I think Philip Glass' scores for Koyaanisqatsi and Mindwalk work particularly great. I also saw his performance a several months ago on PBS from the last night at Alice Tully Hall at the Met (Laurie also debuted "Only an Expert" from her forthcoming Homeland album that night) and he was fantastic.
Hmmm, you're from Englewood, NJ, mangajunky...ever been by the old Van Gelder house or the chapel-esque, Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Gelder studio in Englewood Cliffs? Can you possibly imagine the magnitude of the amount of great music that went down there?
Anyway, as for the other dude, I suppose you can still be mostly an alright guy but that living in Houston inevitably causes some misogyny and ignorance to have free domain and sometimes reign in one's thoughts.
