A skim back through my recent entries reveals that I apparently didn't mention my birthday plans... to go and see Riverdance (!!).
Granted, my birthday was yesterday (I know some of you posted well-wishes, I just haven't gone through my f-list since Sunday), but I took today off to go to the afternoon matinee presentation of Riverdance in ChicagoI ( Read more... ) -
a brief musical post
In the last two weeks or so, I heard a new song by Maroon 5 on the radio for the first time. It's catchy, the lyrics are decent, I have no objection to it, except... all I could think of was this video:
Pachelbel strikes again, LOL.

a few more Endgame-related things
I was completely remiss in not mentioning at all the GLORIOUS soundtrack for this movie in my previous post. It's up on Spotify, if that's your thing, and also on YouTube. Alan Silvestri did the score (he also did the first Avengers movie and Infinity War) and he did a lovely job of restating and reinterpreting themes from various previous movies ( Read more... ) -

My new boss continues to prove her awesomeness--she got brownies and flowers for my birthday, had all of the staff (students and non-students alike) sign a card for me, and she bought me a college sweatshirt I' ( Read more... )(Untitled)
So I've been continuing my habit of posting and then falling off the face of the earth. :-p
The "informal audition" for that orchestra didn't go as well as I'd hoped... the music I had was "too easy" so I was allowed to participate in that evening's rehearsal and then work on the music for the next concert during the next week, with a 're- ( Read more... )eeee and ack!! all at the same time

So, I found the new Sherlock Holmes movie soundtrack onlineI'm listening to it for the third time in a row. I may be smitten, just a bit. Don't get me wrong, Hans Zimmer is no Howard Shore, but it's obvious from the music that this movie is much darker than the first (woo!), and there are some tracks that really tickle me. #10, for instance, is ( Read more... )
