"Oh yeah, I have terrible taste." Sierra laughed. Well it was as good of a segue she could hope for. "That said, I uh, I was wondering if you'd want to hang out with me sometime? Preferably when I don't have to pay for your attention. Not that I'm against paying, I'm a proper gentleman." It was so unfortunate that she only got tongue-tied around pretty girls. It really harshed her vibe.
For a moment Renata bothered to pay attention to the customer she was serving, handing off the drink with a smile before she found herself gravitating back towards Sierra easily, brows raising as she took a second to lift her brows curiously. So, not her, but the drink specials. Renata grinned cheekily, hand resting on her hip. "So you love that locally brewed beer that tastes like shit. Hm. Now I'm starting to worry."

The Italian pianist Maurizio Pollini, who has died aged 82, was one of the giants of the keyboard in the second half of the 20th century, and yet for all the respect he commanded, his playing was criticised throughout his career for being excessively cool and cerebral. When he took first prize at the 1960 Chopin competition in Warsaw, the chairman of the jury, Artur Rubinstein, declared: “That boy plays better than any of us jurors.” But that success proved to be only the prelude to the first controversial event of his career. He withdrew from the international concert circuit for 18 months to broaden his repertoire and develop other cultural interests. It was not until nearly the end of the decade that his performance schedule achieved a normal rhythm, but his full return in 1968, coinciding with a contract signed with the Deutsche Grammophon (DG) label, launched a series of triumphs on the concert platform and in the recording studio.
Classic recordings of Chopin Etudes, of music by Schumann and Beethoven, and of modernist repertoire such as Pierre Boulez’s Second Sonata consolidated his reputation and, at its best, Pollini’s playing combined expressive but unsentimental intimacy, tonal beauty, textural clarity and a formidable technique. Particularly in his later years, Pollini’s breathless, impatient delivery of Beethoven’s sonatas often seemed to deny their rhetoric, as though he was embarrassed by large romantic gestures or overt emotionalism.
Pollini’s cerebral instincts appeared to deprive him of the ability to live in the moment: romantic subjectivity, it seemed, had constantly to be interrogated.
Pollini was born in Milan. His father, Gino Pollini, was one of Italy’s leading architects of the interwar period; his mother, Renata (nee Melotti), who had studied singing and piano, was the sister of the modernist sculptor Fausto Melotti. Such a background, in which “old works and modern works co-existed together as part of life”, as Pollini later put it, was to have a formative influence on his own approach to art. The discovery of his musical talent led to lessons with Carlo Lonati and Carlo Vidusso (from 1955 at the Milan conservatory) and various competition successes prior to Warsaw. His 1963 London debut, playing Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto with the LSO under Colin Davis, was criticised by the Times as “rushed” and over-impetuous.
Peter Andry, the responsible executive at EMI in the early 1960s, told in his autobiography, Inside the Recording Studio (2008), of the pursuit of the 19-year-old who had just won the prestigious Warsaw competition: “We quickly signed the young Italian, a slender, bespectacled young man with an elongated brow but a very pleasant manner.” One of their first (and only) projects together was a recording of the two sets of Chopin Etudes, Opp 10 and 25. It was not long after this that Pollini appeared to suffer a crisis of confidence. EMI sent him off to study for two years with the pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, but even as his musicality deepened, and reviews were often complimentary, Pollini retreated from the spotlight. He refused to allow the Etudes to be released – though this was in part because DG, shortly to sign Pollini as an exclusive artist, wanted to make their own version. The EMI sets were finally released only in 2011 (on Testament), winning plaudits for their spontaneity and freshness.
It was also in the 60s that music and politics first became intertwined in Pollini’s career. A friendship with a fellow-student, Claudio Abbado, a like-minded leftwing idealist, led them to seek radical ways of bringing classical music to factory workers, including a cycle of concerts at La Scala for employees and students. Another friendship, with the Marxist avant garde composer Luigi Nono, was equally important, resulting in the commission of two pieces for Pollini, including one for piano, voice and tapes, commemorating an assassinated Chilean revolutionary. Pollini’s radical outlook remained with him throughout his career, as did his intellectual approach to art and life. If too often that cerebralism seemed at odds with the heroic or passionate romantic sensibility of the music he played, there were compensations: the visionary gleam in a Chopin miniature; the anticipation of modernism in the ghostly finale of the same composer’s Second Piano Sonata.
Even when declining physical stamina took its toll in later recitals, Pollini commanded admiration of a sort for his continued willingness to pit himself against some of the most demanding works in the repertoire. The breathless impatience of his foreshortened phrases was unsettling, but glimpses of the old magic were still in evidence. The programming of his five-concert series The Pollini Project at the Royal Festival Hall, spread over five months in 2011 – which moved from Bach, through late Beethoven and Schubert to Chopin, Schumann, Liszt and Debussy to modernists such as Stockhausen and Boulez – represented a personal statement about landmarks in the history of piano music.
