I was never really that into the guitar.  I mean, I play chords, but I’m a pianist, a singer, not a guitar guy.  But I knew who Les Paul was early on.  Every kid did.  Somebody’s older brother, their cousin, their dad played in a garage band (or wished they did) and had a Les Paul.  In guitar lingo that’s the same as saying “Steinway.”  And that was just the start of what he did.  He made more than a guitar, he made a new instrument – and with that he made music.  The Les Paul – the solid electr

In William Gaddis ’s massive first novel, The Recognitions , Wyatt Gwyon forges paintings by master artists like Hieronymous Bosch , Hugo van der Goes , and Hans Memling . To be more accurate, Wyatt creates new paintings that perfectly replicate not just the style of the old masters, but also the spirit. After aging the pictures, he forges the artist’s signature, and at that point, the painting is no longer an original by Wyatt, but a “new” old original by a long-dead genius

I might as well offer my two cents on Terry Teachout’s recent editorial for the Wall Street Journal , “Can Jazz Be Saved?” , since so many others already have.  In it, Teachout beats the same funeral drum that countless other jazz pundits have for decades – namely that the already small audience for jazz is shrinking alarmingly fast.  He even offers as evidence some results from a recent survey by the National Endowment for the Arts. The survey results Teachout extracts present a gloomy pict

via Free Albums Galore by Marvin When it comes to odd music, I don’t shock easily but Diablo Swing Orchestra got even me off guard on its first listen. This Swedish ensemble has one of the freshest and most exciting sounds I’ve heard in a long time and they manage it through an insane combination of heavy metal, swing jazz, a traditional European music smorgabord, and a classical soprano voice that probably broke wine glasses in the studio.

Most of the parents who read this are going to hate me, but I like the Backyardigans.  It’s gentle, it’s creative, and it’s relevant to what toddlers and pre-schoolers need to absorb in a pop culture setting.  And the tunes are catchy  (OK, maybe too catchy).  But with my 6-year-old twins, all of the sudden the Backyardigans are no longer cool.  Now they think this is cool .  Now I’m not complaining about the techno-pop aspects of scoring anime (even if it is somewhat silly anime).  But Teen T
