Anybody have an opinion on which performances of Bach's Toccata & Fugue in D Minor are?
Are what?
Sorry. I can ask FAQWife when I get back home Monday afternoon.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

We, surprisingly, had a decent draw tonight, despite the UT-OSU game and no real headliner to speak of. One of our better shows, and I taped half of it on iMovie. I'll put it on the interweb when I figure out how to brighten the screen all the way through the movie.

I've been buying a few songs off of iTunes lately, and one of my most recent purchases -- Dave Brubeck's Take Five -- I have listened to about ten times in the last 24 hours. It (like many pieces I've purchased recently) is very soothing.

Quintesential West Coast jazz. Not a lot of other Brubeck stuff sounds quite like it (in part because "Take Five" was written by his sax player, Paul Desmond), but "Mr. Broadway" is pretty good in that moody vein. I'm also a big fan of "Unsquare Dance" though that's a very different vibe. (Upbeat and cool.)
But that kind of jazz-y mood is one reason why I own so much Crime Jazz, Sean. I could send you some. It's basically jazz written for movies and TV detective shows so it's much more about the mood than the spontaneous bebop riffage. Why don't I shoot a couple tunes to you via email and you can let me know if you'd like a whole mix. I owe Frankenbuddha and Theo crime jazz mixes anyway so it'd prompt me to finish those up.

That would really make my day, David. Thanks.

Three super cool songs on their way to you, Sean.
Seriously, we're talking about a genre that has song titles like "Blues for a Dead Chick" and "Toss Me A Scalpel."
Here's my Spy Jazz article. My first piece for Scram many years ago.

Just my kind of thing, man.
Yeah, Take Five definitely has that noir-ish crime soundtrack feel to it. I just played it for S, who cried a little because she thought it was so pretty.
