Penderecki's OST for Resnais' 'Je t'aime, je t'aime'

Grandpont Genie, the Barclays Bank on Park Lane was originally a house belonging to a soap manufacturer named R.W. Hudson.

The Park Lane millionaires did not like houses of the conventional type and indulged their fancy in styles of the past, like Mr RW Hudson, the soap king, who built himself a mediaeval folly, Stanhope House, decorated with heraldic shields and gargoyles, his cult of the past even making him prefer narrow gothic windows which restrict the glorious view of the Park. This quaint house - the work of WH Romaine Walker - by some miracle still stands at the corner of Stanhope Street opposite the Dorchester Hotel. The ground floor is occupied by the Park Lane branch of Barclays Bank, which has entered into the gothic spirit by inscribing its name in 'Olde Worlde' gold lettering on the front.

Stanhope House, Park Lane, which was erected in 1901 for Mr. R. W. Hudson from the designs of Mr. W. H. Romaine-Walker, is the "house beautiful" of Park Lane. As it was especially desired by the owner that the Gothic treatment should be adopted, the period selected was the ate fourteenth century, with flamboyant feeling in the tracery and mouldings. The stone used is the grey Forest of Dean, while the roof is of copper. The main feature of the Park Lane frontage is the treatment of the bay windows, three in number, starting at the balcony of the first floor and continuing to the parapet level; on the Great Stanhope Street front there is an oriel bay. Inside, the decoration of the principal rooms has been most choicely carried out in the Adams style, which lends itself effectively to the beautiful collection of satinwood furniture, old blue china, and valuable pictures by Gainsborough, Romney, Hoppner, and other masters.

The magnificent gothic design of Stanhope House was the work of WH Romaine-Walker in 1898. Originally occupied by RW Hudson, the soap manufacturer, the building has been a Barclays branch since 1952.

Any way of sourcing the book 'Transcendent algebra. Ideografie matematical. Experiment de un lingue filosofic'. There's a listing on amazon.fr, but they don't have any copies.

thanks for the mirror pics guys, the chaplin thing is the kind of thing im after, just not on angle. might have to make a makeshift one in photoshop, shouldn't be too difficult.

Gravel Of Four Weeks Ago: I've no idea whether this is of any help to you, but according to Worldcat it's held by libraries in Leicester, Paris, Utrecht and Berlin. (Looks weirdly intersting btw!)

I ended up ordering it from the BNF in Paris, or a photocopy of it, anyway. Kind of pumped, though obviously I wish I'd known it was in Leicester - thanks!

The extract from it that got me interested is here: http://www.ioling.org/problems/2003/i1/

ok once upon a time youtube "related" led me into a whole pile of clips from, i believe, an italian talk show. the segments were two really hot people answering the same question at the same time (different cameras), with music playing. sometimes you could tell the two were giving roughly the same answer, other times it was just wildly different it was totally cacophonous and awesome and i've never been able to find any of them again.

anyone have idea what this is/was?

please help.

I saw this video on youtube where a slightly past-his-prime Brian Wilson was playing piano singing some classic Beach Boys song (God Only Knows? Don't Worry Baby? Surfer Girl? I don't remember). partway through the performance, the camera panned out to reveal Brian sitting at a grand piano in the middle of a sandbox with toys scattered all around. I'm guessing it was a TV appearance from the '70, and the setting was probably a studio rather than Brian's actual living room. anyone know what I'm talking about?

it's not his SMiLE-era solo "Surf's Up" performance (which doesn't feature a sandbox), although it reminds me of that somewhat.

nvm, found it

it's from Saturday Night Live, 1976. god this is exploitative.

...any evidence whatsoever that at one point Days of Our Lives character Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) had a pop idol turn, during which he sang his hit, "Friendly Fires," at the Salem nightclub and was afterwards assailed by crazed fans tearing at his clothes

A clip of Bruce McCulloch and Dave Foley in the 1980s Anne of Green Gables!

Bruce is in the debutante ball scene for like five seconds. Don't remember Foley in it though.

a clip, previously linked on ilx, in which nile rodgers talks about walking into bars and seeing people play 'le freak' entirely wrong

Is it this? It's the best thing ever. There was also a whole series of him lecturing in Manchester, but they seem to have gone.

yes it is! and it is! thank you - !

can't find a list of all the NME editors 1952-date. This follows on from an Observer (I think) article I read about Krissi Murison and a number of her predecessors.

Looking for a website which lists film soundtracks in the order they appeared in a film and describes the scenes they were in.

A picture of this where the cover has been defaced (why do I think perhaps by John(ny) Lydon/Rotten) to say 'Captain Wanker'

Reviews differentiating the various versions of the Area cds. Only recently had it confirmed that there were remasters since the late 80s.

ugh, i feel like i've asked this before, maybe repeatedly, but where is the thread where politicians are all making the "i'm sorry" face? i will bookmark it this time.

this one?

thanks!

I've been looking for a high resolution version of <a href="http://tinyurl.com/cph35ns";>my girlfriend's favourite photograph</a> (google images), it must be big enough to blow up onto a canvas. Not had much luck with google.

1024x892 is bigger than the ones there but will still look bad blown up, I guess. Unless you did that posterise thing on it, maybe (what's that called, when it becomes made up of circles and what not?)

i would recommend hiring dan lacey to paint it

That is so damn cute I just spent 10 minutes looking for it as well. I could mess around with it in photoshop but the image quality is the image quality.. :(

It looks like a home scan of a print that's then been passed around lo-res around the net, so I'm kind of doubtful you'll ever get a hi-res of it.

the image quality is the image quality

Image enhancement for enlargement is improving, mind …

The music video for 'Bad Sad Hill' by Kheops which is a different track to 'Sad Hill' from what I can remember. I have been trying to find it for more than a decade. It involved kung fu moves atop a French high rise. I think.

xp that is pretty good, Alba! My skills are a lot more basic ;)

been looking for casio parody of "last night" by "the different strokes" for years...

oh I tried to find the song Kingdom of Lies by Folk Implosion and it was not available anywhere legally that I could find. This may have changed; I did not re-search.

Someone posted this list, maybe even on ILX, of great songs to play for kids that won't annoy the shit out of adults. Like, instead of the Wiggles and so on it maybe had the Ramones and others on it. Does this sound at all familiar to anyone?

yeah, it does cuz i think i suggested gustafer yellowgold

I can't find white 3-prong extension cords apparently.

Some movie which is animated versions of real couples talking about their therapy. I watched it once on a plane, of all things. It was probably around 2010. Googling for it brings up one zillion unwanted references to the movie 'Couples Therapy'.

There was a British animation that did this:

That's the one! Thanks.

median household net worth back to 1800. i realize that obviously there's not solid data once you go past 1960 or whatever. but somewhere out there, someone has probably estimated, year by year, how much a median household's net worth was back in the 1800s.

i'm looking for it because i was trying to make a neat chart showing how how rich all of the US presidents have been compared to the median. i've got the data for the presidents. not the citizens.

a pen-and-ink drawing of two men standing facing each other. the guy on the left is holding a beehive on the end of a stick, and the guy on the right is sticking his dick into the beehive. the guy on the left is saying, "WHAT FEELS AWESOME?" and the guy on the right is saying, "THIS FEELS AWESOME!", and they both have rainbow-colored confetti (or maybe flowers?) streaming out of their mouths. very positive vibe all around. I think I saw it on ilx one time. help?

hmm, I don't see anything
