Wednesday Links
Peering above the parapet briefly to throw out these items of interest.
- Sooooo….what exactly are orchestras supposed to be do? The times, they are a-changing.
- After their brief but very public faux-pas last week, The Royal Opera House legal department has a decided to jump right into the copyright bog and insist that they have total rights control over all aspects of new productions. To Miss Mussel, the real surprise is that most the contracts weren’t work-for-hire already.
- Literally what it means when you say literally. For reals.
- Can a gift ever be no-strings attached. Probably not.
- Oh, you meant yoooour left. Oops. Turns out the Titanic crash was down to a panicked misunderstanding of instructions.
- One of the last ballpark organists, Nancy Faust is packing it in after 41 years with the Whitesox.
- Reason No. 47 why the Vancouver Opera is in the black for the 11th straight season.
- One of Miss Mussel’s favourite websites, Letters of Note is a year old.…huzzah!
Finally, if your iTunes is whinging that everything seems a bit samey, what with all the orchestra and stuff, treat it to some Mumf.
Behold, Miss Mussel’s new favourite band Mumford & Sons. Banjo! And also a swear in the chorus! Maybe listen with headphones at work!
