I've been loving this stuff

[realthog]

If you're not such a milquetoste as to be frightened by the prospect of a cross between Bach and Afro-Cuban jazz, here's something you might want to listen to: me, I've been listening to the three tracks on offer all day long, and am planning to buy the CD next time I'm near a record store.

::Wants that::

All Things Considered also introduced me to Punch Brothers. Good stuff, that NPR.

"Wants that"

Me too!

I discovered a week or two ago that NPR will send you a daily e-mail about their music programs. Before that I'd obviously been checking their site from time to time, having discovered a few years ago it was True Fab, but far too often forgetting. Now . . . wahey!

I wish, though, they'd post some of their classical concerts in full. Most often they put online just the third movement of a symphony, or whatever. *sigh* Still, can't be long now before the Beeb's posting all of its Prom Concerts for 2009.

Yes. Except when it's the best of the movements, as in the case of the Punch Brothers CD. :)

I am already enslaved by my inbox, so I'm going to pretend you didn't tell me about the daily music emails!

I remember when they posted the Punch Bros thing. Am I right in remembering that someone else had it up as a full stream?

Might be remembering my post about it, complete with Youtube clip.

"Might be remembering my post about it"


I do recall that, but it wasn't what I was thinking of. Oh, well . . .

I sent the URL for the Tiempo Libre stuff off to The Spammers (e-mail chat group) last night, and also the one you gave me for Punch. One of the bunch e-mailed late last night to say he'd loved Tiempo Libre so much he'd promptly bought the CD online, then loved Punch Bros so much he'd bought it, too, online. He was asking me, for the sake of his bank balance, to stop sending musical recommendations . . .

It shows the value of streaming stuff online, doesn't it?

Without a doubt.
