| What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two). |

| The World of Sousa Marches | |
| As we head into 4th of July weekend, don't even the most hard-bitten of us get just a twinge of good old fashioned "my country right or wrong" patriotism? And who better to fill us Murrkins with a sense of pride than John Philip Sousa, the most stirring and most unapologetically boosterish of composers. Why, we'd have to be six months dead not to have our pulses quicken when the Washington Post March plays. (The paper may be a shadow of its former glory, but the march still works.) Granted, it's hard to take the Liberty Bell March seriously. But that's the fault of some British guys. And isn't the 4th all about ragging on the Brits? |
