I sent word to JN through a mutual friend that ksh had dissed her and devoted most of 2/23/10 to pointless non-HOOM activities

see if the itunes defaults consistently applied such great genre tags to my mp3s i might let it do its work. but typically it's more like "indie/alternative" if i pop in john fahey or "blues" when i pop in tabu ley rochereau ... or the dreaded "world" tag.
j0hn check the merle haggard thread ok?

Thanks! I made up "harpcore" myself. (iTunes couldn't name two of the discs, and I think it put the other one under alternative or something.)

Called her ten minutes ago to do damage control; she'll keep making music as long as HOOM remains my album of the year, whether I've listened to it or not.

Length of SymphoniesSymphonies grew out of opera overtures, and the earliest are 8-10 minutes long. By the time of Haydn and Mozart in the late 18th century they ran 20-30 minutes. Beethoven expanded the size; his shortest are about 25 minutes, but his 3rd runs 55 minutes and his 9th runs 70 minutes. The length of CDs was supposedly picked by a record-company executive who said, "Make it long enough to fit Beethoven's Ninth." The next generation (Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann) were mostly shorter again (about 35 minutes), but Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique runs 50 minutes. Most late 19th century symphonies (Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak) run 40-50 minutes, but other composers (Bruckner, Mahler) run longer. Mahler's 3rd runs about 2 hours and is, I think, in the Guinness Book of World Records. After Mahler, most symphonies were much shorter. Prokofiev's 1st "Classical" is only 12 minutes. Most 20th century symphonies are 20-30 minutes, though others are 40-45 and a few run as long as 70 minutes.

serious real talk here for a second: Ys should have been indexed, marketed and released as one 50-minute song
further serious real talk: if I ever rubbished this album without listening to it, I take that back. it's pretty good. I think it works because it seems so improvised, so unpredictable...it's a musical journey through one person's fresh inspiration, and I dig that. the strings may occasionally threaten to veer the wrong side of Jean-Pierre Jeunet but they're kept in sufficient check, and deployed with sufficient craft, to be on the whole a boon.
it's not world-ending brilliance, but I like it and am pleased I gave over time to listen to it.
triple-albums suck tho
