I love Bruno Walter as much as the next guy but Iβm not convinced he made every definitive recording of Brahms
Iβve watched that movie about 60 times in the last two years because it seems to be the only thing that soothes me in these troubled times
Oh no nevermind youβre definitely a jinx π
Last time I bought any Toronto sports memorabilia was in highschool and the Leafs were in the playoffs so the fact that I just got a Blue Jays shirt does not bode well
In this sense chatbots are fulfilling the role of decidedly mediocre middle managers and nothing else
I learned about the Audubon Society way before the German autobahn and there was definitely a few years there where I was perplexed by car guysβ obsession with birds
I like pronouncing patio like ratio because I think itβs hilarious and itβs a little joke for myself
Michael Bloomberg was never the Governor of NY, he was the mayor of New York City
We just think theyβre neat

META rejected an ad from the Cabrillo Festival for mentioning democracy, human rights, and gay pride. Truly evil corporation.
A guy once found my email and emailed me to ask me out after seeing me in the AUDIENCE of a concert. I told him I wasnβt interested and then about a month later he emailed me a dick pic.
Tbh I think easier to think about Berlioz a lot if you DONβT like him than if you do.
I love Berlioz but my brain canβt wrap my head around LΓ©lio, the sequel to Symphonie Fantastique, which is some of the most ill conceived nonsense that has ever existed
The most shocking thing to me has been Quebec, which has a very strong separatist movement, suddenly becoming VERY nationalistic. Completely unprecedented.
The cafΓ© that sold the yummiest and somehow cheapest lasagna near my place closed and Iβm upset about it.
Should I have expected a place that never had anyone in it and had signs everywhere saying there was a 30 min seating limit would last long? Probably not. Am I still sad? You betcha!
If you re-edit this with different music it could be Dukakis in the tank
But how else will they know they were wrong?!
So glad that Handmaidβs Tale is back to remind me that they named one of the characters Joseph Lawrence
Only if itβs just a cover band
Legitimately wondering if he was waiting it out hoping that enough people wouldβve forgotten Don Fergusonβs impression of him on Air Farce before inserting himself into the political spotlight again
No. Only pink. Those are the rules.
That is the shade of pink! You won!
Going to an 80s dance tonight for a friendβs birthday
People always talk about Brahms and the Schumanns but I find Mendelssohn and the Schumanns SOOO interesting
He was not at his best in Dresden lol
So when are we allowed to complain? When our cities are reduced to rubble like the Ukraine? Is that when weβre allowed to advocate for ourselves? How many atrocities do we have to have happen to our country at your countryβs hand before weβre allowed to voice our concern?
So weβre facing an existential threat because your democratically elected government has announced they want to take us over but you donβt want us to voice the fact that we want more of your people, who voted this government in, to be aware of the gravity of this situation? Because youβre too busy?
Weβre all aware of how bad things are down there but our sovereignty is very important to us. Itβs jarring to go from having one of the strongest friendships to being treated like enemy invaders so I guess if you donβt care fine but we have a right to defend ourselves even if it annoys you.
If your friend brings over their new boyfriend who intentionally shits all over your rug and tries steal your car youβre probably gonna be a little mad at the friend for making the dumb decision to bring him
Looking forward to the day when I can read the news without Yakety Sax playing in my head
