I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

Hottest summer I've lived through in almost 10 years!
  12:12pm
Cecile:

hey, Doug!

Thanks, Bryce!
  12:14pm
Cecile:

Doug, I know you're a busy man, but I'd love a list of places in Pittsburgh a WFMUer could visit happily. I gotta go armed with places I want to see. The only thing I've managed is 3 Rivers stadium (whatever its' called now), some train mall, hospitals and the National Aviary.
  12:17pm
bryce:

DIE, PIANOS, DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!!!

also, hello.
  12:18pm
Marco D Argento:

What was worse? Februray of 30 inches of snow. Where I had to dig a snow tunnel to get out of my apartment. OR this summer! I have been roasted alive by the sun. I'm not just tanned I'm barbecued to brown leather.I kid you not!!!

J-Mar:

Marco D Argento:

Marco D Argento:

Sigh* I'm sure by Christmas day will be 5 plus feet deep on snow:-(
  12:26pm
still b/p:

Cecile -- My sister moved there a year ago, and seems to get all over the place pursuing work & personal interests. I'll see about suggestions.
  12:28pm
bryce:

hey cecile, the mattress factory is a wonderful museum. they have a yayoi kusama room with a secret door that leads into another mirrored yayoi kusama room.

also, there's the warhol museum. they show some films there too, i think.
  12:32pm
PMD:

Bryce, it doesn't seem like those mechanics are fixing those pianos...
  12:32pm
Marco D Argento:

How did bed sheets get to be $179 dollars a single sheet!!!
  12:34pm
bryce:

you can't just calibrate a 420-key piano in 3 minutes.
  12:35pm
Joel Robinson:

I said to the woman you must be out of your mind! $179 a sheet. What are they made of spun gold!
  12:36pm
Cecile:

thanks everyone, I'll have to check it out.
Bryce, the Factory was several blocks from where I was visiting the hospital, but we never made it there.
  12:37pm
Devin:

The sheet must be made of saffron
  12:38pm
still b/p:

...Maybe someone special slept in 'em first? Whose sheets would sway you to pay premium price?
  12:38pm
J-Mar:

I don't know if it's still up, Cecile, but if you go to the Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh, see if you can still check out Huang Xiang's "House Poem" -- Huang is an exiled Chinese poet who painted poetry all over the walls of his house: http://www.mattress.org/index.cfm?event=COAP.

I've never seen the exhibit in Pittsburgh, but he came to Nashville and did an incredible installation at our public library.
  12:38pm
Devin:

Mmm, saffron sheet... I'll take 2.
  12:39pm
ALF of Hip Hop Slam:

How about a 4:19 Piano Bryce?!
  12:40pm
bryce:

billy and i smoked 2/3 of a toy piano last week!
  12:40pm
still b/p:

That's a different key of C.
  12:42pm
bryce:

a piano lid
  12:43pm
ALF of Hip Hop Slam:

Outstanding! LOL!

Bruce:

Re: Nancarrow
On Kevin Blechdom's
http://il.youtube.com/user/babyshplargher
page, I found a link to
http://il.youtube.com/user/playerpianoJH
All the studies are there, it's youtube so the the sound quality sucks, but I found it to be a great thrill to 'see' the compositions roll by, especially since I know the studies so well and knew what to anticipate.

Enjoy!
  12:46pm
Drummer Some:

Cecile, I haven't got out much yet. DId go to a Pirates game at (hold your nose) PNC Park. It has to be one of the most gorgeous settings for a major league game. As long as you don't watch what's happening on the field, of course. I second Bryce's endorsement of the Mattress Factory. Also, the Warhol Museum is a sure bet.
  12:49pm
Bruce:

While you're on the piano kick, how 'bout some Annie Gosfield in honor of her show at The Stone tonight?
  12:54pm
bryce:

kevyb's a peach!!

someone in the tubeosphere's done something similar with hoppin' ligeti numbers as well. really great to see.

believe it or not, i think we actually might not have any annie gosfield in the library?!
  12:56pm
Bruce:

kevyb is frickin' awesome! I can't believe I've got an earworm of the juicy pop goodness of an *Olsen Twins* cover (and loving every minute of it!)
  12:59pm
Looms:

What a terrible, frightening, nasty voice...
  12:59pm
bryce:

RAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
  12:59pm
Bruce:

It's pronounced Nan-crow!
2 syllables!
At least that how they say it in his hometown, Texarkana
  12:59pm
bryce:

you can't fool me, he's MEXICAN!

aw crap, i burned a cigarette hole in my smock.
  1:00pm
still b/p:

"Do you know what he did...you're c_ _ _ ing DJ?"
  1:01pm
Duke of Earl Grey:

WXHD?!?!? Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
  1:03pm
nic:

slurpy _cool
  1:07pm
coelacanth:

Denman clearly has got sheets of artemisia...probably King size.
  1:10pm
Looms:

@Cecile: i really don't know why i quoted Vic Chesnutt yesterday apropos of SOOA's gig in Nantes back in 2007; the honoured man was Nikki Sudden actually, and i had The Jewel Thief's artwork in mind when i typed that bullshit! I'm getting old...
  1:13pm
Bruce:

I once worked for a digital radiography company, around '95-'96 and had a technical support call to a dentist in Texarkana. I told him, "You know, I'm a big fan of one of your native sons." He groaned, and I said "Conlon Nancarrow" (pronouncing it
nan-ca-ro, which took him a second to figure out), he said, "You mean Conlon Nan-crow, whew, I thought you were going to say Ross Perot!". He had know Conlon's brother (the far right winger) personally and met Conlon at his brother's funeral.
I can still hear his voice when he said, "That was one of the most unusual men I've ever met in my life."
  1:17pm
bryce:

hahaaa, that's hilarious!
  1:38pm
raga:

cecile: i second the mattress factory and warhol. also check out the wood street gallery and space gallery downtown. the installations there tend to be hit or miss. fallingwater is a bit out but i think it's worth the trip. if you'll be entertaining kids, i recommend the children's museum on the north side and the science center/sportsworks near the stadiums.
  1:39pm
Cecile:

thanks raga!
  1:39pm
Carmichael:

Hey Bryce ... <huff .. puff ..> Just got in the door ..... <wheeze ...> Sorry I'm late ... <cough ... hack!>
  1:42pm
Looms:

I wonder if this sound on Terry Fox's track is a prepared piano, a dulcimer or a harpsichord.
  1:43pm
Looms:

Great track anyway.
  1:44pm
Carmichael:

PMD, you can be my friend, my buddy AND my pal.
  1:52pm
PMD:

@C awww... um gotta figure out how to find you. Maybe annie can introduce us on fb
  1:54pm
owen:

interesting sound, reminds me quite a bit of FM3's buddha machine loops
  1:55pm
ken of brooklyn:

As always Bryce, FANTASTIC SHOW!!!!!!!!
  1:56pm
raga:

telekinescalate your email address. secured in bubble wrap.
  1:58pm
still b/p:

Cecile -- Sister just sent me a good stack of thoughts for out-o'-towners -- some overlap, some new. I'll email to travel-info-facilitator Bryce, maybe he can forward if you send him a message...?
  1:59pm
Cecile:

That would be great. Bryce should also be able to see my email. too. Thank you so much!
  2:00pm
Cecile:

And Bryce, if you would send my email address to raga, too, that would be great.

You sudddenly being promoted to my social secretary and all. :D
  2:00pm
bryce:

sure, no problem!!! please include:

1) email address
2) SSN
3) a 200-word essay on why you hate pianos and/or cellos
  2:01pm
Cecile:

1) I'll send it in a minute.
2) nuh-uh
3) I'll never forgive them for what they did to my people.
  2:02pm
Carmichael:

Because I'm both a curmudgeon and a Luddite, I stay completely away from Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, or anything by Dr. Neil Clark Warren. But I have attached my e-mail for Bryce to forward to anyone with a twitch or shifty eyes.
  2:05pm
βrian:

Uncle! Uncle!
  2:14pm
bryce:

NO! YOU LISTEN SOME M O R E!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2:16pm
still b/p:

I hate pianos because they don't let me instantly, magically play like Basie or Van Cliburn. The rest of the words to make up the 200 would be bitter arpeggios of profanity in a gutteral rush.
  2:17pm
βrian:

My remaining tympanum cries out.
  2:20pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

well, I had to miss the last half hour of the show for "Adobe repairs" on my computer.
  2:20pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

...seems my mud hut was melting in the rain...
  2:21pm
Carmichael:

I don't like to play instruments that weigh more than I do. Wayyy more than I do ...
  2:21pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

keep your hands away from your organ, then
  2:22pm
bryce:

you & dce should go in on a thatched piano!
  2:29pm
Carmichael:

Makes perfect sense. The strings could be made of string.
  2:31pm
raga:

wow. wonderful, simply wonderful. this puts me into the perfect frame of mind for the unpleasant thing i must do next.
  2:31pm
bryce:

i had a silicone piano, but when i tuned it up, it collapsed on itself and formed a bouncy chime ball.
  2:33pm
Looms:

Lois V. Vierk is the next artist i'll check out. This piece is... Wow!
  2:36pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

this piece is how things are going to look and sound for me around midnight tonight
  2:40pm
bryce:

hey looms, that was for 8 cellos; the same cd (SIMOOM) has another for 5 electric guitars and one for 6 trumpets....
  2:42pm
Looms:

Just reading this on Discogs. By the way, thanks a lot for introducing me to Idjah Hadidjah last week, i really dig this record!
  2:45pm
bryce:

oh cool! i really love her. not too electrified or drummachinified either, like everything seems to get eventually....
  2:45pm
bartleby:

Can't listen to this now I am at work but this is a definite for when I get home later
  2:49pm
still b/p:

Always had a fondness for the word "simoom."
  2:52pm
Looms:

Agreed. It's my first Jaipong record, i'll try to hear more artists involved this musical style.
  2:52pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

some lame smooth jazz hold music is drowning Penderecki out for me...
  2:53pm
this is heavier than metal:

recent penderecki interview: http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1234
  2:54pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Bryce is editng himself again
  2:54pm
bryce:

wow, that interview!!!!! thanks!
  2:56pm
Marco D Argento:

I noded off for an hour. Has anyone heard Bryce speak on mic?
  2:57pm
Looms:

Yeah, twice! It was dreadful, buddy!
  2:58pm
bryce:

BLEHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
  2:58pm
bryce:

y'all: see you in your sleeps
  2:59pm

I'll never sleep again...
