http://acappellanation.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
The A Cappella Cookbook. Saturday, June 15, 2013. A New, Old Whiffenpoof. The Founding of The Society of Orpheus and Bacchus. So, when was it, 1938, 1939 or 1940? A Brief History of Yale A Cappella Singing. The Whiffenpoofs of 1909. Well, it turns out their names were bestowed on them by the Glee Club director, Marshall Bartholomew. Apparently, he thought the notion of Orpheus and Bacchus was a pretty cool thing. It's not too likely these pickup quartets were terribly prominent. Maybe they sang on th...

Acalosophy: February 2011
http://acalosophy.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
A journey to understand the vocal technique and philosophy of contemporary a cappella. Sunday, February 27, 2011.

Why does it say a lot? Because it doesn't happen very often. Generally- Guys, stop being slobs and if you can't seem to dress yourself, ask a girl. or a metrosexual. Ladies, THIS IS NOT THE CLUB! Also, la...

Acalosophy: Where has all the singing gone?
http://acalosophy.blogspot.com/2011/02/where-has-all-singing-gone.html
A journey to understand the vocal technique and philosophy of contemporary a cappella. Sunday, February 13, 2011. Where has all the singing gone? Alright, this is the first time all weekend I've been able to sit down with a stable internet connection and I can admit that the topic I was going to write on has changed approximately 4307927972 times. But after watching last night's Varsity Vocals ICCA Northeast Quarterfinal #2, it came to me. Where has all the singing gone? What I'm trying to say is, why.

5th Judge: April 2011
http://www.5thjudge.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
A critique of The Sing Off. And other random instances of singing on television, from a musical and performance point of view. Wednesday, April 20, 2011. The Today Show, Apr. 19: The Warblers (of Glee). So "The Dalton Academy Warblers" (quotation marks intentional), the fictional prep-school a-cappella group on Glee. Made appearances on NBC's Today. Show yesterday. I will not go into all of the many reasons I dislike Glee. But amongst the few things I do. Or in the competition portions of The Sing-Off.
