Any further news on the Los Angeles Master Chorale recording? Seems to have disappeared from the Decca Catalogue page ( http://www.deccaclassics.com/cat/single?PRODUCT_NR=4782506 ).

I am totally taking responsibility / credit for the Sami Kukka thing. He is actually a recording engineer called Esa Santonen and has made 3 beautiful albums in the last 20 or so years. Samuli Kosminen produced the last one (Menen Veteen) and I got to do some arranging, fiddling and singing on it. I hope this blog is the beginning of world domination for Sami Kukka. He also exists here: http://www.myspace.com/samikukka

Do you know when the LAMC disc is going to be released, by any chance?

I have Pantera`s “Cowboys from Hell” on my iTunes that I have no idea how it got there. I keep it cause it gives me some thug cred in an otherwise pretty normal existence.

I assume you tried the “Askimet” spam thingee for wordpress but if not give it a try it works great and it will totally remove all the Hang Burdett and Arlene Turley from your life.

I, too, am consistently frustrated/amused by the cover art thing on itunes. my other itunes question is: why do they always chose the 30 most obscure seconds of any track for the sample listen when browsing through the store?

i’m not sure if it is worthy or note, or not, but i’ve been going through for the past two weeks (on and off) using this guide:

and i’m pretty happy with it – took some googling to find a system that i agreed with!

One could make a stirring libretto from all the spam emails I receive each week… the prince in Nigeria, the lady in London, the folks in Australia asking me to claim the lottery prize I just won, etc.

The language is so cute, there’s got to be a cantata here somewhere … about man’s incredulity to man. Or something.

To paraphrase John Cage, I get so much spam these days, I can’t recognize it anymore.

The iTunes meta-data filling-in pro-cess is a daunting task. Typically I organize by album artist for all albums that have a single composer, band, or artist. I don’t ever worry about the regular artist classification because it makes things complicated. When an album has multiple artists (or pieces by multiple composers), it goes under the ole reliable “Various Artists” classification or the name of whatever performing body produced the pieces.

Also, congrats on the LAMC album. Hopefully, one day, you might be included on a 100 ‘classical’ hits album that sticks you next to some Mozart piano concerto, fully retrofitted with the finest decontextualization money can buy, on the discount shelf in Target, in the relaxing music section.

I have this same problem! With the artwork not matching the music. Altho you have to admit, that Buxtehude cantata is pretty gangsta.

Oh yes, I have a similar album art problem on my iPod. For example, all ten discs of the Kronos Quartet retrospective have adopted different artwork, some are even screenshots from videos. Also, yes! Some genius should figure out a better way to sort classical music in iTunes. I would totally take the time to fill in every musician from every recording.
