Michael Hall over on rdio tipped me to the jazz version by the Charlie Hunter Trio of Nirvana's Come As You Are. I like Charlie Hunter; I've listened to my share of Nirvana; I had never heard the intersection of the two. Excellent.
This, plus a trip to Amoeba Music and Aquarius Records in SF today where the classical CD inventory continues to shrink, triggers my usual comments:
- the social features of rdio.com aren't as good as the late lala.com but still pretty good
- rdio for better or worse doesn't have any mechanism to designate genre
- classical music on rdio is socially null i.e. invisible
- the classical music live performance industry depends on the classical music recording industry
- I subscribe to rdio.com (and emusic.com and netflix.com and...) but can't imagine subscribing again to a live cultural series
