🎶 The Official TTF Music Thread! 🎶
Ahah -- so you know about her. I've been posting her stuff here, and on the old Music thread, ever since I discovered her, several years ago.

Looks like she'll be getting more recognition (I hope) after being featured in the soundtrack for this movie:
 
can't see the video - something wrong with it... it said it was disabled by the owner
 
Apparently recorded for the movie soundtrack.

The James Bond franchise missed a bet by not using "Shield", IMO. As well as that of hundreds of other people. 😄

Oh well, she can do very well without them. Now, if only Kfandom had appreciated the assemblage of vocal talent that went to make up Spica:
They wouldn't have broken up, and I'd be a happy man.

Let me just say that I'm mainly posting this because Pink Floyd is my favorite band ever. I know we have at least a few members who are from Russia and obviously it's not targeted at you. What the military is doing in Ukraine is not the blame of the everyday people from Russia.

No, but you gave me the same advice for some clips that wouldn't run for me in TTF, which led me to loosen my resolve to have nothing to do with the data octopus Google. Though I do limit my trawling there to when I'm on TTF, a clip won't run here, or when I'm linking a clip from YT to TTF as I did above with Angelina's jaw-dropping performance.

Like this 1969 recording by Aretha Franklin, "It Ain't Fair", which I have on my Duane Allman Anthology Volume 2 vinyls and CDs.
Featuring two decidedly high-class sidemen, King Curtis on Saxophone 🎷🎷🎷 and "Skydog" Duane Allman on slide guitar ... 🎸🎸🎸

Well, get a load o' this -- it's freakin' hilarious! 😅

It's a year old, though, so in need of an update.
 
Does being an administrator free from following the rules?

Maybe I'm being a little unfair, as I later learned they were signed to a small company, who couldn't afford the amount of promotion necessary to break through in Kpop World.

But it's still true that KNetizens mostly expect a rigid adherence to the normal formula of Lead Singer, Main Singer, Main Dancer, Main Rapper, Main "Visual". Spica members were never great dancers, at least of the gymnastic variety, though they sometimes did a bit in performance:
(If that one doesn't work for you, this should):

But really, they much preferred just to stand there and sing:


(Sorry for the reposts, but the originals were over two years ago, and hey -- nobody cared then either! 😄)

Oh, a bit of personal TMI: Every time I see Kim Boa (blonde) my immediate initial reaction is "OMG -- is that Claire?!" (old girlfriend. Impossible-- that was a loooong time ago. But still. . .sigh. . .😢)

What was new to me was that comparison to a version by the song's writer and composer, "Screamin' Jay" Hawkins (whose picture she holds up in the run-up to her own performance). No question anymore where she took her cue for that. And she AB - SO - LUTE - LY holds her own against an awesome original.
 
Definitely. And as far as her covers of modern singers go, I notice many reactors find hers superior to the originals.

So do I. 😉
 
Was contemplating the wars in my life, and I listened to this wonderful cover of Bob Dylan's song 'Masters of War'. Such gripping feeling!
