Chicago bluesman Theodore Roosevelt “Hound Dog” Taylor (1915-1975) was born with six fingers on each hand.  The extra digit on his right hand was reportedly not a benefit to his guitar playing, and it is said that Taylor eventually amputated it with a razor blade.

With a young man named Roy on kettle, Robyn Hitchcock performs “The Ballad of Old 604” an ode to the last London trolleybus live outside Fulwell Depot on 8 May 2012, the 50th anniversary of the last London trolleybus journey. (Thanks to whoever wrote that description!)

Electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk play an eight-night career retrospective this week at New York City’s Museum of Modern Art.  The band plays a different album in its entirety each night.  Kraftwerk concerts—which happen rarely—are multimedia extravaganzas; this retrospective features projections that require audience members to wear 3D glasses.  I wasn’t able to get tickets, but am reading this week’s reports with excitement.

The whole problem can be stated quite simply by asking, ‘Is there a meaning to music?’ My answer would be, ‘Yes.’ And ‘Can you state in so many words what the meaning is?’ My answer to that would be, ‘No.’ —Aaron Copland
