http://tpr.org en http://tpr.org/post/dublin-drag-orchestra-way-alternate-routes <p>Thanks to my Facebook friend Lauri Pearson for setting me up for today's <em>Alternate Routes</em>. Lauri is a real listener, a true fanatic of music who does the mid-day shift at Magic 105.3 FM. Although she and I do most of our listening within different genres (there's more overlap than most might imagine), Lauri's observations about music are almost always spot on.</p> Wed, 05 Dec 2012 14:33:11 +0000 James Baker 2808 at http://tpr.org Dublin Drag Orchestra by Way of Alternate Routes http://tpr.org/post/three-new-releases-make-perfect-stocking-stuffers <p><strong>New Music is a great gift!</strong></p><p>John Clare has been listening to a lot of new releases lately - these three recordings really stood out.</p><p>Robert Xavier Rodriguez might not be a new name for TPR listeners, he was composer in residence for the San Antonio Symphony years ago, and his operas are often produced in Austin, Houston and Dallas (besides in the world's opera houses.)</p> Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:23:14 +0000 John Clare 2634 at http://tpr.org Three New Releases Make Perfect Stocking Stuffers
