    A week ago, it was announced that DMX was in a coma with little brain activity detected. Yesterday, it was announced that he had died. I don't listen to much rap anymore, but I always thought DMX was one of the greats and I've been listening to some of his albums this week for the first time in years. It's really driven the point home just how far the popular rap scene has fallen.

    I'm not an old man yet, but I can't help but to think that they don't make'm like they used to!

    I've listened to a lot of Vivaldi over the years, but this morning I heard "Bassoon Concerto in G minor" for the first time. It's my best song ever of the week :D

    Nice! As someone partial to conical bore instruments, I find the the bassoon is very beautiful and far too often overlooked.

    This sad, but ultimately open to hope, song from 19-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter Sophia Fracassi has me shook lately. "And I never find the answers to the questions on the test:" Ouch.

    Evan Pang, a member of Sandy Lake First Nation in Northern Ontario, was given a non-inherited surname at birth. His mother hoped to protect him from the anti-Indigenous racism that isn't uncommon in Canada.

    Fast forward to the pandemic, and the young man began writing and recording music at home. For the name he'd release his music under, he reclaimed his grandfather's Oji-Cree surname: Aysanabee.

    His debut single was the first song by an Indigenous artist to reach #1 on the Canadian alternative rock charts. He quickly scored follow-up hits and a bravura performance at the Juno Awards.

    Aysanabee's new song – a pleading romantic duet with Raye Zaragoza, an American singer-songwriter of Tohono O'odham heritage – really should be an all-format smash.
