Yes, it was all atonal, but I think that word has nasty connotations which this particular music tends to explode. Or maybe not...Stuart? The nine-year olds were amazingly good-natured about the whole thing.

And thanks for commenting. Nothing like a blog on atonal music to not incite fervent debate.

On another topic, I came across this blog (friend of mine did actually)
http://www.popnarcotic.com and will recommend it for a quick perusal because (a) the guy writes pretty well about pop music (b) he has a top twenty list for 2005 a little ways down the page which discusses some unfamiliar but interesting sounding music, and most importantly (c) he rants on and on about Novillero (a current fave of mine), which he chose as his number one disk for the year.

The whole blog space concept, and the increasing availability of unsolicited opinions (and the credibility or lack of that can accrue to a good/bad writer of one) makes me return to a question I've raised intermittently in the past. Given the (impressive) talent we have in the CD Club, and the mix of preferences and areas of expertise that we collectively bring to the table within the realm of music (as well as Kyle and Derek's HTML/Java etc skills), why are we not banding together to create an e-presence of some sort (Pitchfork style) that allows us to pursue our passion for listening to and critiquing music in a more public forum. Eh?
