yamamanamaJuly 16's thoughts and various music:
Bardo Pond - Limerick
I checked this out due to a poll on atease. I like them.
Cocteau Twins - Kookaburra
Someone who I presume is in high school asked me if I knew some guy whom I also presume is in high school. Dude, I've been out of high school for five years now. I guess I look really young for my age.
Cocteau Twins - Great Spangled Fritillary
It's funny hearing a conversation in some Indian language, a conversation in some Asian language (there are ways to tell if someone's speaking Mandarin or not) and Liz singing about butterflies in a mix of nonsense and Greek/Latin scientific names.
The Magnetic Fields - California Girls
The passenger next to me made me think of a joke someone in my astrophysics class told a few years ago.
"What do you call a retarded physicist?"
"A chemist."
title unknown
Two guys were playing drums with things that were not intended for that use, nor ever dreamt about it. I think that it would be cool if there was an entire makeshift orchestra.
Lights Out Asia - Roy
from a conversation with the woman with a tree and spiral design tattooed on her back:
"The last time global warming happened on this kind of scale, 80% of all life on Earth perished. But how are we supposed to convince people of that when they don't even believe the Permian existed."
"I don't know," she said.
"People are just so oblivious. They're in their SUVs alone with the windows up."
"We need more people riding bikes."
"When cars become a luxury, we will. On the bright side, if oil was unlimited, we'd all be living in domed cities that protect us from the toxic wastelands outside."
Y'know, we've managed to live our lives before we were utterly dependent on oil.
We can manage.
Lights Out Asia - Four Square
From another conversation:
"They played something about whales last year."
"I remember the title. It was And God Created Great Whales. I don't remember the guy's name. I never do."
Lights Out Asia - Spiti Elefas
Eyes Like Brontide can't come soon enough.
lovesliescrushing - blooded and blossom blown
Ducklings are cute.
Gioachino Rossini - The Thieving Magpie
I know I've heard this before. Possibly in Looney Tunes?
Claude Debussy - Nocturnes: Nuages and Fête
Utterly gorgeous. Of course. It's Debussy.
Alexander Glazunov - Autumn
It certainly sounds autumnal. A lot of the stuff I listened to today sounds autumnal. I wonder if anyone's done a composition built around the Zodiac.
Bedrich Smetana - Moldau
Second musical discovery of the day. I've heard all the others before, though I've never heard Debussy's Nocturnes or Glazunov's autumn. Charles Ansbacher said the best was yet to come, but I think Debussy and Smetana were the highlights of the concert.
Leopold Mozart -
Rather whimsical.
Stephen Feigenbaum - Speak, Sing, Whale.
He was born in 1989. Admittedly, I didn't have the highest expectations for this, but I liked it. My only gripe is that it sounded too similar to the Hovhannes piece involving whales. He'll find his voice.
Handel - Water Music
I'm familiar with this already.
