    Of course I remembered even more Moldy 70s songs immediately after I posted my Moldy 70s video collection, but one of them led to an unanticipated discovery.  Looking for Starbuck&#39;s &quot;Moonlight Feels Right&quot; on YouTube, I found instead a live perfor...    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

    Item 1: Mrs. Veneer buys Ryuichi Sakamoto&#39;s CD of solo piano pieces, BTTB.  It&#39;s quite beautiful and Sakamoto mostly avoids the New Age clichés that plague so many piano CDs.  Some of the pieces are obvious homages to classical works, such as &quot;Opu...    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

    I rarely remember to search for my old favorites on YouTube, so it often happens that I happen upon them while blog surfing.

&lt;/p&gt;
    My grasp of deep funk has always been of the &quot;I can&#39;t define it, but I know it when I hear it&quot; variety, but now I have come up with a working definition: deep funk is funk that pretends P-Funk never happened.  How&#39;s that?  Japan&#39;s Osaka Monaurail ...    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;
