"chronological order" = following the Lutheran church year?

Strange that just now there was peace and then suddenly it's war. The one followed the other as simply as Easter after Lent.

"I compared the Trump presidency to Nero's court. I was wrong. It's a court of miracles. An anti-vax ex heroin addict as Health Sec; a climate skeptic as Econ Sec; an alcoholic TV host as Def Sec; an ex Qatari agent as Attorney Gen; a Putin groupie as Homeland Security Sec."

Yes, those bags (showing the spines of a row of LPs) were very nice. The ESP LP I sold, along with most of the other vinyl I had ... Now have all that studio Quintet music in one ugly Columbia CD package.

GStK? Ah, then I agree! Makes even Flower of Scotland sound good.

Flower of Scotland is no more than a placeholder. When the nation becomes a state a better song will be found.

Feels as if Labour (= Labourism, which knows it is right and has all the answers) has to die first. Only then will a coalition of the hopeful become possible.

Still a few tickets left for his 4 hour epic ‘For Philip Guston’ in London this Sunday. I’ll be on my way from Scotland…

And the great Sheffield label

are making his music available and accessible like it’s never been.

Happy 100th Morty

"Waiter," he asked suddenly, "do you have real Guinness?"
"Sure", came the quiet answer.
"Bottled in Dublin? You're not joking?"

Reading with Jean-Luc Godard Godard’s use of books, of quoted text, of written and typographic words on signs, of titles and inter-titles, presents us with quite an extreme case.

It's not about historical accuracy (who knows what 16th-c players sounded like), more about singers/players trained in high-art conservatoires too faithfully following the notation – without the rhetorical ease / improvisatory spirit that later EM people have found. And I don't mean C Pluhar's work!

Copyright date is 1969. From the names of the musicians, this is likely to be the time of the recording. So, still the early days of the Early Music movement. In my ears, EM recordings from then sound *very* dated. It was only in the 1980s that such music began to be done convincingly (imho).
