O is for Ocean

Dirty Projectors and Bjork have joined in the making of Mount Wittenberg Orca, a collection of songs inspired by a family of whales. Bjork and the girls from Dirty Projectors actually sing whale parts! All the money from the sales of the album (only available via download) go towards creating international protected marine areas, a drastically underrepresented cause to keep our oceans alive.

All this talk about whales reminds me of one of my favorite film growing up :

V is for Virtuoso

"...a virtuoso was, originally, a highly accomplished musician, but by the nineteenth century the term had become restricted to performers, both vocal and instrumental, whose technical accomplishments were so pronounced as to dazzle the public."

I am a fan of Dirty Projectors. You can download their free 7" here!
