Today tune of the day is Sexx Laws by Beck
This video is weird. I remember when Midnight Vultures came out and I had no idea who Jack Black was.

Song of the Day - Enola Gay
... By Orchestral Manouevres In The Dark. Symphony must still be on my mind. ;)
The Symphony was... wow.
I have never seen the Toronto Symphony Orchestra before, so when a gal pal of mine asked if I wanted to come with, I jumped at the opportunity.
We had front row seats, smack dab in the centre. It was neat to be so close to the strings, to watch the expressions on the faces of the cellists and violinists as they swayed to the music. To listen to them expell air or suck in a breath before a solo. The funny thing about the whole ordeal? People actually say Bravi, Brava or Bravo!
It took 2 hours to listen to 5 concertos: (Is concertos the right word?)
Rachmaninoff: The Isle of the Dead
Debussy: Première rhapsodie for Clarinet and Orchestra
Dukas: The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Intermission
Messiaen: Les offrandes oubliées
Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43
My absolute favourite was The Isle of the Dead. You can listen to Part 1 here:
The best piece had to be the Sorcerer's Apprentice. It's the music of Fantasia!! I couldn't help but giggle through the whole thing. It was so fun. I can't wait to go back!

First of three G20 summit meetings on the first night of a Stanley Cup Game
Makes sense.

How did Robert Plant let this happen?
Song of the Day. Reznor and Atticus are at it again with the score for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake. This tune is a Zeppelin cover with Karen O.... what do you think?
I had to listen to this quite a few times to get past the unsettling feeling that came with the wailing that is Karen O. It sounds too much like something Marilyn Manson would create. I love Reznor and was a huge supporter of the score for The Social Network. But I guess this proves I'm not a fan of everything the man touches.

ALMOST DONE!
May 29th song of the day - Katy Perry's ET feat. Kanye West
My brother got me hooked on this tune. Plus, I dig the albino's butt at the end of the vid.
May 30 - Queensryche's I Don't Believe in Love
I used to be a bit of a metal head... And was in a mood on Monday. I used to read all the old school metal mags, the good ones - when they used to publish them. They were published on paper with ink that would come off on your fingers. I remember countless Dimebag pull-out posters. How crazy was it for a metal mag to have pull-out posters?
