DYFL?
Hi! I'm Chris. I am 29, I am gay, I live in New York City, I'm an associate editor at DC Comics, and I've a sneaking fondness for dinosaurs, pop music, and intriguing sea life.
If you like, you can follow me on Twitter, observe my music habits on Last.fm, or stalk me on Facebook (though I barely use it).

Exciting news for fans of Alex Ross (and music): The Rest Is Noise Festival. Headed up by the Southbank Centre in the UK, this year-long celebration of contemporary and classical music begins in 2013:
“The festival will be divided into 12 chronological themes, from The Big Bang: A New Century, a New World in January to New World Order: No More Rules in December; other themes include Berlin in the 20s and 60s Weekend: the West Does Revolution. It will be accompanied by a TV series on BBC4.
“Speaking at the launch of the Southbank Centre’s 2012/13 classical music season, director Jude Kelly said the festival was initially conceived four years ago, when she read a proof copy of Ross’s book, which was published in 2007. Kelly said the festival would take in several art forms and aim to involve audiences ‘hostile to 20th-century music’ while giving those already highly committed to it ‘another route in’.”
Oh man, I wish I could go to this. I know next-to-nothing about classical music but THE REST IS NOISE was a great reading experience nonetheless, and this seems like a fantastic way to experience all that work I’ve only read about.
