The Mavericks, All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down, featuring Flaco Jimenez on the accordion
most significant thing i’ve created in my lifetime.
Jean Sibelius, Symphony No. 3 in C, op. 52, I: Allegro moderato, Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, Mariss Jansons, cond.
“If you ever question that music is the universal language, watch this: A German-speaking teacher tutoring a French-speaking African how to sing an aria in Italian.”
The inspired story of the Kimbanguiste Symphony Orchestra, the only symphony orchestra in Central Africa, which practices in a rented warehouse in the Congo and got its start with no instruments and no professional musicians who knew how to read music – a wonderful addition to other recent innovation in orchestras.
Other than not distinguishing the Democratic Republic of the Congo from the Republic of the Congo, this is wonderful. Watch it.

Trying to figure out the brand-new Spotify player here on Tumblr. It doesn’t work for me. I click the play button and a window pops up to launch Spotify, but then nothing happens (I already have the program open and logged in on the desktop). Does it work for you?
ETA: If I go to my Tumblr homepage and see this post, it’ll have an auto-added source link on the bottom. If I click on this link I’ll be brought to the site open.spotify.com, which then launches the player and plays the music. But why doesn’t this work from the dashboard? Weird.
ETA 2: Solved. Guess I needed to have the latest version of Spotify and agree to their new terms of service. Oh well.
