Eugene Onegin - Pyotr Tchaikovsky

Eugene Onegin - Pyotr Tchaikovsky

(the classical music piece, not the poem-novel ;))

I just read that book and then watched the movie, now I'm going to have to go seek out the music. And I've always loved Tchaikovsky so I'm anxious to hear it now that you've put the bug in my ear.

I was just listening to Dry The Rain by the Beta Band. It's such an incredible song, it has to be the most perfectly constructed song I've ever heard. You have to check it out sometime and really pay attention to how the song builds, how instruments are introduced, how new themes are brought it, or sometimes just brought out of the background and how slowly, almost inperceptably, it becomes a completely different song but still containing all those elements that were there in the beginning. I often listen to it several times in a row, wanting to make sure I catch every change and can chart the progression of the song. Seriously...you should give this song a listen, I don't think you'd be disappointed. :thumbs_up

Indeed - excellent book and excellent symphonic piece! :nod:
I have yet to see any of the film adaptions - do they seem at all worth seeing? With most literary masterpieces, I guess I have a bit of a biased fear of watching the films, but some have surprised me. :D
I wrote down your suggestion of Dry The Rain by the Beta Band, and will certainly look into it. Thanks! :thumbs_up


And as for now: What's The Frequency, Kenneth - REM

The one I saw had Ralph Fiennes as Eugene and Liv Tyler as Tatyana. I seriously don't care for Liv Tyler but I guess she wasn't all that bad and Ralph Fiennes is always excellent. As far as it staying close to the book, I do think it did a fairly good job, although it was even more brooding and dark and sloooooow moving, not just in plot but in action. I have never seen a group of actors move so slowly in all my life, it was very odd and at times distracting, although not nearly as distracting as Ralph's hair! I think it's worth seeing as long as you aren't expecting miracles. And I do understand your hesitance, I too, have many issues with literary masterpieces being made into movie, they never get it right. ;)

Right now I'm listening to From Contrary to a Tributary by a local band called Gyspy Foot.

Ralph Fiennes once had a full head of hair??? :eek:


Mercy Seat - Nick Cave And The Badseeds

It wasn't just a full head of hair, it was fancy (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00004TITS.02._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1072780949_.jpg) hair. That picture doesn't really do it justice though because the sides aren't curling quite as magnificently as they normally do but it gives you a rough idea. ;)

And just to make this post relevant...I'm listening to See A Little Light by Bob Mould.

Sajna - OST (Waisa Bhi Hota Hai)

Wow, I have to save that one to my favorites! I suppose it does not seem as odd as the mullet style (http://home.columbus.rr.com/theehlens/images/mullet.jpg), especially the kind that David Bowie (http://www.gormanfilms.com/upload/mullet-1.jpg) had, once upon a time. :lol:

I used to be really into Maiden and especially that song when I was in my metal phase in the 80's. My friends were listening to Motley Crue and Poison and I was listening to Maiden and Judas Priest but then I went to college and discovered alt rock and metal faded into the background. I do still have a fond place in my heart for it, perhaps some day I'll replace the vinyl for discs and rediscover my metal roots. ;)

And right now I'm listening to one of those college alt rockers, at least they were at the time, Bad by U2.
