Interesting that in PaperofRe-CORD.com are two oddly complementary stories next door to each other in the Arts listings: the first about the fading tradition of New York cabaret, the second of an astonishing project that has unearthed the sounds of nineteenth-century classical musicians. In any other ages these would be a sideshow, but that these are lead cultural stories says where our culture is. Pop music is dead, and classical music is nearly dead, and one may as well say I'm not feeling so well myself.
