What Are You Listening to Now 7.0

I'm not actually "listening" to them, but for some reason I have Asia songs running through my head. "Only Time Will Tell." Somebody help. It's like tinnitus, with guitars.
 
Pulled this up because I'm thinking through a related story idea. One of the most powerful movie-of-a-musical endings ever, I think, because it adds so much more to what can be done on stage, with its depictions of Vietnam, mass protests at the White House and so on. But musically, it's also fantastic. There's a real moment of musical frisson at the 3 minute mark when the duet comes in, followed by the swell into the chorus, and underpinned by the funky bass and percussion. Would love to see this again on stage (and not just because of the nude scene!).

 
Korn's Requiem Mass album.

Not my normal listening, but it helps get into the head of one of my characters.
 

Out of the blue since I haven't heard this in years, it was playing on the jukebox in my head when I woke this morning. This links to a playlist of the full album. I'm a puddle right now.

Listening to it now I realize for the first time that the masterful storytelling, changes, volume of words, and emotional impact remind me of early Bruce.

I don't know if Eurovision is geoblocked in the USA this year, but y'all should be watching it. Some incredible entries, including the winner (Austria).

 
Currently a playlist of clubtechno, disney, and musicals. At the moment right now, "Me Ol Bamboo"
 
OM actual God. Remember a couple of years back that Lewis couldn't finish his set ( he has Tourettes ) That time the crowd stood in and sang for him. This year he was fine, but I'm in floods 😢 This guy can write a melody!
