This was well past the D’s expiration date, but why not? It’s Friday.

Benjamin Zander: The transformative power of classical music.
We’re talking about presentations in lab group next week, so I’ve been watching a bunch of them. I get the anti-TED backlash, but this is great.

Jake Shimabukuro - “Bohemian Rhapsody”. Stunning musicianship* and non-gimmicky. Nice.
*On par with something you’d hear from an accomplished fingerstyle guitarist which, given the uke, is impressive.

Living Place Update
I’m pleased to say that I’ve accepted a postdoctoral research associate position with the Natural Resources Social Science Lab in the Department of Forestry & Natural Resources at Purdue University. I’ll be working on climate change issues under the mentorship of Dr. Linda Prokopy. If you’d like more info on that, get in touch.
Don’t worry: my new job will not affect the regularity with which I post here or elsewhere.

The Fab Four (a Beatles tribute band, not, you know, the Beatles) - “Jingle Bells”. This is literally the worst thing I’ve ever heard ever. Yikes.

Tuning '77
Then there’s this:
“Tuning ‘77” - a seamless audio supercut of an entire year of the Grateful Dead tuning their instruments, live on stage. Chronologically sequenced, this remix incorporates every publicly available recording from 1977, examining the divide between audience expectation and performance anxiety.
FLAC version available for optimal audio fidelity.
