OK all, hopin' you had a Merry Christmas...

Upon arriving home this evening, the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie was on TV. I've always liked the music from the series and I wanted to do more research into who was responsible for it. Some of that research shot me on a tangent that just stoked the fire even more......

I never knew that DJ Tiesto had done a remix of one of the theme pieces from the Pirates movies. I am including this video right on the front page because I ADORE Tiesto's interpretation. Some people (ahem!) say there's no resemblance to the original. THEY ARE WRONG (particularly noticeable around 3:23 in the song). Seeing this live would approach causing a feeling of PURE JOY in my mind! The remix is on autoplay and the original (also very good) is embedded for comparison. As extra fodder for this post (and excellent dance music to boot), clicking the "read more" will allow you to listen (if you choose) to Tiesto's Adagio for Strings.......

And now I'll pimp myself a bit...
