Re: commuting, have neither of you read One Last Stop? It's wonderful.

TIL that Cannonball Adderley recorded an entire album of songs from Fiddler on the Roof. And it's very cool. Who knew? I mean, besides @natalieweiner.bsky.social. youtu.be/C8Zc2GmCq7c

I also got a kick out of Robin Carolan's score using a repeating motive that starts with the half step of the Dies Irae but immediately goes astray, which triggered an aural double take every time I heard it.

Had a great evening in the packed @iucinema.bsky.social watching Nosferatu (2024)! Loved so much about the movie, not least of all the gorgeous costumes and production design. Love me some 1830s clothes and Biedermeier interiors.

Made myself a banner! Featuring an 1803 depiction of the Queen of the Night, a snippet of Kotzebue's Die deutsche KleinstΓ€dter featuring an operatic name drop, and a "dolphin" from Nicola Sabbatini's 1638 manual on stage machinery.

Godfather Part 2:"I know it was you Fredo" and Cuban Revolution
YouTube video by Burak Bayrak Godfather Part 2:"I know it was you Fredo" and Cuban Revolution

I had a great time at The Godfather Part II at the IU Cinema last night. It'd been a very long time since I'd seen it, so it was all very fresh. I got a big kick out of Nino Rota riffing on Stravinsky during the Cuban Revolution sequence.
