Chapter 4: Week II

Hey folks, welcome back to the blog. I am striving to bring you a new entry each week this Winter and so far I've been keeping at it, despite this one being one day later than last week's. If this trend continues, by Sunday of week ten the 9th blog post will be published and the final one will happen two Mondays later.

But, eschewing the frivolity of speculation, let's get to the more important matters at hand-----------
                                                                                                                                           |
                                                                                                                                           |

The playlist for last Monday's show can be found here.

Standout tracks include John Cage's Third Construction, performed by the Continuum Percussion Quartet, and part 2 of 4 of Bolero! conducted by Andre Kostelanetz and performed by the Robin Hood Dell Orchestra of Philadelphia. On the latter piece you may have recognized some parts of the composition, which could be explained by their appearance in certain Bugs Bunny cartoons (If you know which ones, don't hesitate to tell me. I would love to know!)

On a different note, I want to let you all know of a Philly band called Ghost Light. The band recently performed live at WKDU and features some great emotional songwriting and instrumentation that will surely resonate within the caverns of your skull for days if not weeks. Listen below and if you like it vote for them for Deli Magazine's year end poll for emerging artists: http://philadelphia.thedelimagazine.com/snacks.
