Something for #TuneTuesday which I have rarely tuned into. #PaletteMusic

Since this is on my favs list, it gets primacy of placement

This #TuneTuesday 's theme is #MyGoldenOldie - the oldest song on your personal playlist.

Shamefully, even I can't weeb this one up!

I am going to count "things that there could have been an album of when they came out" because otherwise I'd have to spend a lot of time chasing this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_classical_music_composers_by_era 😝

Considering when the phonograph came out and commercial recordings could start being sold, it seems likely to be a John Philip Sousa or Scott Joplin?

I'll give it here, as I used to listen to Joplin basically on repeat.

Apparently this #TuneTuesday theme is #NonLexicalVocals

Oh no! Another excuse to post Yoko Kanno and a track from some of the best OST of all time in Macross Plus? Heaven forfend!

For a #TuneTuesday that is #WideOpenSpaces I, for once, am compelled to start non-weebishly. (Which does not mean I will ONLY...)

A composer I leaned into heavily as a young'in, and basically "equates to wide open landscapes" is Aaron Copland. And while everyone knows at least a little from cultural osmosis (like Fanfare for the Common Man), I'm here to convince you to take in a ballet. (Well, the orchestral arrangement of a ballet he composed.)

It's only 25 minutes, what else you got going on? 😝

First link has marvelous wide-open imagery, and the second has Copland conducting, which is super-cool.

It is overall... a lot to take in. Mountains' worth! And well worth it.

Holy shnikes, with #TuneTuesday being #BigCrescendos it has happened upon one of my very favorite things, which I was recently discussing with a friend.

My form is not "volume" related, so much as "start out slow and soft, keep adding instruments and phrases, and top out right before the end of the song magnificently" and my first example of this is just a simple background track from Kimagure Orange Road

One others may have heard before is the ending music of Gundam F91, Eternal Wind:

...and the most-popular IP but probably a relatively-unknown album, Pray from Final Fantasy: https://youtu.be/glz2S-qWBZ8?si=vQ3bO5RCSGgOCuR5

I'll go hunt for more later, but these are my Big Three

A #BlackMagic #TuneTuesday you say?

Looks like I can not resist.

Today's #TuneTuesday theme is #SteppingStonesSongs (or #SteppingStoneSongs) - songs that introduce you to a specific (sub(sub(sub)))genre of music.

This will require a bit more thought than "throwing something up right before I head to work" so to start, I will toss out for #AniSong specifically--anime theme songs, which are usually their own takes within and around #JPop or #JRock or otherwise.

And the one that looms largest for me is "Konya we Hurricane"
from Bubblegum Crisis (1987) - by Kinuko Oomori

It does a marvelous job linking "the MTV Generation" to anime, including titillation and action and sci-fi horror aspects in the opening scenes of BGC, and a fully 80's-captured style in the music video.

#TuneTuesday is looking for sad songs to make you cry. I am going to add a layer of "if you know, you know" to start.

Starting with...

This #TuneTuesday is #ChristmassyStuff and since the Weird Al song was already claimed, we gots to steer weeb!

Or maybe I should be searching for a Chinese song of some sort, like a good Jew should for Christmas. 😝

A #TuneTuesday which either explodes or implodes, you say?

Obviously the only possible answer are Megumin AMVs

...or the original, of course, but it's harder to find Slayers AMVs and there's less-concentrated huge explosions. Someone should fix this!

@cthellis I was just thinking about the heyday of AMVs, it's nice to see some again!

@SaberaMesia Amusingly my personal heyday is, like, 1997-2001. Used to grab copies of the Otakon and Katsucon AMV contests when I could. Wish I could find some of them these days to pursue lost media!

Amusingly the last few years, Otakon has been doing Sunday panels of those oldest ones. (Like, “thirty years ago AMV contests”!)

@cthellis I staffed Otakon from something like 2003 - 2013, and I used to love going to the AMV contents there and at Katsu. Ah, the good old days (in that particular way)
@SaberaMesia I staffed Otakon in those days (the years I mentioned) but dropped in 2001 for various reasons, and got out of conning for a while. Not sure when Matt Pyson stopped running video things, but hanging with him and Duane and the crew was always a fun time.