His interpretation of Boulez’s Second Sonata, notable for its precision and explosive energy, but also for its lyricism and Debussy-influenced pointillism, remains without peer. Stravinsky’s Petrushka likewise drew from him an incomparable muscularity coupled with tonal clarity that was ideally incisive rather than brutal. If Pollini’s playing was controversial, it was so because it explored the dichotomy of intellect and emotion fundamental to music-making.
He is survived by his wife, Marilisa (nee Marzotto), whom he married in 1968, and their son, Daniele.

Head Film Essay (1968)
Directed by Bob Rafelson and Jack Nicholson
Written by Jacob Christopher
“Of course Head is an utterly and totally fragmented film. Among other reasons for making it was that I thought I would never get to make another movie, so I might as well make 50 to start out with and put them all in the same feature." - Bob Rafelson
Head is a fun film, not because of it's plot, but it's absence of any sensical story direction at all. Released with it's corresponding album, the film utilizes the talents of the boy band The Monkees traversing through an obstacle of hijinks on their movie set, searching for sense trapped in a surrealist inspired story progression. Taking a satirical tongue and cheek approach to it's humor and messaging. Expressed through it's dialogue and formalistic style of cinematography, often the point is played vaguely and subtly due to it's delivery. Exemplified as a pariah for the time, The Monkees, Hollywood TV's answer to The Beetles. Were a Family TV show tied with music production, blurring the lines between actors and musicians. From mid-sixties to the year of 1967, The Monkees group of boys, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, soared towards the top of American notoriety and attention, before the inevitable downfall that waits for most manufactured trends.
In a glory of self destruction, the creator of The Monkees Bob Rafelson and the boys of the band had set to create a film as if it were their last opportunity to throw every editing tool and story beat, accumulating into a fun mess of a send off for the band. Ultimately flopping at the box office in extortionary fashion, only garnering $16,111 in the box office. The ticket sales in comparison to it's budget of $750,000 clearly show the disparity of the investment's outcome.
Reception during the airing of the movie was very mixed if not mostly negative, To quote a review of the time by Renata Alder of The New York Times: Head "might be a film to see if you have been smoking grass, or if you like to scream at the Monkees, or if you are interested in what interests drifting heads and hysterical high-school girls." Alienating their audience of families due to the un-child friendly subject matters shown, while also unable to reach an adult audience due to the already concrete notions of The Monkees tween image. Despite the poor reception of the film upon release a cult following for the film had managed to be birthed from the film's obscurity and ambitious story telling.
The film is the lease bit conventional in everything it does, exemplified from it's camera cuts, video editing and especially the lack of coherent story progression. In the beginning sequences of the movie Mickey Dolenz jumps from a bridge and into the water, where psychedelics sequences of inverted colors and high contrasting visuals of mermaids swimming around his drowning body, transitioning backwards in time to the band being kissed by a woman, who rates all of the members to be about the same quality of partner. Where things become harder to describe is the plot of the film, or as many put it, the lack of a plot at all. However there is more to be dissected than just face value, or even what the film just shows you at all. Most of what makes Head (1968) interesting isn't just the summer of love aesthetic brought by the hippie movement, but also the martyr philosophy the the band and directors try to make of the novelty.
(Top Image: Article of MLK's assassination)
(Bottom Image: Moments before the execution of Nguyễn Văn Lém)
To emphasize the tumultuous times of the late sixties, Martin Luther King had unfortunately been assassinated in Memphis, and war waged furious. The scene that had staked itself into my attention, forcing me to see this film as something more than just zany 60s sitcom antics. Is that of the execution of Nguyễn Văn Lém, a captive of south Vietnamese troops. A polarizing scene to include, especially regarding The Monkees previous audience of children and family orientated television. For many it can be deemed as none less than shock, but also play part of the messaging of the time. 1968, the Vietnam War curtained prevalent over many lives. In usage of the execution, the scene plays also as commentary on what America's television programming hid from it's audience, The Monkees used as a blanket of blissful ignorance, but not anymore. Unappreciated for it's time, Head (1968) has aged into a relic of the past to be appreciated by a newer audience in retrospective perspective.

MUSIC/INTERVIEW:
Beetlejuice: Thais Piza says she needs to “control herself not to laugh” during the musical
By Eduardo do Valle (@duduvalle)
Published on 02/27/2024, at 5:24 pm
Actress and singer returns to the stage alongside Eduardo Sterblitch and a great cast in a São Paulo production of a musical adapted from Tim Burton's work: 'it's poking fun at oneself.
