To Joan Baez singing Villa Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras. Strange goes with strange. Kate Sage was married to Yves Tanguy, but I have to admit I like her work better than his.

For Captain Compassion. Quintessence Saxophone Quintet playing the Fudge Fugue in G minor. Roughly chronological for the Art History buffs. Gustav Klimt was an Austrian painter who did ceilings and walls of museums and theaters, as well as amazing portraits. There's an eroticism to his work that might not appeal to all, but his "golden phase" is breathtaking.

Roughly chronological, for the art history buffs among us. Dutch/British Academic painter. Music by the Quintessence Saxophone Quintet. I also used this music for the paintings of Franz Marc.

Two of the Academic painters who were at the center of European Academy Art, against which the Pre-Raphaelites and Impressionists were rebelling – Charles Carolus-Duran (1837-1917) and Fritz Zuber-Buhler (1822-1896). The Carolus-Duran paintings are roughly chronological, but Zuber-Buhler seems not to have kept good enough records or dated his paintings, so those are random. Done to Andre Segovia’s Bach – 3 Pieces from Violin Partita No-1, Bourree.

For IronJack. Mozart's Symphony 33 in A, KV319 - 3, Menuetto. John Elliot Gardner. Roughly chronological. Consider it a small bite of art history. A child prodigy, Millais was sent to art school at the age of 9 and entered Academic training at 11. At that young age, he was already winning awards for his figures and his composition. His portraiture includes a wide range of political, religious and noble figures. He was made a Baronet for his work.

Amherst Saxophone Quartet, Lukas Foss's Saxophone Quartet, Introduction and Canon. This will definitely NOT be for everyone. But if you enjoy modern art, it might be. And if the music doesn't work for you, try muting it and enjoying a 5 min Art History course in Early 20th Century Artists: Picasso, Goncharova, Braque, Metzinger, Gris, Malevich, Leger, Picabia, Boccioni, Gleizes, Kandinsky, Delaunay and Mondrian.

I love taking a story meant to have one meaning and giving it a completely different one. That's what Literary Song Videos are all about. And I love Kirk and Spock to country/western. This video got lost when I was previously uploading and I just stumbled across it.

Andre Segovia plays Bach's 3 Pieces from Violin Partita No 1. Hot off the video editor.

For nwrep, per request. Roughly chronological, for the art history enthusiasts among us. Note the brightening colors by the end of his body of work. Music is from the 4th movement of The New World Symphony by Dvorak. Smetana Von Karajan, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

It's 45K and an MP4 file. It downloads as a zip file which, in Firefox, I double-click to get the mp4 file that is then playable in VLC. Spread it or delete it. Sorry I can't make it streaming on my site. This is an experiment, so curious how it works out. Let me know what you can play it in, if you download.

For bagster, who was reminding me of Get Smart this morning.

Telemann's Concerto For Flute, Oboe and Viola in E major 2 Allegro, Christopher Hogwood. I'm saving the religious windows for the Christmas season.

A few weeks ago we asked our readers to vote for their least favorite songs from the 1990s, so it was the obvious next move to dial it back 10 years and see what you guys hated in the 1980s. The results are sure to infuriate a lot of people. For the record, I personally disagree with most of these selections. In fact, I love a lot of these songs... 10. Rick Astley - 'Never Gonna Give You Up'... 9. Taco - 'Puttin' On The Ritz'... 8. Toni Basil - 'Mickey'... 7. Bobby McFerrin - 'Don't Worry Be Happy'... 6....
