THE BEST WRITTEN SONGS OF ALL-TIME

     Because I have zero innate musical ability, the idea that someone can sit down with a musical instrument, and create an original song out of thin air is magic to me. Songwriting is a craft, but it’s inspiration that makes a good song into a great one. There are songwriters who seem able to turn out high quality songs in perpetuity. There are others who write maybe one or two great songs, and are never heard from again. So, I made a list of what I think are the 50 best written songs I’ve ever heard. These are in no particular order. I’ve listed the title followed by the songwriter or songwriters, and in parentheses is the performer I most enjoy hearing do the song – although most of these songs have been recorded countless times by a variety of artists. You can probably find all of these on YouTube or any of the streaming services. Most have lyrics, but some do not. But, it’s hard for me to imagine any of these songs being recorded by anyone with talent, and not retaining the brilliance with which the song was written.

Im sorry i just had the MOST hysterical thought and cant stop laughing, which is a crossover au wherein Neil and Andrew go to england and Neil gets asked to go check in on a distant branch of the hartford family, this branch isnt involved in the crime business at all and mainly stuart is like attempting to give neil more family ties or something and so neil and andrew sit down to have lunch with charlie spring and nick nelson who have no idea that charlies mother comes from a crime family and think that exy is only “just okay”

It would be so funny, i dont think they would get along at all but it would be so funny

pro wrestling--

key bullet points from the Brooklyn College CUNY session:

Introduction to Pro Wrestling:

Pro wrestling is improvised, relying on a shared language of movements similar to ballroom dance.

Communication in the ring is primarily non-verbal, through touch and movement.

Active Feedback Exercise:

Participants paired up to practice leading and following using hand squeezes.

Emphasis on mutual understanding and kinesthetic response.

Red, Yellow, Green Zones:

Discussed boundaries and zones of contact for safety.

Participants were encouraged to communicate any injuries or discomfort.

Collar and Elbow Tie-Up:

Participants practiced the basic collar and elbow tie-up, with attention to body positioning and making movements big and visible.

Emphasized the importance of standing tall, chest out, and making the movements look large for the audience.

Side Headlock:

Participants learned the side headlock technique, focusing on controlling the opponent's head without causing harm.

Different grips were introduced, such as the barrel grip and gable grip.

Arm Wringer:

Participants practiced the arm wringer, focusing on manipulating the opponent’s arm and creating the appearance of control and tension.

Emphasis on maintaining a safe, controlled grip.

Back Take:

Introduced the concept of the back take, where one participant moves behind the other to apply a hold.

Focused on stepping behind the opponent and maintaining control while applying a grip around the waist.

Reversals:

Participants practiced reversing holds, learning how to break out of a back take or headlock.

Discussed different techniques for reversing grips and maintaining control.

Full Nelson:

Mentioned as a potential move to practice, emphasizing the importance of understanding the physicality and safety involved.

Final Thoughts:

Encouraged participants to practice and explore the moves further, noting that they had learned a small part of pro wrestling's physical language.

Mentioned the wrestling company "Bootscream Pro" and its connection to Hartford, Connecticut.

These points summarize the session's focus on learning and practicing basic pro wrestling techniques, with an

MICHAEL CREIGHTON'S ANDROMEDA STRAIN

Continuing in the footstep of Michael Chrichton are two movies based on his book "The Andromeda Strain" 1971 and 2008. Personally I enjoyed more the later. But you can be the judge of that if you are up to it.

Following, however, is an excellent movie review of the 1971 film which will keep you on hold, which I recommend a watch and listen.

881-1 link: https://youtu.be/22JDTcrbcr0

The Andromeda Strain is a 1971 American science fiction thriller film produced and directed by Robert Wise. Based on Michael Crichton's 1969 novel of the same name and adapted by Nelson Gidding. The film base book deals with a team of scientists who investigate a deadly organism of extraterrestrial origin on the verge of wiping out all human life. With a few exceptions, the film follows the book closely. The special effects were designed by Douglas Trumbull. The film is notable for its use of split screen in certain scenes. (The Andromeda Strain (film) - Wikipedia).

