Return of the Blog
Hi there. Is that new, what you’re wearing? Well it certainly looks new. Maybe it’s your hair. You know what? It feels like I haven’t seen you in months! Oh, right.
It’s true. We here at the Guidonian Hand offices took some time off. Summer came and went. We went to Tahiti but have now returned as fresh as ever. Look forward to more insightful writings about music, art, school, technology, design, and whatever else strikes our collective fancy. We’ll get back to Wandering in the Wilderness and Better Knowing Sequenzas in short order.
Oh, and just because you’re you. We got you a little something. Here you go:

This is another really cool blog by a really cool person. Lauron Kehrer is a friend of ours who is in the beginning stages of research for what will be her masters thesis in musicology at the Eastman School of Music. She’s sharing her experiences here at Queer Identity in Popular Music. This kind of research is a lengthy process, and it seems that Lauron’s topic is still a bit nebulous. In a way, this is one of the cool things about the blog, though. The focus of the blog isn’t just presenting her research, but following her work itself. Basically, it combines the non-stop action of musicology with the thrill and excitement of reading! Ok, so that doesn’t sound very cool, but Lauron’s blog is. Trust me, you’ll like it.

Since all of us here at the Guidonian Hand offices are in end-of-semester-panic mode in grad school, we haven’t had much time to write on the blog. We direct you elsewhere for thoughtful consideration of the arts. Consider it a scenic little detour. You’ll be back at the Guidonian Hand before you know it.
There are so many great blogs out there about music and the arts that it’s hard to keep track of all of them. One of the most interesting and well-written is by composer Kyle Gann (no, not the guy from Tenacious D). It’s called PostClassic. He always has enlightening things to say about music today. It’s written simply enough for anyone, but it’s always clear that he knows what he’s talking about, from analysis to performance to academia. I can’t honestly say that I read this blog daily, but I do try to read it at least once a week.
Tuesday’s post was particularly excellent, so I wanted to share it with you here. It’s about how composers talk about their own music. Read and enjoy “What Composers Talk About” on PostClassic.
