I was reading this article in the New Yorker about the growing conservative movement among China’s youth when I came across this sentence:

He landed on a piece by Vangelis, a Yanni-style pop composer from Greece who is best known for his score for the movie “Chariots of Fire.”

Now I’ll grant you that “Chariots of Fire” is a bit over the top, but as a kid I loved the song and the scenes of them running on the beach. The rest of the movie, not so much. It’s still one of the few things that I can play on the piano. To judge Vangelis solely on that piece, though, is short sighted. Just listen to his extremely chill music from l’Apocalypse des Animaux from 1973. It sounds like Air circa 1999. It’s certainly not whatever the hell this is.

And, just because every post has to reference KU’s 2008 national championship, I give you this video.
