Thinking Chaos, Thinking Fences


All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer. -- Robert Louis Stevenson

Send photos of your workspace to this guy. He puts them up on his Web site. It's strangely voyeuristic to see what other peoples' desks look like.

I saw a documentary a while back about this collaboration between Anne Sofie von Otter and Elvis Costello. I'd heard a few songs, and recently purchased the album. It's the most accomplished, sophisticated pop albums I've heard in years. Von Otter sings and Costello writes and arranges, and the result is brilliant. She's an accomplished opera star, and brings a maturity, technicality and expressiveness to the songs that today's pop-girl-of-the-moment can't approach. The songs are gorgeous (if, at times, a little syrupy, but then that's pop music) and the arrangements are original. Highly recommended.

That's right, San Francisco's Magic Theatre has seen fit to premier Kaczynski, 'which mixes fictionalized scenes from Kaczynski's life with absurdist comic elements including--believe it or not--songs.' Surprisingly, this review says that it 'fails to illuminate or entertain.'
