Fuck's sake. You haven't been listening, son. I've posted at least two Alex Harvey tunes on here before. One was a spur of the moment thing in July 2009, and one was a more considered submission in, I think, October 2010.
I don't remember the exact dates, but I'm sure I've got it written down someplace.

Where were you?



Only joking. This one's good. It's about the Tea Party:

One could even call it a guitarlequin, if one were so minded.

They would like Jeremy Soule, of Elder Scrolls fame. I kind of have mixed feelings about him - the new Skyrim theme seems a bit shitey to me. But the older Morrowind tune is good, and immortal, and fulfills the criteria.... Carl Orff would spin in his grave if he knew that folk were only stealing his faster bits (well, okay, his medium bits).

There has been another good populariser of classical music in recent times as well. Aye... It's a good tune once it gets started. Bit of talking first, but that can't be helped. [REFER.]

Thanks, Ahab. The classical piece that ends the scene in the film There Will Be Blood is from the third movement of Brahm’s Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 77. There’s a performance by violinist Jascha Heifetz right here.

I read up on Morrowind, and I'm guessing from what I read that a musical phrase or two, or perhaps some themes, have been lifted from Carl Orff’s cantata Carmina Burana. Listening to Morrowind-youtube-excerpt you posted, I’d have to refresh my listening of the Burana to find the phrases in Morrowind. Thanks, again, for helping me keep my ears updated .

RIP Suze Rotolo

When they began dating Dylan was largely apolitical and his set consisted mostly of decades-old folk songs. Rotolo took him to CORE (The Congress of Racial Equality) meetings and taught him much about the civil rights movement. "A lot of what I gave him was a look at how the other half lived -- left wing things that he didn't know," Rotolo told writer David Hajdu in his book Positively 4th Street. "He knew about Woody [Guthrie] and Pete Seeger, but I was working for CORE and went on youth marches for civil rights, and all that was new to him."
