And now for something completely different.
I think that's one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever and I have loved it ever since I had to analyze it in music theory class in college a long time ago.  Stravinsky's Rite of Spring is probably the piece that has most blown my mind on the most occasions.  
I have lots of favorite foods but right now I'm looking forward to our traditional Danish Christmas dinner---yum!

I'm pigging out on Bach, on YouTube. All those delicious recordings of the cantatas, made 15 to 40 years ago, by Richter and Hononcourt and Koopman and Herrewege. Current fave: #124. At least three different performances are available, side by side . . .
And, I just discovered Rex Stout. My crime detection needs are met for the next few months, at least !

Bach is amazing, it was only a couple of years ago that it hit me.
Ill look up the author, bizaarley all the Rebus novels helped me stop smoking this year.
I can recomend The Windup Girl, it was a blast.

I've nearly figured out most of the etudes, but long to play the blues like my friend Luca.
Best,

I'm enjoying that Perfume Genius album quite a bit too. If you like that sort of baroque/glammy stuff, you may dig Jobriath too. Not recent. From the 70s (and obviously following in the wake of Bowie), but by no means a rip-off. His two albums are both really unique and enjoyable. Here's a clip of him in action:

A few more semi-obscure gems that may be appreciated here:
 
D.R. Hooker - "Forge Your Own Chains". Psychedelic Jesus. Private press from 1972. SUCH a good album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3egTE9_Hwk
 
Rexy Music - Don't Turn Me Away. 1981. Funky and a little disjointed. Love the stilted delivery on this one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq_viKr8h4U
 
Girls - "Methodist Church". This is a late 70s band from Boston called Girls, not the more recent Christopher Owens helmed band (though I like them too). Anyway, this song's a total scorcher and the whole album, Reunion, is great:

Wow, The Girls are pretty obscure,  I have a copy of that record, it's great.  They have a tune called "Cubist Grid" 
(I may be a heavy user of the new wave)
modern art-wise, see the artwork on all of the Buzzcocks singles, the graphic design of everything on Factory, kitsch modern design such as on The B52's and GO-GOs record sleeves, all the cut & paste classic punk collage stuff...  
it goes on and on and on

Cool! Yeah, that's an album I had to resort to ebay to pick up. I've been trying to build my record collection on the cheap, locally, but...I knew that one was going to be a lost cause. And I thought it was a great value at $30. I don't know if you found this through the Mutant Sounds blog like I did, but that (now defunct) blog was amazing and clued me in to so many great things that I likely wouldn't/couldn't have found otherwise. Being a music collector (or collector in general) in the age of the internet and file-sharing is a wonderful thing.
Sidenote - I mistakenly called the second band "Rexy Music". It's just "Rexy" and, to be clear, is not a Bryan Ferry side project.
