I've changed the name of this section from "Music Listening," as it seems that I'm getting a lot of hits from people looking for .mp3s. Sorry, folks, but you're not going to find 'em here. If you're looking for reviews, opinions, and general musings, however, you've come to the right place.

This is a perfect morning for Rhys Chatham's A Crimson Grail.

I'm listening to Stockhausen's Mikrophonie. It's like being in a concert hall with six judgemental ducks.

All this time, we were standing at the finish line.

Come - Finish Line

Bert Jansch: transcendent. Pegi Young Band: very good. A great show in a great room.

No Neil; I have heard that he objected to a certain audience member's derogatory use of Lanois's phrase "I got in there with my sonics." still, a fine evening.

RIP, Captain Beefheart, difficult, cantankerous, impossible-to-work-for, sublime weirdo bluesman.
