I wonder what my classical-music-loving friends think of this.

Weekend Music This one is a bit different from the other husband-and-wife bands I've been posting. You might want to make sure your audio is at a low-to-moderate volume before you click on it; you can always turn it up if you need to. If you watch the video and follow the story that goes…

Weekend Music Another band centered around a married couple, and another band of whom I've heard great things, but haven't heard all that much: a friend made me a copy of The Trumpet Child, and I liked the musicianship but wasn't carried away by the material. This song just happened to be one of the…

I've been meaning to comment on this CNN story about the continued surprising life of the vinyl LP, though I'm not sure many people who read this blog are interested. It is an interesting phenomenon. I still have hundreds of LPs and still listen to them, though not that often, and currently not at all: my turntable…

Weekend Music Low is a band I’ve heard many good things about and have been meaning to investigate. It’s centered on the husband-wife team of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker. This is a lovely song, though beyond impressions I’m not sure what it’s about. Sparhawk and Parker are reportedly practicing Mormons. Much more info here.

Weekend Music Another husband and wife team. Karen Peris is as much poet as musician: lyrics here. Much more music, poetry, and information at their web site. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know what I think of them; if not, this review will give you an idea.

Weekend Music Let’s see how long I can keep this string of husband-wife collaborations going. Thanks to Rob G for the link. This song is from an album released in 1997, and apparently The Sundays haven’t released anything since. According to their AMG bio, they decided to withdraw from the music biz to focus on…

It was also in Mooresville that I first encountered my other great love: music. It may even be a greater love; if I’d been born with more musical ability and weren’t so lazy, I might have made myself a competent performer. There is an interview with Walker Percy in which he is asked what he…

Weekend Music Another sweet catchy love song. I guess I'm ruining my reputation with stuff like this; the title of this one is especially against my usual grain, as I know I've mentioned how much I like rain. But it's not ironic. This song was given away on either eMusic or Amazon a few weeks…
