The End of New Music Part III: The Curse of the Son of New Music's Ghost

Fun FSZ updates! In addition to the usual internet-style craziness, comments over on the Sequenza 21 post also include some interesting remarks from Steve Smith, author of the aforementioned Times piece, and on his own blog, Judd Greenstein offers some clarifications of his own. I'm also glad to see him back away from some of his, in his words, "absurdly hard-line" comments on musical modernism. In completely unrelated news, M. C- at The Standing Room announces here that he has finally discovered the greatest musician of all time. But to my horror, he has willfully neglected one of my very favorite Prince records. Ladies and gentlemen:

That is all.

The End of New Music: The Movie

I'm totally going to write something about the whole Free Speech Zone deal (as seen in the New York Times) and post it up here, since I wrote a thing about the tour when it came to my town and then it mysteriously failed to show up in the paper. But it'll be long, so hang on for a minute. EIGHT DAYS LATER Okay here it is.
