Michael Penn -- Mr. Hollywood Jr., 1947

 

No Code - Pearl Jam (1996)

 

A TV on the Radio mix I made on Spotify.

 

Bach's Cello Suites, played by Edgar Meyer on a double bass.

 

Uh Huh Her - PJ Harvey (2004)

 

Meyer is the composer in residence for the Alabama Symphony Orchestra this season. I look forward to his pieces this year.

 

Picked this up on a recommendation from a friend last week- haven't heard a bad track yet.

 

GHOST - Ghost (1990)

 

Ellis Marsalis -- Piano in E / Solo Piano (1986)

 

Bob Marley & The Wailers -- Catch A Fire (1973)

 

Pittsburgh's Composer in Residence is Steven Stucky, whose work I don't know much about. I wouldn't mind if the ASO and the PSO worked out a trade, though: Guest Composer and a woodwind to be named later or something.

 

Glitter And Doom Live - Tom Waits (2009)

 

Crowded House -- Intriguer (2010)

 

Nice. Last year we had Avner Dorman, whose work I wasn't familiar with before the season. I was way into it by the end of the year though. Was very happy that they chose someone with such bold, modern compositions.

The year before that, we had Paul Lansky. Lansky's music was sampled in the Radiohead song "Idioteque." The ASO had a program of Lansky's music and of the orchestral works of Jonny Greenwood (of Radiohead.) First time in a long time I've seen a sold out 1,300 seat theater for some seriously modern music.

 

Crowded House -- Temple of Low Men

 

Fool Around - Rachel Sweet (1978)

 

Unearthed (disc 2: Trouble in Mind) - Johnny Cash (2003)

 

MY MORNING JACKET - Okonokos (2006)

 

Out Of Time - R.E.M. (1991)

 

The Old Kit Bag - Richard Thompson (2003)

 

The Best of Sandy Denny (1991?)

 

Blue - Terje Rypdal (1987)
