"Who Is Eulalie Bach, Alex?"

That's the only answer I can think of to the question of who would google in here looking for Roderick Spode Schickele.

(And if you get this, you really are my kind of nerd.)

UPDATE: Speaking of Bachs (and I'm talking about old J.S., now, not the last and least of his progeny), I recently picked up this recording:

The Complete Orchestral Suites, performed by Martin Pearlman and the Boston Baroque.

As you might guess, this is a period instrument group. However, it is not obnoxiously so - no insane tempi, no extra scraping and shrieking. Instead, it comes through with a clarity of tone and purity of note well worthy of these wonderful pieces of music.

As for the musick itself, well, what can I say? I'm not especially fond of the 2nd Suite (in B minor), but I love the other three dearly. I've had the Bourrees from the 4th Suite running through my head for a couple days now. Anyone who's heart isn't lifted by them can only be hopelessly tone-deaf.
