Default How Well Do Ledgies Know One Another?

How well do ledgies know one another? Pick a ledgie & recommend something you think that ledgie might like. I'll start.

Trackaghost/Sharon:

I think you'd enjoy the opening theme of Bernard Herrmann's score for Vertigo. You have commented on underground bands that combine great hooks with experimentation, & you have said you like movies with strong personal styles. So I figured you'd love the music that plays underneath the opening credits (& is also used thematically throughout the score). Those mysterious triplets that sound so perverse & unsettled complement the images of derailed -- indeed, deranged -- individuals.

What I don't know is whether the opening musical motif is more accurately called a polychord (Eb minor + D major) or an augmented chord. It's not that important, but it's bugging me.

You know what's really weird David? I was watching Vertigo just the other day. That's pretty spooky or maybe you do really know me well.

Do I choose something for another Ledgie then?

Well, I think Peestie might like the Dirty Projectors because he likes interesting time signatures and bands that mix atmospheric folk with rock sounds.

I thought that Chilli D might enjoy "Hey Hey" by Big Bill Broonzy.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to embed videos in here -
here's the link:
