BP Radio: classical edition starting in about five minutes. A lot of twentieth century stuff, and a lot of stuff you won't hear on your local classical station. :) →[More:]

Also, this is my first broadcast on my new computer (yay!), so if anyone experiences any technical problems, lemme know.

I saw Steve Reich talk to a small group of music grad students in the music department at Columbia in the 80s when he was just finishing up Different Trains.

Are you going to be on IRC to chat with us while you play?

mats- I must have missed that shoutout, so it's okay! :) (Been swamped with work AND trying to switch computers at home, so haven't been around as much as I'd like...)

Cool, agro, and uh huh ethylene!

I've got to make myself some lunch and then I'll drop into IRC while I eat. :)
