NPR has compiled a list of the 50 most important recordings of the past 10 years.

This is just a little challenge. John Battelle wrote about the "database of intentions" in his book, The Search. If you look at our search history, it tells us who we are and what we value. Our Google searches are the artifacts of our culture. Really, it's just a small challenge. Google something better.

Peter Kirn is shaking it up and inspiring me to think about what actions I need to take in response to the diminishing importance of the arts in our culture.

On the one hand, I feel like I can't take any credit for this piece because I didn't play a lick of it. On the other hand, I spent a lot of time creating the rules that would compose this music in real-time.

This is my first attempt at composing generative music.

"Their minds seem like clean slates upon which we can write." -Dr. Cyril J. C. Kennedy and Dr. David Anchel on the benefits of electroshock therapy, 1948. "I had just one goal--to stay alive until the next day...But it wasn't just to survive, but to survive as me." -Mario Villani, survivor of four years in Argentina's torture camps.

These are the social networks and social music networks in which I'm currently involved. Friend me up!

I've started another blog over at Graham English's Integral Conversations. This blog is going to be integral in the sense of filling the holes not covered at The Graham English Blog and The Graham English Podcast and by having an integral approach on subjects like marketing, spirituality, art, and much more.

I've created a songwriting lens over at Squidoo: Songwriting Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts A lens is simply an information filter. I've chosen what I believe to be the best songwriting books and websites around. Check it out: Songwriting Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts

I snuck out of Boston for a few days and infiltrated the NAMM show as a buyer for Denver School of Music. The highlight was meeting jazz legend, Herbie Hancock.

As much as I love teaching Absolute Pitch University, 3 months is a very long commitment and I've decided not to teach it again. I might break it down into single modules later, but if you want the opportunity to be among the elite few who finish APU, now's the only time.

Mark your calendars. 12 weeks of intense "Music Hacking" begins on October 15th. Visit Absolute Pitch University for all the details. But you must do it fast because seats are strictly limited.

You won’t have to change anything. All posts are being redirected to the new location and the feed address will remain the same. But there’s plenty of new stuff to see at the new location of the Graham English Official Site. See you there!

Music is like a language. And we all know that learning languages comes easier when you're a child. And in some ways, it's much easier for a child to learn music, especially to learn how to play by ear. Putting two and two together, you might ask yourself what is the difference between an adult and a child that makes it easier for the child to learn languages?

Featuring: Music lessons pay off, an electronic dictionary of musical themes, audio illusions, an aural comprehension guide, and more. Read on...
