Paper Crane Collective
We have big, huge, epic news today at Those Who Dig. We are extremely honored to have been asked by Aaron of TSURURADIO to join a collective of some of the biggest, baddest, and bestest music bloggers on the interwebs today. The group is affectionately called the Paper Crane Collective and the official launch is today!! Each of the bloggers will contribute an original feature to the Collective a couple times a month.
For our part, we'll be writing a feature every other Tuesday (starting tomorrow!) called "All-Time Top 5" in which we profess our massive love for High Fidelity and present a Top 5 list on various topics, genres, themes, news stories, or whatever we feel like writing about that day – along with commentary, stories, and tunes!
So what the hell are you waiting for, get over to the PCC and check out what's going on!!

My favorite musicians are the ones who are not bound to the expectations of normative technique or repertoire. That being said I recently ran into a 'musical experiment' from Bill Harris where he performs a transcription of Leo Brouwer's Danza Characteristica for drum kit alongside Manuel Barrueco's recording.
One quality of a truly remarkable performance is that there is often one note and/or one phrase that can encapsulate the grace, fire, virtuosity, subtlety, or authenticity of the artist.
