		<description><![CDATA[Megan and I were talking last night about opera.  She hates it (though she did really enjoy the one opera we&#8217;ve seen together&#8211;a BYU production of Le Nozze di Figaro).  She doesn&#8217;t like that style of singing.

		<description><![CDATA[Forgot what we were talking about&#8230;.
Megan: It reminds me of that Norah Jones song.
Me: &#8220;Don&#8217;t Know Why&#8221;?
Megan: No, &#8220;Cold, Cold Heart.&#8221;
Me: That&#8217;s a Hank Williams song.
Megan: Well, now it&#8217;s a Norah Jones song.

Link to the Hank Williams version.

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s my bloated version of the ubiquitous Facebook note.  I wanted this list to reflect albums that actually had a major impact on my relationship with music, not just a list of my favorite albums.  These don&#8217;t seem nearly as cool as some of the lists I&#8217;ve read.. oh well.

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to my new music blog.  I plan to write occasionally on new music, composition, popular music, aesthetics, and anything else that pops up.  I&#8217;ll also share links I run across.  Be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed, and feel free to leave any comments you have&#8211;I enjoy discussions more than pronouncements.
