Click, MeFites

This is a local, archival version of a particularly tricky MeFi post. I put enough work into it that I wanted a copy at home.

Click – MeFites, click the link of Wolfgang‘s new endeavor,
murderous, doomed, that cast as Achaeans countless actors,
hurling down to the House of Death so many sturdy souls,
blonde-tressed, open-helmed *. Will careers be made carrion,
feasts for the dogs and birds,
as the time of Bush is moving toward its end?

Begin, crows, when the trailers first were aired,
Agamemnon, some guy, and Brad Pitt, Achilles.

Goodbye, Bob

Bob Edwards: 30 Years on NPR is the NPR-hosted farewell site.

Twenty minutes ago my eyes snapped open just as Bob Edwards began his last on-air interview as host of Morning Edition with Charles Osgood, the same man he began the show with, a quarter century ago. It will be odd in the morning without him, the last day-to-day vestige of my childhood gone from my life.

Reminder

Town Hall, 7:30, Friday, April 30.

New CD! Bring some scratch.

Potential posse people: leave comments.

UPDATE (2p): Sounds like KUOW is playing selections from the new CD RIGHT NOW!

UPDATE II: The new album, Only Just Beginning, has been released online!

American Mavericks

American Mavericks just started on KUOW tonight at 10p. But it’s in the KUOW Presents, which means it might be transient.

I still resent the fifteen-year-old loss of classical music programming on the station. I hope they pick this up, but even if they don’t I have at least heard about the feckin’ thing. Check out the audio on the AM website. Reich! Cage! Composers I’ve never feckin’ heard of!

This is the show played tonight.

Power

Giant power wows are hitting my neighborhood, so the server might go down.

*womp*

Blinken lights, radio static. Makes me wanna run out to look at the donner und blitzen.

That's DUMAS

Today I got in touch with my inner tard, by attending a film for review and SITTING IN THE WRONG THEATER for an hour.

Sigh. I will restrict my activities for the rest of the day to non-technical pursuits.
