Lukewarm Thursday Linkage

January 29th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in music

Holy crap, It’s thursday already?

These get the lukewarm moniker because a) it’s really friggin icy outside today, and b) I’m breaking the rule of three.

  • Remember that huge-ass piano from Big? Well it is moving from some rich guys music room into the Philadelphia Please Touch Museum, which I assume means that you get to stomp Chopsticks out all over it.
  • Cellists, your crotches are safe. For now. A very famous UK doctor (who I’ve never heard of) admitted to making up the condition of “Cellist’s Crotch” and submitting a letter about it to the BMJ, in which it was published. She said she did it in response to a previous letter describing “Guitarist’s Nipple”.

Oh, hang about, there was another link. Yay three!

  • The most expensive concerts of 2008 – non-classical concerts, that is. Anybody fancy comparing the genres? “Orchestra Premium” seats for the Ring Cycle at the metropolitan opera: $2200. (yeah yeah, four concerts, I know)
