Blitz Magazine

A copy of this magazine arrived in my mailbox this week. It's subtitle is "on the business of media communication." Interesting read.

World AIDS Day / Day Without Art

December 1 is World AIDS Day and in the art world is observed by many galleries as "A Day Without Art." Galleries will shut or will drap art with black cloth or will have special information about World AIDS Day.

If, like me, you've lost someone to this horrible disease, take a minute to remember today.

'Tis the Season

Some new Christmas tunes have recently been added to my iTunes - Sarah MacLaclan's Wintersong is an interesting compiliation of old favourites and some surprises - she covers the Charlie Brown Christmas tune "Christmas Time is Here."

I've also downloaded a compilation by various obscure - or at least obscure to me - artists (and some not so obscure like BNL) called "Do you Hear What I Hear" - Venus Hum do "Silver Bells" and The Format cover Berle Ives' "Holly, Jolly Christmas".

And I found my favourite Christmas tune of all time - Bing Crosby and David Bowie doing "Little Drummer Boy / Peace on Earth." Christmas isn't complete without this one for me! Such a bizarre pairing.

Check out iTunes to find all of these. Let me know if you find something that you love and would be a great addition to my Christmas collection.
