Something to Gripe About
As long as I'm blogging....
The real problem with online music (and believe me that's the next thing and it's irrevocable) whether you get yours from iTunes or Amazon or a buddy in Indonesia or eBay, is NO LINER NOTEs! No texts, no translations, no bios, no orchestra personnel lists or production info or program notes or dates. This may ok for the latest, up-and-coming rock band - but it is NOT okay for the latest, downloaded, bought-and-paid-for track of the J. S. Bach motet "O Jesu Christ, meins lebens licht" BWV 118.
What's a girl to do??? Translate the text myself? Go to the library and look it up? Spend hours of fruitless Googling or Wikipedia-ing? Scholars and musicologists, it's time to band together and do something about this! Fix it!
Meanwhile.... I'm going to Hawaii...
