Musikkanmeldelse : Beyoncé "Beyoncé"

Dette kunne vært en klein unnskyldning for å poste et bilde av Beyoncé her, men det er selvsagt ikke det det handler om. Heller ikke er det min egen anmeldelse av plata hennes, men den unge komponisten Nico Muhly sin veldig godt skrevne anmeldelse. Bare begynnelsen er egentlig nok:

My current theory is that the Noises are generated when a critical mass of gays text one another at the same time. The first time, it was when Michael Jackson died and I was in a fever-dream in St. Petersburg, Russia, having just interviewed the homeless-looking and possibly insane conductor Valery Gergiev. The second time, it was when Whitney died, and I was absurdly having gnocchi with certain friends and then other friends rang and we had to pull the whole evening over “to be together in this time of need.” The third time, it was when I got off a plane last week in Rome, and I thought to myself, “Girl, not Janet, not tonight.” It was a false alarm: it was just that English diver announcing that he was fuxing a man.
