hey guess who my new crotchety cranky old white guy music crush is

you're wrong, it's Charles Wuorinen

he writes overly intellectual, needlessly complex, emotionless works that really swing and resonate with me 

also the very first notes of "Six Pieces: III" make me think I'm listening to "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" and when was the last a modern classical piece did that?

That said, "Time's Encomium" is kind of undercooked and barely edible. 

e: but the percussion symphony is just extra neato!
