I am a very fortunate person. I am constantly being exposed to new, cool music. Just as I approach the end of my doctoral coursework and am feeling pretty burned out (I didn't take any time off from undergrand to masters to doctorate...), I get reinvigorated by all this new music. The only frustrating thing is that there aren't a whole lot of people running around to share it with. :(
So, I'm gonna mention Jean-Phillipe Goude here because a friend of mine (who expands my ears with his nonPop podcast) was playing this CD and I couldn't stop listening. Just head over to Goude's MySpace page and tell me that you don't enjoy the first track that starts playing. That's cool music.
Now, I know that there are things that I'm working on (such as An Hour for Piano) that are more difficult to listen to, but I really think that so much of this stuff is really accessible and fun to hear. I'll post my recital recording once I get it, but for now, go check out JP Goude. He's also on iTunes if you want to download the album. Happy listening!
