6/16, 6/18

In Brief:

Day: 6/16/06
Song: Ave Maria
Artist: unknown soloist/Bretram O'Bryen composer

6/16/06 was the day of the funeral for my Grandma. I mentioned previously that her dad was a chior director, but I didn't mention that he wrote some music. Among the things he composed was this Ave Maria, written for his wife and published by McLaughlin & Reilly Co of Boston back in 1915. It was sung at grandma's funeral by an unknown Contralto.

Day: 6/18/06
Song: New Buildings
Artist: Parts and Labor
Switching things up some... Screeching Weasel and Sonic Youth fight in an alley. The Locust jump in. Ben Weasel staggers out bleeding. This song is a pop punk gem made all the more precious by being buried in noise, feedback and keyboard sonic terror. There's a live video of it at the jagjaguwar website.
