Interesting video. Hamelin plays like he is possessed - which he may very well be, given some of the repertoire* he has taken on and mastered like no other. I’ll give the concerto a listen [again after 35 + years] sometime in the next week or two. Have to admit though, Busoni is one of those late Romantic/early 20 C composers I have never managed to “get into”. Not that I didn’t try either. Just leaves me stone cold. Give me Sir Arnold Bax any day over Busoni. check out his Hyperion recording of Villa-Lobos’ Rude Poema

Here’s Coyne’s piece that he wrote in response to an insane ‘a woman is anyone with ladyfeelz’ piece they for some reason thought belonged on the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s website. They took it down when some tranny goons complained. https://archive.ph/psT4I

Thank you, Brian J Foley, for pointing out that the nearly 1,000,000 jobs revised downward is less than 1% of the total number of jobs. Your 1 follower has truly been blessed by your wisdom.

Yep, and COVID didn't come from a Wuhan lab...

@Axtremus said in A difference in service costs...: Would one dealer be able to pull the maintenance records and see previous work done by other dealers? Yes.

Mama Mia, they don’t like to be away from their families!

@George-K said in Gould sings and sometimes makes sense: Also, @horace, didn't you play the C-minor sonata? 11:00 Yep. My least successful recital performance. I didn't love the piece, didn't prepare too well, and the result was not much of musical value. I stopped playing for several years after. One of these days I'll tackle another beethoven sonata.

As somebody who has seen a rib broken doing chest compressions, I would say the bear needs to be a bit less vigorous.

Can't view the thread (that's on me, not you), but I wonder if there are any I haven't seen yet. Sometimes I see lists of the "craziest things caught on tape", you know... stunts, car crashes, near misses, and what not, but I always think... sometimes it's easy to forget that there is video of two Boeing 767s being flown into some of the tallest buildings in the world.

@jon-nyc said in Flame On: ICE wanted him but NYC refused. Isn't that ... illegal? Perhaps not, I don't know who has jurisdiction here.

Biggest pile of junk my daughter ever owned was an Equinox. Did y'all anoint that Terrain or maybe make a deal with the Devil?

I’m pretty sure that female boobies get more attention than males… As do female tits…
