Going to bed early (Listen to BACH!!!!!)


Well, gotta get a pre-dawn start tomorrow: consultant in from out of town, blah blah, woof woof. But I had time this evening to make an 8tracks mix of one of my favorite recordings.





J.S. Bach is the man, and they don't come better than this. Yes, you've got your Goldberg Variations, your Brandenburg Concertos, your Two and Three Part Inventions, the Motets, and even the B Minor Mass. But nothing beats the 200 church cantatas. The man was an absolute genius, and his work on the cantatas might be the artistic pinnacle of the Enlightenment. I'm dead freakin' serious.
