Tim Bray is a bit of a geek celebrity for his work on XML. Apparently he’s also a music lover:
“Music to Die For” is a not-uncommon expression but it makes me nervous since I’m among the people most likely to be a music fatality. This would happen when I’m driving and something comes on the radio that I haven’t heard before that’s so beautiful that it sucks up all my mental capacity. What’s really sad is that I could easily take some innocents along with me, and they might hate music, which would be terribly unjust. It happened again this morning, but I survived and can tell you about an outstanding recording you’ve probably never heard of.
