aworks :: "new" american classical music

aworks list :: feeds of the month

I've changed how I organize my reed reading in Bloglines. As a side effect, it's now easy for me to recognize those that were particularly good reads last month. Here's some notable feeds for April:

• bloglines search "john adams" music
• bloglines search "timbre"
• Civic Center
• the concert
• Dial "M" for Musicology
• Iron Tongue of Midnight
• Last.fm Recent Tracks + Youtube : Last.fm meets YouTube (try it with your favorite last.fm user; I'm eastmp)
  
• Leonard Link
• Renewable Music
• Roger Bourland

It's interesting that some of the blogs cover more traditional classical music than I normally listen to yet I found them so interesting. On the other hand, it's admittedly odd to read every blog mention of the word "timbre". But someone has to do it...
