Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Friday Musical Interlude – Prelude & Fugue No. 12 in F Minor BWV 881
One of my favourites from Book II. The Well-Tempered Clavier (German: Das Wohltemperierte Klavier),[2] BWV 846–893, is a collection of solo keyboard music composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. He first gave the title to a book of preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys, dated 1722, composed

LOL! I kill me! I guess that if there were even a smidgen – as in a Higgs boson-sized smidgen – of love for country music, I’d be upset about this… Wait! Let me check agin…. hmmm…. nope. Still nothing… (7) Trashy, Ottawa, Ontario

I go with more Metric tonight. For the first song here, Artificial Nocturne, in particular, although you can take your pick! Have a great night!

The nickname, which was never used by the composer himself but was introduced only early in the 19th century, originates from a story about how Scarlatti came up with the strikingly unusual motif on which the fugue is built. Legend has it that Scarlatti had a pet cat called

It’s been a year of marriage, and I don’t want the honeymoon to end. == It’s that time of year when the weather gets hot, and the blogging gets slow. Where is everyone? Where’ve I gone? I hope someone is looking after the ‘shop.

Medals for everyone! It’s good that she’s so proud of her public service that brought her the public recognition, as to be so shy as to decline to speak about it all. Neither Byrne nor the Conservative party media office responded to requests for comment. It is unclear what Byrne

Do you know what I love about Stephen Harper? He wants [wanted?] Canadians to hold politicians accountable. Let’s get right on that please, and stand up for Canada. “Bullying” and “frequent sexual harassment” created “toxic” work environment under Brazeau: court documents allege aptn.ca/pages/news/201…— Emilie Novaczek (@envczk) June 27, 2012 Brazeau

Originally posted on Back of the Book – Imagine buying a house, and being locked out of the basement. That’s what digital locks do too. If you’ve been following Canadian politics, particularly the new Copyright Act (Canada’s DMCA) Bill C-11, you’ve heard of “digital locks”. A digital lock, or Digital

“It is music’s capacity to take over your mind and invade your inner experience that makes it so terrifying as a potential weapon.“ – Thomas Keenan, the director of the Human Right’s Project at Bard College Hey, surprise we’re not the good guys. Ever. This is all from Al-Jazeera

… was pretty good considering his age and his rigourous tour schedule! His voice, while still unmistakably “Lightfoot”, has gone a little gratey on the high notes and the power just isn’t there anymore. But still, a good show… Edmund Fitzgerald was as haunting as ever. Oh, one last thing…

Missed out on posting music on Friday, so this is to make up for that oversight. Plus it was a good day so I just feel like posting some music. Additionally, I think Big City Lib was dissing electronic music and its resurgence a bit, so this is for him
