		<description><![CDATA[Of all the beasts roaming the grizzled art-scape, the opera singer will always have a unique place in my heart.  At the surface, I sometimes feel that their self-unconscious melodrama, facial contortions, and readiness to accept nonsensical plot devices warrants as much abuse as possible.  I mean, who wouldn&#8217;t recognise their freaking wife just because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My house was ransacked by a wild animal today.  There I was, mild mannerly blasting the &#8216;hood with Corigliano&#8217;s Piano Concerto when the ten-legged and eighteen valved beast appeared in the street and bleated out a six note motif in retaliation.  I sprang into action and mangled myself into my record collection trying to find [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had another sickening love-in visit from yet another early music ensemble thanks to Early-Music Vancouver. Stile Antico is a group of twelve singers who are actually thirteen singers from the UK who specialize in pre-Bach choral music. We&#8217;re told they&#8217;re supposed to be young and if you&#8217;re old, they probably are. To the four [...]]]></description>

Most of us who&#8217;ve done so will tell you that there are only three good ones: The first two and the last one. The first potato beckons seductively from it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

I love their weird instruments, I love that an integral aspect of being an early music nerd is being a bigger nerd than the person next to you, I love their anal-retentive adherence to a modestly documented performance [...]]]></description>

I first heard it on the CBC as I was going to bed.  I had just finished my nightly rituals and was setting my alarm, clicking it past the radio option to the alarm-radio option, and happened to [...]]]></description>
