New Music Alert!

The ways of the internet are mysterious and convoluted. Sometimes in a conversation, one will try to figure out the string of conversation that led to the current topic--In the same way, I've been trying to figure out exactly what brought me to the Myspace site of Rich Aucoin and his lovely music.

I think there may have been a conversation involving babies on Fark, and someone mentioned the Halifax comedy troupe Picnicface, and their "Harness the power of 400 babies!" sketch, which somehow led me to Youtube and one of their other sketches, which had Rich Aucoin's music during the credits, and that led me to his videos on Youtube, which led me to his Myspace page. Whew. I think.

Anyway, I suggest you check out his stuff. It's lovely melodious indie pop and you will enjoy it. You will. I friended Rich on Myspace and he wanted to know how in the world someone in Ohio had heard of him. It's the world wide webs!

And since 'tis the season, I'd also like to offer this sync'd version of the How the Grinch Stole Christmas, with music by Rich Aucoin. He did a pretty amazing job of writing and working the music to go with the film.

Plus, the man rode his bike across Canada to raise money for cancer research. How about that?? He's a bike-riding, music making machine.