Eduardo Sterblitch and Thais Piza behind the scenes of 'Beetlejuice, The Musical' (Personal collection)
Thais Piza is back on stage - and once again leading a celebrated musical. After shining as Vivian Ward in the production of Pretty Woman, the singer and actress now brings Barbara to life in Beetlejuice, The Musical, which premiered in São Paulo on the 21st.
The Brazilian adaptation of the Broadway show, Beetlejuice, The Musical arrives in São Paulo after a successful run in Rio de Janeiro. Here, it retains part of the structure and cast, notably Eduardo Sterblitch in the title role. Directed by Tadeu Aguiar and produced by Renata Borges Pimenta, the play has been praised for its distinctly Brazilian humor in adapting the classic story from Tim Burton's film: "The play was completely tailored to the Brazilian audience; we play with accents, well-known jokes, names, people, and situations."
Thais Piza in 'Beetlejuice, The Musical' (Rafa Marques/Blog do Arcanjo)
“Unlike a musical that comes, as we joke, 'canned,' in this one, we were able to adapt everything. It brought together the genius of Edu [Sterblitch], with the genius of Tadeu [Aguiar] and a team where we have incredible actors, like my scene partner, Marcelo Laham - it's a hit! Goal! Goal for Brazil... Record-breaking box office.”
For Thais, the invitation to join the cast of the São Paulo production came as a welcome challenge, materializing in less than a month of preparation to take the stage as Barbara - a character immortalized by Geena Davis in the 1988 film adaptation.
“It was a mix of happiness and madness to accept the invitation to play Barbara here in São Paulo because the play came ready, meaning I had a week to learn what the cast had built in two months,” the actress shares.
Thais Piza in 'Beetlejuice, The Musical' (Rafa Marques/Blog do Arcanjo)
Her character is part of a recently deceased couple, who become ghosts trapped in their old house. With the arrival of new tenants, she and her husband (Adam, played by Marcelo Laham) must learn how to scare the new occupants - and they do so with Beetlejuice himself. Speaking to Rolling Stone Brasil, Piza admits to having to hold back laughter at times - notably in scenes with Eduardo Sterblitch's Beetlejuice and João Telles, who have more freedom on stage.
“The sharp jokes fall more on Edu and João, who is the alternate Beetlejuice. We stick more to the script because we 'don't see' the audience like Beetlejuice does. And man, comedy is just that, poking fun at oneself, it's laughter at any cost.”
Beetlejuice, The Musical, is produced by Touché Entretenimento, with a cast of 26 people and over 100 professionals involved in the production. The show runs at Teatro Liberdade in São Paulo until April 21st. Tickets are available for purchase through Sympla.
↓ Read the full interview with Thais Piza below ↓
Rolling Stone Brasil: You approached Beetlejuice after a praised season in Pretty Woman. How did the opportunity arise and how much time did you have to prepare between the two projects?
Thais Piza: I received the invitation from Renata Borges less than a month after the end of Pretty Woman and about a month and a half before the São Paulo premiere. I am extremely grateful for bringing Vivian to life in Brazil, and I believe it was indeed a turning point in my career, but ever since I found out that Beetlejuice was coming to Brazil, I freaked out. I watched the play in New York and was ecstatic. It was a mix of happiness and madness to accept the invitation to play Barbara here in São Paulo because the play came ready, meaning I had a week to learn what the cast had built in two months. But this cast is so generous, so supportive, and Tadeu Aguiar is such an incredible director as well, that putting it all together ended up being easy, as far as possible [laughs]... Now I'm having too much fun on stage. I always say it was my most confident yes.
Rolling Stone Brasil: In the show, you portray Barbara, a role famously played by Geena Davis. What characteristics do you bring to the role, and how does this iconic interpretation from cinema influence you?
Thais Piza: Just as there was much talk about Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, now Geena Davis is in the spotlight. And the answer is quite similar, yet different: Beetlejuice is a super comedy! Edu [Sterblitch] is a genius from whom I learn every day; he has become a dear friend, and as he himself said, "If Wicked is the Juliette of musicals, then we are the Gil do Vigor." The play was completely adapted for the Brazilian audience; we play with accents, well-known jokes, names, people, and situations. The starting point, as in Pretty Woman, will always be the film followed by the Broadway adaptation, but then comes the spice, the Brazilian essence. As I used to say: I'm not Julia Roberts, but I made my Vivian. And I repeat: I'm not Geena Davis, but I'm making my Barbara.
Thais Piza as Barbara in 'Beetlejuice, The Musical' (Andy Santana)
Rolling Stone Brasil: Since you mentioned the Brazilian essence, are there opportunities to bring any references or inspirations from our dramaturgy into such a rigid script like that of a musical? Did you consider any for the development of your role?
