Nice days under darkest skies
On music :  California dreaming in the North of the Netherlands.

This post will not cover anything on .net, if that's what you're looking for : stop reading. This post will be entirely on music, if you think that kind of stuff doesn't belong here : let me know. I do believe music is quite an important topic amongst developers, regularly  many share some of their thoughts on the subject. Varying from the song they are listening to while blogging to a gallery of guitars. I cannot listen to music while programming but to me a piece of software (source code) does have things comparable to rhythm, melody and harmony. I know the software and the musical taste of some developers and do see a correlation between the style of the two.

This post is not on guitars but on the human voice, the best musical instrument ever. If you have, like me, a post PDC California dreaming and keep hearing the Mammas and Pappas this one is recommended. Ygdrassil are a singing duo from the North of the Netherlands with harmonies which, amongst many others, do remind of a California dreaming. Ygdrassil's music is quite fragile, hopelessly romantic and absolutely hypnotizing. On the web are (part of) two samples from their latest album. The first shows their talent as a more classical singer-songwriter, the second one is a piece of vocal acrobatics firmly rooted in folk music. In case you get hooked, the album is availalble online. And there is a new one coming next year.

Listen on,

Peter

Well, you could move your blog over to weblogs.asp.net, everyone is off topic there anyways. Alan Dean generally never posted on topic either. Oh well, I guess some people don't really want to blog on .NET and provide anything usable to the rest of the community. My recommendation is to open your personal blog somewhere else and provide a link to it from your dotnetjunkies blog.

Ok, you're not interested. But I don't understand the context.
