Stuff I Love Sunday

on a Sunday….

My son just watched this about 6 times. It’s made of awesome. And Joss Whedon.

So, awhile back I asked for some music recommendations. And you guys came through for me! Thank you for the comments, the emails (Chris sent an EPIC email, it will take months to get through it all! Yay me!), and CDs (thanks to my Jilly Beene!). So, I’ve been exploring…and have found a few things I want to share!

I discovered what you call David Garrett’s music. Finally. It’s Classical Crossover and there are whole websites dedicated to it! There’s lots of opera and other stuff, which I’m not quite into, yet, but there is the instrumental side, which I adore. I love classical music, but I’m a rocker chick too, so I love these rocking takes on classical music. I’ve heard of this group before, Escala, but never listened much. I’m hooked now you guys.

And then there is Vanessa Mae (Vivaldi Techno):

Plus, um, isn’t she gorgeous? (Toccota & Fugue):

My Andi gave me this:

Commenter Becker gave me Girlyman. Supernova is teh awesome! The music starts around 1:30…

Kathy gave me Mumford & Sons and The Black Keys! Black Keys – Toughen Up:

I’m still exploring all the suggestions, so I will report again in a couple of weeks.

Lastly, I cannot WAIT for Paranorman!!!

  1. Oh, my husband ADORES The Black Keys. Though he probably wouldn't use the word "adores" :)

  2. Do you have a playlist on Youtube? I love all of these!

      Natalie, I had no idea of such things! I am working on one now though; I'll post it soon. Thanks for the idea!

    It looks like you got tons of great recommendations. I have to admit that I rely on my son to introduce me to new music.

  4. I had fun exploring these. I really liked Escala. I think Lorrie would, too. Must remember to show him…

    That Girlyman track, is really quite good! :)

  6. Paranorman does look really good!! Neil Gaiman got a little figure in the mail and posted about it on his blog…it was adorable!! Oh and I don't remember if I told you in my email or not, but if you want any samples (aka MP3s) of any of those suggestions, just lemme know and I'll send them your way :p <3

      I saw Neil's figure! Felicia Day got one too. They are SO CUTE! And I will DEFINITELY keep that offer in mind. (pssst…. Sigur Ros???) :P

    Oh, my gosh, that Escala song is amazing! I think I'm hooked.
