GravatarIn Chicago, on November 3, 2006, Malachi Ritscher doused himself with gasoline and set himself on fire by the highway during morning rush hour, to protest the ongoing and immoral war in Iraq. Media coverage has been scant, but the word is spreading.

GravatarEvening, freethinkers

Everyone ready to shake off this year and try a new one?


GravatarHi Plum!

I could have stopped you at 2nd but I'm a gentleman and all.


GravatarFUCK BUSH


GravatarI am called the spoiler for a reason.


Now, that Times Select thing is really, really bad.

I refuse to pay, so Kristof goes unread.

Not a bad thing, I can assure you.

Not yet, I have a big bash tomorrow, which some people here have refused to attend, and as such, will miss out on.


GravatarIn the spirit of the New Year, allow me to fantasize that George W. Bush Jr. has magically transformed into some sort of noble stateman, instead of being the anti-Constitutional war-mongering crap-flinging chimp that he is, ever was, and ever shall be.

Also let me write a polite letter requesting that North Korea's Kim Jong Il voluntarily relinquish power and open up North Korea into a thriving and well-run democracy.


GravatarAmy Poehler doing a great Nancy Grace spoof!


GravatarCount me in, David - in spirit, at least.


Gravatar1watt is a moron.

Also, the Brits are adopting the US model of awarding incompetence:

John Scarlett, who took responsibility for the error-ridden dossier that justified the war in Iraq, is knighted in today's New Year's Honours list. The award will enrage peace campaigners, who have accused the veteran spymaster of saving Tony Blair's skin over the flawed case for the invasion.


GravatarI'm off to bed y'all.

GravatarAnybody else see this blowhard, one Anthony M. Stevens-Arroyo is Professor of Puerto Rican and Latino Studies at Brooklyn College and Distinguished Scholar of the City University of New York, writing in the Washington Post On Faith section.

I have been haunting there a bit.

I never met an atheist I could like. Surely, somewhere on this planet, there is a friendly atheist, but I haven’t bumped into one yet.

The atheists who have crossed my path are obnoxious. They create the world in their own image and likeness, where only they are right or reasonable, and everyone else is either a fool or fanatic. (Any atheist who doubts him/herself enough to benefit someone else’s opinion is not a dogmatic atheist, but an agnostic: see below).

You can’t have a dialogue with dogmatic atheists. Because they are so sure they know everything, they never listen to intelligent people. They are mirror images of the religious fundamentalists, who -- despite their dogmatism -- at least have their enthusiasms in the right place. The worst thing for society would be to let any of them have power over the body politic. Scratch a dogmatic atheist and you likely will find a wannabe Robespierre or worse.

GravatarConservatives were quick to condemn Reid and Durbin, who proceeded with four other senators on a trip to South America, knowing they would miss the rites in Washington. "He's the incoming Senate majority leader, for crying out loud, and he can't even show a little bit of respect?" commentator Mike Gallagher demanded on Fox News.

But the disregard was bipartisan. The White House sent out a press release from Crawford, Tex., detailing the logistics of last night's service, then added an asterisk: "Please note that President George W. Bush will not be attending this event."

GravatarCanada's bowl game...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gar...ki/ Garbage_Bowl

The Garbage Bowl is a yearly football matchup that takes place on the 1st day of January each year in Montreal West, Quebec, Canada. Overseen by the Montreal West Garbage Bowl Association, this match has taken place every year since 1950 on the Royal West Academy football field.

The match takes place between two teams, The Northern Combines and the Southern Bombers. The players are not paid and volunteer their time and effort in order to raise donations. Historically, the Northern Combines are made up of Montreal West residents living North of the C.P.R. Crossing while the Southern Bombers are made up of those living South of it. This division isn't stressed as much as in the early years, as many non-residents now participate in the game. Many players have played the game yearly for upwards of 20 years and the age of players varies considerably between teenagers and those in their 50's. Each team is made up of a 30 man roster (on average).

Proceeds from the game are donated to children's and youth organizations supported by the Montreal Westward Rotary Club. Each year the Garbage Bowl donates upwards of $10,000 in this way.


Examples of Garbage Bowl ButtonsSome of the proceeds come from the purchasing of Garbage Bowl Buttons, with a new one being produced each year. Examples can be seen in a picture on the right-hand side of this page.

The Garbage Bowl is known for its generous donations and for the fact that grown men are playing football in their pyjamas. But more than anything, it's the fact that the game is often played on frigid cold days and involves icy and/or snow laden conditions

GravatarOne of my other fave Burt Bachrach moments is Elvis Costello and the man himself doing "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" in the second Austin Powers movie.

One of the things that's so remarkable about Burt is that he's a totally classically trained composer -- he studied with Darius Milhaud, for crying out loud -- with all the harmonic sophistication that entails, and yet he grokked -- apparently intuitively -- black pop as if his background had been gospel and blues.

Which makes him -- dare I say it -- the true successor to Gershwin?

GravatarOne of my other fave Burt Bachrach moments is Elvis Costello and the man himself doing "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" in the second Austin Powers movie.

One of the things that's so remarkable about Burt is that he's a totally classically trained composer -- he studied with Darius Milhaud, for crying out loud -- with all the harmonic sophistication that entails, and yet he grokked -- apparently intuitively -- black pop as if his background had been gospel and blues.

