Is the contest to transcribe what he's saying/singing?

"It's Tampa in a shirt."
Avatar Tue. 12/6/16 3:09pm Kurt Gottschalk:

There's a horrifying documentary called"Lonely Boy", I think,
about Anka and it's a fascinating window.

  Tue. 12/6/16 3:24pm Dean:

That is crazy, but then I wonder what are the other "contemporary classical" nominees? Sting or something?
Avatar ♥ Tue. 12/6/16 3:24pm V Priceless:

did u see Buzz Aldrin's doc @ the hospital in NZ is none other than Dr. David Bowie??

I heard that Kaija Saariaho is taking over bass and vocals in Winger
Avatar Tue. 12/6/16 3:26pm Kurt Gottschalk:

veepy say wha?
  Tue. 12/6/16 3:26pm Miguel:

There's a leaf blower outside that works very well with this piece. Thought you should know.
  Tue. 12/6/16 3:26pm Dean:

An interesting field. I don't really know the others, although I've heard of Higdon, and Muti conducts the Bates with Chicago.
Avatar ♥ Tue. 12/6/16 3:27pm V Priceless:

yeah..I thought it was a joke, but it's true! www.abc.net.au...
  Tue. 12/6/16 3:28pm Dean:

Hmmm, in another category the ECM Gesualdo is very attractive. I love the Hilliard Tenebrae from ages ago on ECM.
Avatar Tue. 12/6/16 3:29pm Kurt Gottschalk:

rich groo, ha!
miguel, brilliant.
dean, that gesualdo cd is gorgeous.

This is a nominee this year: http://www.gramophone.co.uk/review/gesualdo-moro-lasso-o-crux-benedicta-dean-carlo

And this should be in every collection: https://www.discogs.com/Gesualdo-The-Hilliard-Ensemble-Tenebrae/release/1297096 Lord, it's from 1991!

[Oops. Misread. Thought you wrote, "what gesualdo cd..." Did you mean the new one or the old?
Avatar Tue. 12/6/16 3:31pm Kurt Gottschalk:

the new one, dean. i liked it a lot.
  Tue. 12/6/16 3:32pm Dean:

Will investigate, thanks.

Yow, and the first volume in a series of Penderecki conducting his own music! On Warner Classics!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Tue. 12/6/16 3:38pm listener james from westwood:

@Richard Gruesome—Aaaaah, I knew my viewership of MST3K would come in handy! They gave that film the business at one point. Mel Tormé was also in it but not as a singer.
Avatar Tue. 12/6/16 3:39pm Kurt Gottschalk:

totally read "singer" as "sniper"
  Tue. 12/6/16 3:42pm Dean:

I'm thinking font style and color on black background are toying with our eyes.
Avatar Tue. 12/6/16 3:43pm Kurt Gottschalk:

i'm thinking vitriol and end times is toying with my mind
  Tue. 12/6/16 3:44pm Dean:

Sorry, a CSS won't help with that.
Avatar Tue. 12/6/16 3:47pm Kurt Gottschalk:

the third coast percussion plays steve reich album that got nominated is pretty nice as well. i've played that on the show, i think the ecm gesualdo as well.
  Tue. 12/6/16 3:59pm Miguel:

This is beautiful music. But it makes me want to eat bacon for some reason.
Avatar Tue. 12/6/16 4:01pm Kurt Gottschalk:

bacon veggieburger, miguel?
  Tue. 12/6/16 4:03pm Miguel:

Mmm, my fav! But no, not today. Just bacon.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Tue. 12/6/16 4:23pm listener james from westwood:

@Kurt, being the Velvet Fog would be the perfect cover for secretly being a sniper/international assassin. Who'd have said no to Mel?
Avatar Tue. 12/6/16 4:27pm Kurt Gottschalk:

excellent point ljfww!
(and now i see what geezerette meant before.)
  Tue. 12/6/16 4:28pm Dean:

It just occurred to me that this Reich piece is spelling something out in Morse Code.

Tut! "Sophistry."
Avatar ♥ Tue. 12/6/16 4:29pm geezerette:

Kurt@ 3:43, It's impossible to both know that and pretend not to so you can do all the things we've always done. Incredibly stressful. Music always helps.
Avatar Tue. 12/6/16 4:33pm Kurt Gottschalk:

impossible, geez? impossible?
Avatar ♥ Tue. 12/6/16 4:36pm geezerette:

I meant impossible to bear, day after day. I'm trying so hard,like we all are stay human, be able to laugh without bitterness, not to give in. I could say more, but couldn't we all.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Tue. 12/6/16 4:42pm Jeff Golick:

Was hoping that was it, @Dean, but it doesn't fit the lips. And if the lips don't fit, we must acquit.
Avatar Tue. 12/6/16 4:43pm Kurt Gottschalk:

geez, yes, yes.

This is a beautiful piece. Thanks Kurt
  Tue. 12/6/16 5:03pm Dean:

Coincidence. During the last track I was wondering, KG, whether you'd heard Fretwork's Petrucci record.
