Unpopular Xmas music opinion:
“O Holy Night” is portentous trash by a mid opera composer desperate for legacy.

Happy #CDFriday

Those Talking Heads CD/Blu-ray books are beasts. Shockingly large and heavy.

New book at my library, @mspal-umd.bsky.social. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is a mid-1900s folk song made popular by singer-songwriter John Denver. It was written by Denver together with Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert. Danoff is best known for writing the 1976 sex anthem "Afternoon Delight".

Gonna get one of those “Ring for great service” bells for my library. I’m sure everyone will appreciate it!

It’s #CDFriday! It’s #CDMadness!

Just a ridiculous haul the past few weeks. Couldn’t scratch that itch hard enough. Didn’t mean to buy mostly Cherry Red stuff but they’re doing what Rhino used to do, only far better.

Fun cover for the latest Music Educators Journal, September 2025, but no credit is given and it doesn’t seem to apply to any of the content.

Hadn’t done a #CDFriday in forever. This is the past month’s or so quarry.

Age verification: Bought my first CD in a high-end stereo store (Audio Krafters in College Park, Maryland) when such stores were the only ones selling the format.
Age verification: I bought myself a pair of Doc Martens before most people knew who Nirvana were (at one of two stores in town that carried them)
Age verification: I was in high school the first time the internet screamed at me through the phone line.

There was a major protest in DC today against the Trump administration.

Where's @nbcwashington.com and @wtopnews.bsky.social ? These are two of the biggest local news outlets in DC and neither has any reportage about it at all.

Raised: Hammer mansion

Current: "The City"

First is kinda easy. The second is definitely more cryptic but the quotes give a clue.

Sam Phillips as Katya in "Die Hard With A Vengeance". She also did a cameo in Wim Wender's "The End of Violence" but I can't find any screenshots.

Lots of individuals get their cars vandalized every day. None of them ever get reported by a major local news outlet, unless you're a rich MF like this guy:

Magazines to check out if you’re into underground music and/or music technology.

Next Gramophone features Arvo Pärt.

This performance is fantastic. It’s clear that all of the musicians were exactly where they wanted to be. Pure joy.
