Music podcasts

Well, true to the original name of this site, I'm finally putting out a couple of audio podcasts.

You can find them on iTunes.

I've got two on there now - a Progressive House mix & a Gospel House mix.  A Deep House mix is next on my list.

Enjoy.

Great orchestras are amazing

Last night, I went to a concert by the New England Conservatory of Music's Philharmonia. This is an orchestra made up of undergrad students at NEC. The pieces on the bill were Petrouchka by Stravinsky and the New World Symphony by Dvorak. (Sorry, these names should have diacriticals; I'm not going to bother just now...)

At the end, I tweeted "Just finished hearing Stravinsky & Dvorak at New England Conservatory. An orchestra is a violent, living, joyous thing to experience. #love".

It was amazing to hear these kids.
