So one of my first posts here was about the future of music in Maine – I featured (however briefly) Dilly Dilly and Lady Lamb the Beekeeper. I’m here to report that both have done the absolutely most logical thing for the “future of music in Maine” to do – move. Specifically, I’d say [...] I want an iPhone 4. Barring that: I just walked out of Bull Moose Music on Middle Street after purchasing my second set of headphones obtained during the Cheap Headphones era. Before leaving, I had a brief discussion with two employees about what was playing over the speakers. One described it as “Tex-Mex psychedelic [...] This, I think, partially has to be a response to Mercygiver’s attempt to set this labor of love alight. Though I know that’s not his intent, the post does give me a reason to address why I do this, why I got involved in it.

Here’s a quick review of what I’ve been listening to this week, and what I think provides it all with some commonality: 04 Etudes pour Piano (Premier Livre) The repeated theme here is the atonal [...] My classical upbringing is fairly well documented on this site, but I was never a heavy opera listener. The same can’t be said of my mom and dad, primarily my dad, who to this day (far as I know) listens to opera on heavy rotation especially on Saturday afternoons. It was through my parents [...] I get a couple of big shows a year, pretty much, and that’s it.
