David Singleton's Diary

Today at the Vicarage A

Today at the Vicarage : A clear, sun-filled autumnal day of wonderment and joy.

At 12.53, an email from Tobin swooped into my intray, bringing with it the possibility of recorded music that plays differently, differingly, changingly, alternately, that never repeats, transposes, decomposes, recomposes, suddenly erupts and generally tickles the auditory tracts. I speak of the "recording" of "Halloween Suite" by ProjekctX. The song that never remains the same. If the step from mono to stereo changed recorded music, then what of the step from "frozen" music to "living" music. Now that could get me excited.

I am listening on my privileged pre release CD, but, for mere mortals, I understand there is a link on the KC news site.

But this was not the only joy.

At 14.12, an email from Sean Fitzpatrick brought the following wonderful tale. It has apparently been circulating on email, so I trust the author will not mind my reproducing it here.

Ars Classica ex Rocco.

Roccus et Rolli ad classicus est veritabilis disastris. Commencii in laetis
sixtis cum predictabilis resultis. Plures narcotica, ego inflatus et lapsus
