On The Job Board: Have a Job? Want One? Inquire Within!
Hire me in NYC. Based on actual experience, I can; write excellent criticism of culture, especially music, manage an IT infrastructure, design and build information architecture, write readable and informative technical documents, analyze fixed income securities (including CDOs), develop audio and media tools and produce music via DAWs. I can do more, too. Would like a job with a baby on the way.

I am completely behind you on this, and nicely argued too. I have a different perspective on one point, tough, that classical music is out of touch in dealing with the media; I concur on the situation, but I think it's the media that is out of touch with classical music. Frankel's article, and Woolfe frankly surprising attitude, show that the media is stuck in imagined clichés about classical music. Essentially, they see it as stiff and dead, and anything that either responds to contemporary times or demonstrates that the subject is real humanity has to be strenuously argued against. While I perversely admire the energy it takes to argue against the obvious, it's a waste of human capability.
