That Is Why

Galina Oleinichenko

I sort of fell into studying classical vocal earlier in the year and have become a super fan of Galina Oleinichenko. If what I've read is true, she was born on February 23, 1928 in Ukraine and was famous primarily as a coloratura star of the Bolshoi Theatre in the 60s-70s.

But I Don't Know What It Means

One Night of Love.

Mystery Jets are coming to Toronto on September 13th! The show was announced a few days back and because they're playing at Horseshoe (a fairly small venue) I literally felt ill at the thought that it might already be sold out. I actually asked if I could leave work for a bit to go get tickets and when I finally had them firmly within my grasp a giant wave of equal parts relief and glee washed over me. Sometimes, when you love something a lot you think everyone else must, too. Lucky for me I think they are still relatively unknown around here. I am so excited I can hardly stand it.

L'Impossible Amour.

Joey and I went to the annual St. Stephen's-on-the-Hill church garage sale over the weekend and he found this:



It was already love at first sight but then he instructed me to open it up. He watched as I slid the dust cover off and slowly lifted the front panel to reveal:



OH MY GOD.



I had never heard of Mireille Mathieu before so as soon as I got home I gave it a listen. What a voice; think Edith Piaf as a pop star.
