From WWR

Jump to: navigation, search
I found out about Whole Wheat Radio when I saw Esther perform live and had a chance to meet her. I'm finally following up to see what it's like and so far I'm impressed by everything except how terribly hard to navigate the site is.

Yes, Karjam Saeji is my husband... but I give his songs 5 stars because they're worth it, not because I'm married to him. I hope that people can enjoy listening to his music courtesy of WWR, because it's hard to 'break-out' into the US music market when you're singing in Tibetan... we're trying, but CD sales are mostly to people we know personally so far, so I'm hoping for more word of mouth, and more exposure through communities like WWR.

I'm a music lover in general, though, so I'm here for a lot more than to hear my husband's music, which can be heard in my own home quite easily at all hours of the day and night (often live!).

Oh, and I'm in a Ph.D. program in Culture and Performance, so listening to independent music can almost be called homework... Image:CedarEyesClosed.jpgImage:CedarCloseUp1-small.jpg

If I had to 'label' myself musically I'd say my favorite is Rai, followed closely by Qawwali and Bhangra. I also enjoy Zouk, Soukous, music from Brittany, Turkey, the 'stans' (esp. Uzbekistan and Kazakstan), Greek, Gypsy/Roma, Tibetan and Korean music, and I vastly prefer music without English lyrics (including instrumental) to music with English lyrics, unless it's really good. For western music I like Celtic, Bluegrass, Blues, Jazz, Polka...

Horoscope

Today's horoscope for Capricorn:
The authority figure in your life might be acting strangely today -- it seems they are more concerned with their own issues than with mentoring you or challenging you to do your best. You might be tempted to take advantage of their distracted mood, but don't -- watch yourself and how you behave today. Now is the time to be a model citizen in every sense of the word. Resisting the temptation to goof off will help develop your ego and your self-discipline.
Looks like a 4 wheatberry day for you dear Capricorn.
