Music soothes the savage liverjournaler

[annafugazzi]

No, I don't know why I'm posting so much these last few days. Or why this post looks like I'm about to get married. I'm not, by the way. Already did it; not looking to do it again.

• Something Old
  I've reorganized my song files for Volunteers and Ember to Ember. I've relinked on the lyrics pages, and thought I'd post links here as well for anyone who's interested. Mostly so that if anybody happens to want to download a song and it doesn't download, I might get a comment about it while I'm still working on the music site, rather than three months from now when I can barely remember even having a music site ;)

• Something New
  drgaellon mentioned Kevin Kline playing the Pirate King in Pirates of Penzance, and off I went looking for Kline. I've had a crush on him ever since The Big Chill. And lookie! Here he is!!
  
  In and Out. I'd forgotten about the Little Teapot scene.
  A Fish Called Wanda. I could never forget any of these scenes.
  
  
• Something Borrowed
  Somebody asked for a link to Gerry O'Kane's music (he sings a few of the songs at the end of Ember to Ember). Gerry O'Kane was an Irish musician who lived in Kingston, Ontario, for many years. He appears to have gone back to Belfast, and as far as I know, only had one tape of his music. I have no idea how to get in contact with him, or how to legally buy his music. I was going to upload my own mp3s of his one tape, but found something better: somebody else's site with all the other songs on the recording.

  02 - Marie Mac (Trad)
  03 - The Irish Ballad (T. Lehrer)
  04 - The Band Played Waltzing Matilda (E. Bogle)
  05 - The Wild Rover (Trad)
  06 - The Rocky Road to Dublin (Trad)

• Something Blue
  And OMG don't ask me how, but I ended up watching a clip of Rupert Grint and Julie Walters in Driving Lessons, and you know Rowling mentioned somewhere that it was hard keeping Ron's language PG-rated...?

Thank you for posting this list again. However I've got problems downloading some of them. I always get a message telling me the file is not valid. (I've tried to get following files: Greenman, Labour of Love, Beati Quorum, Tim Finnegan's Wake and The Irish Ballad)

I've got a 4Share account myself, so I wondered why downloading didn't work.

[annafugazzi.livejournal.com]

Hm... I got the same message, so I reuploaded the five of them and it looks like these links work:

Labour of Love (http://www.4shared.com/file/82413706/4de8ff11/E01_Labour_of_Love.html), Stephen Hatfield *

Beati Quorum (http://www.4shared.com/file/82413710/bd906b65/E03_Beati_Quorum_Via.html), Sir Charles Villiers Stanford

Tim Finnegan's Wake (http://www.4shared.com/file/82413709/dd57e280/E14_Tim_Finnegans_Wake.html), Traditional (sung by Gerry O'Kane)

The Irish Ballad (http://www.4shared.com/file/82413708/aa50d216/E16_The_Irish_Ballad.html), Tom Lehrer (sung by Gerry O'Kane)

Can't get Greenman to work... will keep working on it.

[leochi.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you so much! :-)))

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

And Shenandoah, same error.

[annafugazzi.livejournal.com]

Doh! Thank you!

Should be fixed now:

Shenandoah (http://www.4shared.com/file/82448559/bc45cada/E12_Shenandoah.html)

[gudula.livejournal.com]

And both Hallelujahs, Lacrymosa and Pachelbel go with the same error.

[annafugazzi.livejournal.com]

Doh! Thank you for letting me know!

These should be OK now...

http://www.4shared.com/file/82582454/a2270290/07_Cohen_Hallelujah.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/82522150/e9311cc3/E02_Pachelbel.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/82522139/c6b703e1/E05_Requiem_-_Lacrymosa.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/82582315/b403e187/E11_Handel_Hallelujah.html

And Green Man is also fixed, in case you were interested in that one:

Thanks! And although my comp flat out refuses to play .wma things, I still managed to find them :)

[luci0logy.livejournal.com]

Kevin Kline's Pirate king is one of my favourite roles from him and PoP is definitely my fave Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. Oh, and A Fish Called Wanda: "Don't call me stupid."

[annafugazzi.livejournal.com]

"...what was that middle thing again?"

My friends and I used to say that to each other all the time :D :D :D

[minavox.livejournal.com]

How awesome is it that you - right as I discover your series two years late - update the music??? And how appropriate to listen to the Messiah while reading Ember to Ember, as it turned out! :)

[annafugazzi.livejournal.com]

:D :D :D

I'm currently listening to the Messiah too! My choir's going to sing an entire concert of nothing but. Eeeeee!!!

[hfng.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much for posting this! :-)

But one of those files (Navy Hymn) seems is not valid.
