Listening to the terrific concert Dudamel presented which led to his appointment as the next director of the LA Phil. Using the Classical Webcast to listen to KDFC which has it on now. Take a listen, especially to the excellent Rachmaninoff 3rd Piano Concerto.

Maia Hirasawa - Though, I'm Just Me

My sister sent me links to a couple of her music videos quite a while ago, and I liked the songs all right, but for some reason her face got under my skin. The album seems to be import only, unfortunately, but then I had to order a Cerys Matthews CD from amazon.co.uk, anyway, so I added her album to my order. I'm glad I did! I really like it, and the music is better when I can't see her. Check her out.

It's fun to crank the volume with Feist on SNL tonight.

I fell asleep before Feist's second song. Grrr. I'm older than wrinkled dirt.

Interesting tidbit, I just found out yesterday that she is from Calgary.

Have you run into her yet?

Seriously, though, guys, Maia Hirasawa. It's too bad her album doesn't have a North American release. It's really good!

The very best of Erich Kunzel and the Cincinatti Pops...cranked . I wish I had an A1400.

Just listened to my first SACD. What a treat this is!! Pink Floyd - DSOTM I gotta get me more of these.

Beware of SACDs... they are addictive! My mailman keeps bringing me more and more packages from Amazon!

You'll never guess who I'm listening to today.
