A couple of others include Stephen Paulus, René Clausen, Bob Chilcott, Osmo Vänskä. I am by no means an expert, and this isn't an exhaustive list, but these are some of the composers whose works I have sung or heard and very much appreciated.

Well fuck me. "You're an unlikeable, condescending person." "Try to be at least socially tactful" my ass.

Hate to break it to you, but there are plenty of churches that use music much better than this. The music here isn't terrible, but it's the kind of bland crap that only sounds great if you're not used to listening to great music. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just the game theme plugged into one of those 8x…

…except draining 38 million gallons of drinking water over a little bit of piss.

Is Dawes dead? Is Andrew Jackson Jihad the true deity of the AVClub?

Don't forget the fifth comment which proposes an elaborate justification why CBS should have hired Leno from the grave.

For what it's worth, from the EW piece (*apologizes*):

I want to like this, but everything I've seen from this YouTube channel has seemed like a played-out gimmick. I mean, the pianist (whose channel, I surmise, it is) seems to be good at aping styles, but most of the time the videos rely too heavily on hacky cliche symbolism and quirky costume choices that make me want…

What on earth brought you to Little Rock of all places? I'm not trying to call it a dump, it's just…tiny?

Well, crap. There goes my Simpsons cred.

Then what was it? While Iowa certainly has cows, that's really not what it's known for. Perhaps you should have tried that for Nebraska. For Iowa you would have been better to try "Porcine University". Which would have about the same unfortunate double meaning.

Right, but you really can't blame Iowa City for Steve King or the campaign to oust justices. That's from the west half of the state.

Um. Craig Pelton, obviously.

For a very specific experience, try wading through three or four movies written, directed, produced, or acted in by David A.R. White. His company is behind this movie (and, from the trailer, he shows up as the surprisingly long-chinned pastor) but he's made something of an ignoble career out of similarly-ridiculous…

I don't feel like reading this. Does it address how prevalent the not-as-popular themes are in songs written in each decade? Because that would seem to be a really important part of the analysis.

Are you trying to tell me that's not his name?

Wait, what Star Trek was he in?

And the article doesn't even present anything actually "new". It's a summary of a Metafilter post, itself about a week old(reasonable), and of which most of the information is cribbed from a 9-year-old blog post.

Other solutions include: not picturing anyone at all, because this is the narrator, who does not appear in the story.
