Friday Links
Lots of organizing going on this week for a contest of which you may have heard (seriously? Is that really better than dangling?). Big things are afoot….sasquatch-type things, which shall be revealed in due course…meaning Monday. Set your alarm.
In the meantime, you may find the following links to be a useful starting point to an interwebs journey to known unknowns. (STOP PRESS: MISS MUSSEL JUST QUOTED DONALD RUMSFELD. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE WORLD.)
- Those that say classical music is elitist are just plain silly. We commit securities fraud just like everyone else.
- Ever got an annoying pop song stuck in your head? Will Bryant takes a stab at explaining why in the Guardian
- Canadian composers bringing their music to you…provided that you live in Canada. Concert listings etc.
- Another member of the “bad man makes good music” club – Al Capone. Apparently, he was quite the old sap and wrote his wife a love song from prison. It’s now a record.
- People are so weird sometimes. Although, to be honest, Miss Mussel uses website over blog wherever possible because in her mind it sounds less amateurish. Then again, any site that invokes the Apocalypse because it quoted that scary man with the round glasses is perhaps not wholly professional either.
- Jessica Duchen on Britain’s National Youth Orchestra.
- YouTube Symphony Roundup: Anthony Tommasini | Greg Sandow | Anne Midgette | Cafe Aman | Daily Telegraph | Wall Street Journal | CNN | LA TImes Blog | Bayerischer Rundfunk (auf Deutsch) | Bangkok Post | Video of concert
- And finally: opera+puppets=a thousand kinds of awesome
