One of the best thing about Boston is all the music at schools. I would rather hear the New England Conservatory's symphony at Jordan Hall in a year when they are good than the BSO across the street. The BSO has consistancy, but the students are so much more in love with what they are doing when they play it well together. The kids are alright.

The first one she married was Mahler
Whose buddies all knew him as Gustav
And each time he saw her, he'd holler
"Ach! That is the frauline I must have!"
Their marriage, however, was murduh
He'd scream to the heavens above
"I'm writing Das Lied von der Erde
And she only wants to make love!"

Yeah, vixy.net is working right now. This is the easiest way I've found to download and transcode youtube video into a format that my portable music player likes. It does this without introducing any video glitches, sound distortion, or video/music sync issues.
(all things that most other format transcoders seem to do sometimes)
The only problem that vixy.net has is that it sometimes gets overloaded with too much traffic, which means if I want the media, I use another more fallible method.

Because if they sucked less, they could be real musicians, as opposed to having to produce shit for the captive audience that buys so-called "Contemporary Christian" "Music."

And in re: fundie music: many of the big fundie churches are more or less cults of personality centered around the person of the minister and somewhat around his immediate family members. There's a mega-fundie church here that literally has a gift shop off the main entry; said gift shop is primarily stocked with books written by or tapes recorded by the pastor and/or members of his close family. It's a profit center for the family.

I think it was just last week on Big Love that Bill rose to the defense of Lady Bird Johnson. He was in a business negotiation with a guy who owned a billboard company, and Lady Bird apparently ran some kind of campaign against billboards as an eyesore on the nation's highways. This billboard company guy had a dartboard with Lady Bird's face in his office, and Bill protested that one shouldn't malign the First Lady of the United States in such a manner. For some reason, I found that touching.

"The loveliest girl in Vienna
Was Alma, the smartest as well
Once you picked her up on your antenna,
You'd never be free of her spell.
Her lovers were many and varied,
From the day she began her -- beguine
There were three famous ones whom she married,
And God knows how many between...
The first one she married was Mahler,
Whose buddies all knew him as Gustav
And each time he saw her he'd holler:
"Ach, that is the fraulein I muust have!"
Their marriage, however, was murder
He'd scream to the heavens above,
"I'm writing Das Lied von der Erde,
And she only vants to make love!"

Bach used to get fucking ripped before shows. He's forget whole movements. And when he was really hammered he'd sometimes trash his harpsichord.
This may not be true of Bach, but Beethoven used to be a concert pianist occasionally, when the piano was first invented. He liked so much that this was a keyboard instrument that could play differences in volume, that he was known for destroying those delicate early instruments. His music page turner, often had to pull broken strings and piano mechanical bits out of the piano during the performance.
And people thought the Who were doing something new and radical.

Speaking of cats, a new one showed up here about a week ago, and was trying to lick up the scummy remains of water I had dumped out of a flowerpot saucer (to keep mosquitos from breeding) on the back porch. So I went to put out some fresh water, and it ran, then came back after I went in the house and drank. Since then, it won't leave. Or at least it leaves for only a couple of hours at a time, then returns. I wake up in the morning, she's sitting on the back porch, staring at the doors. I go to bed, she's sitting on the back porch, staring at the doors. She doesn't run now, she wants to come in, which of course is not going over well with my kitty, who now will not go out back. Thing is, this cat is well-fed; it belongs to someone nearby, though I don't know who. But it has decided that it wants to move here. I haven't figured out how I'm going to get rid of it, but I'm going to have to, because I want my cat in the back yard, not out front where she'll be tempted to cross the street and probably get run over. So tomorrow I'm going to put up fliers with the visiting kitty's picture, and hope someone calls so I can suggest to them that for some reason, their cat has decided to look for another home, and encourage them to do what's needed to make it happier where it lives.

I went to a Sebadoh concert once and there was an incredibly hostile vibe coming from the band. They couldn't have made it any plainer that they had nothing but contempt for the audience, the whole concept of "putting on a show," everything. They sounded terrible, but intentionally so, as if it would have been "uncool" to actually play in a competent and entertaining manner. I found the whole thing so off-putting that I went to the bar, sat with my back to the band, and got absolutely shit-faced and ignored the rest of the show. I figured I'd just treat it like it was the local bar and they were the shitty bar band entertainment. I guess that was my "revenge," not that they could have known about it.

Plum P - it is a very sweet kitty and has not been aggressive towards my cat at all. But my cat is very skittish. She was here for 6 weeks before she figured out that I wasn't going to kill her, and it took her another year before she would remain in the same room with anyone visiting the house. She's very attached to me but I don't know that she would stay if I took in another cat - and she would not have an easy time finding another home if she ran off, due to being so people-shy. So I kind of figure I owe it to her to keep things calm around here.

Time out -- please. Don't do that. Unless it gets bigger, leave it alone. If it gets bigger with no sign of getting better, take her to the vet.
Squeezing chin pimples on cats can cause worse infections that can go straight to their hearts, much as with improperly done dental work. Some cats get blackheads on their chins, too, and squeezing those can also cause serious problems
