Ok today's blog is not about clay or beads or business stuff. I am stepping outside of my comfy zone a little to comment on the world around me, so come back tomorrow for my usual thoughts about the other stuff...I just saw this video yesterday (along with over 3 million people in the last week, apparently!), and I feel compelled to write a personal note to two famous and successful women in music:Dear Alanis Morissette,I love your music and words. Over the years I have really related to your stories of heartbreak, success, failure, self doubt, happiness, pain, and questioning. You are one of my favorite musical performers. And one thing that makes me love you more is this parody of "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas:I don't know how on earth you came up with[...]

by Rebecca Law The Furies describe themselves as “an itinerant band of Eurotrash ex-millionaire playboys fallen on hard times”. With individual musical influences as disparate as their wardrobes, they are a motley crew who boast a raw energy in their music, which is as indefinable as it is inimitable. The anarchic skill of the guitarist combined [...]

Via Neatorama, I just read a lengthy, erudite, fascinating piece about an experiment in art and fame: Three days before he appeared at the Metro station, Bell had filled the house at Boston’s stately Symphony Hall, where merely pretty good seats went for $100. Two weeks later, at the Music Center at Strathmore, in North Bethesda, [...]

I'm a sucker for anything 1940s-themed. Jesus, everyone looked good in the clothes they had then, and the music was all good. Plus, it's a fun song. A couple of years ago, I spent Thanksgiving at the house (a brownstone, bought insanely cheaply because it's more or less in Flatbush) of a friend from the dogpark. [...]

I must admit, when Daniel Ben-Horin asked me to be an advocate I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into. Having the chance to participate in this event, however, is pretty exciting. I've started with two projects: one that's using MySpace to connect non-profits and help them network and use MySpace successfully, and one that hopes to use Creative Commons licenses and an open market to change the way music, writing and art is distributed and valued. I've commented on each of the projects:read more

Now this is lovely. Here are the Monks and Choirs of Kiev Pechersk Lavra, with: …26 hymns from the ancient church, sung by the monks of the historic Kiev-Pechersk cave monastery. Included are rare sacred music pieces by both Rachmaninov and the Italian composer J.Sarti, who was so enraptured by Orthodox singing that he left Italy [...]