THE FILM...

881-2 LINK: https://ok.ru/video/3297335577129

The Andromeda Strain is a 2008 science fiction miniseries, based on the 1969 novel of the same name written by Michael Crichton about a team of scientists who investigate a deadly disease of extraterrestrial origin. The miniseries is a "reimagining" of the original novel rather than an adaptation. In addition to updating the setting to the early 21st century, the miniseries makes a great many plot and character changes from its source. The mini-series has two episodes for a total of 169 minutes. (The Andromeda Strain (miniseries) - Wikipedia)

THE FILM...

881-3 LINK: https://ok.ru/video/1764023470673

The Andromeda Strain mini-series received mostly negative reviews from critics. The Hartford Courant called it an "entertaining piece of high-velocity intrigue." The Boston Globe found it unoriginal, although "sometimes engaging." The Los Angeles Times calls it "overwrought and dull" and criticizes its divergence from the original story. Entertainment Weekly complained about the slow pace and stated that "the cluttered remake mires itself in lab work, inane backstories, and bureaucracy." The New York Times stated that "it never grows quite suspenseful enough."

Hi! I haven’t been able to have a nice or decent sleep for months. All because of an old love ghost who is haunting me again I don’t even know why anymore. Have you ever felt this way? And is there a book, song or poem or artwork or all of the above you can recommend me with this similar feeling?

I'm sorry. I am basically just one big walking love haunt. My predominant emotion is missing everyone I have ever loved. I wish I could tell you to do what I used to as a kid when I was scared of ghosts--just close yr eyes and say "criss cross applesauce, ghost get lost"--but I have taken this approach in adult life and it has proved lacking.

Prose works for this feeling that, in their different ways, make me feel like a hand is reaching out to hold mine:

Lydia Davis, The End of the Story

Sally Rooney, Normal People

Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights

Art book: Sophie Calle, Douleur Exquise (Exquisite Pain)

A few songs:

The Radio Dept--It's Been Eight Years

The Radio Dept--1995

Marissa Nadler--The Sun Always Reminds Me of You

Marissa Nadler---Thinking of You

Sun Kil Moon--Carry Me Ohio

Townes van Zandt--Buckskin Stallion Blues

Teenage Fanclub--If I Never See You Again

Bill Callahan--Riding for the Feeling

The Mountain Goats--Sometimes I Still Feel the Bruise

Simon & Garfunkel--Bookends

Bob Dylan--Most of the Time

Damien Jurado--I Can't Get Over You

Lucinda Williams--Overtime

Mary Lou Lord--Beeswing

Daniel Johnston--Some Things Last A Long Time

Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris--Do I Ever Cross Your Mind?

Blaze Foley--If I Could Only Fly

John Prine--I Remember Everything

John Hartford--First Girl I Loved

Sufjan Stevens--To Be Alone With You

Rocky Votolato--White Daisy Passing

23 Tableaux Vivants from Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio masterpieces

The “Tableaux Vivants” transports the viewer into a magic world, where pictorial art and theater art gradually overlap to match perfectly. This technique, popular in eighteenth-century, has been recovered because of the intuition and sensitivity of Ludovica Rambelli, director of Malatheatre Theater Company. After her death, the company Ludovica Rambelli Theater committed to ensure that her research is not lost again.

Based on the “tableaux vivants” technique, La Conversione di un Cavallo is a work of great visual impact and yet of extreme simplicity. Before the viewers ‘eyes twenty-three of the best Caravaggio’s canvasses are composed by the actors’ bodies with the help of some minimal elements only, such as draped fabrics of varied colours and texture and other everyday objects. Just one stream of light brightens up the scene, working as an imaginary frame. The changes are all “en plain air” and Rhythmically punctuated by Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi and Sibelius’ musics.
