If you haven’t seen Gabriel Kahane perform his modern classic “Craigslist Lieder” before, this is a great little video. The Awl also recently posted a great article by Jaime Green titled “How Are We To Listen To Contemporary Classical Music?” which is worth a read. - Wesley

She graduated from Linfield in 1941 and married classmate Homer Groening, whom she chose because he made her laugh the most.
We’re excited to let you guys know that after several years with Family our very own bear-wearing Lauren is striking out on her own! She will manage Contrakids, a group she A&R-ed for Family, as well as the lovely and talented Lightyear. She’ll also be on the road with fellow Brit Ellie Goulding and engaged in several other music centric activities.
