So we sing to say we want to make it right

[sovay]

Today was extremely tiring (although we got health insurance out of it!) but in the last half-hour I have heard two really excellent things:

TwoSet Violin, "Pachelbel's Chicken"

Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp, "So We All"

They are both very different applications of classical music and they both make me happy. Also Hestia made a literal pillow fort out of the couch:



Good cat.

P.S. And I just found out that Rich Horton's review of Forget the Sleepless Shores is now online at Locus. So it is really not as though I had a month of book and then it was over. That makes me happy, too.

Pachelbel's Chicken

...is the treatment that goddamn music deserves.

Also, health insurance is boring to obtain and wonderful to have.

I don't even dislike the original! I just agree that being played on a squeaky chicken improves almost anything.

Also, health insurance is boring to obtain and wonderful to have.

I am looking forward to not owing my life savings for my body being the way it is.

I... what? No. Just... all yours. So very NMK.

Like, it's hilarious for about the first minute, I'll agree because of the concept. But, no.

For me it just got funnier as it went along: it commits so thoroughly and so seriously to its absurd concept, even to squeaking the fiddly little sixteenth-note descant out of a rubber chicken which we weren't sure it was going to be capable of playing notes that fast. It was like watching a high-wire act. An incredibly, sincerely stupid high-wire act.
