What of the verse, the bridge and the chorus?

1. It is very likely that I will be offline for the rest of today, as I am seeing the American stage premiere of Franz Schreker's Der ferne Klang (1912) at Bard College tonight. My mother was offered five-dollar rush tickets for being an alumna. At that price, I can almost afford it. Hello, upstate New York.

2. In praise of Ben Burtt, static interference, and the lightsaber.

3. Holy mother of little green apples, somebody fanvidded Eduard Graf von Taaffe.

I mean, as a kind of diabolical Machiavellian puppeteer. But nonetheless: MY BRAIN. MY SWEET PRECIOUS FUCKING BRAIN.

Later.

Hello, upstate New York.

That's about fifteen miles from here. Wave wave!

I'm delighted you're able to attend the premiere, and I hope you have a wonderful time.

Interesting piece. Thanks!

Congratulations to your nearly-kinsman! Not every Austro-Hungarian noble gets his own fanvid.

That said, there are some very odd vids out there--I once saw one for the War-of-the-Three-Kingdoms-era Royalist song "When the King Enjoys His Own Again", although it was a bit disappointing, really. This one you've linked is much better done.
