Listening to
Music
- Folk Forward on SomaFM: "Contemporary indie folk music. Sometimes softer, sometimes a little harder, but always authentic. A modern take on classic folk music, with occasional appearances by the classic masters."
- Groove Salad on SomaFM: "Downtempo and chillout electronica featuring artists such as Kruder & Dorfmeister, Fila Brazillia, dZihan and Kamien, Afterlife, Zero Seven, Nightmares On Wax, Shantel, Groove Armada and artists on Pork Recordings, Waveform Records and Cafe del Mar recordings.
- Diving thru local files lately. Old soundtracks, old Morcheeba, and fell in love with an entire album from almost twenty years ago: Afterlife Speck of Gold*.
- Got fed a list of music to check out from ChatGPT, what I would instinctivly have called "Classical Music" but I've come to find out that is entirely wrong to use that terminology. Classical is a reference to a time-period, not a genre of music. Baroque, Romantic. These are terms defining genres of music. As a result of these avenues, I fell in love with this. Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto no.2 op.18 * Anna Fedorova. Watching her go from that public smile to "in the zone" in the opening moments of video is really something else!

Finally, an "Always" list, which are things I will always be working on. Things that will never be complete.