Thais Piza: I considered a friend who has the characteristics of Barbara [laughs]. I always like to imagine who the character could be in real life during the character's construction. And yes! Absolutely! There are many references to Brazilian things. Unlike a musical that comes, as we joke, "canned", like a Les Mis or a Phantom of the Opera, in this one, we were able to adapt everything. It brought together the genius of Edu, with the genius of Tadeu, and a team where we have incredible actors, like my scene partner, Marcelo Laham - a hit! Goal! Goal for Brazil... Record-breaking box office.
Rolling Stone Brasil: Beetlejuice navigates through a whimsical universe while also experimenting with a certain freedom, especially in the use of sharp humor. How does this musical adaptation explore these aspects?
Thais Piza: I love doing comedy. I love Tim Burton. Put it all together, mix it up, add Brazil, a cast of beasts, exquisite direction, and you get success. The sharp jokes fall more on Edu and João's shoulders, who is the alternate Beetlejuice. We stick more to the script because we "don't see" the audience like Beetlejuice does. And man, comedy is just that, poking fun at oneself, it's laughter at any cost. Our play is the one where you leave your problems at home and come to the theater with one single purpose, which is to have fun.
Rolling Stone Brasil: How has your experience been with the cast?
Thais Piza: I'll be brief: I think, to this day, this cast is in the "top 3 best casts" I've ever worked with. There's a lot of laughter, a lot of affection, a lot of fun, and a lot of professionalism. It's a different lesson in every session.
Eduardo Sterblitch e Thais Piza nos bastidores de 'Beetlejuice, O Musical' (Acervo pessoal)
Rolling Stone Brasil: Any favorite or surprising scenes you'd like to highlight?
Thais Piza: I have two! There's a scene where I always have to control myself not to laugh, which is when Edu, Laham, and I are in the attic, with Beetlejuice teaching the two goofy ghosts how to scare. And the other one is our duet called "Barbara 2.0" - where my character "stops being silly" and sings a song in the best Broadway style with extremely high notes - thank you, Rafael Villar, my singing teacher. I've been eagerly waiting since the beginning to perform this delightful number.

The Ghost Dogs of the Amazon
Scientists have produced data that shows the range of an enigmatic short-eared canid species that has yet to be widely studied. It is one of the Amazon rain forest’s most elusive and enigmatic mammals. Experts call the species “shy” or even “a ghost.”
It’s a dog or at least a type of dog. The short-eared dog is the only member of the canine genus Atelocynus, and the only such species unique to the Amazon rainforest. In a study published last month in Royal Society Open Science, 50 researchers chipped away at the creature’s mysteries by putting together a large location data set gleaned mostly from camera trap cameos. By mapping the species’s range and determining its preferred habitat, the scientists, many of whom have never encountered the animal in person, hope to help protect it.
Daniel Rocha, a graduate student at the University of California, Davis, and the study’s lead author, became interested in the short-eared dog in 2015, when he began working in the southern part of the Amazon. He and his colleagues set up camera traps to study the local mammal community. As they looked through the footage, “these dogs would appear,” he said. With pricked ears and furrowed brows, they almost look surprised to be caught on camera. It surprised him, too. Even locals who spend a lot of time in the Amazon don’t often see short-eared dogs, which were assumed to be quite rare. They also evade career researchers focused on this region: Mr. Rocha, who spent years leading this study, said, “I’ve never seen the dog in the jungle, ever.”
Carlos Peres, an ecology professor at the University of East Anglia who contributed to the study, has been working in the Amazon for nearly 40 years. His longest sighting of a short-eared dog lasted about 20 seconds as it chased a spiny rat into a hollow log. They’re incredibly secretive,” he said.
Many canid species, from wolves to African wild dogs, hunt in packs and prefer more open habitats, like tundra or grasslands. Short-eared dogs, which only live in the Amazon, are mostly solitary and “almost certainly the most rainforest-adapted of all the canids,” said Dr. Peres. They are most comfortable trotting around in the trees, far from anywhere people might tread.
As a result, the species is “one of the least studied dogs worldwide,” Mr. Rocha said. We don’t know much about their life histories or reproductive strategies, or how many of them exist. We don’t even really know what they eat, although scat studies suggest that they like fish, small mammals and fruit.
Individual experts have gone to great lengths to change that. Renata Leite Pitman, a contributor to the study and an affiliated scholar at Duke University’s Nicholas School of Environment, once obtained a short-eared dog pup that had been raised with domestic dogs. She and her assistant, Emeterio Nuñonca Sencia, trained the dog to walk on a leash and took careful notes on what he sniffed at, ate and avoided. She has also managed to track several dogs with radio collars.
