Well they announced a concert opera commitment at Carnegie Hall over the next five years (the first program is "Tosca") so there is still time

There was mountain cheese with hazelnuts and chestnuts, acorn dumplings with honeysuckle sauce, a latticed bilberry tart with whiterose cream, golden-crusted bread hot from the ovens, and a choice of spiced fruit cordial or borage an' rosehip tea.

I agree that it would be a justified move, but it would signal a very different and much more restorative response to this political period than I expect

I don't have enough time to post about this now, but I think the choice to equate "being a musician" with "being able to explain a 12-bar blues progression during courtroom testimony" and "being able to read sheet music" it undermines the author's argument (which I really think is interesting)

Once again, I feel I must censor my views on my university's leadership (namely, by keeping everything I feel private) because I am not on the tenure track

No, I didn't see that - but now I think my idea is possible (dealing with the water is an important consideration I haven't solved yet)

I'm reading about electric eels (because Gerald and I saw one at the Toledo Zoo & Aquarium last week) and of course I am curious if you could harness one as a CV source in a modular synthesis performance

Bring the Noise - Wikipedia

I don't know that, but (at least according the the linked Wikipedia page) Anthrax made a cover first and then Public Enemy warmed up to collaborating more fully, including extensive co-touring (which is pretty remarkable from to me)

Maybe Ian rapped in the cover?
