Terry Teachout has a large and superb compilation of YouTube videos and, from other sources, audio recordings of performances by Casals, Heifetz, jazz greats, Dylan, T. S. Eliot, and many more. Scroll down on lower right.
Topics: E.T.
The local music community here in Savannah has also created an archive of sorts of
YouTube
videos. For folks with more eclectic tastes, this covers everything from free form jazz to
obscure world music artists with plenty of indie rock and/or roll in between. As a warning,
some may find the language offensive. However, the research that has gone into
assembling
this collection is superb.

No comment on the music itself (and I am deaf to lyrics, so my apologies if they are
offensive), but this music video’s theme is data and information graphics. Therefore it may
be amusing to readers:

Dr. Tufte-
thought you might be interested in this if you hadnt yet seen it. This U-tube video cartoon reminds me of Minards’s ‘Napoleon’s March to Moscow’, both being elegantly simple graphic displays of historic tragedies.
