Dang. Dang. Dang. I wish I'd have thought of that IPEX piece. Dang. Rob of UnSpace

Regarding 'A few wrinkles in the world's most advanced bra' on slate.com , I'm surprised that you didn't at least have some guy come up with a lifehack for it. We'd definitely figure out a way to remotely disengage the bra whenever we saw fit, which is pretty much 24/7.

Chris, Not sure when you posted this, as I haven't checked the discussion page for a while (sorry). Please use the "e-mail the author" link on the lower left of the page and I'll get back to you. Best, E

I have been re-reading "the Recording Angel" again and decided to read some of it aloud to my "listening group". We are a group of middle aged male friends here in Cape Town, South Africa,who get together every couple of months ( no set routine) and play tracks from recent discoveries ( or old rediscoveries as in my case since I enjoy a lot of classical music and they are mostly folk and jazz enthusiasts )to one another. share the bit about Debussy and the dilutive effect "owning" "music ghosts" can have. I am very curious to read your new chapter: I was given your book to review for a poetry magazine the year it came out and it was one of the memorably rewarding experiences of my life because it could have been quite a n academic book but you made it so lively and diverting. I would be delighted to share that additional chapter with my friends if you cab tell me how I might access it.Also any other of your more recent writings about music. By the way I am a music therapist also working in a south African Playback Theatre company called the Bonfire Theatre Company. Would love to hear from you. Chris Wildman

Bradley - Sorry I didn't see your message sooner. If you're reading this, you've probably noticed the link to the People Fooled chart on the left side of the page. Please send the link to my wife. Thanks, E

Evan I was amazed by your Chart on People Fooled. Could I have a link or a copy of that so I can send around to other people to prove to them how smart you are! Bradley Rotter brotter@gmail.com

dear sir dinnerstein's goldberg's with their scandalous but delectable copinisms are certainly listenable - but how could you write a piece like that and not mention angela hewitt? mental, baby damian lanigan

I just read your review of Simone Dinnerstein's new recordings of the Golberg Variations. What you fail to mention is that in his later years Gould hated his 1955 version of the Goldberg Variations. He described them as "okay if you like that sort of thing". His 1981 recording of them sounds completely different; much cleaner and less obviously emotional and in my minority opinion much better.

Evan, Just read your piece about the Goldbergs on Slate. I appreciate the notice of Dinnerstein. I must ask you, though: what do you think of Andrew Rangell? His Bach completely reinvigorated my imagination about what can be done with Bach. David

David: As I recall, COEJL asked me to write a poem or prayer for Tu B'Shvat. And yes, I was inspired by the morning blessings... E

I like your poem the Morning Blessings of the Trees. How did you come to think about this poem. Were you inspired during morning prayers blessings , the Brachot. Or what? Its a very appropriate poem for today - Tu B'Shvat David
