This is too ironic and I cant stand the song but I'm listening to belive it or not;

Queen of the Night aria from "The Magic Flute".... Jesus! Can you imagine a human voice hitting those notes? Fucking amazing!

That's exactly it...when you hear someone doing a wild arpeggio thing with their voice in an opera, you know the character isn't human. It's like when the Tibetan monks in Lhasa do the Skeleton dance and do all these weird, unnatural, halty moves: it's a human pretending to be something otherworldly, like a spirit or a deity.

The Queen of the Night isn't a woman, she's a Goddess — specifically, Nuit. And Monostatos is supposed to be Geb, Her lover. Opera writers specifically put that in there to intimidate and unnerve the audience.

I would have liked to have heard that.... that is one of my favorite arias... but be carefull... I would think that you would have to alter some of your body parts to reach those high notes...

.... well, I would, anyway....

Did you do the opera at all? I can't remember you playing any leads in it.. but chorus?

I was downstairs, with the other nerdy instrumentalists.

I think i played a lot of off-beats.

Ha, ha. There's this wonderful PBS documentary called "Sing Faster" about the stagehands and SF operas Ring Cycle. They do this great speeded up photography of the entire thing and have the stagehands playing poker during scenes and a dragon. Much better than the real thing. (IMHO)

The dragon's from Siegfried. It's a stage effect. i'm sort of melding the scenes together to an impression of what made it a fun movie, and so it's all smusched into one.

Endless internal tape-loop of

You play ethinicky jazz to parade your snazz on your 5 grand stereo, bragging how you know that the niggers* feel cold and the slums have so much soul

brought on by the humbling remarks of yesterday.

Is there any other way considering so many labels will not license for this? Makes me want to hear Radio Soulwax ~ Bootylicious v. Smells Like Teen Spirit and I think I shall.

I have no idea... I doubt it. But if you own the stuff anyway, I don't think it makes a difference. It shouldn't. Okay that is my opinion.
