A scene from Classical Music is Boring.
Regular readers may know that I’ve taken quite an interest in classical music blogs. Last year, I created a website called the Big List of Classical Music Blogs (here), in which I catalogued all the blogs on the topic that I could find on the internet. When I launched the BLCMB, it contained over 300 links. Now there are more than 550.
So, to make a long story short, I’ve seen a lot of blogs – big blogs, small blogs, good blogs, bad blogs. But I’ve never seen anything quite like the Classical Music is Boring blog, which was recently brought to my attention.

It’s run by Kevin Mendoza and Bob Kasenchak, a pair of academically inclined bloggers in the San Francisco area (I believe). It’s presented in comic-strip form, with captioned photos, and features a surreal cast of human and not-so-human characters talking about music. For a self-consciously blatant display of intellectualism it’s bouncing-off-the-walls crazy. Have a look (here), and you’ll see what I mean.
