A sharp and funny appreciation of Thomas Adès by Tears of a Clownsilly, the composer-blogger who created the already legendary Which Major Work of Alban Berg Are You? quiz. He relates that when he returned an Adès CD to the library he said to the librarian "This guy knows what he's doing" — inadvertently pointing not at the CD but at a copy of Paul Reiser's Babyhood. A confirmed eclectic, he also speaks in praise of Guided By Voices, bemoans the psychoanalyzing of Benjamin Britten, and writes an ode to New Jersey Guidos.
