Magellan's Log Books & CDs
"Giving well is the best
revenge."
Gifts for yourself, and for any of your friends who are still awake and
thinking. All drawn from the sometimes boistrous, sometimes beautiful pages of Magellan's
Log. Click here for more info about, among other things, the
funniest book of the 21st century (so far).
 La Folia X 2
Two midi examples of what composers,
from 1650 to 2000, have done with the "La Folia" melody. You'll recognize the
tune even if you don't know its name.
TOP 10 MIDI'S
Unlike so many old-fashioned, stick-in-the-mud Internet magazines, Magellan's Log
makes extensive (some might say overly extensive) use of music files. From the several
hundred we've incorporated into our pages, we picked the best 10 (actually 12,
because we didn't know when to stop).
Really Old Golden Oldies
A century before Tin Pan Alley and the golden age of American song, there was this kid in
Germany who, starting in adolesence, turned 'em out, one after the
other...
"Playing an instrument is not about how.
It's about why."
--David
Lythgoe.
Music & Movies
 Sometimes putting out an online magazine is just too much fun.
We've had a blast brainstorming, leafing through Leonard Malten, combing the Internet, to
come up with our list of all-time bests (and worsts) relating to music in the movies. Match your choices with ours.
Music Quotations
The good, the bad, the enthralled, the pissed-off, all have something to say about the architecture
of audible air vibrations.
Disgustingly Eurocentric Music Quiz
Test your elitism with our 20-question
check-up, ranging from embarrassingly easy to downright tricky.
17 Composers
A simple little fill-in puzzle using
the names of 17 composers. There are two problems: not all the composers are that
well-known, and their names are scrambled.

Q: What do Aggies, Poles, blondes and musicians have in common? A: They
all have terabytes of Internet space devoted to jokes about them. For this music issue,
we've gone through hundreds of sites and carefully selected the best of the worst:
Narrative Music Jokes.
Q & A Music Jokes.
Middle School Answers on Music
Tests.
Violist Employment Test.
How to Cook a Conductor.
 EAR ORGASM
MUS: Harriet Lobdell gives precise instructions concerning how to have an orgasm inside the two
sound-collecting objects attached to the sides of your head. Hint: She is probably not
talking about what you at this moment think she's talking about.
The Bush II cabinet is the wealthiest in
history. Seven of the members are worth more than $10 million, and 11 of the remaining 12
are worth at least $1 million apiece.
Are TV Commercials
American Haiku?
ART: Diebold Essen suggests that great art is hidden away in the raucous, slam-bam
thank-you ma'am world of TV hucksterism.
The Magellan's Log
Guide to Good Music
Our highly idiosyncratic list of must-listens, from Fauré to
the Fugs, from Saint-Saëns to Sousa.
Ballade for a Piano
How two miracle- workers in Pasadena, Texas, gave a
gift of music to the 21st century--and beyond. With photographs.
