This video just seems like it... ages poorly...

It's a new upload but looks like it was shot decades ago given how young Taco looks.

This got me to look up Rudolph Valentino for a sec. Valentino died almost a century ago from sepsis after appendix surgery - in a procedure that's fairly trivial in today's era, and was only 31 at the time.

I remember annoying people by blasting that song at full volume on repeat. Taco is still woefully underrated, IMO.

As for me right now... well...

Banned as "dangerous" when it first came out, lol.

I first heard Rumble through Death Grips...I can't believe this song is 13 years old soon :o (which means it's also almost 13 years since I saw Drive at the cinema...) Warning, rude lyrics, but what a tune!!

This is nice. I don't live far from the city of Groningen.

The church is more than 500 years old.  The site is only in Dutch :   https://www.martinikerk.nl/

Lovely.  I was surprised to be able to understand some of that and it wasn't hard to find the 'Orgels' page with the bonus Bach recording.  A great way to start the day. :)

A short translation  :

The Martini Church has two high-quality historic organs. The main organ is very famous. Organ enthusiasts from all over the world come to Groningen to hear the instrument or even to play it.

The inventor of the first electronic musical instrument, the ondes-martenot, is Maurice Martenot (1898-1980), a French cellist with an interest in radio technology. Like the theremin, this instrument, which can sound like a musical saw, was used in science-fiction classics. Avant-garde composers were also keen to experiment with it. Here you will hear an early piece by Olivier Messiaen: Oraison (1937). 

Olivier Messiaen composed for organ as well. Very Avant Garde style music.
