ATTENTION!



It reminds me of plenty. a beautiful intermission of Proust's a la recherche du temps perdu by Paris Opera Ballet. Ballet in recent years has picked up a lot from modern dance, even though it has maintained all ancient languages of balance, tempo, symmetry and complex leg work, croises and en points; it has also mixed with gymnestics, floor work, improvising quality and theatricality of contemperary dance.Does feel a bit awkward, but the emotion of the cello passages just drives you into the abyss of petty bourgeoisie entertainment.

MIAS NON! 2 male in skin suits performing like that, doubt the victorians had the appetite for that. Maybe it's a reference to Proust's vol 4 Sodom and Gomorrah, or maybe that public has already accepted the intimacy of musculinity as a matter of factly. Anyhow, no point seeing it as inclinating to homoerotic, the sheer beauty of form is just enchanting. from Proust ou les intermittences du coeur

And then, does anyone write Ballet music anymore? I used to have that dream, be like Tchaikovsky, or Prokovief. I know, it's funny :) but imagine, one day, nobody would know how to play a harp or a trumbone, when everyone has gone to play PSP and dansing on stage like psychics in muscle cramps.

Grizzly bear, I'm starting to love them too much.

not buying the FRIEND EP though, still find the band of horse and CSS versions a bit horrifying.

PS. Bjork lover as I am, have downloaded the 'POST' cover album at STEREOGUM.
Honestly it's aweful, But Ed's Possibly Maybe is alright. Check out the OK COMPUTER cover album too, it's equally bad, but exciting nonetheless.
