If you aren't already, you MUST start watching the show "Spectacle", which airs on the Sundance Channel. The show is hosted by Elvis Costello, and on each episode he features one or more artists and discusses their music. Recent artists have included Elton John, Diana Krall, Jakob Dylan, Herbie Hancock, Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, and James Taylor. There are many more. Besides getting the opportunity to listen to best musicians and singers in the world perform the best songs ever written in ways you can't imagine, you get an amazing look into the "lens" of an artist, and the kind of history of music that you can only get by talking to the people who made the history. I think it is absolutely phenomenal.

Check out the main page here: Spectacle

If you don't get the Sundance Channel itself but your cable company offers "HD on Demand", check there. I view the show on-demand from my cable company, anytime I want.

Cheers - Dan
