The Day the Music Died

For Don McLean , the music died on a cold February night in 1959 when Buddy Holly , Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper's tiny chartered plane did a nosedive into a frozen Iowa cornfield (see the story below). The music died for me much later -- though I no longer remember the exact year -- when my maternal grandmother (Floy Danforth Sparling) died of an aneurysm right before my eyes. When she took her...

Like the Stranger that You've Met

Is it a coincidence that there are eleven stars in Starry Night, by Van Gogh? Was he referencing the 11 stars of Joseph's dream? A teacher of mine once said that themes and meanings all come from the subconscious and can not and should not be consciously planned. Similarly, so much of what we say and do in life possesses and conveys unconsciously intended meanings. Our actions have subtexts, our body...

Success

The Christmas weekend was fun and despite it being a pseudo-festival, I still ate and drank plenty to keep up the pretence. For my Dad's 70th we (my brothers and I) bought him tickets to see Don McLean at the Royal Albert Hall next year. When I was very young, my Dad would play the album "American Pie" on rotation in the car, so it's ingrained in my brain. Pete and I will accompany my Mum...

Magnus Holmen - Burn CD Review

- Magnus Holmen’s album Burn is a mix between hard rock and folk. I enjoyed the fact that all of his music incorporates some form of acoustics. Magnus definitely knows the instrument well. There really isn’t much else needed. The music is soothing and not at all busy. It sounds to me like a collaboration between Bob Dylan and Staind; it is neither as punk as Staind nor as country blues...

The Mathematical Pi Song

Two weeks ago I wrote about The Story of Pi, a semi-educational retro video that visually explains Pi. One commenter (lynn) pointed out a song I hadn’t heard before, The Pi Song by Antoni Chan and Ken Ferrier. I present it below for your weekend edutainment. Set to the tune of the [...]

Harry Connick, Jr. – Your Songs

On Your Songs, Harry Connick, Jr. uses the Frank Sinatra swag to reinvigorate classic popular tunes like Billy Joel’s “Just the Way You Are,” Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love with You” and Don Mclean’s “And I Love You So.” The results are mixed. He gives the Beatle’s classic “And I Love Her” [...]

My top 10 pop guilty pleasures

I'm finally getting around to publishing this top 10 list, after talking about it for weeks if not months. Putting together this list made me realise how subjective the concept of a guilty pleasure is. You might think that Chic and Abba are guilty pleasures, but as far as I'm concerned, if it belongs on the dance floor, then I'm not going to feel so much as a pang of guilt any time soon. So here goes,...

Rock The Casbah

R.E.M., Pearl Jam, AC/DC, Britney Spears, Marilyn Manson, Metallica and Bruce Springsteen. How's that for an all-star lineup? If you were fortunate enough to be a detainee at the terror suspect camp at Guantanamo Bay, you would have been treated to a playlist by these artists. At all hours of the day and night. At excessive volume. A November 2008 report by the Senate Armed Services Committee makes...
