Meh, why not?: February 2008
http://garrettkw.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Meh, why not? This'll probably be mostly about music, but what's really keeping it from being about anything else? Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Some Connections Between Miles and Bjork. Which isn't even in commercial production yet. Another link between Bjork and Miles Davis is how they treat their own melodies in live performances. One thing I`m always astounded by when I listen to The Complete Concert 1964: My Funny Valentine and Four More. And here's that recording of All Blues. Links to this post.

Meh, why not? This'll probably be mostly about music, but what's really keeping it from being about anything else? Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Another problem however is a plain lack of organization. And to help, I have decided to make a checklist of sounds that I want. Train approaching warning (from the platform). Imminent departure (different tunes on different platforms). Assorted recorded announcements on the limited express train. Assorted spoken announcements on the local train. Links to this post.

Meh, why not?: October 2006

Meh, why not? This'll probably be mostly about music, but what's really keeping it from being about anything else? Thursday, October 05, 2006. Is it art or just simply crap? Taking this very idea of faulty machinery to yet another level, I want to pose this question: Can the music created with the use of faulty electronics be considered chance or aleatoric music much like that of John Cage? Or does this border on trying to legitimize shitty music? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Meh, why not? This'll probably be mostly about music, but what's really keeping it from being about anything else? Saturday, December 22, 2007. Another bit of Ethnomusicology. It was a while ago, but back in October I went to a Taiko. Although this image is generally a bit blurry, you can still see how much the performers wind-up to strike some of the larger drums. And here's a short video. Where you can see some of the grandeur that people portray during performances. Links to this post. I'm currently l...

Meh, why not? This'll probably be mostly about music, but what's really keeping it from being about anything else? Tuesday, November 27, 2007. An Update Just for the Sake of Updating. I haven't had too many pearls of wisdom that I wanted to share with the world lately, but there is one thing I definitely want to recommend. I was listening to an old episode of This American Life. A couple of weeks ago which encouraged listeners to remix a song. Will let you have as many tracks as are necessary for remixin...

tapas y toros: February 2008
http://tapasytoros.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
A catalog of personal impressions and experiences during an American's indefinite stay in Madrid. Monday, February 18. I spotted this big dove-hand statue in the main pedestrian street of the city. I thought it was perdy. Just as a note, Málaga is the birthplace of Picasso (as well as the less respected Antonio Banderas) and so many public displays pay homage to him, his work and ideas. Visiting he Picasso Museum on my last day is one of the best memories I have of the trip. The beach was pretty chilly a...

tapas y toros: January 2009

A catalog of personal impressions and experiences during an American's indefinite stay in Madrid. Saturday, January 3. Oh me, Oh my. how quickly time has flown by. And I have no record of the last three months! I've left you all in the dark and for that I'm terribly sorry. This time I'll blame it on the dismal internet connection we have in our apartment (actually we're not paying for it but rather mooching off our neighbor, known to us simply as 3Com). So those are the facts, not bad, huh?

A catalog of personal impressions and experiences during an American's indefinite stay in Madrid. Friday, September 12. So, since I haven't been in Madrid since mid-July, I figured I didn't have to add any entries either. And hey, it's my damn blog, I'm not gonna write if I'm not feeling it. and I haven't been feeling it. "So where have you been? Ya know, in retrospect it wasn't all bad, I think I just stayed too long. I took a few pictures while home so I thought I'd share with you some of the highl...

A catalog of personal impressions and experiences during an American's indefinite stay in Madrid. Sunday, May 4. Sunday, May 04, 2008. Nude Beach and Sushi. That night we hit the bars with some of her friends, all great people. There is a different breed of bars and restaurants in Barcelona, they're all so inspired and original. Some are kitschy, some sullen, others bright and colorful. there's a wide variety. It was seriously the perfect vacations. Thanks Laura! Sunday, May 04, 2008. Sunday, May 04, 2008.
