Today? Today only? Oh no. No ... mm mmmmm -- no. you see, Gentle
Reader, this is a good question to ask of me, your accomodatingly
friendly user/pal, 'azremars'.
I seize upon the behemoth Richard Wagner along the redoubt of mornings.
During afternoons I exercise my powers of audtition with, expose my mind
and emotions to the textual poetry (all poets wish to be composers, ask
one!) within a Michael Tippett opera. The evenings? -- yes, mmmmMM, you
would ask about that about ... the dark oddly fey evenings ... mmmm...
WELL THEN! -- HEAR the answer!! Alban Berg! ALban Berg! Alban Berg!!!
"Wozzeck" -- "Lulu" -- all of it! ALL--all--all.. .. .. .. Oh! alllll...
If you wish to vote on *The Opera* issue; and you have that much nerve,
plz see my poll at http://www.gobi-igloo.com/candelabra_barricade/
--if you would, kindly, /*gnarly*->/ "I'm too shrrrr".
Nota Bene: admin. If this post is untoward per TOS/AUP -- pull it, just
pull it down! But we request that you continue your largesse and allow
our super appreciated shell account to abide. Thank you now. Hey: Let's
see some more --and some more lively-- posting here, if you would,
people. Friendly-User/Shell-Pal 'AZ'

I've been listening to lots of classical music on CBC radio, since I've
been driving the car with the better radio reception this week. Notable
on the drive home: a piano and violin setting of William Bolcom's
"Graceful Ghost" rag, by violinist Gil Shaham and pianist Jonathan
Feldman.

That is a beautiful rag. Nothing is what you expect, not the next note,
not the beat. It's all just a little "off" and perfect at the same time.

Spi & La Guadriole; I can't recall the name of the CD but it's the
only one they have released. Some aging French punk rockers turn
to hurdy-gurdy-based French folk music. Rather fun.

OK, hereŐs the deal. Every time I log into this item lately, my answer is
the same: Betty Blowtorch. This fairly obscure all-female punk/metal band
is the subject of the documentary "Betty Blowtorch and Her Amazing
Real-Life Adventures." From the LA area, Hollywood couldnŐt have written a
better story, including the tragic ending that came during filming. This
movie has won a number of indy awards, and was recently named by one mag
as best documentary of the year.
I realize BB is probably too hardcore for the delicate sensibilities of
your average grexer, but for anyone who wants to know what rock and roll
is all about, this movie has it all: rising from the ashes of another
band, the business side, the recording side, the touring side, the sex,
the drugs, and the back-stabbing side. Throw in a horrific personal
backstory and this is a movie where art pales in comparison to life. I
will recommend anyone who thinks they want to be a serious rock and roller
see this movie first. Unlike most movies, you really will laugh and cry.
As an aside, the song Love/Hate has to be one of the most perfect songs
about broken marriage ever written (the video is damn good, too). This is
basic rock (essentially, IggyŐs "The Passenger" chords played twice as
fast) at its finest. A song that starts "This songŐs a little love song
and I gotta tell you, I havenŐt had the best luck with men in life. My car
broke down, my husbandŐs smoking crack and I donŐt know where he is."
sounds like the intro to a country song, but this ROCKS. The chorus ends
with "I love you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate love." What else is there
to say?
Oh yeah: GET THIS DVD NOW! (but donŐt blame me if you find yourself
playing Love/Hate over and over and over and over . . . )
