...And the Oscar so have gone to


"Simple Song #3", a stunning piece of music from the documentary YOUTH, that should have won the Oscar for Best Song. But to add insult to injury I was surprised to see that singer Sumi Jo and songwriter David Lang were passed over in presenting the song at the awards.  "Simple Song # 3" and fellow nominee "Manta Ray" from RACING EXTINCTION Music by J. Ralph; Lyric by Anohni were both missing from the show and I for one think that is lame.  And apparently so do they!

Canada is Having a Moment


Last night was all about Canada.  Drake's video release was the hottest thing to happen to the music industry since Bey dropped her digital album.  


The Blue Jays rolled over Kansas City to get back in the ALCS down two games to one and looking to equalize tonight. 


The Liberals seized a majority government in an historic election. Pretty boy Trudeau was all over the New York Times home page this morning 



Toronto voters elected all Liberals in their downtown riding.  Prompting the above image from Liberal Blue Jays fans. 


This guy knows where's it at.

WERK


Haunted is my current favourite song from the new Visual Album by Beyoncé.  Here is a video created by Beyoncé's choreographer Dana Fogila.  It's pretty rad.

Music for 18 Musicians

While doing an interview for the EAP website this week, I was introduced to the American minimalist composure Steve Reich.  Much like his contemporary Philip Glass, Reich explored new and challenging ideas in his music. "Music for 18 Musicians" is perhaps his most famous piece.  Last year in Chicago the contemporary music group eighth blackbird did a live performance and filmed it for the web.  Check it out.
