Lots Going On | Michael Patrick Brady

Update: Did the radio bit. Man, news radio is fast. In and out in under 5 minutes, but we fit in quite a bit of material. Hopefully it wasn’t confusing to anybody listening in the greater D.C. area.

Got a copy of The Black Death: A Personal History by John Hatcher, which I will be reviewing for PopMatters.

Lots of stuff going on at the moment. Tomorrow (7/8) at 2:20pm, I am scheduled to speak on WTOP Radio (103.5 FM) in the Washington D.C. area, about my recent Forbes.com article on getting web video content onto your HDTV. The article also got a nice link in the daily roundup over at Mediabistro (at the very bottom).

I’ve also received Nico Muhly’s Mothertongue, which will be released at the end of the month on Brassland. I’m digging it so far, really daring modern classical with an accessible pop-bent, think Bjork or Philip Glass.
