Thinking out loud about food and music and blogs
katherinestasaph:
rachael-maddux:
Spurred by this post of Dave’s! I’ve been thinking about this lately—why, when there are so many “personalities” and individual critics associated with music writing, have so few been able to establish online outposts specifically centered around their own personal music-related narratives? Why are most music writers still working in either the blog framework...
Mortals, Beware: Lully's 'Atys' : NPR →
Saw the incredible production of Atys at the BAM this weekend; if you’re not familar with French baroque opera, well … it’s not Italian opera, that’s for sure. More subtle and pretty with way fewer moments of bombast, but ultimately, no less ridiculous.

Coming Soon to a Theater Near You: Drinks at Your... →
Huh, I wasn’t aware that the real reason there was no Alamo Drafthouse-like clone in NYC was the state law on the books since Prohibition that banned the sale of alcohol inside movie theaters. (I always thought it was that New Yorkers would never be able to handle the etiquette needs of a theater that served actual meals and actual alcohol during the film. No, really.)

Your New Favorite Old Songs →
summeranne:
I wrote this thing for the Hairpin about a few old songs that I love.
You should go read it and + it or like it or retweet it so I can quit my job and live the glamorous life of a professional blogher (JKJKJKJK).
It excites me that the rest of the world will now know about the awesomeness of Summer Anne on an even wider scale.
First Listen: Tori Amos, 'Night Of Hunters' : NPR →
This is actually really good! Believe me, this surprises me as much as it does you, considering how unlistenable her last few albums were. Yikes. [eta: Her daugher’s voice! Wow! JEALOUS OF AN 11-YEAR-OLD OMG.]

– From NPR.org: “Tammar: Sensual, Ceremonial Minimalism.” (via marathonpacks)
I’m not sure if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but when I bother to listen to a whole record that I can’t stand, and then tell you how absolutely, abysmally terrible it is — that’s when you...

BAMcinématek | The Complete Vincente Minnelli →
This is me having a total freakout. THIRTY-FIVE films through mid-November! When the BAM says complete, they mean it.
I’ve been dying to see some of these on the big screen my whole life; most are not the kind that make it to classic film retrospective programs.

Every day, it seems, I’m both happy not to be in Austin anymore, and crushed by the never-ending steamroller of “progress” in downtown. I can’t even begin to account for the hundreds (thousands?) of hours spent at...

Wow, I know we complain about this every day, it seems, but I think Thought Catalog’s really gone off the deep end today. Just mouse over the URL above, that should be enough.

That sounds like it will be amazeballs, especially as I’d put Liela Moss near the top of a very short list of musicians who are the most stunning performers around.

Dear Internet,
Just a rhetorical question, but please explain to me why one body modification (collagen lip injections) is worse than another (tattooing, piercings, dying yr hair)?
