What is weird about America? Could that same question be asked the U.K.? Should be an exam question and my website on the syllabus! ;) What…
David Lynch ….kinda et al, not that there is an 'al' equation. The whole financial system. OK- shooting myself in the foot- well: not really. I discovered a couple of great UK films from the 70's/80's. The Internecine Project couldn't be more apposite today if it tried! Ahhh- just joking. Trump has everything under control. Including the CIS ! And the AFB. I think the CBI is a health clinic in Wyoming….wondrous minds. Changed. As if that CIA scheme of the 30-s-70's that is my memory changed gave free instruments and 'health care' to drug addled musicians? The doc that the Raindance Fest bravely championed. I remember! I have a post-traumatic recall dream: Teresa May dancing with Malcolm McDowell in the fields of Elsyium. And there is Lola Kirke as the Blue Fairy! What happened to the world when I was dozing?
In olden days…anything goes….
[as an addendum June 28: The truth is stranger than fiction. A few nights ago I actually dreamt of me and Trump (should that be in reverse?). I was floating (flat bed style) about 10 foot above ground at a 'something'. Can't remember what. Trump just stared as if: what the 'f' are you doing here. I floated on. Came to ground in front- not behind. Can't remember what. Fronted security and for some reason did a Michael Jackson starjump 'here I am'! A blank after that. You'll think I am making this up. But it was a real dream. So here's the deal. First dream free: thereafter psychoanalysists- howsabout a great deal- $1,000 per dream. A bargain when you look at the dross out there! Never a dream about Putin thusfar. Hope springs eternal as Chekhov said:) ]
Credit Score is equal to The President in America. Just three companies controlling your life. Who needs the CIC! It's all about working 'the system'. …PAYWELL for further success! :)
Dreams are wonderful, equally illusory. They can be 'munchkins' throwing 'cherrios' at each other or sheer shards of revolution. Interesting that a cooling fan in 95 degree heat 2 foot away during sleep can sculpt dreams in such strange ways. True. You sleep, you wake, you sleep and it all seems one and the same as your mind makes semblance. Scary!
It would never happen in, umm, Iceland:) !
Just trying to regiment your summer eyes and eyes….there is a great little something that you would have thought that the BBC would have thunk. Piano Puzzler. My perfect Brit Adolphe candidate Stephen Johnson- if only he could play the piano that well;) Have a heart- he pretty much wipes the floor when it comes to music appreciation!
A film Loophole with a cast to be wowed at (the trailer in retro does rather sound like a self help drug ad;) !. Vincent Canby of the NY***! washed it off his very clean hands in a 5 sec. review.
Well: it may not be Bresson (Robert or who was that other Frog geezer…?) BUT: would all of these great actors (well many not the stars they are all now, pace pace, ucc e uccelini have gin through with that movie with mediocre 'suits' pulling the strings? Sounds totally plausible in 2020!
Ah! - just blew my retirement fund:)
Something called The Proms about to burst? Let me check them all out. Can never trust musicians, they tell the world a truth…..
{Hint: The word irony no longer exists in the American syllabus. The word awesome is predominant. Without irony.}
Tap Your Troubles Away
OK- FREE ANDREW PROMS GUIDE (disclosure- I never ever received any free Proms tickets-nor asked such)
A bold statement but the BBC Proms is the greatest music festival in the world- its duration, its breadth, its triple A talent. Many other great opera, classical, contemp music, jazz etc fest. but the BBC Proms!
Forgive the shorthand, but the following you would very unlikely get a seat anywhere in the world in the sold-out house even London:
July 25-Jarvis Cocker and friends: Scott Walker
Aug 25- Riccardo Chailly
Aug 28
La clemenza di Tito
Mozart's last opera with some of the most sublime music of all time. You can 'YouTube' it but to hear those notes live is an experience that you will never forget.
Aug 30
Renée Fleming joins Sakari Oramo and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra for music by Barber and Strauss.
Sept 1
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra returns to the Proms for the first time in almost a decade, under Chief Conductor Daniele Gatti. Bruckner Ninth Symphony
Sept 2- Mahler 4th
Sept 4
The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Manfred Honeck perform Mahler’s First Symphony
{I know you'll be amazing! Don't screw up Pittsburgh. You'll get the Irish Spring soap treatment over your bows on return if u do:) !}
Sept 7
Daniel Harding conducts the Vienna Philharmonic- Mahler’s Sixth.
Daniel Harding was on the scene eons before Dudamel. Long time ago. Harding conducted Mahler's uncompleted 10th in Berlin just after Giuseppe Sinopoli died. Never to be forgotten. In fairness maestros.
then later that evening, Prom 73: András Schiff performs Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier
Sept 8
Pianist Emanuel Ax joins the Vienna Philharmonic for its second Prom this season, under Michael Tilson Thomas.
