I would not normally stop what I’m doing and listen to this, but it’s Sunday afternoon so what the heck. Glad I did because I loved it and it’s now going in my collection as after lunch work day music. Thanks! ---

An exercise in monotony; I had to fight to stay awake. Plus, the “Symphony of the Superhero” is not the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, in case anyone’s confused. ---

I think we’re far enough in that I can say that the video is \*\*Cut Chemist - The Garden Live with the Seattle Symphony \*\* A turntable-spinning DJ with a symphony, playing some sort of jazz. ETA: Oh, I didn’t notice Lili Haydn, but she’s in the description. ---

Well, I liked it. Save for the lyrics which I couldn’t hear. I like simple stuff like this, and I liked the beat. Not enough to listen to it again or anything, but it was cool. I normally find music tedious these days, and this wasn’t. ---

This is a kind of music I like, though for background listening. I’ll look up this Cut Chemist fellow. ---

fair enough that you try to introduce some new music to people but…no, not for me. I found it boring at first and then annoying fairly soon after. ---

The audio & the video don’t seem to go together. I didn’t find either one to be a rewarding experience. I’m more of an Americana / Pink Floyd / Hillbilly / Robyn Hitchcock / neo-psychedelic fan. Here’s a great [example](https://soundcloud.com/slambovia/flapjacks-from-the-sky). [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stop-what-you-are-doing-right-now-and-listen-to/751778.md?page=2)
