I feel so EMPTY. Christ I need some music to fill me up and give me a semblance of a soul.

[leeroysphitz]

Any thoughts?

[Skittles]

1. you want I should kick your empty ass, leeroy?

I will play music while I do it - yes INDEED

[leeroysphitz]

3. That, to me, sounds like a little piece of heaven right now. KICK away Skittles.

but please, all I ask is no alt. country or nu-metal... :[

[Tuesday Afternoon]

2. perhaps...you need a reason?

[leeroysphitz]

4. Oh god yes! A reason, a cause or a POINT would do wonders for my outlook.

Thanks. :)

[S n o w b a l l]

31. More reasons...

Feel better soon!

[Shell Beau]

5. If you want to laugh your ass off, watch R. Kelly's "Trapped in

the CLoset" parts 1-15! I mean you will pee your pants.

[leeroysphitz]

6. Do you have a link? I could use a good Pee. :)

[Shell Beau]

8. Now you have to dedicate some time, but remember R. Kelly takes this seriously.

And if you make it through all 12, there are like 4 more after that. You need to watch the videos with it. You will :rofl:

[leeroysphitz]

11. Please tell me is this REAL or some bizarre parody? It can'tbe a real Hi Hop Opera, can it?

Either way, I love it TOO much... :)

[Shell Beau]

36. It is real all right! That is R. Kelly for ya!

[Deep13]

7. Beethoven's 9th Symphony with chorus nt

[janx]

9. No, no, no...the Emporer Concerto! n/t

[Deep13]

12. Piano concerto no. 5?

Also a good choice.

[leeroysphitz]

10. Lol. I know begars can't be choosers but please, no Beethoven or Mozart.

They are both very tired, aren't they? How about some Orff, Rachmaninoff, or maybe some nice Mussorgsky...

[Deep13]

14. One could spend his or her whole life listening to Mozart...

...and never really know it. Beethoven was not as prolific (who was?), but I still can't say he is "tired."

If you want something different, try Bedřich Smetana.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

13. How about this?

[Deep13]

15. Looks like an Owens Corning ad.

:-)

[leeroysphitz]

16. Oh yes. Baby elephant walk. That must be just my speed. Thanks for pointing it out.

How very nearly WITTY of you. Your (legal) guardians must be so VERY proud of you.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. Just trying to help you out.

;)

[leeroysphitz]

33. Sorry. I was PUI last night and thought you were making fun of me.

Again, my apologies.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

34. Then it's my fault, too.

I'll edit out my post. ;)

Sorry. :rofl:

[vixengrl]

17. Do you like good music?

Sweet soul music?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzuTeUe9lvo

[leeroysphitz]

19. Thanx Vixengrl. I liked that until I was about 8 ys old and they started using it as a slip n slide

You understand.

[Writer]

18. Sing along to this - it does it for me every time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPEToau2cfs

[leeroysphitz]

20. LOL. I love you Writer. This is a VERY uplifting little tune. :)

[Writer]

21. I think it's more cathartic than uplifting, but I'm glad I've earned your lurve.

;)

:hug:

[leeroysphitz]

22. How can the pop culture of the 90's seem so dull, empty and vapid when the only things to compare

it too are the moronic 80's and the positively brain dead 2000's? Why should people be trying to push 200 year old un-listenable noise on me rather than recommending a vital, compelling modern artist?

[AbbeyRoad]

23. Fleet Foxes - "White Winter Hymnal"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrQRS40OKNE

[leeroysphitz]

25. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this. I've really been digging this folk rock thing lately.

Have you ever checked out a band called "Great Lakes Myth Society"? I can't recommend them highly enough.

[AbbeyRoad]

28. I haven't checked them out, but thanks for the rec

Here's a link to another song I've been listening to here lately.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pfTXtyiZLs

[leeroysphitz]

29. Wow. I am surely digging THAT. (no b.s.)

If I could take five years off from work and catch every band from a coldwater port...

[leeroysphitz]

32. In a fit of drunken piracy I downloaded both Fleet Foxes and Shearwater

I'm still digesting them both but I really like the shearwater.
I'm going to rundown to the record store and try to pick some of this up.

Thanks a bunch AR!

[Heidi]

24. This always makes me feel better.

:hi:

26. Who was ever cooler than Ruth Gordon or Cat Stevens?

No one. That's who. Thanks Heidi! :)

[Heidi]

27. I aspire to be like Maude.

What a wonderful, wonderful character. I hope you're feelin' better, leeroysphits. :hug:

[Arugula Latte]

35. I like Ray Montagne ... Great, smoky voice. He's white, but nevertheless he's got soul.
