Music Musings

OK, so I have realized a couple of things these last few weeks.

1) Radiohead is possibly the greatest band of my generation.

2) There is still good music being made, and still boundaries being pushed. I found out that I really like *some* of the music coming out of Iceland these days. I thoroughly enjoyed that track by mum a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to try to get some more of that. Just don't try to shove any Bjork down my throat.

3) I forgot how cool Pandora is. They have become a bit more commercialized since last I was there. But, hey, everyone's gotta eat. Can't begrudge them some revenue.

Speaking of Bjork - I am enthralled by the reactable. I want to build one. Anyone else interested? I figure I can get some undergrad research money to do it if I can get some music or computer science people involved.

Degrees

I'm trying a new format this week, I think it'll be fun. Every song will be linked in some way to the song before and after. This is sort of how I organize my club DJ sets - one song reminds me of something in another. Though, for the radio show I'll have more than just musical style to connect the playlist. Tune in to see what Massive Attack and U2 have in common!
