The word ICONIC has always startled me: what do cons have to do with eyes… Sorry I’m being silly, but really is an icon a con for the eye, could music be iconic, or rather EAR.conic? I have decided the answer is yes.

Please log in each month to (re)discover ear.conic tracks in the following categories: the missing link (audio pieces that brought something to Music), guilty pleasure (I love it, you love it, but we all pretend not to), eye.conic (videos you will want to watch many a times) and finally SO ear.conic (legendary tracks).
