Bill Wesley on microtonality
11/24/10, 08:13 The number of people who actually create interesting and engaging music with the various kinds of microtonal systems is extremely small. Much, much smaller than even the already small number of people who actually bother to give it conscious thought. But they do exist. This guy, in contrast, sounds like a moron trying to explain something technical in silly fashion, and his music doesn't impress me (but Ives', say, does).
Now, when it comes to pure tuning in particular (the ratios crap) - well, sorry to say it, but we DO actually listen to the overtones on the piano. Every single time there's a chord, in fact. Start to change the relationships between the notes played by pressin' the buttons, and you begin to get chords with radically different characters (and, not to get into the maths of it too much, but there's a hell of a lot more to it than the old medieval pythagorean system). So all of this, if it's to be any more than mathy masturbation, really should be about creating "grand new textures," and the best stuff in the style manages to do it. E.g., www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMHQV9_-TCI and www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn2CJmFrUmU are both fine examples of the breed. |

Blend Your Own Adventure
05/22/09, 00:07 Five stars for sadism. Incidentally, Jalapenos x Peanut Butter looks even worse than the VodkaBurger. He doesn't even make it to the second sip before it's off to the sink.
Also, don't forget the grand finale!! |

Mad Money - Jim Cramer goes off the deep end
03/10/09, 00:55 So the point is, it's a bad policy idea during a nosedive towards depression to punish companies and sectors which might produce growth? Yeah, well, I don't think I agree with that take on Obama's policy, but I guess maybe it's a reasonable worry.
So uh, why the fuck are you taking this out on the stuffed kitties? |

Anime characters covering London's Burning by The Clash
03/07/09, 12:25 The most amazing one, excepting maybe the ballad version of Anarchy in the UK, is the Offspring cover. Which is in the hopper as we speak. Really though, you need to hear the entire album. |

Ulysses 31 Intro auf Deutsch
02/08/09, 22:20 For those curious, I translate the lyrics:
O-o-o, O-o-dysseus!
Stellar dust in the galaxies.
Your trail
is the flight around the clock.
Ody-y-y-y-ysseus!
Your law is the justice.
Ody-y-y-y-ysseus!
You are the lord of time and space.
Ody-y-y-y-ysseus!
Only the Earth is still distant.
You fly and triumph
at your speed of light.
I am Nono, small robot, friend of Odysseus.
I am Nono, small robot, friend of Odysseus. |
