		<title>Ruckus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an awful lot of fuss being made today about Alan Gilbert&#8217;s confrontation with a NY Phil patron whose cell phone went off during the final measures of Mahler&#8217;s 9th Symphony last night.  The errant twitwit aside, internet response seems to be squarely on the maestro&#8217;s side, and I concur.  I think he handled splendidly.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>New year, new piece, raising money, sexy v. non-sexy projects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First off, if anybody would do even an iota of research on this Mayan calendar thing, they would quickly realize that there&#8217;s no apocryphal prophecy associated with it.  And where better to go for an iota of research than Wikipedia?  December 21, 2012 is basically just like a new Mayan millennium.  Granted, it would be [...]]]></description>

		<title>List of Acceptable Christmas Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll probably submit this to Wikipedia. 1. Sufjan Stevens, Songs for Christmas I don&#8217;t think we give Sufjan nearly enough credit in general, but certainly we should all be bowing down on our knees when December 25 comes around.  Simply put: Sufjan saved Christmas music.  All of it.  All of the familiar carols and songs, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Accept No Imposters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just want to clear up any understandable confusion that may have arisen over the following video: Though lyrically I may be &#8220;untouchable&#8221; and &#8220;uncrushable&#8221;, and though I do fancy myself quite the &#8220;dapper chap&#8221;, I fear to say that &#8220;ho-slapper&#8221; is NOT in my job description.  Alas folks, the author of this video is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Double Bills</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the next step in my online conversation with Eric Benson of Inverted Garden, wherein we discuss taste, society and music from our relative perspectives as jazz and classical icons of the digital age.  Eric&#8217;s posts are here. Mine are here. Once upon a time, when Eric and I were both college students in [...]]]></description>

		<title>My hair is also layed like donation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE, Nov. 11, 10:00 am: With 38 hours to go, this project is 75% funded(!), but I still have $1,000 to raise(!!!)  The way Kickstarter works is that if you don&#8217;t reach your goal, you don&#8217;t get any of the money. Help a composer out? Much like Funky Dineva, my hair is layed like Donation. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sharpsichord</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Björk just released the album credits for Biophilia, her latest album, on her web site.  As I postulated in my post about the new work, Björk was indeed the impetus behind all the musical elements on this album, having written the brass, choir, and organ arrangements herself, and having done the lion&#8217;s share of the [...]]]></description>
