Vuvuzelas. Believe me enough has been said about the World Cup and their impact already. I think it's time someone stood up for sense in the music world which seems to be regarding this plastic horn as a banner of minimalism in music.
Minimalism as a manner of orchestration cannot be used in conjunction with the vuvuzela for one main reason: it's stupid. And people talking about it in any sort of serious manner sound like arrogant music snobs.
It's a horn and it's really annoying. Making concertos to the sound of Bb doesn't impress anyone. It gets laughed at. That is all.
