Radiohead - OK Computer
Enjoy this classic album I recently put together on seeqpod.
I couldn’t recommend this movie more. Especially if you love music, you need to see Once. Watch it. Then watch the “more girl more guy” special feature to find out how this movie came to be. And to whet your appetite, here is a seeqpod playlist of the musicians featured in the movie.
This article summarizes the most exciting game of the season very well.
Rediscovering this gem of musical masterpiece by Bach has lulled me out of my blog hibernation. The emotion expressed in this violin solo is timeless. The most emotive musical artists since Bach’s time may have achieved similar results, but no one has ever bested this pinnacle of achievement.
The Chaccone -
A good youtube of someone (probably famous) performing the Chaconne live.
The entire Partita No.2 in D minor for violin solo BWC 1004, 5 movements, the Chaccone is last -
I was reminded of this musician I rather enjoy. A track of his was in the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. The funny part is I incorrectly identified the song as being Van Morrison’s. Ray LaMontagne certainly exemplifies the classic folk sounds of Van Morrison. Enjoy the emphatic yet chill, as-a-matter-of-fact sound of Ray, “Hold You In My Arms”….
Twitter is the next evolution of internet enabled communication. Technically it’s a bridge between the SMS network (cell phone text messages), any major instant messenger network, and a web portal. Practically it becomes a form of group communication similar to blogs or myspace messages. It’s also been referred to as a really fancy status message system.
Since it’s intended to work with text messages from cell phones, the maximum length of each message is 140 characters. You can’t do much more with 140 characters than just say what’s going on. So it’s more like mini-blogging. It’s also very handy to communicate with people that don’t have free text messaging but are at the computer on instant messenger a lot. You can send each other twitters
I’ve set up a feed of my friends’ and my latest twitters here. Or visit my twitter page. Join in, it’s fun!
It’s been a while. I just wanted to say I’m still here. Yes, this post is kinda pointless. But wait. I do have a few things to announce.
Stay tuned. More seeqpod playlists to come soon.
Seeqpod is simply amazing. It will blow your mind. Here is just a sample of what you can do. I’ve compiled a few tracks of my new favorite album, the self titled Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. They aren’t anything new to bleeding edge music aficionados. And I’ve known about them for a while. But this time the album really stuck. It’s a fun, happy, poppy indie sound. Yummy! CYHSY is also famous for having made it big by generating buzz in the blogoshpere rather than signing with a record label. Read about it here. Very cool.
