Blake's bell curve

This is my mirror that I spit the culture I take in back out and swirl in it like a child with fingerpaint.

Recent expansion

I jokingly said that I am trying to develop myself culturally when I put in this DVD “To Play and to Fight”.  I had heard it being plugged during the WPR classical station fundraising drive, and decided to get it from the Library.

I was excited to watch a documentary in Spanish because I have recently started trying to speak a little Spanish everyday in an effort to learn it.  I was also excited to hear people play music passionately, especially in a genre I usually thought was filled with stuffy old folks.

This movie was amazing and I have totally developed a love for Classical Music.  I had to call my friend Carl in for some advice about what I should be digging.  He was forthcoming with me about the eras of “Classical Music”.

So here is his list

Baroque

Bach

Handel

Romantic

Mozart

Beethoven

Brahms

More Recent

Stravinsky

Ravel

Prokofive

Strauss (Rickart) *apparently he was a Nazi sympathizer.

“

My Dad owned a Record Store called Penny Lane. I wanted to take it over for the gumball machine. Now I am his employee at his bookstore and no gum machine. Good thing we evolve with time!

This quote is great.

“Never take it seriously. If you never take it seriosuly, you never get hurt. You never get hurt, you always have fun, and if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends.”

maryclare: jonoh: New favorite show. Crazy shit goes down AFTER PEOPLE. Some examples: D.C. Floods. Beavers take over. Gators eat all of the pets in New Orleans. Water comes in and is like “FUCK THIS! I MAKE UP 80% OF EVERYTHING! I RULE ALL” Mother Nature gets all pissed that we didn’t clean up after ourselves (like any mother would) and comes in with natural disasters to clean up. Eventually everything falls apart. Jellyfish disintegrate inside the aquariums. Downtown L.A. becomes overgrown, like a jungle. And that’s just from the two episodes I’ve watched. I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! :) Seems like a must watch.
