I was watching that "Soundbreaking" documentary, and somebody says in reference to Eleanor Rigby "when's the last time you tapped your foot to a string Octet?" and I thought "um.. Mendelssohn"

What Linda L. said.

Also: @unpopularfred: that line in Soundbreaking jumped out at me, as well. Like, hell, let me make a bloody LIST....

An hour does go by fast, doesn't it? Glad the show is keeping feet tapping and ears tuned!!

who do we petition? :-) are petitions more effective at fmu than they are in DC?

Bethany Ryker:

Oh, and...I could really go for some carrot cake. Teh bakery near me stopped making their carrot cake bars, and man, I miss 'em.

Now I want carrot cake too.

Local bakery had PUMPKIN PIE BARS for one brief moment of glory and now they are gone :(

i'd love some carrot cake too! not too sweet. large slice.

Bethany Ryker:

Must have cream cheese frosting.
Avatar 8:41pm
Linda Lee:

absolutely!!
Avatar 8:41pm
Rev. Turnip Druid:

It is magical, a decent carrot cake. CC frosting, yes. Nutty, woody, dense.
As for petitions, I'd sign the hell out of that one.

...a rare treat, to catch the Hit Parade live. Typically lurking from the archives.

Linda Lee:

who can i speak to who will deliver 1 large carrot cake with cc frosting to the catskills forest where i live? who??

@ Rev. Turnip Druid - what most bugged me about that series was its rock snobbery. Maybe snobbery is not the right word, but lack of pre-rock historical perspective.

Bethany! Those Little Nemo carrot cakes are a nice treat if you can find them.

Bethany, I loved how that last set went together. Also, I believe the Emersons overdubbed themselves on that recording.

perfect sounds this evening. just perfect. cures for despair.

Rev. Turnip Druid:

@unpop: I was traveling, stuck channel-surfing in a hotel in Newark (don't have TV at home usually), found that episode about studio production. Very predictable flaws in the coverage, but I guess it beat watching weird preachers & infomercials for vegetable juicers.

I enjoyed the Honegger too. I'm reminded of finding out that a string quartet at a contemporary music festival were going to play a Bruckner quartet, which I anticipated with dread but turned out a very pleasant surprise. Perhaps that's something to dig out.
