A Very Buckethead Christmas

I leave you with this. Yes, this.

The Genius of Richter

Sviatoslav Teofilovich Richter was a Soviet pianist well known for the depth of his interpretations, virtuoso technique, and vast repertoire. He is widely considered one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century.

On listening to Bach: "It does no harm to listen to Bach from time to time, even if only from a hygienic standpoint."
He was awarded the Doctor of Music, honoris causa Oxford University. I do not know much about this genius but I intend to find out as much as I can. More on him soon.

Today

"Today" is a song by American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, written by lead vocalist and guitarist Billy Corgan. The song, though seemingly upbeat, contains dark lyrics. Corgan wrote the song about a day in which he was having suicidal thoughts, exemplified by the reference to self-mutilation in the chorus. However, the contrast between the grim subject matter of the song and the soft instrumental part during the verses, coupled with use of irony in the lyrics, left many listeners unaware of the song's tale of depression and desperation. The song alternates between quiet verses and loud choruses with layered, distorted guitar. 

I sure miss the 90s. They just don't write music like this anymore.

NP Completely Awesome

1 to change the lightbulb and 99 to say Neil Peart could do it way better.

Prodigious

When I was 11, I was learning to ride a bicycle. She is unbelievably awesome. The video might be an affront to most real musicians because the talent in this girl could really blow away some of our musical pundits.

This makes my life look silly.
