[JBL 4645]

A rather cool pop song back in the early 80’s “Blue Monday” and True Faith by New Order.



How does it feel to treat me like you do?
When you've your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me, how do I feel
Tell me now, How do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now, how should I feel

Now I stand here waiting...
I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold



I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

When I was a very small boy,
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I used to think that the day would never come

I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

Ashley, one of my favorite songs AND videos is "Regret" by New order. Good job posting the band here.

On to my small contribution, I must not be the only Glenn Gould appreciator here. His The Solo Piano Music of Arnold Schoenberg recording was my favorite piece of vinyl, and music, for at least ten years. I have returned to him by way of Bill Evans, who is my other favorite pianist. Evans recorded Conversations With Myself, I belatedly discovered, on the legendary Steinway favored by Gould, CD 318. This stimulated a re immersion in Gould's recordings.

This fragment of some documentary about Gould has a clip of Bernstein conducting and Gould playing Bach's D minor keyboard concerto, BWV 1052. It starts at about 3:50 and runs three minutes. I learned a new word, decresendo, from this. Hearing Glenn Gould's in this video is one of the musical highlights of my entire life. It is the passage where the orchestra lays out and the piano gets softer and softer...and softer. Holding perfect timing and articulation the entire time. But the whole clip is great. Remember that before Glenn Gould these works were performed largely on the nearly expressionless harpsichord, or the pipe organ.

My own warped worldview of the piano is that Bill Evans and Glenn Gould were the two greatest geniuses of the instrument and had very much in common. They also mutually admired each others work. In my universe Evans was the greatest improviser on the keyboard that ever recorded, and Gould was the greatest interpreter of J S Bach who ever lived. Since Bach was the most accomplished musician who ever lived and Jazz has been history's highest flowering of musical improvisation, that means that these men were pretty special. In their respective fields they were the masters of expression. But never mind that they were great pianists. What matters is they were Great - capital G - musicians.

Hi Clark!

I recently caught an episode of American Masters on PBS that was dedicated to Glenn Gould, very interesting documentary and certainly a very talented individual.


Hoerninger, thank you for posting the entire concert

So much Music!

Ground control to Major Tom.

Make of this what you will. I have to give these people credit and appreciate them.

Unrelated, the US Navy has six major and eight chamber ensembles, not just their excellent concert band, and one of them is Country Current. It is a very good country band and a terrific Bluegrass outfit.

The Commodores are a very good, and adventuresome, Jazz ensemble. If you like big Jazz bands, check them out.

This clip from the Harp/Flute Duo is sweet.

There are lots of sound files on the site, and some presence on Youtube. I am a complete sucker for any Navy version of "Eternal Father" and there are several on the official site. There are also sound files of most of the national anthems.

There's a story behind how I found out about this video. The short version is that a woman from India whom I helped one day suggested that I check out several of her favorite movies and nearly a year later my wife and I finally took the time required for the two of us to get through anything of this length. She loved it, I got a cavity. Thanks to the woman from India with her love of Bollywood though. We've seen some very good movies thanks to her and my wife has loved them all.

Bachna Ae Haseeno (Khuda Jaane) FULL SONG *HQ*

The vocals sound great on JBL's. I can empathize with the appeal.

I had to laugh when I read this review.

U.S. critic Maitland McDonagh, who reviewed the film for both TVGuide.com and Time Out New York, said in the former that this "cocoon of brightly costumed beauties, gorgeous locations, bouncy musical numbers and breathless romance...is slick, mainstream entertainment with just enough surprises that you don't have to feel like a fool for enjoying it".[14]

It has been said that Glenn Gould was the greatest Canadian that ever sat down in front of a piano.

Died way to young at 50

And same with Bill Evans dead at 51

Some good info on there lives on wikipedia

I saw this, trailer at the cinema before War of the Worlds started and guess what loudspeakers were behind the screen?
Yes that’s right JBL 4675-A THX approved with JBL 4645 sub bass system.

[JBL 4645]

My JBL can do with a bit “Old Spice” the mark of classical music!

At last, a new female voice with a edge. Stick around for the third song, "Rolling In The Deep." A no oversouling zone, by the way. It seems she is only 22.

Again, why do USA pop princesses have to suck? The collective taste here must be really low class.

[JBL 4645]

This had brilliant DOLBY STEREO ending set against the time-lapse footage of clouds and Van Halen “respect the wind” sounded magnificent on the JBL 4675-A and 4645 THX approved in the local cinema.

I turn up the low end a bit on my JBL sound system making sure to keep an 85dba range while dbc is a bit higher at around 100dbc on the windy Van bass Halen lows.
