I play music that is old and that is new. Some of it is digital while some is analog. It is from many different countries; sometimes it is loud and at other times it is quiet.

I usually don't post before the show, but I went to the PhD defense of a friend this week (thesis title "At the margins of noise. A study of noise music and DIY") and I wanted to share the long summary without disrupting the flow of the show:
Although noise music has only recently become an object of interest for academic research, it still represents a form of art emblematic of the underground music scene. It is characterized by a radical approach which implies using noise as work material, playing with form and development, and hybridizing its stylistic territories. This approach is reflected by playing practices in which the emphasis is no longer laid on the supremacy of instruments and composition, but rather on playful and makeshift experimentation. Musical quality is not assessed on the artist’s technical skills anymore, while the listening conditions call for a specific implication of both body and environment. The practices of production, organization, and diffusion of music, borrowing from the éthos of DIY, place autonomy, versatility, and amateurism at the heart of this art world. This PhD research, based on musical analyses, press archives, field surveys, topographies, and an ethnographic study of the Parisian scene, proposes an interdisciplinary approach marked by musicology, aesthetics, and social sciences. Its aim is to question the way noise music and its specific social practices challenge the manner in which we conventionally apprehend what we consider as music, and even “good” music, the image of the musician, the artistic intermediaries or the stage, in light of what seems to constitute a new contemporary paradigm of experimentation.

Swan Boats always remind me of a (possibly apocryphal) story George Harrison and Eric Clapton are sitting in the record companies office hashing out the contractually obligated song Badge when Ringo Starr walks in and starts talking about swan boats. Harrison & Clapton look at each other and say: that is going in this song.

Once or twice, I’ve compared the dubbed version of a Ghibli film to the subtitled version, and found surprisingly I preferred the dubbed version. Normally I prefer subtitles. I don’t know any Japanese obviously, but the dubs of those movies always have great voices and the translations are smoother in English (though maybe not as accurate? IDK).

I wish I'd kept up my Spanish. It was really coming along in senior year of high school; I could follow lots of my Cuban American friends' parents' rapid-fire conversational lingo, and a lot of the Spanish channels in the NYC area. Then I placed highly enough on the Advanced Placement exam to skip language in college, and over the high school-to-college summer my skills diminished to sub-Sesame Street level.

Decades ago, my Spanish classes started with a bizarre-o irregular verb, “gustar” — terrible idea! So then everybody tried to use “me” w/all the verbs instead of “yo”. That guy had no business teaching Spanish.

Frankly, i think you'd be well-served to drop that phrase into your everyday encounters, especially with those who understand German

I took German lessons for about a month and wound up w/ a Bavarian accent but no understanding whatever of the language.

@james I'd call it a huge success for myself when I get to Sub-Sesame Street level from this all-manzanas level. It's a bummer that it takes so long to learn a language, and yet you can forget it in a very short time!

It was in a comic book supposed to help students learn German. Thing is the teacher in my first year fell ill a month in and wasn't replaced, then the second year teacher thought we were fourth year students and would only speak German.

Right, but Thai is also tonal and I didn’t have as much trouble learning a few phrases there, or remembering them, but maybe their tones aren’t as heavily implemented. Or maybe they just have so many tourists that they’re more used to visitors massacring their language. That’s probably it.
