Hiatus Redux

Hey guys,

So I got hit by the incredible schedule-devouring beast that is final exams, and I have neglected this little side-project like crazy. But I'll be back at it, exercising my criticism muscles just as soon as these things end (Thursday).

In the meantime check out this Mp3 blog, Good Vibrato. They specialize in classical music (including 20th century minimalism), electronic music (laptop pop, glitch, ambient, IDM), and any other type of instrumental music, including post-rock and folk. Each post consists of a painting accompanied by a link to a very-well accredited song (it is called the "occasional blog of the Wordless Music Series" although a few tracks do have some vocals). Since I don't listen to music with words while I'm studying, I've been enjoying it immensely recently.

I'd like to point out two posts I've particularly enjoyed:

Hans Appelqvist: “En Lektion I Ansvar”


Philip Glass: “Floe”

I should also recommend Hype Machine, to those not already relying on its awesomeness to browse music blogs. You can search for artists to stream songs from blog posts, and can make an account and keep a list of favorite blogs. The site includes a streaming player that is wonderful. Here's the site for Good Vibrato on Hype Machine.

Anyway, I return now to my studies, but I'll be back and up and running by the end of this week. See you soon.
