I’ve now been to two practices with the Punk Rock Orchestra, and there’s already political trouble brewing. In honour of the atmosphere after Sunday’s practice, this excerpt from the latest bit of music I arranged seems exceedingly appropriate.

Speaking of music, someone at work has a iTunes share entitled “Destruction Music”. Naturally, this piqued my interest. It features the alphabetically induced conjunction of Johnny Cash’s greatest hits, immediately followed by the Katamari Damacy sound track. It is quite the auditory revelation: the brooding dark baritone of the Man in Black at the end of his career (”Hurt”), versus the pastel tones of Japanese hip-pop chanting: “nananana katamari!”

Happy birthday, Dorritta!
