I was reading Pitch­fork today and saw a great big banner ad for the always-insight­ful Alex Ross’s new book, The Rest is Noise. I can’t remember the last time I saw an ad for any book, much less a gigantic tome about 20^th-century music. I guess Pitch­fork knows its target demo­graphic, and I am it. (I don’t have a copy yet, but I’m looking forward to it.)
