Every other year, I listen to all of the music in my collection. Often, I discover new things about music I'm familiar with or learn new things about songs I'm not as familiar with. This is where I'll be documenting that.

Arcade Fire's "Rococo"
I just listened to Arcade Fire's The Suburbs. I'd never noticed that there's harpsichord in "Rococo" (or at least I hadn't paid much attention to it), but it's fitting. I don't know much about it, but Rococo was an artistic period in the 18th century, sort of a smaller branch of the Baroque, if I understand correctly from my skimming of the Wikipedia article. And the harpsichord was "widely used" in Baroque music.