Which makes him -- dare I say it -- the true successor to Gershwin?


I'll buy that.

Hey, I completely understand Bachrach's affinity to black pop, since I share it as well. I can't explain it, but it's like home for me.

And I'm white as a freaking sheet.

Loved that Austin Powers moment too.

GravatarIt's late, I'm tired.

Catch you bats later.


GravatarThe major difference between Gershwin and Bacharach, I would argue, is that Bacharach's music shows his classical training, is is more genteel, less workmanlike, the result being that Burt's stuff will never be the stuff of jazz musicians as Gershwins was and is. As accessible and beautiful as Bacharach's music is, it doesn't have the "common" touch that Gershwin's did.

That album him and Costello did is great... probably Bacharach's best work since he split with Hal David.

BTW, here's two questions: why did he and David split up? I have a theory (that is mine) that it involved Bacharach's apparent belief that he could actually sing. The other question is: does Bacharach actually believe he can sing? He keeps making efforts in that direction every now and then, and they're mercifully short, thank God. He's the only guy on the planet that's a worse singer than I am.


GravatarAll this talk of shit and piss is appropriate on Patti Smith's birthday.


Gravatarsimels:

elvis costello so badly wants to be the burt-ster ... but there's only one ... burt bacharach's stuff can be hellishly complicated to play, lots of changes in time signature, but all to excellent artistic effect. the comparison to gershwin is apt, they both wrote clever, memorable and singable melodies over complex chord changes. now i'm jealous and hate myself ... again.

GravatarGershwin's music swings. Bacharach's does not.


GravatarI think he just likes to sing. I like to sing too...

Me too - but I don't make albums with it!

Seriously, when I hear the melody of "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" - esp. the little out-of-tune flourish at the end of lines like "too big for his bed" - I think "Bacharach wrote that on purpose so he could sing it that way and get away with it."

Same with the incredibly-simplified melody of "Close to You".


GravatarSteve, if you can point me toward a Bachrach composition that holds a candle to An American In Paris, or Rhapsody in Blue, I'd appreciate it. George Gershwin's pop songs were made by Ira Gershwin's lyrics, but they hold together instrumentally without them. Can you really say the same about Bachrach's compositions without Hal David's lyrics?


GravatarGershwin's music swings. Bacharach's does not.

Gravatar"Asperger's Disorder is a milder variant of Autistic Disorder. Both Asperger's Disorder and Autistic Disorder are in fact subgroups of a larger diagnostic category. This larger category is called either Autistic Spectrum Disorders, mostly in European countries, or Pervasive Developmental Disorders ("PDD"), in the United States. In Asperger's Disorder, affected individuals are characterized by social isolation and eccentric behavior in childhood. There are impairments in two-sided social interaction and non-verbal communication. Though grammatical, their speech is peculiar due to abnormalities of inflection and a repetitive pattern. Clumsiness is prominent both in their articulation and gross motor behavior. They usually have a circumscribed area of interest which usually leaves no space for more age appropriate, common interests. Some examples are cars, trains, French Literature, door knobs, hinges, cappucino, meteorology, astronomy or history."

I know what you mean, but if memory serves, Gershwin had some music theory training as a kid.

The classic story is that after he was a big success, he asked Maurice Ravel for composition lessons, and Ravel turned him down saying (paraphrase) why would you want to become a mediocre Ravel when you're already a great Gershwin?

Gershwin innovated tasty voicings with the third in the base, moving up chromatically - see american in paris. Bacharach also came up with charateristic harmonies, mostly added note chords that dress up clever songs, but never came up with anything that has the scope and effect of Gershwin's orchestral pieces, that have harmonic and thematic development that goes way beyond a three minute song, as well as the lapidary short piano pieces. No contest - Gershwin was much more than a songwriter.

Gravatarwell, you can argue Summertime as modal, or you can call it a recharacterized blues, but it does utilize the standard II-V-I cadences in both sections. Bacharach has lots of sections where he doesn't use diatonic harmony, Walk On By has a bit of that. I think that Bacharach's time frame vs. Gershwin's has something to do with the differences in vocabulary. But, they are both serious melodists and excellent songwriters. I wonder if bacharach will have the same staying power with other artists covering his stuff? Summertime has been recorded an unimaginable number of times.

good question! I'm not sure... unless you mean Bix Beiderbecke, as in In A Mist & etc, I'd also compare Coltrane's middle period.

who did you have in mind?

GravatarIn a Mist has plenty of Debussy in it though, one of my favorite tunes of its day, about light years ahead of its time for jazz.

Gravatarre: troll numbers. in my estimation, there are 2 trolls, Incog and Toby. the rest are simply variations on a theme.

what's funny is that both are racist assholes with delusions of grandeur, and yet both demand we pay attention to their ravings and feel picked upon when their simpleton aphorisms are rebutted.

GravatarI wonder if bacharach will have the same staying power with other artists covering his stuff? Summertime has been recorded an unimaginable number of times.

I love the Bachrach/Davis stuff. Matter of fact, I've got a colony of earworms assaulting my brain after reading this thread. He and David may be the successors to the Gershwins (George and Ira), but George had a stronger command of the long form. What's a Bachrach work longer than 6 minutes?

Yes!! It's true - or at least whoever wrote those avant garde tunes that Henderson recorded in the late 20's-early 30's ... i think Tidal Wave was one of them
