- Jan Herman: More Than One Way to Bang That Can – Postscript: “Look at these photos,” a friend writes, “and think of a bunch of dipshits making music with coffee grinders or Volan’s arty little piece appropriating South African tunes to make another of the limp-spined Left’s innocuous, feel-good, PC statements (and written about 30 years ago which makes its status as new music rather questionable). Beehive music is a good term for Bang on a Can. It’s a collective of yuppie drones and worker bees legitimizing blinkered Honkiness with cute Kultur.”

- In Praise of the Amateur (Part Two) Anne Midgette washingtonpost.com – great quote from washington post music critic anne midgette “I happen to think that tough love is especially important now. For one thing, because loving the music means caring enough to hear it done right, not just to hear it done adequately; and caring enough to have opinions about the way it is done. I remember an anecdote about Lukas Foss touring Germany with the Milwaukee Symphony and receiving, at the end of a Beethoven symphony, a chorus of boos. Backstage, Foss said, “At last, someone understands my music!” What he meant, even jokingly, is that he had chosen an interpretation, and they had heard that, and hadn’t liked it, and let him know. In a way that’s preferable to lukewarm, polite, non-comprehending applause. “
