Music Friday: PS22 Chorus, Lisztomania by Phoenix

It's true...I cannot seem to not post on Phoenix every few weeks. I've written about them here and here and now in this post but honestly, I cannot think of a single person who dislikes their sound...hence all this posting, and after all, I like their sound. It's really magical. What's even more magical is when the arts in public schools meets contemporary culture. In an age where budget after budget is cut I cannot help but feel sad that generations of kids could be without strong arts programs.

If you have 19 minutes, and I hope you do, watch this video from Ted and Sir Ken Robinson about education and learning. There are so many good points about how the mind works, how we have treated education and why the arts are important. And if you don't have 19 minutes watch the PS22 rendition of Phoenix's Lisztomania and you'll see why the arts are important.



Hopefully you didn't skip the video above but this is awesome too:



Always more to come.

Have a good weekend.
