This cool cartoonist kangaroo who is moving and needs money, so what better way to care about the arts than to buy some mildly/very gay bears on a shirt.

UNPOPULAR (but also esoteric) OPINION #1
Posted 12 years agoVincenzo Bellini is FAR MORE in need of an editor than Richard Wagner.
Suddenly I could really go for a Southern Comfort...
Posted 13 years agoI'm not exactly sure why...
Holy shit Leonard Bernstein, you beautiful motherfucker!
Posted 13 years agoIn 1973 Bernstein did a pretty amazing series of lectures for Harvard University. They're beautiful elementary lectures on music theory. Some of the things he says are a little off-kilter and don't quite work (like his definition of poetry in a later lecture), but as someone who knows FUCK ALL about musical theory, some shit here was mindblowing.
I've only watched the first three, but they're all really neat and informative. I'm gonna be watching the rest of them in the coming weeks-- and another friend of mine pointed me in the direction of EVEN MORE Bernstein lectures, these ones about opera, and aonther called "Why Beethoven?"!
On some level I never really got the imperative for a lot of musicians and composers to make sure music is as abstract and "intrinsically musical" as possible, as if outside reference was some form of sin. I KIND OF get it more now, but another question arose which is wondering if people who are really all about that aspect of music, pure-music, I wonder if they are also fans of abstract art-- pure colours, pure lines, pure composition. Bernstein seems like the type who would like Pollock or Newman and stuff. Gould probably more of a Lee Krasner type.
If you're not familiar with Bernstein outside of west side story, he was also a really accomplished conductor of classical music (His recording of Beethoven's 9th Symphony is my favourite one (suck it, Furtwangler)). Here's THE BEST recording of the piece that he named those lectures after, Charles Ives's "The Unanswered Question"
And also he wrote actual OPERAS not just musical theatre. One that's growing to be one of my favourites for how simple, human, and deceptively tragic it is, is a short he wrote in the 1950s called Trouble in Tahiti. It's about suburbia and marriage and "the real america" past the glitz and peroxide smiles of the time. It's all up on youtube in parts, but the production goes a little stock-footage happy. Performed well, sometimes questionable direction.
He later expanded it into a full length 3 act opera in the 1980s called A Quiet Place, where act 1 and 2 take place int he 1980s, and act 2 is an extended flashback into the 1950s. I NEED TO FIND A RECORDING OF IT.

Also pay attention about halfway through when he finishes at the halfway point-- about 2:15-- people call for an encore and he's all "d'aww shucks really? :#3~" and he is SO ADORABLE.

fuck you, computer I NEED HELP PLEASE
Posted 14 years agookay so
my computer fucked up for no reason
had to reinstall windows
but I still have all my old shit in "windows.old" folder
is there any way at all to restore the old programs and stuff without having to go and look up and reinstall everything brand new?...
DFHDFJSSFJJSSFHSFD
I had to spend hours trying to get this done. Couldn't start until 4PM because power went out at my house from 8AM. SDHGSDHSDHDS
Shit is working now and everything is still installed and run-able. Computer just doesn't recognize anything. I tried the "easy file transfer" thing but it turns out you need to have made a file for that beforehand
which I don't fucking have.
MAIN FUCKING QUESTION:
-do I have to manually reinstall everything to get it all running properly again?
-Or is there a quicker way to, like, get programs back into registry.

Posted 14 years agoGET THE FUCK OUT OF THE THEATRE, ASSHOLE
Posted 14 years agoWas watching an abstract/surreal film about colonialism in Haiti in a theatre
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flREy0YyFBA
And some late-middle-age dude and his wife wanted to sit in front of me where I had set my coat. I moved it nicely so they could sit there!
They then proceeded to talk through the whole thing! Awesome snippits include:
During several random scenes: "Booooooooooooooriiiiiiiiiiiiiiing"
During a silent exchange of looks: "He's gonna grab a knife!! I hope he grabs a knife, that'd be cool! Or a gun!!"
A few slow scenes, his only reaction was "why isn't anything happening?!"
One time the music got loud and had a dance beat so he did some exaggerated head-bobbing and hand gestures to the screen.
Eventually said "hey if you could at the very least only talk when the movie's loud enough to drown you out, that'd be AWESOME, please+thanks"
He then proceeded to continue talking throughout the whole film but at least at that point it was much quieter...
It was a double-feature, so after they got up I put my fucking jacket back where it was. >:C Thank christ they went and sat in the back for the second film. (which was Uncle Boonmee who can recall his past lives which was 100x better than Eat, For This Is My Body)
If they sat back there again and kept that up I probably would have strangled the dude.

Do you know what Just Intonation is? (because I can't fucking figure it out)
Well here is some very early ambient/minimalist-classical music (in Just Intonation)
Here is five hours of beautiful ambient/minimalist-classical music
in JUST INTONATION by a CRAZY BASTARD who also made COMPOSITIONS consisting entirely with FEEDING A PIANO HAY.
It takes over a month alone to tune a piano to play this!
What the fuck is going on and why does it sound so haunting
I want to see sheet music for this!!!

Holy shit Jackson Pollock, you beautiful motherfucker!
Posted 14 years agoA quote from filmmaker Stan Brakhage (with some abridging for ease of transcription):
"I had a brief electrifying moment with Jackson Pollock, my hero from highschool... Literally at the period when he was desperately trying to evolve and was well sunk in his alcoholism. So some colleagues took me out to his barn one day, when some critics were coming too to see what Life Magazine would eventually make famous as 'the cyclopean painting' in as much as Life Magazine could not see both eyes. But at any rate this misnomer of a painting was essentially finished and stuck on the walls of his barn. And Pollock was dead drunk with a quart of whiskey beside him, 2/3 down. And these New York painters,-- I was too shy to say anything, just watching-- they were, like, commenting, and they used the word 'chance operations'... which was no problem to me as I was hearing it regularly from John Cage and so forth. But this deeply really angered Pollock and he said 'don't give me any of your fucking chance operations... you see that doorknob?' and there was a doorknob about 50 feet from where he was sitting, which was in fact the door everyone would have to leave through, and drunk as he was, he just flipped one swirl of his brush, picked up a glob of paint, and hurled it, and hit that doorknob smack on with very little paint over the edges, 'and THAT'S the way out!'."

RandomOnlooker, you were the best musician I have personally known and one of the kindest most unpretentious and just HAPPY people I have ever met. I'm glad to have known you.
For a while now I've been kind of afraid of talking to people online, including R.O.. The last thing I said to him was linking him to an aria from Wagner's Rheingold (Alberich's "Bin Ich Nun Frei?"), as conducted by Pierre Boulez as he couldn't really believe that that would be anything more than strange. I hope he enjoyed that, or something. thdfhdhdjkl.
I barely knew him and I am sad as all get out now. I am sorry for his girlfriend's loss and for the loss of his close friends who he seems to have cajoled into furriness.
If Plato's idea of the afterlife is correct, I hope you're playing the Ideal-Lute right now.
Live on in the sounds you've made and people you've touched.
Riposa in Pace.
