(In no particular order)
Duke Fightmaster - a contemporary genius, and source of inspiration.
Elaine Fine's Musical Assumptions - our favorite other music and life blog. "Music is a mystery for people who play it, write it, listen to it, and write about it."
E-Notes - Ethelbert Miller's blog. What would we do without Ethelbert? He is the glue that holds Washington together.
Wimp.com - funny videos, mostly animals.
Zippy - Our favorite comic.
Madam Mayo - A high class literary blog, in several worlds.
Burro Hall - Very cool blog, courtesy of Madam Mayo. Actually it's mostly completely appalling, but very very funny.
Karren Alenier's Scene4 Blog "The Dressing". Her take on things is not mainstream. Washington's direct line to the Gertrude Stein salon.
The IMSLP/Petrucci Library of public domain scores - a virtual library containing all public domain music, as well as music from composers who are willing to share their work with the world without charge. Includes many manuscripts and first editions, as well as performing editions. Yes, now you can download virtually the entire history of classical music as pdf files! (And it is not limited to the tired old standards you hear repeated ad nauseam on "classical" radio).
Classic Cat is a catalog of free classical music downloads, including Washington Musica Viva's.
