Does anybody really enjoy this time of year? The holidays are, for the most part, over and resolutions are set to fall by the wayside in the near future. Leftover Christmas music sounds out of place. Granted, there's lots of non-Christmas winter music out there, but the demand for Jingle Bells drops pretty quick after December 25.
I miss wearing actual shoes. With the weather so lousy for the last month or so, I put on the boots when I leave the house. The other day I rediscovered three pairs of shoes I forgot I own.
I'm reading Lexicon of Musical Invective: Critical Assaults on Composers since Beethoven's Time. Quite interesting to see what critics thought at the time of what we consider to be classics. There's even an index of terms used (like "dog howling", "savage", "pretentious" and such).
