I spend far too much time browing YouTube for interesting music. In my defence, it’s one thing that can still be done when there’s a toddler fast asleep on your chest, or even in those lulls when you lose inspiration for your work. It’s also nice to share the best clips with friends, and have them send their own favourites back to you.
Last week, I decided it might be a good idea to share some of these things with a slightly wider audience. So I have: they’re here, complete with a few lines about each piece of music.
I know that if I’m to keep adding clips, I need to impose some sort of order. That’s why I’ve devoted each day of the week to a broad genre:
Monday. Classical music (in its broadest sense). My first and most enduring musical interest.
Tuesday. Nostalgia - the (often dreadful) stuff I used to listen to as a teenager.
Wednesday. World music. From Japan to Africa to the Balkans. Though I suspect a lot of French stuff will be appearing.
Thursday. Jazz and Blues.
Friday. Funny songs and other amusing bits of music.
Saturday. Film soundtracks.
Gloomy Sundays. Just that. Depressing music before the working week begins.
Anyway, take a look and do leave comments and suggestions. I’m always happy to be pointed in the direction of something new.
