- “Why deface a book? If you don’t like what’s in it, shut it and bring it back,” Small town librarian fights the good fight in Tennessee. Make sure you watch the video. The newscasters are almost more entertaining that the story.
- Looking to book the next bright young things in your town? Check it: Ten young Norwegian women playing brass instruments. (thanks to Elaine Fine for the original link)
- More people whinging in the comments that the arts are a waste of money. Post also features copy about a proposed new Culture Days scheme by the Canadian Government.
- Sliced bread vs The Drifters Christmas album. Miss Mussel knows what she would choose.
- This just in: Contrary to thousands of previous performances, it appears that Paganini Caprices can actually be played musically. What will his next miracle be?
- SCHNITTKEPALOOZA [more properly known as Schnittke: Between Two Worlds] in London courtesy of the LPO and Vladimir Jurowski. There’s going to be concerts, a film screening, opera and a study day. Be still my beating heart.
