...is beeker's new blog about classical music. I'm joining her there, so maybe it's even our new blog. Anyhow, feel free to pop by. No prior experience required.
And I promise there won't be any 'classical music is slow and beautiful'-thing going on. Just a place for people who'd like to know more about great music to meet, listen, discuss. And if someone knows a bit that might help people out, sharing is encouraged.
On that note: just after doing this rant on how it's a shame to always introduce people to classical music by playing all the slow melodies that are used in boring tv ads, I found this video of comedian Rob Paravonian ripping the dreaded "Pachelbel's Canon in D" (a classical mainstay to the point that an old cello-teacher of mine used to crack "...composer unknown").
I'm very excited about the new blog you're doing with Beeker - it's a fabulous idea!

yeah thanks, I'm excited about the idea as well. Now we only have to think of something to post. It's a horribly convenient excuse for procrastination.
