Unaccompanied Music

What is to be said in the case of a re-recorded song, reinterpreted by the same artist – at a much later date?  I am thinking of Randy Newman’s Songbook I for example.

Who Said That?

“Trust anonymity.”

The Jurisdiction of Modern Physics

Today’s Important Thought: “We are still under the jurisdiction of the physics that ruled the dinosaurs.”  (Fred Flintstone)

The Jumbled Silence

“It is what I can see makes me inarticulate.”

Notes

There is a problem in talking about the commodification of objects in so far as this description, of ‘objects’, supposes we know what these things are … I mean not in commonsensical terms but their full blown metaphysical idea.

Imagine two people arguing about a ‘what’: “A what is what it is, obviously.”  ”But what if what you think the thing that it is isn’t what it is?”  ”But wait a minute, what I say is true: because it analyses how you regard this what!”  ”Certainly, what I think it is is what it is – however ….”

The permission of red things

Imagine this space red.

“I was thinking of someone …”

“I was thinking of someone and looking at two ball point pens neatly arranged side by side on my desk and it struck me that there was me and her.  She was the red pen, I was the black.”
