	Jul 14	Audrey Easley Audrey Easley is the flautist for the Polyphonic Spree, which is a musical group. She had a great energy. She has a PERFECT CRUSH NAME, as in back in 7th grade I was so in love with Audrey Easley, and your friend says, Audrey Easley? Did you make that up? And you say, no, we were in band together, and your friend says, oh, God, you were in band? and you have to defend concert band and explain how Mr. Carl helped you a whole lot when your Dad kind of vanished and Audrey Easley was the one girl who was always really nice to everyone and she could totally tell you had a crush on her but she never did anything mean even though you were so broke that you had to wear your Dad's old clothes, and 15 years later you wish you could find her and thank her for just being a decent human being back then. Of course, Audrey Easley is from Texas, and I'm from Pennsylvania, so this is just tomfoolery, and I don't know a thing about Audrey Easley except that her name sort of sounds like the sort of name that someone would have if they were nice, and she could play flute.»
		The Polyphonic Spree Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! The Web site is kind of rough around the edges, all the edges really. The Polyphonic Spree was the #1 geek-out concert - trombones and everything, a big-tent revival complete with white robes - I've ever been to, and my face hurt from enjoying it so much, and you know you've done something good for yourself if your face hurts. Which means that they did something good for me, which was nice, so I bought their album.»

	Oct 28	Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor Depressed, rejected by critics, exploited by publishers, and receiving an in-person scathing from Tolstoy (followed by more depression), Rachmaninoff was brought back to composing by a friendly hypnotist - with the great Concerto #2 as the result.»
		Fractals for Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2 "I know it isn't very practical, but the idea is to examine each image as the appropriate movement is playing. It is the music which connects the images into a series, not the gradient nor the form nor the math nor the lines nor an idea. The music."»
		Yamaha Artist Spotlight: Helene Grimaud Helene Grimaud is a Westchester, New York-based classical pianist (who apparently did a fine version of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #2). Now 30, she has two interesting traits: one, she practices on a Yamaha. Two, she lives with wolves.»

	Nov 4	Wayne Coyne's Philosophy I think the Flaming Lips are proof that without skill, talent, money and good recording gear, you can make good records. Shadow animals aren't as easy to do as they look. The music business hasn't changed. It has always been about getting some Christ-like figure who has a lot of sex and money and looks good in pictures, and then exploiting him for money. Which is great!»
