Inaugural music January 22, 2009
Posted by Jason in Music.add a comment
Besides the obvious, another thing that I liked about the Inauguration was the musical selection. After some searching I was able to find the list of music played by the United States Marine Corps Band here. I especially liked Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Seventeen Come Sunday” which I actually played in college. I’ve embedded a recording from YouTube of this song below. I miss being in a band.

Interesting combinations result when you have two people with very different tastes in music using the same computer.

A Christmas music experiment December 8, 2006
Posted by Jason in Music.1 comment so far
Chad Orzel is trying to find Christmas music that is actually good. He has a long list of songs he’s going to listen to, most of which I’ve never heard of before. I have heard some of the artists in the list before though such as the Squirrel Nut Zippers and Barenaked Ladies.
Looking through my music collection, I don’t think I have any Christmas music at all. I don’t care for the songs with religious themes although I still enjoy the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I still laugh when I hear “Grandma got Run Over by a Reindeer” too. The music they play in grocery stores is the worst. And anything sung by a group of kids, unless they’re extremely talented, just grates on my ears. Let’s not leave out TV commercials either, as they have some of the cheesiest music out there.
Any Christmas music that you like and would recommend?
