Bi-applaud

Bi-plaudo.

Very well done with the rec, very bad not to know these gentlemen, they seem quite illustrious. In the absence of samples, I will snag a taste from the web.

Tomorrow will be a tough night for you; I recommend autogenic training and zabaglione all day long. If I lived two or three kilometers further north, I wouldn’t miss the event, but I think I’ll have to resort to a review. Would yours be objective enough? (This is where a smiley would go, but I just can’t bring myself to use one...)

Oops, the number...

I think you should space out the reviews a bit more: take the Dave Brubeck you just reviewed, I personally miss THAT Brubeck, I’m struggling to get hold of it and to find the time and way to listen to it properly; at this point, this other intriguing proposal arrives, and what do I do? I believe that well-written pages about "classics" from the same author (in your case) need time to settle, meaning let’s give Brubeck a bit of breathing room, let’s re-read him, let’s allow time for those who are re-listening to come back to your page and continue the discussion—Brubeck deserves it, in my opinion, just as Mobley will in his own time. That’s what I think... having said that, the quintets/sextets promoted by this man have always seemed quite interesting to me, especially when the great Lee Morgan is involved in such projects. "Disconsolate and stubborn sax" seems like a wonderful definition; this record, which I don’t own, I listened to a couple of times in the car (on cassette!!): the poor sound quality and the distraction from driving didn’t allow me to appreciate it properly, so once I finish with Brubeck, maybe I’ll take another listen in CD format...

What a great idea to review the anthem, which I find rather ugly from a purely artistic standpoint. I get goosebumps, however, when I hear that wonderful one from Brazil, can you believe it? I really wouldn’t know what grades to give.

Damn, what a successful review this is, more than the one on Paris Hilton or those about Korn!! I agree with every word pronounced by Odradek, especially that Zidane did it all himself. It's disgraceful that he was awarded the title of best player, and scandalous to have any opinion on the episode that doesn't involve absolute condemnation. No appeals. I play basketball in the minor leagues, and countless times I've heard the lowest insults directed at me and all my relatives, going back 12 generations. They’ve beat me up for no reason, tripped me while play was stopped, mocked me in front of everyone. I've always given back as good as I got, subtly, working shrewdly, and almost always shook hands at the end of the game. But I've never taken anyone down with a headbutt, let alone on a global broadcast at the last moment of my career. No appeals, Zizou.

I also like going against the grain, but I just can't do it here... The alternative take on the character of Mozart is nice, elsewhere too muffled, trapped in a hyper-human dimension. Light and not pedantic, the track by track piques the curiosity of those like me who are unfamiliar with this work. That said, without taking anything away from Hal's skill, everything fades in the face of the episode of polychromy in the text (first case in debaser?). Is this your work, Hal? If so, add a + to the 5.

I know Kyuss well, one of my favorite bands. I think you’re referring to the last two minutes of Lateralus, that piece, the one with "ride the spiral," to be clear. It's one of the most beautiful moments of the album, no doubt, listened to at full volume a thousand times. But the earlier albums were really something else, at least for me, de gustibus.
