Covid distraction 2020 music thread - BostonCard - 03-13-2020
Since we periodically have music threads on this board, and we are looking at probably not having Stanford athletics to talk about for a while, and because we all need a distraction from coronavirus, and because I really need to refresh my playlist... what are you guys all listening to.
I'll start with Tiestö's Grapevine remix:

At Spotify the people who wrote the algorithm for song suggestions did a good job.
I've been getting some really fun but random suggestions lately. One day it spun off into Norweigan boogie woogie songs.
But the one that caught my ear this week was the Scissor Sisters. I don't know how I missed them when they emerged in 2003. Think the love children of Elton John and the Bee Gees. I've had "Take Your Mama" on replay all day:

Enya and Celtic Women -- very emotionally supportive. And then classical piano. Stimulates the brain.

Per pre-covid-19, I'm listening to film scores by Ennio Morricone, mostly spaghetti westerns, but other stuff, too. This track from Il Mercenario never ceases to stir my bones (Q. Tarantino fans may recognize it from one of the Kill Bill movies, but this is the original source):

This actually came out during the past year, so it plays:

These guys were going to be performing in Seattle this coming Monday, and I had been playing with the idea of going. They only officially canceled yesterday.

Too serious for this thread? The Met Opera is doing nightly free broadcasts of opera starting Monday with Carmen. They start at 730 ET but they'll be available all evening and the next day.

Ok, I'll play. This was a song done by some Stanford students on a European study abroad program with Prof Mark Applebaum, who just happened to be friends with some pretty internationally renowned music producers. They gave the students music tracks and the students in groups of 3-4 had to write lyrics and make a video. Yes, my daughter was involved, so be nice. :)

Here's what I listened to while doing some work this morning...
1. Giant Steps, John Coltrane
2. Strange Ways Hear We Come, The Smiths
3. Kind of Blue, Miles Davis
Over the past few days, I've also had Son House in heavy rotation. He's my current obsession.

Wow, that song and the video are amazingly professional for a student project.

Although the topic has covid in it, it is a music thread.
I saw this article in Rolling Stone about a 35 year old mystery song from the eighties.

Here is an inspirational (for me at least) link to a Chino Hills high school choir working remotely:

A singer-songwriter friend of mine is writing and performing a new song cycle she is calling "Songs of Social Distance"
She's posted 5 on Youtube so far: "Quarantined" "Blizzard" "Swiffer Swiffer" "These Different Days" and "The Truth"

Not my kind of music, but in light of Kenny Rogers' recent death, here's his rendition of The Gambler:

New season of Luther (with Idris Elba) is now streaming on Amazon. Saw the trailer, which featured this haunting rendition of Britney Spears’ Toxic, which I dare say is better than the original:
https://youtu.be/yL7IRngzIdk
And if you are stuck at home looking for something to stream, The first four seasons of Luther are awesome; I’m looking forward to season 5.

Idris was one of the first celebs to test positive for SARS CoV-2.
Season three of Ozark came out yesterday. First episode was pretty darned good.
