Microtonality in the news...

I discovered something recently. I've been using google's news aggragator

http://news.google.com/

to try and keep in touch with what is happening in the news, and I had
always taken it for granted that it picked certain kinds of news
events and grouped them together: world news, US news, sports,
science, etc.

A few days ago I realized that it is possible to "customize" the page
and to have it search for news items of your choice. I set up a page
of all the "broccoli" news for Ann, and a page based on "microtonal"
for myself. Two news items appeared instantly:

"Composer finds new notes at 80"
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20070305.BECKWITH05/TPStory/TPEntertainment/Music/

and

"Niblock wants audience to wander"
http://www.straight.com/article-73940/niblock-wants-audience-to-wander

Both contain the word microtonal and are in places that I would not
normally think to look!
