POPSArtist Charts-Free MP3 downloads from MP3.com.au A site that has charts for MP3 downloads, and where downloads are free. It is Australian, and I chose the classical chart, but there are a number of other genres. There's bound to be some kind of music there to suit everyone. I keep getting more amazed at the things I am finding just because I took the trouble to look.

POPSRAVEL "Hidden clue to composer's passion: BBC" Many horny older gents may remember that Bolero was used in the movie 10 to great acclaim; the character played by Bo Derek kept restarting the music on a phonograph, while trying to seduce the character played by Dudley Moore. Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar used Boléro for a long sequence of the 1988 film "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown". Italian animator Bruno Bozzetto used the greater part of Boléro for a sequence in his Fantasia-like 1977 film Allegro non troppo. The music is also used, to great effect, in the circus-ring climax to the 1995 movie, Funny Bones. Enjoy!

POPSInfluential composer Gyorgy Ligeti dies I fell in love with Legeti's haunting music after falling in love with Kubrick's "2001" as a kid. I loved Ligeti's work that much more when I discovered how inventive and conceptual some of his compositions were. The most thorough biography of the man and his music: Gyorgy Ligeti: Music of the Imagination
