Video Break
>> Saturday, December 19, 2009
Something I never do is put in videos. One reason is that I rarely watch other people's other people's videos. Well, I'm having to take a hypocrisy break and embed some videos. Why? Because these are so cool.
You may or or may not know but I have a real fondness for vocal music, particularly well harmonized music. Well, my mother-in-law pointed me to this group called Straight no Chaser, a men's A Capella ground from Indiana University. Wow!
I'm starting with one they apparently sang in a random Hardy's, but there's some lovely staged stuff, too. Then, I'll be going to figure out how I can buy some of this. Incredible. Kudo's, gentlemen. Lovely!
Stand By Me
Carol of the Bells (and I never thought I'd admire an all-male rendition - I love the soprano part)
The Lion Sleeps Tonight
And this is my favorite version EVER of 12 Days of Christmas
Awesome choices...
I would not have watched these, so I’m glad you posted them.
thx
These guys were either on TV in the last week or they played a concert somewhere in RI or southeastern MA. The two guys who pretty much do everything on WADK, the Newport AM radio station, can't seem to talk about anything but Straight No Chaser. And I agree, these guys are good, but I really like their jazz stuff even better.
Wow! Fantastic! I love a capella too. Are you watching "The Sing-Off"? The Beelzebubs from Tufts University are very much like these groups.
I liked them so much I did something I never do - I bought tickets to a concert they're going to do in May here in Houston.
I am not sure I really appreciate you posting that video. Went shopping on iTunes where they have 4 records. Merry Christmas to me from me!
I bought the mp3s from amazon.com myself, flemlisa
I never bother with watching videos on my computer either ... but I will watch these when Ross finally crawls out of bed just cuz its you posting them.
Wow! They are good.
