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

"It's Tampa in a shirt."

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

That is crazy, but then I wonder what are the other "contemporary classical" nominees? Sting or something?

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

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 Swag For Life Member 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 Swag For Life Member Tue. 12/6/16 3:29pm Kurt Gottschalk:

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

[Oops. Misread. Thought you wrote, "what gesualdo cd..." Did you mean the new one or the old?

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

Yow, and the first volume in a series of Penderecki conducting his own music! On Warner Classics!

@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 Swag For Life Member 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.

i'm thinking vitriol and end times is toying with my mind

Sorry, a CSS won't help with that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 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 Swag For Life Member 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 Swag For Life Member Tue. 12/6/16 4:27pm Kurt Gottschalk:

excellent point ljfww!
(and now i see what geezerette meant before.)

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

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 Swag For Life Member 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.

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