11 Electric Bird

What was the last song you added to your MP3 player? (Bonus points, as always, if you share it with us!) Submitted by Julie. Most of Sia's music, from what I can gather, is kind of in the Dido/Sarah McLachlan vein - which is fine if that's what ...

I have to work harder to get into the loop. I tend to miss out on some great music because I don't leave myself enough time to scour the net for interesting music. I'm certainly not finding it on the radio! Take these guys for instance - Bitter:S...

Chicago - Hard Habit To Break

Who was your favorite band when you were in 8th grade? Ugh. Unfortunately it was Chicago. Damn - that's not fair, actually. Chicago has put out some really interesting and progressive music in their day. It's just that, when I was listening to ...

Adagio Un Poco Mosso

For years, I have been one who reveled in the outer movements of big romantic pieces - The dramatic, kinetic energy of big orchestras playing quickly.I think it has to do with the fact that I'm generally better able to grasp the structure of the f...

Organ Donor Dewey Decimal

Sometimes sounding like it's played on a cheap casio keyboard circa 1983, I've been nonetheless impressed lately with the music of HP Mendoza. I found Mendoza completely by accident when I came across a film called "Colma: the Musical" - a film a...

Justice - D.A.N.C.E (Version Finale)

Wow, what a great song! Okay, I haven't been very good at keeping up this blog, but I was so blown away by this catchy little number that I just had to share, in case you haven't heard it. The group, Justice, reminds me a bit of Daft Punk, but ...

Fauré - Pie Jesu

My friend recently picked up a book of Gabriel Fauré's music scored for piano. I borrowed it to see if any of it was playable with my limited skills, and it turns out I could conceivably play several movements from Fauré's Requiem -- among other p...

Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# min Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# min.

One of the most famous piano solo pieces is almost always played wrong, in my opinion. Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# min, no matter how well it starts, always loses it once the main theme returns to close the piece out. In almost every recording I...

Glass - Violin Concerto - 3rd Mvmt

Philip Glass seems to have become the composer of film music - often stealing from his own earlier works to complete a film score. Not that there's anything wrong with that - he's written some wonderful music, and why not set it out for a wider au...
