Turning it down a bit for Father's Day. Lovely song. These guys were very cool to see last week as part of NorthernSpark.

Sure, there's the f word off mic, but other than that this performance is incender... incendiary (Spooky get's the reference). They should put this video in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. (sorry may have to watch an ad, this can't be found on youtube).

I've been interested in the choreography of Justin Peck since seeing Ballet 422 earlier this year. While looking up more about his other ballets, I came across this bit from Everywhere We Go, a collaboration with Sufjan Stevens.
I love that it's shot in a studio since this is where dancers spend most of their time--not onstage. I take a class with live piano accompaniment, and some of the best moments are when it's all working and I almost feel as if I'm inside the music.
For more about the musical side of the collaboration, check out this article.
Thanks for having me as guest dj, and I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day weekend!

Another musical influence is all the years I spent playing the flute. Along with dance classes, playing flute taught me a ton about rhythm, phrasing, and counting.
Bloch's "Suite Modale" was a favorite piece of mine. It seems there are a lot of videos of students performing it, but this was the only live professional performance I turned up. It's Felicia van den End on flute and the Magogo chamber orchestra conducted by Micha Hamel. It's probably not my favorite performance I've ever heard of this piece, but I do like it.
