A notebook of stray thoughts from your pals Cindy Hotpoint & Pinkie Von Bloom. Because we like more than just music, you know. You can reach us at elegantfaker AT gmail DOT com. We <3 you!

(To our Tumblr followers: we read you on the feed side b/c Cindy really loathes using the Tumblr interface for reading posts.)

Slow Music for Fast Times
What keeps a girl going when she’s rewriting human resources materials between meetings with an IT developer and trying to track down information from a freaky accountant?  Especially when the ups and downs from her desk are too frequent to make headphones comfortable?  The WNYC New Sounds archive.  That’s what.  Modern classical, electroacoustic and experimental, with a little fruity new age, weird modern choral music, and awesome “dark ambient” (remember that genre?) thrown in for good measure, available all the way back to 1986.  Today’s self-selected programming has been mostly Steve Reich, Brian Eno, and Klaus Schultze (his imaginary soundtrack to Dune — the book — is amazing).  Now playing:  Gavin Bryars’ Medea.  This archive satisfies everything I’d like to get from Music from the Hearts of Space but am too cheap to pay for, without rude quasi-Celtic interruptions.
