead Wax ewetube channel. Incredibly dense and precise vocal harmonies, kind've a country-rock-CA sound. Turns out it's a brother-sister duo; having been raised in the Donnie-n-Marie era, that kinda raised the "ick" factor for me, but the music is good.

Most modern western music is based on 12-tone Equal Temperment, where an octave is divided into twelve equally-spaced "steps". It is actually a compromise, so that a harpsichord, piano, glockenspiel, marimba etc could play in any key, equally out-of-tune (if only slightly), something good horn, string, and vocal performers can adjust for automatically (I did not learn this until my last year of college jazz band, and admit I couldn't hear what the director was yelling at me about; sigh).
Here is a Bach guitar piece played on an infinitely-adjustable fretboard guitar; see if you can hear the difference.
https://youtu.be/aSWoSV7bLxs?si=6b0WG7cogCjHSmnAI've noted that Henrick, the bass player for The Dirty Loops, plays a bass that has microtonally-adjusted frets, but they're embedded (not adjustable), so (from what I've read) his bass sounds much better in certain keys, but worse in other keys (the human ear is not as finely tuned to pitch in the lower registers, and if its worth the bother, well, I can't hear it personally.)
It's even more fun to recognize that dividing an octave into 12 equally-spaced steps... why twelve? Well, that was arbitrary! African scales were divided into five steps between octaves (not sure if they were equally-spaced, @rm5 or other trained musicians here can correct me) and early slaves in the US, while trying to play their own music on instruments designed for 12-tone equal temperament, tried to bend certain notes (like the 3rd, and the 7th, downwards) and that gave us... the Blues!
Wendy Carlos released an album in my early twenties where she experimented with different tunings, both twelve-tone, but not equally-spaced, and scales that were divided into, say, 19 pitches per octave. I listened to that CD a lot, and suddenly could hear where, on pop/rock radio, those standard tunes sounded, well, OUT of tune! Give Beauty in the Beast a listen, if you want to stretch your ears for fun (while looking up that album title I noted she has released a lot more albums than I realized, and now that I can stream I've got some exploring to do).

Played this in Jr High jazz band, and drove my Dad crazy trying to learn it all on my Mom’s upright piano; I’m 65 now. This track still kills, what a fantastic recording!

RIP Greg Lake. 😔
I just learned of his passing from a short clip on EweTube from his wife. Being we're in December, this is an appropriate song to post...

This is the first time I've heard the whole song.
https://youtu.be/ERmHiaKJwtU?si=r648VxXyR6f4plCxOur whole universe was in a hot dense state
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started (wait)
The Earth began to cool
The autotrophs began to drool
Neanderthals developed tools
We built a wall (we built the pyramids)
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries
That all started with the big bang!
Bang!
Since the dawn of man is really not that long
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song
A fraction of a second and the elements were made
The bipeds stood up straight
The dinosaurs all met their fate
They tried to leave but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and Pangea
See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!
It all started with the big bang!
It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will pause and start to go the other way
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it won't be heard
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!
Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating how we're here, they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy, Descartes or Deuteronomy
It all started with the big bang!
Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big bang!

Soundtrack of 1971 movie "Friends", my first exposure to the music of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Listening to my copy of the vinyl album, clicks and pops included, purchased after seeing the movie at a local theater. The accumulation of those clicks and pops was from nightly bedtime play on an old automatic turntable without a cover. Thinking I need to purchase a Spin-Clean Record Washer for my sometimes abused old vinyl.Ubi panis, ibi patria.

Found this in the soundtrack bin when I was searching for Les Liasions Dangereuses by Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. The film had three soundtrack - wild story behind that. The Thelonius Monk version was lost until a few years back when the master tapes were discovered.
But I digress. This album was a find I did not expect:
some really great 60's Jazz.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
