When you are a classical musician and the public asks you to play Queen …
@hieronymus-bush … although I’m not sure what you’ll think of it 😆
Holy hell. He has amazing technique AND he didn’t just transcribe the piece to piano, he essentially composed classical music (and honestly some neo-classical, lol) based on the melody. Plus, he kind of looks like Freddie.
People in the 1800s would've gone apeshit over this in the concert halls
Reblogging to watch later...

when bruce springsteen said “i ain’t nothing but tired”, and when he said “you’re born into this life paying for the sins of someone else’s past”, and when he said “not everyone dreams of love lasting and true”, and when he said “i wanna know if love is real”, and when he said-

One of the most interesting things I’ve noticed about non-natives appropriating our stuff is they never want anything but sage, smudging, and feathers.
Native people will share: our food, our music, our dancing, our art.
But no one is interested in those. They don’t CARE about our food and music. We never see those things in popular culture. Non-natives just want to take our religious items, because they feel entitled to the things people don’t want to share.

She was 23 here. This tiny little young wan from Ballybricken, of all bloody places, fronting her band on fecking Letterman, and playing a song that sounded like a building falling down. Absolutely unprecedented for anyone from where she came from.

Gladys Bentley (via Black History Month Spotlight: Queer black women behind the mic | AfterEllen.com)
The famous bulldagger of the Harlem Renaissance, Gladys Bentley was a lively, piano-playing blues and jazz singer. Hailing from Trinidad, Bentley performed at speakeasies (including Clam House, the most notorious gay speakeasy) across the country, clad in her famous tuxedo and top hat, boasting her sexuality, raunchy lyrics, and play on gender identity. Bentley penned a memoir, If This Be Sin, joining the ranks of other queer black intellectuals and performers in Harlem, including Langston Hughes and Ethel Waters.
Bentley married a white woman, garnering an uproar of gossip and media attention over miscegenation. However, after recording music for more than 20 years and performing with drag queens, she felt the heat of McCarthyism, being harassed by the police and publicly scorned for her gender presentation and sexuality. Trying to save her career, Bentley published an article in Ebony, claiming that she had been “cured” of lesbianism and was a “woman again.” The singer tragically passed in 1960, but her legacy lives on.

Beautiful, Awesome…dare I even say Sexy.
And then Janelle Monae’s flawlessness helps to make things better.
Okay, just wanted expose cyber-hubby radiovolume to the musical gloriousness of local Canadian hip-hop artist, k-os.
His music is virtually uncategorizable. Perhaps a mixture of hip-hop and alt rock...or just alternative hip-hop, haha.
To everyone in general, in terms of taste, it's kinda like this -- if you like Metric, Feist, Lupe Fiasco, Andre 3000, Janelle Monae, and Aloe Blacc, then you will love k-os.
Okay, now samples to enjoy.
From his album Yes! (2009):
From his album Atlantis: Hymns for Disco (2006):
From his major commercial debut studio album Exit (2002):
GET HIS MUSIC. You wont regret.
