I recently stumbled upon two funny and interesting links that I had to share:

1. Hipster Composers

This post by Evan Kuchar on chicagonow.com asks the age-old question:  Which composers were hipsters and which were nerds?  If you ever wanted to know CLICK HERE and all your questions will be answered.  (Unless it was about Beethoven or Crumb evidently…)  *sidenote*  I seem to dig the hipster composers more – what does that say about me?

2. Wind Band Composers BRACKET

It’s March Madness, and you know what that means…Time to arbitrarily pit wind band composers against one another in an internet popularity contest devoid of any consideration towards the quality of their compositions.  Sure, some should survive the carnage relatively unscathed, and there are some who will survive that should be “scathed” (?).  Either way, kind of a funny exercise…  CLICK HERE to go to the voting – you might have to find the most recent post in order to vote.  (And if you are a super nerd, go here to fill out your own bracket to compare!)
