Alice: Una notte speciale
Franco Battiato ed Alice: I treni di Tozeur
Voglio vederti danzare: Franco Battiato
Voglio vederti danzare
come le zingare del deserto
con candelabri in testa
o come le balinesi nei giorni di festa.
Voglio vederti danzare
come i Dervisches Tourners
che girano sulle spine dorsali
o al suono di cavigliere del Katakali.
E gira tutt’intorno la stanza
mentre si danza, danza
e gira tutt’intorno la stanza
mentre si danza.
E Radio Tirana trasmette
musiche balcaniche, mentre
danzatori bulgari
a piedi nudi sui bracieri ardenti.
Nell’Irlanda del nord
nelle balere estive
coppie di anziani che ballano
al ritmo di sette ottavi.
Gira tutt’intorno la stanza
mentre si danza, danza.
E gira tutt’intorno la stanza
mentre si danza.
Nei ritmi ossessivi la chiave dei riti tribali
regni di sciamani
e suonatori zingari ribelli.
Nella Bassa Padana
nelle balere estive
coppie di anziani che ballano
vecchi Valzer Viennesi
Quite pleasing

Sorites Paradox
It occurs to me that this is an amusing example of the Sorites Paradox. The excerpt is from R.F.Delderfield’s “To serve them all my days”. At what moment does a pencil become a pencil-stub? This schoolmaster appears to know! LJ
Satisfactory

The Doctor & his Patients

Hellraisers: the winners of the Alcoholic Oscars – Independent.ie
During the filming of The VIPs in 1963, one of the many crappy movies Richard Burton made for money, he drank half a gallon of cognac in one day. But what might have killed most people was nothing to Burton, who had built up an extraordinary tolerance for alcohol over the years.

Amy Carson sings “Et incarnatus est” from Mozart’s C Minor Mass
A charming idea indeed!

Sir Christopher Lee reads Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death”
“And darkness and decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.”
