I used to play trumpet. I was not particularly great. I have very little music-playing ability (short fingers make things hard). But I have long wanted to be able to play the piano part of "Werewolves Of London" so recently I have begun teaching myself. It's fairly easy but I'm still struggling plenty. That said, it's been really cool to do, and I'm having fun.
The question I have for y'all is, if you were to sit down at a piano (or pick up a guitar, etc.) what song would you love to be able to play? Different choices for different instruments, etc.
01. “You Stayed” – Visionist – Safe
02. “Table Top Joe” – Tom Waits – Alice
03. “Desolation Row” – Bob Dylan – Highway 61 Revisited
04. “Cold Light” – Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Fever To Tell
05. “With Arms Outstretched” – Rilo Kiley – The Execution Of All Things
06. “Gary’s Got A Boner” – The Replacements – Let It Be
07. “Suck” – Priests – Nothing Feels Natural
08. “Acetone” – Mudhoney – Piece Of Cake
09. “How To Rob (The Punk Years) – Obnox – Louder Space
10. “Coming On The Hudson (Take 3) – Thelonious Monk – Criss-Cross
Sax - Baker Street
Piano - Layla
Guitar - Sweet Child O Mine
Bass - Anything off Master of Puppets
As a trombone player, just about every track on the Peter Gunn soundtrack has a cool trombone solo on it (thank you, Henry Mancini), and the other nice trombone solo I can think of in my collection is this one:
1. Jimmy Little “Royal Telephone” Buried Country: The Story of Aboriginal County
2. Pan Sonic* “Jakso” Kulma
3. Björk “It's Not Up to You” Vespertine
4. Waco Brothers “The Fox” The Bottle Let Me Down
5. Painted Ladies “Living My Life by the Day” Painted Ladies Play Selections from “The Loner”
6. HEALTH “VICTIM” DEATH MAGIC
7. Two Fingers “Jewels and Gems (Instrumental)” Instrumentals
8. Aphex Twin “MARCHROMT30A edit 2b 96 [104.98]” Syro
9. Plastikman “Spastik Session: Part 1” Sessions*
T. Einstürzende Neubauten “Installation No.1 (Barry Adamson Mix)” Ende Neu Remixes
E. Horace Andy “Get Wise” Feel Good All Over: Anthology 1970-1976
*Notes:
2. My CD copy still says "Panasonic"
6. ♫"Know we're never gonna feel the same as it was today ♬
♫ Know we're never gonna feel again, But I still wake up and lie to myself ♬
♫ Love, your love, it's not enough"♬
9. Disc 7 of Arkives 1993-2010
Turntable: Fog's "Pneumonia" It's got like a guitar solo, but for turntable (not anything like Invisible Skratch Picklz would do for a "turntable solo").
Theremin: "Good Vibrations" (obvs.)
Piano: Something from Ryuichi Sakamoto's BTTB, Maybe "Railroad Man"
Alpenhorn: Theme from "Ricola"
Hey guys (and Pep) the Lydia Loveless re-release of the Boy Crazy e.p. and singles kicks major league ass.
