TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

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

God bless youtube.

FUN FACT: Adewale Akinnuoye Agbaje (Mr Eko on LOST) is playing Body Massage Heavy Duty in the upcoming live action GI JOE movie.

awesome

THAT IS AWESOME

I think that may be the only thing that would drive me to see the GI Joe movie.

Well, unless they also cast Naveen Andrews in it.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt ... Cobra Commander

waht

SERIOUSLY!

MOST INEXPLICABLE CASTING CHOICE FOR THE LIVE-ACTION G.I. JOE MOVIE

I'm really really tired again! who wants to bet I'm still awake at 4am tomorrow morning anyway?

Sadly, I'd take that bet.

I am so hungry bump

Joseph Gordon-Levitt ... Cobra Commander

oh do i have a hilariously fucked-up story about this that will only be told decidedly OFF-ILX

Looking forward to the talk about that over drinks in a few days, then!

yz.

i might need a place to crash on friday night.
