Up and running for a few weeks now, The Cereal List blog/website attempts to goose the arse of the always-just-a-little-too-sacrosanct classical music world. Run by the shadowy “Milton Blabber”, “Randall Scandall” and “Miss Information”, the blog’s posts have their share of flats mixed with a few good sharps. Though some jabs have veered just this side of awful or even libel, when they get it right, with such gems as “Generate a New York Times Review of your Work“, they’re pretty spot on. My current fave though, has to be “How to Design a Classical Music CD Cover”:

Whoever they may be, and as low as they may occasionally go, it’s obvious that these are people who are definitely active in “the scene” and know their target intimately. It may not be the first place I’m going to check each morning, but I don’t see much wrong with trying to knock a few bricks off the Temple of Art.
Why am I just now hearing about this site? Anyway, from reading through it, looks like quite a bit more hits than misses. I know I’ll be checking in on “hump” days religiously. 😉
Check out some more great CD covers below …

Yes, exactly what we’ve tried to avoid for so many years.
