RIP Walter Becker
Crazy too, I legit just saw Donald F.a.g.en in Austin last night. He was playing with some younger musicians, and they did an amazing job recreating the old Steely Dan sound. The lead guitarist killed it especially.

From John Adams' Doctor Atomic: a setting of John Donne's "Batter My Heart," as an illustration of J. Robert Oppenheimer's realization of what had been created by the Manhattan Project.

No problem. I'm not a huge opera fan in general, more or less contemporary works, but John Adams writes some really solid stuff. If you guys ever want a suggestion for examples of specific genera, or style, or form, or whatever, of "classical" music, just let me know.
Here's one that really gets my rocks off:

Recordings never do organ music justice. There's nothing like sitting down at a 4 million dollar instrument and feeling the music rumble your nuts. I wish I'd gotten to play the old Atlantic City Boardwalk organ prior to it being disassembled. The lowest note on that thing was CCCC.

Arvo Part? This is his Te Deum.
[video=youtube;CPd3e5woOyc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPd3e5woOyc[/video]
One of his musical devices has been described (I don't recall if he named it as such, or someone else did) as "tintinambulation;" named after the tolling of bells. His harmonic pallet mimics traditional cathedral bell tunings and pairings: the reason bells sound so clearly is that the 2nd partial (the 5th) sounds considerably stronger than even the fundamental pitch or the 1st partial (the octave). So, in mimicking the sounds of bells, composers will double the 5th of a chord and often omit the 3rd. This is compounded when stacking "open 5ths." So, whenever you hear an ambiguous "hollow" sounding group of notes, that simultaneously is very strong, that is probably what is going on. Edit for guitarists: this is what's going on with "power chords;" you're playing the root, 5th, and octave, while omiting the 3rd (which is what gives chords the minor/major designation)...which is why you can just strum whatever power chord you want, wherever you want, and it will sound just fine (because it's ill-defined as a structural entity [Allen Forte would identify those as 07...a rant for another time]).
These notes on music theory, composition, and acoustics brought to you by Tito's Vodka.

The Webb sisters?

This has become my new criteria for dating: can you sing? What's your range? And you know if they pay the harp that they have slender, and deft, fingers...
