It wasn't a political dispute, it was the thread about FZ's serious music. Describing the ensemble modern's performance of his music as lacking "the
joy and spontaneity of playing music" is beyond me.

I love that album. Except for Greggery.
Checked up on it and you do get a bit up in arms for that one...

Aaaanyway last night I spent the entire length of the Zoot Allures album trying to find the five kanji FZ used to attempt to spell his name. Couldn't
find the last one. Blast.
The first character is pronounced Fu and means dis- or un-, etc;
The second is pronounced Ran and means civil war or riot;
The third is pronounced Ku and means pain or anxiety;
The fourth was a lot harder to find and is pronounced either Zatsu or Zo and means rough.
Foreign names and words are spelled using Katakana in Japanese: Frank Zappa spells
フランク・ザッパ.
At the Tim Curry-forum, somebody posted a previously unknown Robert Klein-show from 1979 with Tim in it: played it and found that it also has Flo
& Eddie! Great listen but you'll have to sign up for them first.

Yesterday I spent a few hours roaming the town of Geldrop, looking for a piece of black string to repair a necklace. I never thought it'd be so hard
to find a simple black string.
Today I'll be spending NYE with a friend, so I won't look back here until tomorrow.
Happy New Year!

Thanks Punky!
Had a NYE party, 4 gals in total. Was fun. The most absurd moment was when we're at like 2AM. My friend put on a CD that friends of her made for
another friend: a CD with deliberate awful songs and a few comedy blurbs. (for DED: among them Herman Finkers's Almelo considering the another friend
is from Almelo: "One traffic light is red, another one is green, there's always something to do in Almelo"). As we all sat in our respective seats
listening to it, man if someone had shot a photo of it it'd be entitled "World's Worst Party."
My friend is getting rid of her piano: it's old and hard to tune, but blue and her father insulated it entirely from the inside. I got to say goodbye
to it when my friend played a beautiful song on it, was a very emotional moment.
It's the same piano she plays here and here (introductory talk is about that song: it was performed by a guy who had just committed suicide when she played that song).

Are you meaning to say that the guy who originally performed the song had recently committed suicide when she played that song or did her playing that
song cause him to commit suicide?

The guy was Antonie Kamerling, he was an actor who had a hit single years ago (the song they played). Drop-dead gorgeous, talented actor, with a
wonderful wife and two lovely kids, but he was unfortunately suffering manic depression and committed suicide. While my friend was studying that song
to play it at an indoor concert for friends, that I attended.

That's what I thought. My question was partly tongue in cheek, but I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for clarifying.

Said friend had a bit of a surprise on Saturday morning. There's a radio channel that does a Wake Up Call thing, where friends of the victim visit the
house and wake up the victim, live on air. So they woke her up a bit too early. But the radio was funny and she's surprisingly articulate when she's
fresh out of bed.

Not much happening to me, but my sister got in a train where there was a confused man who threatened somebody and said he had a weapon, and that
caused a lot of traffic mayhem and cops in bullet-proof vest making sure nobody'd leave the train.

Baked speculaas and didn't get burned. Yay!
Makes up for the disastrous lentil soup I made this weekend, where I cut my wrist, my hand and my little finger within the time space of five minutes.
And then I had to apologize to my sister for the soup not being entirely vegetarian since it might have some BB blood in it (the one in my pinky was
bleeding badly).

stay away from knives and sharp objects, or wear thick gloves.

 Or get a better night's sleep. 
Found a piece of music I've been trying to identify for a few months, was a very pleasant surprise!

Not much happening here... I'm knitting a lot of pink elephants for a friend who drinks too much. And who loves Pink Elephants On Parade.

Went to Leiden to visit a museum that had an exhibition on the Jordan archaeological dig Petra. Was great.
Hit the Leiden town afterwards. Found a music store (they still have those, wow) where the CDs, DVDs and vinyl was stacked in barely orderly fashion
(there was a "classical" corner but that was about it) from the ground to the ceiling, rows thick. Perfect set-up for some slapstick of somebody
wanting the bottom DVD.
