Love me some Loussier. Check out his version of Beethoven's 7th Second Movement. Awesome stuff.

That awful brain-freeze feeling when you realize that you mondegreened some lyrics to a song you've heard hundreds of times over the course of your life...
...and now you can't remember what you thought Carly was singing.
I'm diggin' it!

Ha! This is the first time I've heard anyone talk about PDQ Bach ever. I got the Wurst of his in a pile of records from God knows where and it provided hours of endless amusement. Well, make that about an hour of amusement, but still pretty good.
The gavotte was a dance (for about three centuries). Can you imagine trying to dance to this? I admire it, but I don't like it. A little too much PDQ Bach influence. Now if you could punch out the piano, maybe the bass line would be good enough ...

Is it me, or do these progressions sound a lot like Phish? 
It must be you.
Is it me, or do these progressions smell a lot like fish?
If I wanted to hear classical crap I would turn my radio dial to the lower left side.
Thankfully there is MUTE.

I'm pretty sure that Glen would despise this and JS would love it.
I agree completely.
I just need to do this and yes, it is base level. Sometimes, when you take part in democracy you just have to go through your gut and here's where it leads to - 
I'm enjoying this but I doubt a whole CD of it would get played very much here.

I hear that Beethoven dude is getting a bit on the old side as well.
Er, you're being deliberately obtuse. What's dated is the Jacques Loussier jazzifying of classics, not the classics themselves. RTFM.
Really, Really, awful unless your watching Courage the Cowardly Dog...

I wonder or Bach would dig this or not.
I would think so. His original music is swinging in its own way very much, too.

Man,I shouldn't have taken that xanax.
AWESOME! I needed that one! Thank you!

The contrapuntal fretless bass line is fab.
What a lovely comment.
Speaks volumes about the music and the audience.

More please.
Is he still alive?Playing?
Like a mouse running up and down my piano.
Beautiful!

Pretentiously baroque. Get over yourself. As they say in Ireland. What are you like?
hints of charlie brown...nice piece, love the piano!

The contrapuntal fretless bass line is fab.
Can it get any better?
This tune could have been used very effectively in Rushmore or the Royal Tenenbaums. I love it!

This is good, but I believe others have gotten it.
Check these guys out sometime:

This makes me want to drink LOTs of tea.
And that's a good thing.
Only on RP could this song follow Sonic Youth, lol.

These arrangements are sooo good!
This swings, grooves, and makes my day. Bach swings also without Loussier, but he made it clear.
Surprising, in a positive way! Normally I don't like combinations like this of classical and pop/jazz/whatever, but this one is very tasteful indeed!
My moms used to jam this CD all the time...totally dig what they're doing.
Nice job again RP.
Can't say I disagree about anything & everything fitting on RP.
That being said, I still don't like this :-)
(esp. at the hour of the morning).
I do realize that others like this & I just turn down my speakers for the few songs I don't like. No biggie.

Musicians like Bach actually started off improving in the coffee houses. kinda like spending the night playing in a club.
Yeah.

If you were to describe this to me without playing it, I would be interested. In theory, I should like this. In reality, it doesn't do much for me. Technically fine, but not much soul.
Meh...a 4.

I dig it.

College memories...I used this music in multiple audio visual assingments..
bravo!
What could be more eclectic?
