Johann Sebastian Bach
March 21, 1685, Johann Sebastian Bach was born. If I could only listen to the music of one artist for the rest of my life, it would be the music of Bach. Thanks, J.S. for bringing such sublime beauty into this sometimes ugly world!
(And thanks to musicians like Glenn Gould, Pablo Casals, Wanda Landowska, Isaac Stern, Trevor Pinnock, Andras Schiff, etc., for being such fantastic interpreters of Bach's music!)

What is Italy?
"Italy is the Land of Laissez-faire, a bucolic anarchy governed by wine and connivances of various loves--of good food, of sex, of liberty, of devil-may-care, of take-it-or-leave-it--above all a love of life."--Signor Farfalla, A Very Private Gentleman by Martin Booth

Samourai Soundtrack
A great song from trip-hop's glory days in the '90s. The sample is from John Barry's soundtrack to The Ipcress File.
