This Week's Top Music Listening Objects
Number One, with 21 listens - Grand Ol Opry. From a couple of recordings downloaded from the Dime. Transcriptions originally made for Armed Forces radio, likely in the late sixties/early seventies. Oddly, though, it was ID3 tagged with Grand Ol Opry as the artist, and the artist and song name in the artist tag. So go figure. Soon, taxonomy will be taught in the elementary schools in a way that most pleases me!
#2 - The first of two entries composed of non-latin characters/symbol/ideograms. Дмитрий Дмитриевич Шостакович, or Dmitri Shostakovich from the CD New Babylon Film Music & Song Cycle from Jewish Poetry. The song cycle is top notch, with "The thoughtful mother and child." I recall hearing this in a recital several years ago at The Off Center.
#3 Paul Bowles - Virgil Thompson once wrote that Mr. Bowles slept through harmony class.
#4 坂本龍一 (or Ryuichi Sakamoto) Mostly from BTTB, because this was a difficult week at work. (tied with Mekons)
#5 Delta 5 - Why? MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! And who makes homebrew with lots of sediment? YOU YOU YOU YOU.
