“I saw the girl after it had happened, and I assume that she ... had an orgasm because she was heavily breathing, and her partner was smiling and looking at her — like in an effort to not shame her,” said Grant, who works for a jewelry company and lives in Los Feliz. “It was quite beautiful.”

Grant you are a pervert

and then you were haunted by nightmares

reminds me of this:

Jimmy Oblain, 82, died quietly last night in his sleep, in the middle of a fucking terrifying nightmare.

This trio released an album on ECM in 2014 (cover below), and I've been pretty obsessed with this piece from it. I've always been somewhat "classical-averse" but I'm finding myself enjoying quite a few of these small ensemble recordings on ECM's New Series label. Highly recommend!

Ah, I love that. Listening to their album now.

If you enjoy that Debussy piece try his "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun" which is similarly dreamy. And Ravel's "Introduction and Allegro" is another beautiful harp-forward composition you might enjoy

[Jorge]

I want a harp

[Kevin Davis]

Really like both of those, especially the Ravel. Thanks buddy

I'm listening to Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, and it's like, "Ohhh, so that's where John Williams got all his ideas for Star Wars."

Wrong. He got Star Wars from Holst.

One of my music profesors in College was a huge Baroque guy. Did some singing. Awesome feathered mullet of sorts. Played all kinds of weird instruments.

had little idea of who John Lennon was.

pretty awesome.

I'm always dubious of people who like marginalized music genres (jazz, classical, whatever) who say they don't know who massive pop culture icons are. I can imagine someone who is so immersed in their niche and just aren't aware of the rest of the world. But I can more easily imagine a person who definitely knows who John Lennon is and just acts like they don't know because it feels cooler to be uncool.

This is not related to your story. Unless it is. More of a general observation. It's also why I started to hate Thom Yorke who is such an ass he hates his own music.

Man, I don't know why I'm so grumpy.
