Friday night we stopped by DNA for Laura Peterson’s “Electrolux,” reviewed in The Times by Gia Kourlas. Our very own RT will actually be reviewing this for The Brooklyn Rail, so all we can say now is, it was def worth checking out. Saturday afternoon we hit the replay of the Met’s simulcast of Peter [...]
DEBORAH JOWITT FIRED FROM THE VILLAGE VOICE
W…T…F… News came out like, Wednesday? Was anybody going to tell me?!!!!?!?!? (Danciti is also posting about it) UPDATE: Gawker’s Nick Denton was on this shit even before Zimmer. Although, it might intrigue us all to know that he thinks “dance is increasingly irrelevant, culturally.” Anyone car to comment? Incidentally, if you click the “Deborah [...]
C.C. Goes Commercial
C.C. fanatic and all around ferosh-tranny-mess-at-large, Michael Hart, made this little commercial spot for Counter Critic. I’m thinking we could definitely go for a Super Bowl spot…
Don’t Need No Hateration
Here’s more evidence of the campaign to oust atonality from the concert music scene. Bernard Holland reviews a concert of new piano music at Greenwich House. He writes: …something seemed to be whispering in my ear that the Dark Ages of postwar atonality were over and tentative reconnections to the past were under way. To [...]
“In the year two thouSUUUUUHND….”
Definitely check out this article in The Times. With audio recording technology progressing at warp speed, it’s hard to imagine that just 150 years ago, it seemed unthinkable to be able to record sound and hear it played back.

A Collision Course With Tristan
Opera Review: “Tristan und Isolde” @ The Met The Met’s latest mounting of Dieter Dorn’s 1999 production of “Tristan und Isolde,” Wagner’s insanely genius love-death opera retelling an ancient Celtic myth of star-crossed lovers via some of the most gorgeous—and I mean gorgeous—music ever written for the theater, has met an unusually gratuitous series of [...]
THIS JUST HAPPENED
The road to erotic transcendence is a slippery slope. C.C.’s reporting at 1:31AM because girl just got back from The Met’s rockin’-n-rollin’ production of “Tristan und Isolde”–which has already been beleaguered by a series of casting issues–and yet another stroke of bad luck befell the love-sick opera. Just into the third act, what was meant [...]

Ro.’s piece on DTW’s new initiative to re-stage modern dance pieces that usually get the one-off… Apollinaire Scherr’s state-of-The-Times address on her Arts Journal blog… And some hot new music technology (via TheRestIsNoise) destined to help the latest crop of pop stars sound like they can actually sing…
