Over the summer I stumbled across some music websites, that are interesting mix of old and new. The first is Live on Letterman on YouTube, For those of you not familiar with Late night with David Letterman, it is a long running talk show, with popular personalities as guests. The show also features a musical guest, which performs a song. Live on Letterman is a recording of a full, usually hour long, musical performance, for the audience at the end of the show. Another inrtteresting fact is that the show is recorded at the Ed Sullivan Theatre. Below is a musical performance by the Foo Fighters, dressed in suits and shot in black and white to pay tribute to Ed Sullivan who the theatre was named after.
In spite of the fact we are reluctant to admit it, there is something comforting and enjoyable about being back to school. It probably comes from the fact that it fulfills a basic human desire for the familiarity of routine, and the challenge of new ideas.

Another interesting site on the web Live from Daryl's House, which features Daryl Hall, from the 80's band Hall and Oates (ask your parents or google them), performing with modern artists shot. It is unique as well as it is shot a studio in his basement. While I wasn't a Hall and Oates fan, there are some great modern performances on this site. (See the video below) What sites challenge how you think? What music are you interested? What are you looking forward to this school year? What challenges concern you? Let me know what you think.
