[Music] The Beatles – Blackbird
Though my favorite Beatles song is George Harrison’s While My Guitar Gently Weeps (in a bare acoustic setting), this is definitely #2 as I get older.

A magnificent compilation of some of the finest experimental music from Hungary, produced by the Hungaroton label.

[Music] Léon Theremin Playing His Own Instrument

[Music] Scott Walker – The Seventh Seal
How many people do you know who could seamlessly pull off an Ingmar Bergman reference in a song? Scott Walker does so admirably.
[Music] Mike Oldfield – Tubular Bells (Live at Montreux 1981)
Tubular Bells, performed by Mike Oldfield and his band, is a masterpiece of progressive rock. Here is it in a live context.
[Music] Rodriguez – Sugar Man
Sixto Rodriguez’s story is a pretty incredible one. A Mexican-American folk singer from Detroit who didn’t sell too many albums, but did manage to have a good tour of Australia, and then fell into obscurity, or so he thought. He ended up outselling Elvis Presley in South Africa, and fans from there hunted him down. The movie Searching For Sugar Man documents his rise, fall, and rise back to popularity.
[Music] McCoy Tyner – Passion Dance
McCoy Tyner here, featuring Elvin Jones on drums, Ron Carter on bass and Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone.
The song is from The Real McCoy on Blue Note Records.
[Music] Can – Geheim (Half Past One) [Peel Sessions]
[Music] Emilio de Gogorza – Chanson de la Touraine (1919)
Emilio de Gogorza was a Spanish-American baritone who was at his peak during the early part of the 20th Century. Here he is performing a song from Panurge by Jules Massenet.
