Links & Faves

News: Introspection in conducting

Video: Awesome thing on a great band

Music: My favorite new artist.

Me: What I've been up to


So, basically all of these have a mood with them.  I guess I've had all of those moods recently.  Maybe there's a touch of complacency seeping in to my life, but I when things happen, they're less awesome than the build up.  If that makes sense.  Like with tests, you do all this awesome studying, and then the test is nothing like what you studied and so you still do bad.  Something like that.
Then there's things that make so much sense and you just want to drop everything and pursue them completely.  That's the way music has been for me this week.  Whether it's making music on my MIDI keyboard or in the practice room with my cello, things have made sense and seemed progressive.  The drive and desire is all there, but sometimes the time hasn't been.  It's really bad when you have to stop practicing so you can get to class on time.  Often I'll end practicing at about the right time to get to class, but when you have to force yourself to stop, there's something good going on.  Sort of.

Anyway, this has felt really scattered and maybe too personal for a blog.
I can still hate things, trust me.  You'll see.
