[NewMusic] Weasel Walter in NY Times ...

[Tom Duff]

... sort of.

The coolest thing about the NY Times right now is their
New Music weblog, "The Score" (http://thescore.blogs.nytimes.com/)
with rotating daily items from Alvin Curran, Glenn Branca, Michael
Gordon and Annie Gosfield.  (Unfortunately, its behind the New York
Times Select paywall.  It works -- they got me to spring $50 or something
for a years worth.)

Anyway, Glenn Branca's column today, which lays into the NY Phil's woeful 
record on the matter off contemporary music, starts out with a photo of
the Philharmonic whose caption namechecks Weasel Walter:

   The New York Philharmonic, above, is world renowned, but not likely to
   play the music of Harry Partch or Weasel Walter. (Photo: Chris Lee/The
   New York Times)

And then it goes on to list a year's programming for a hypothetical New 
York 21st Century Philharmonic (124 concerts, 48 different programs, 150 
works, I wonder when Branca thinks they'd rehearse all that material), 
including:

   Sat. 3 [November], matinee
   21st Century Philharmonic Commissions

   STEVE MARTLAND new work
   JOHN MYERS new work
   WEASEL WALTER new work
   BRIAN BRIDGES new work
