And here, at last, is Z (just under the wire.) Zbigniew Preisner – Van Den Budenmayer – Concerto In E Minor (SBI 152) Version 1798 (from the soundtrack of La Double Vie de Veronique.) Simply put, this piece is glorious.

Happy New Year/Hogmanay all!

Almost done! Here’s my choice for Y – Weird Al Yankovic – White and Nerdy. The vid is the first take of the White and Nerdy music video. I couldn’t resist.

Dance Donny Dance!

High School flashback alert! (Well, for when I was in High School anyway.) My choice for X: XTC – King For a Day.

So…question: What would you choose for X? (Where the band needs to start with X.)

Well, here’s my choice for W: White Stripes – Seven Nation Army. What can I say? I just like the song.

Okay, with two weeks to go in the year, here is my choice for the letter V. Vienna Teng’s Blue Caravan is a melancholy exploration of a self-created reality. It’s also beautiful. Give it a listen and see what you think.

Remember how I said I wanted to finish this music thing by the end of the year? Well, here is my Letter U. Urbanized feat. Silvano – Helpless (from the film Jeffrey) was nigh impossible to find the correct version of. Everyone seems to think various remixes are the correct version. Sorry, none of those remixes do it for me. The version I want is the one from my Jeffrey soundtrack. Here it is. If you liked the film Jeffrey, you might enjoy the slideshow on the video. Otherwise, just enjoy the music.

I promised myself that I’d finish the alphabet in music before the end of the year, so here, at last it “T.” Yes. I know. I’m totally cheating by counting the “T” in “The.”

I don’t care. This is my new music obsession (as of today) and this way I get to share it with you. Win-win, yes?

This is Water to Wine by The Rope, a recent band with a sound that harkens back to when I was in High School. I love it.

I know, I know. It’s been forever since I started this. …But I got stuck on “S’” and only now have I figured out that my beloved “Symphony of Science” totally starts with S. Now, a word of caution for this video. I know that many people have an issue with the use of Autotune (and in general I agree) and this video uses same. So, if you are one of those you may wish to skip this one. If not, I hope that you enjoy Symphony of Science – A Glorious Dawn:

…And we’re back, with The Republic Tigers singing Buildings and Mountains. You can blame my sister for introducing me to this one.

So, I may have mentioned that my cousin’s band got signed, yeah? They’ve released a free song from the upcoming album for everyone to listen to…and I LOVED it.
Obviously, this means that I must point the way for you all to hear it as well.

(Pssst! Go here)
