He’s the classical music critic for The New Yorker, and he’s giving a so-called “iPod talk” at the Cleveland Museum of Art on Friday, November 30th, at 6:30. It’s free, but you have to have a ticket. I’ve been reading his new book, The Rest is Noise, which is a history of music in the 20th century. It’s quite a book, and he is a brilliant writer.

Plus, he’s cute.
