well thats what they said about woody allen.
I didn't call the next day, in fact, I waited two more days before I called. A burning feeling plowing through my chest. I couldn't catch my breath as the phone rang. A girl answered, I thought it was her. I said hello and she told me who she was. I asked to speak to her, and was put on hold. Then I heard her voice. She was extremely busy at the moment, and really couldn't talk. She gave me her cell number and told me to call later. I did. She was still busy. I haven't spoken to her since, and now I worry that I went too far, that she won't answer anymore. I hope I'm wrong. I just need to talk to her one more time. Then I will be done. So close... so close.
She decided she didn't want to speak. Sent me a very impersonal text message letting me know of her decision. I had no choice. I decided to send her a very personal reply. I let go of her, of love, knowing that even though I did nothing wrong, she just couldn't see me any other way. Oh well, at least I tried.
Goodbye.

C, E-flat and G go into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve minors," and E-flat leaves. C and G have an open fifth between them and after a few drinks, G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me, I'll just be a second."
A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor and sends him out. Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and shouts, "Get out now. You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight."
Next night, E-flat, not easily deflated, comes into the bar in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender (who used to have a nice corporate job until his company downsized) says: "You're looking pretty sharp tonight. Come on in. This could be a major development." And in fact, E-flat takes off his suit and everything else and stands there au naturel. Eventually, C, who had passed out under the bar the night before, begins to sober up and realizes in horror that he's under a rest.
So, C goes to trial, is convicted of contributing to the diminution of a minor and sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an up scale correctional facility. The conviction is overturned on appeal, however, and C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.
The bartender decides, however, that since he's only had tenor so patrons, the soprano out in the bathroom and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest and closes the bar.
Take a melody
Simple as can be
Give it some words and
Sweet harmony
Raise your voices
All day long now
Love grows strong now
Sing a melody of love, oh love
Love is the magic
Love is the story
Love is the melody
We all can sing
Love is the power
Love is the glory
Love is the beauty
And the joy of spring
2,000+ FORM “KING CANUTE” DESIGNED BY THOM YORKE FOR PLANETARY ART SHOW
English
http://earth.350.org/press-room/uk/
More than 2,000 people braved the wind and rain today to form an image of King Canute designed by Radiohead lead-singer Thom Yorke. Yorke explained, “The plan is to make images visible from the skies to remind those in Cancun that we can't keep putting this off.”
The public art display was designed to send a climate warning to political leaders in the run-up to the UN Climate Talks in Cancun. According to legend, King Canute set his throne by the sea shore and commanded the tide to halt, only to be soaked by the ocean’s waves. Just as Canute realized his own hubris, world leaders today must realize the dangers of ignoring climate change and rise to solving the challenge.
“We need politicians today to have a ‘Canute’ moment,” said 350.org founder, American author and environmentalist Bill McKibben. “Scientists are clearly warning there is too much carbon in the atmosphere. World leaders can't avoid that reality any longer."350.org is named after 350 parts per million, what scientists say is the safe upper limit of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. NASA calculates the current level of CO2 at more than 390 ppm.
The image formed on the beaches of Brighton-Hove was designed by Yorke and his long-time collaborator Stanley Donwood. The picture also appeared on the cover of Yorke’s album Eraser. Yorke helped promote the event on Radiohead’s website and four million person strong Facebook page.
The event was one of over a dozen similar displays taking place as part of 350 EARTH, the first planetary art show for the climate. The image of King Canute was joined by a giant sun in South Africa; a polar bear on an Icelandic glacier; a scarab in the Egyptian desert; an eagle in Los Angeles; and many more. Hi-res photos
and videos of the events are available on the earth.350.org website.The Brighton-Hove event had the backing of Brighton & Hove Council, who spearhead a city-wide coalition of organisations and businesses that form 10:10
Brighton & Hove. All have pledged to reduce CO2 emissions by 10% in a year by simple, achievable measures, in a bid to minimise the effects of climate change.
Tom Chute, coordinator of 10:10 Brighton & Hove, said: "The people of Brighton & Hove have shown real enthusiasm for environmental issues over the last year, lending a hand to 350’s Earth Art project will really put Brighton & Hove's climate change action on the map." Councillor Mary Mears, of Brighton & Hove Council, said: "It's great that Brighton & Hove has been chosen as the UK venue for this international event to tackle climate change. It links city strengths in art, environment and voluntary action together; and the strong involvement of the city 10:10 campaign, which we backed from the outset. We’re very happy that once again people will be looking towards Brighton & Hove for inspiration on tackling climate change."
Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org said: "The first pictures of Earth from space helped launch the modern environmental movement. We hope these art pieces can help spark a new movement to solve the climate crisis. Art is not a substitute for political action, but it can help build a public movement that can begin to
apply real pressure on our politicians.”

Unos 2,000 voluntarios vestidos de negro pero ataviados con impermeables de color azul rey, formaron este sábado al medio día un gran montaje que desde las alturas se asemejó a la silueta del Rey Canuto, mismo que está en la portada del disco The Eraser.
La locación, que en un principio era confidencial para los asistentes, resultó ser la playa de Hove Lawns, al sur de Brighton (Inglaterra). La enorme silueta de unos 70-80 metros de largo quedó mirando de frente al mar, encarando las olas, justo como narra la leyenda cuando el Rey Canuto falló al intentar parar las olas y la marea.
La organización 350 agradeció a Thom Yorke su disponibilidad y tiempo para llevar a cabo el evento, que busca crear conciencia, pero sobre todo llamar la atención de los líderes políticos que se congregarán en la próxima cumbre del cambio climático en Cancún, Quintana Roo, respecto a que el cambio climático es algo que debe afrontarse y dejar de seguir ignorándose.
Eugén', 大好き!!!
Yo solo espero
Muy tranquila miro
porque aun no aprendo
porque no se como hacer
porque tengo miedo
Tengo paciencia para mil años
porque comtemplar y pensar es mi vicio
last year i asked for trouble and it almost found me.
and now.
time to ask for trouble again.
.. yes, we were pretty keen on recording it!
you can still listen to it for another 6 days here: (Jonny's peice starts at about 43min in) http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00vj08j
Presented by Catherine Bott and introduced on stage by Jarvis Cocker.
In the first concert in a three-part series at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall, Electronica explores the evolution of electric instruments and sounds fused into the 'real' and the 'live'. The season kicks off with instrumental music by Goldfrapp's Will Gregory, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood and others featuring theremins, Moogs and ondes Martenots - electronic instruments that were once symbols of music catching up with the Machine Age, yet still today appear somehow futuristic.
