What kind of people love the paintings and drawings of Antoine Watteau? I think of them listening to Nick Drake and knowing every Alan Rudolph film. In fact, they are the present-day counterparts of the characters inhabiting Watteau's paintings: young...

This is a guest post by Shannon Paul (find her on Twitter, too). A prolific online personality, in her “day job” Shannon is the communications manager for PEAK6 Online. On the PR/marketing side of the equation we know good products go unnoticed without proper promotion, but we’re often reluctant to make the same admission about content. If [...]

Many good works of art, whether they’re famous in their day or not, exude a kind of “afterglow effect.” They have enough value that isn’t just hitched to one era to continue to shine, and to give pleasure to audiences. Why some good art isn’t big in its own time is an interesting question, with no single answer. Sometimes, it has to do with the personality of the artist....

Last week you sent us your favourite lunar tunes. Now we want songs with pep in their step ... What to do about classical music? That's the question that's been rattling around my noggin'. I don't mean "do about" in the sense of "take care". I have no plans to liquidate Gustavo Dudamel, not any that are viable anyway. I mean more "do about" in the sense of "include...

I know what you’re saying: You’re saying it’s only November and there might be some even more awesome tunes that are still to come in 2009. Maybe, but I prefer to think the way our Prime Minister thinks – if anything better than what’s on this list were going to be released in 2009, it [...]

We just received an e-mail from NYC producers/djs Cousin Cole and Pocketknife: “Our “Tambourine Dream” mix CD has been sold out for a long time now, and Pocketknife and I are hard at work on the sequel. In the mean time, we decided to upload the first one for streaming.” This folky mix CD was our soundtrack [...]

While we keep hearing record execs and politicians bemoaning the state of the recording industry, UK music critic John Harris has written up a great article at the BBC pointing out how wrong they are, and noting that this is the "golden age of infinite music." Indeed. This is exactly what we've been saying for years, though not as eloquently as Harris: Last weekend, by contrast, I had a long...

In a move guaranteed to annoy long-term science fiction fans, the estate of legendary science fiction author Isaac Asimov, who passed away in 1992, has authorized a trilogy of sequels to his beloved I, Robot short story series, to be written by relatively unknown fantasy author Mickey Zucker Reichert.

Over at the BBC, music journalist John Harris speculates on what may become of the music business now that we have entered the golden age of infinite music. "I've just poured the music-related contents of my brain into a book, and I would imagine that 30-ish years worth of knowledge about everyone from Funkadelic to The Smiths has probably cost me a five-figure sum, a stupid amount spent on music...
