The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve. Lovers, to bed; 'tis almost fairy time.
Berce mollement sur ton sein sublime
Ô puissante mer, l’enfant de Dindyme!

On blogging and the blogosphere:
I also wonder how much this has to do with all the above concerns and conundrums.
ReplyDeleteOH LORD YES.
ReplyDeleteI noted last year that part of the problem is We Can't Keep Up. Here's the Big List of Classical Music Blogs showing why.
Oh dear. That's frightening!
ReplyDeleteI read a pretty good % of the "Independents" in that list, but some I've fallen off with, such as Soho the Dog in Boston or those crazy Wellsung kids, simply because he/they post so rarely now. I suppose I could finally join the 20th century and get in to RSS feeds but oh well.
ReplyDeletePlus, to be blunt, if someone's main interest is, say, baroque opera, I don't care if their writing is excellent, I simply won't be interested.
Uh, yeah, I recommend RSS readers, for sure. I could not keep up without Google Rea....er, Feedly.
ReplyDeleteNothin' wrong with reading what you care about and skipping the rest.
