What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two). | ||||||

Have some music to recommend? I can always use a few pointers. Use the comments link at the bottom of the page. | ||||||

Operazone: The Redesign / Bill Laswell, Karl Berger & The Material Strings | |
Operazone is opera for people like me. People who have no
interest in opera. At least not opera the way it's supposed to be
performed.
Not that I know much about opera, beyond the fact that I don't like it. I did once make it through an entire act of The Flying Dutchman, which I think demonstrates the proper level of intestinal fortitude. (There were two more acts to go, which was more than my date and I could bear.) And I like opera when it doesn't sound like opera. Like OperaBabes, with their soaring voices and inventive arrangements. Or anything involving Bugs Bunny. Or these guys, who take operatic themes and jazz them up. Heck, if you don't tell me they're opera, how am I supposed to know to hate it? |
