tehresa OTM. Fake it until you make it, dude.

And tell us about this opera. I'm going to be disappointed if it doesn't involve Port-O-Lets this time.

urinetown the musical

oh wau i just read that play for theater history last month!

I have never heard of it, which is entirely unsurprising.

I need remedial Everything classes.

record rereleases moving forward way faster than intended, which, stacked on top of new house is making me tnessssseeesee

Can we call you Arrsteed Dveloepemnt for short?

wau tehresa, synergy

John - I feel like I should offer you some help here, but my schedule is going to be a huge mess once classes start on Thurs. That being said, if you and K. need it, maybe I could find an hour or two to help you pack/clean/sort at some point before your moving day.

I have yet to imagine any way to help Dan learn Italian, though. Um... you could listen to language podcasts. The only people I know who know Italian moved to Seattle. ;_;

hey guys, #2 thread ^_^

That's amazing! :)

HI DERE APPARENTLY HOW TO LEARN ITALIAN = MOVE TO SEATTLE

It does seem a bit counterintuitive, doesn't it.

Ned, at some point when I mentioned this on some other thread, you mentioned some ILXOR that I should be talking to about this (unreleased Kottke/Fahey/Howlin' Wolf/other old blues dude stuff).

Do you remember who that was/what the fuck I am talking about?

I am supposed to be listening to the Ernani CD but instead I am playing "Machine Gun" on repeat off of Youtube.

z = ts
r = flipped between vowels
d and t = dental!

that's all i can think of atm.

oh, also, look @ the score to see which syllables are emphasized in a word!

I think my favorite thing so far is the ellision of "tuo" and "il" on a 16th note.

italian is a lot easier in seattle. we just say pagliacci over and over again.

i love the GLIs

If the chorus part was all languid balladry, I'd be set. However, since we're bandits and rogues, most of it is peppy drinking song nonsense that goes by at a bazillion words per minute.

Probably Mike McGonigal.

Get a hold of him via Facebook under Mike Mcgg

That sounds insanely fun.

Thanks. I need other ears to listen to this stuff. we just found another 600 reels of tape we didn't know we had, and I am hitting burnout fast. is ian the resident John Fahey guy, or am I imagining that?

YEAH SARA TRYING SINGING IT WITHOUT SPRAINING YOUR TONGUE

I look forward to hearing about your emergency room visit with a sprained tongue, Dan.

"Sir, can you explain how this happened...?"

They are going to draw their own conclusions, you know.

Plus you won't be able to talk clearly!

bah. i didn't go to the emergency room when I bit through my tongue, so I can't imagine Dan would be sissified enough to go there due to a simple sprain

To combat rumor, I will make my wife take me and make sure she staggers around a lot with a big goofy grin.

cut to vivid memories of tongue tripping during bohème chorus - scene where mothers yell at kids is like 45 words/minute!

oh and also it is writtne for sops and i was in alto and they didn't tell us to learn that part but then in staging director is like 'ok let's go!' so we all had to sing it on the spot w/out actually knowing it after a week of chorus rehearsals during which we were supposed to have laerned it LOLS

okay that's totally LOL; a similar thing happened to our ladies in Lucrezia Borgia.

if you are not in too much tongue-distress, please take and post video

VIDEO OF THE STAGGERING NOT THE IMPLICATION

sorry public service message and all

Backing up to John -- Ian knows Fahey's stuff, certainly. He may well be the expert! But I'd honestly go direct to Mike first simply because he's best placed to suggest what to do with it all, as well as giving you a slew of potential contacts.

Anyway, drop me a private e-mail about this too, to remind me of all the details.

John to the rescue? xpost

Also, you bit through your tongue, WTF?!

will do, ned

Yeah, I was at the edge of a pit at first avenue and one of the little midgety chicken-dancing glue-huffer twins (don't ask) bounced up under my chin while i was saying something and i bit through my tongue hard enough to chip a few of my teeth and split my tongue in two.

good times.

Well that was... descriptive.

(I'm not sure if I should be impressed or offer retroactive sympathy or be appalled that you didn't go to the emergency room or if I should just reconsider any future plans to visit First Avenue ever again)

i would like to forget that i ever read about it

lxy, I apologize to you for asking. Unfortunately, as with many things, there is no turning back.

Also, the nursing student nutcase in me is kind of disappointed that I wasn't there to see Forked Tongue John.

you'd be suprised.

^^^ not sure how to parse that, and fearful to ask

pubic service masssage

The extra "s" in "massage" makes that even more disturbing somehow
