I found this free album on the Amazon MP3 shop. It’s got artists like Aterciopelados, IMS, Sara Valenzuela, Juana Molina…good stuff; trust me. I wouldn’t exactly classify the last track [Manu Chao’s ‘Clandestino’] as new since that’s a pretty old song but other than that, it’s a pretty fresh collection.
Check it out and learn a little about these excellent bands from Spanish speaking countries.

Looks like my muse decided to come back and visit recently. I hope she stays. I’ll call this one ‘Everything Is Going to be OK’
This link has been making the rounds on all the geeky sites. So I’m passing it around, particularly because I was surprised to come across Steve Reich’s Piano Phase.
It makes sense that it’d be pretty easy to program a computer to achieve this effect, written as such:
f={|t|Pbind(\note,Pseq([-1,1,6,8,9,1,-1,8,6,1,9,8]+5,319),\dur,t)};Ptpar([0,f.(1/6),12,f.(0.1672)],1).play
This guy has certainly thought waaay more about conductors than I ever have. :)
