After Sunday’s posting about my non-viewing of the Academy Awards (and judging by the low-ratings scorecard, I had plenty of company!), once I got to the concert I realized/remembered three more factoids that made the whole music – movies link with Jian Wang even more even more apropos:
*It could be argured that Jian owes [...]

When I first wrote about the George/Globe/’GMS-gone-down-the-pubradio-block events I mused that “DC Radio was about to get a lot more interesting.” True that…the latest Washington ratings (for Winter 2007) had a Spanish-language station (“El Zol,” formerly the legendary alternative pioneer WHFS) at the top of the heap; we’ve got the corporate “greenternaltive” of [...]

il Divo: the future of classical music?
From Slate comes an article about the surprising sales of Classical Music recordings in the last year. The lede is attention-getting:
“Is classical music—a genre that has spent a seeming eternity on the commercial skids—staging a comeback? That’s the buzz on Nielsen SoundScan’s 2006 report card, which listed classical [...]

All right, it was a big deal to me, but not many other folks paid much attention to the news that I wrote about on Day One – Bonneville’s “Yankee Swop” of its frequencies with Entercom, meaning a likely sayonara for classically-formatted KDFC in San Francisco. Sure enough, the other shoe dropped today [...]

The same winds of change are blowing across the classical-music landscape at the CBC. Witness today’s announcement about the program changes in their classical channel, CBC Radio Two. I’ll have more to say about this a little later, after I get back from participating in tomorrow’s Panel Discussion at the Arts Presenters [...]

Yet one more blogstar (okay, supporting cast?) to join the billions and billions twinkling away in the firmament.
