If you have an opportunity to play this at extremely high volume with a body-rockin subwoofer, without hurting the people and animals around you, you just might catch a spiritual experience off this track.

it sucks that there aren't many live videos of this one

Plus ça change

Plus c'est la même chose

With an awesome commie video. I can't take the credit for finding this, one of our comrades introduced me to it.

This video is a deep dive into Wagner’s Tristan chord, the most famous and enigmatic harmonic event in history.

Matthew King explains the chord from a number of perspectives, and helps to put this microcosm of Wagner’s genius into a broader dramatic and historical context, with some discussion of Wagner’s development, and a quick survey of subsequent literary and musical events that occurred under the spell of Tristan und Isolde.

Friedrich Nietzsche, who in his younger years was a close friend of Wagner’s, wrote that, for him, "Tristan and Isolde is the real opus metaphysicum of all art... insatiable and sweet craving for the secrets of night and death. . . it is overpowering in its simple grandeur". In 1868 he wrote about the effect of the Prelude: "I simply cannot bring myself to remain critically aloof from this music; every nerve in me is a-twitch, and it has been a long time since I had such a lasting sense of ecstasy as with this overture". Long after his split with Wagner, he still admired Tristan und Isolde: "Even now I am still in search of a work which exercises such a dangerous fascination, such a spine-tingling and blissful infinity as Tristan — I have sought in vain, in every art."

A really interesting sociopolitical look at Tristan und Isolde as object-subject dichotomy and then dissecting the famous chord. Tristan Chord is the Root of Modern Music Gang.

Kinda lib but it's King Crimson so who cares

This is clearly the most powerful thing music has ever done if you're really putting numbers on the board. An evil bard enchants your presidential candidate to fall flat on her face. This almost makes brat cool again.

Also she performed Guess and half of it was censored.

So I'm watching the Grammies and I see a music video starting, and it's fucking Gaga (Abracadabra was the song). Like Classic Gaga. I fucking hated Andy Worhol Gaga, Tony Bennette and Target PRIDE Gaga. But it was fucking classic fucking Lady Gaga like Fame, and Fame Monster. She was so great, she was giving Griffith Berzerk and Bloodborne in the same fucking video. It was true to her fucking roots in custom couture that you'd mistake for Alexander McQueen.

It's a fucking Mastercard commercial. I'm gonna kill myself.
