• Randomguru’s Current Music Favorites

  
  — Authority:
  Favorite music . That can be a tough one, no? Especially when it comes to pop music, I am (many times) clueless, I confess. I’ve mentioned this time and time again, that my listening tastes keep going backwards in time, not that I’m some sort of Classical Music elitist or Jazz Buff… I truly like all music, but ...

• Monday Music: "The Sweetest Punch"

  
  Outside the Camp: reflections of a renegade Christian — Authority: 132
  Heres a song with uncommonly clever lyrics, again from the classic collaborative album Painted from Memory by Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello.  What could have been nothing more than another "breakup" song is here transformed into a single extended metaphor: that of a prizefight, of all things. But what jilted ...

  This post is part of a series. Since the posts build upon one another successively, I suggest you start with the first post in the series.

  This post is part of a series. Since the posts build upon one another successively, I suggest you start with the first post in the series. Last time, in Part 2 of this series, I talked about “ear training” and the skills that are required by certain kinds of music if one is to listen [...]

• ReCovered: "Mattinata"

  
  Outside the Camp: reflections of a renegade Christian — Authority: 132
  This song, the melody of which has become part of our cultural memory in the West, was one of the very first ever to be written for the purpose of being recorded.  Although music had been captured on various primitive devices for decades, the invention of Thomas Edisons phonograph in 1877 changed everything.  By ...

• What We Talk About When We Talk About Music: Part 2 — Ear Training

  
  — Authority:
  Right, so last time, I drew a parallel between my view of music in the modern industrialized world, and the way “foodies” think of food in that same setting: namely, as something that has been essentially debased for expediency of production by large corporations, in the name of profit. But I’m sure those who ...

  I’ve been working for about a week now to put together a blog post that simply isn’t working. Like a story built to fail, the damned thing just is not cohering, no matter what i do: it veers off the road, it catches on fire, and when I put out the fire, the engine won’t [...]

  — Authority:
  My mother, with a smile, often mentioned Harold Lloyd , one of the biggest comedy stars in the era of silent movies. But I dont think she knew that her elder son came into the world the day that Harold Lloyd turned 50, 20 April 1943. Above is an extract from what is perhaps his most famous scene where, in a ...
