if I had a nickel for every time I figured out one of these navy records was attributed to the complete wrong person I'd have two nickels. which isn't much but it's fucking annoying that it's happened twice.

SS Arthur M Anderson: "Fitzgerald, this is the Anderson. Have you checked down?"

SS Edmund Fitzgerald: "Yes we have."

Anderson: "Fitzgerald, we are about 10 miles behind you, and gaining about 1 1/2 miles per hour. Fitzgerald, there is a target 19 miles ahead of us. So the target would be 9 miles on ahead of you."

Fitzgerald: "Well, am I going to clear?"

A: "Yes. He is going to pass to the west of you."

F: "Well, fine."

A: "By the way, Fitzgerald, how are you making out with your problem?"

F: "We are holding our own."

A: "Okay, fine. I'll be talking to you later."

The crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald would never speak to anyone outside of the ship again. After the Fitzgerald entered a squall and was obscured from the Anderson's radar. Some time shortly thereafter the Edmund Fitzgerald sank with all hands aboard.

In 1967 when Radio 1 was founded as a successor to the BBC Light Programme, one of its aims was to reach housewives – and to attract them, the station employed only male DJs (or “husband substitutes”, as they were known behind the scenes) for the first three years. It was only in 1970, bending with the times, that it took on its first female presenter, Anne (later Annie) Nightingale, a former journalist and television presenter with almost no radio experience.

The original male presenters have long since left the station, but Nightingale was still working for Radio 1 at the time of her death, aged 83, and had become its longest-serving broadcaster, most recently on air in December 2023. Known to fans as the Queen of Breaks – breakbeat was her specialist genre – she defied the station’s usual career trajectory (five years as a top-tier presenter, then off to weekends or Radio 2) by staying relevant. She introduced listeners to prog rock, punk, indie and dance music, and was unfeignedly passionate about them all. At 75, she told a dance magazine: “I listen to what 13-year-olds listen to because that’s the future. [I’ve] got to be ahead of the game all the time.”

As a dance music specialist from the late 1980s onward – playing “the biggest bass bangers”, as Radio 1’s website put it – Nightingale spent the second half of her career broadcasting to people too young to have known that she had been friends with the Beatles and Marc Bolan. But her age was immaterial because of her stature in the dance world. In 2001, she received Muzik magazine’s Caner of the Year prize in recognition of her late-night lifestyle – her favourite of all her awards, which also included an MBE in 2002 for services to broadcasting (advanced to CBE in 2020), and an honorary doctorate in journalism.

She was a highly knowledgable musical curator, and an expert at exploiting the intimacy of radio. Though Nightingale prioritised music over DJ patter, she recognised that a human voice was still an essential part of the mix; husky-toned and self-deprecating, she belied the station’s early fear that a female DJ would lack authority. According to the writer Irvine Welsh, who listened to her while growing up, her “cool, funky tones” stood out against “the flatulent sounds of loud, boring, thick and egotistical men strafing the airwaves”.

An only child, Nightingale was born in Osterley, west London, to Basil, who ran a wallpaper company, and Celia (nee Winter), a chiropodist. Educated at the independent Lady Eleanor Holles school in Hampton, she left before her A-levels. Overriding her parents’ request that she have “something to fall back on”, she enrolled on a journalism course at the Regent Street Polytechnic (now the University of Westminster). Moving to Brighton after graduation, she married a Fleet Street journalist, Gordon Thomas, and had two children. After a short stint at the Brighton and Hove Gazette, she became the only woman in the newsroom at the Brighton Argus.

Along with reporting local news at the parish-council level, she was given a music column called Spin With Me, which gave her access to the biggest pop stars of the 60s. Her friendship with the Beatles later helped open doors at Radio 1 – the band’s publicist, Derek Taylor, persuaded the station controller to let her audition after her own requests were repeatedly refused.

At a Dusty Springfield gig in 1964, she met Vicki Wickham, producer of Ready Steady Go!, who hired her as co-presenter of a new pop show called That’s For Me. It lasted only a few months, but the exposure led to writing work at the Daily Express and Cosmopolitan, and radio appearances on Today and Woman’s Hour. It was the era of pirate stations such as Radio Caroline; she considered applying to Caroline but was put off by the idea of “living out at sea with a bunch of blokes”.

Finally installed at Radio 1 in 1970, she was hampered at first by a lack of technical knowhow – her first day was marked by eight seconds of dead airtime when she accidentally pressed the “off” switch in the middle of a record. Yet she quickly established herself, choosing her own playlist almost from the start. Her skill at persuading listeners that what she wanted to hear was what they wanted to hear led in 1978 to the job of presenting BBC Two’s “serious” rock programme, The Old Grey Whistle Test. It had failed to keep up with musical fashion, a problem she tackled by booking the most challenging artists she could get away with and braving the consequences. She was delighted to bag Public Image Ltd for a live appearance, though frontman John Lydon repaid her enthusiasm by admonishing her for being “so fucking patronising”.

Four years at Whistle Test were followed by a return to Radio 1’s highly popular Sunday afternoon request show for 12 years. When acid house gained traction in the late 80s, she credited it with changing her life; from that point, she played solely dance music on Radio 1, first in the influential Chill Out Zone slot, then on a longstanding programme that went out at 1am on Wednesdays. Her free time, she said, was consumed by listening to the thousands of demo tapes she received every week.

Despite her achievements, Nightingale claimed she lacked confidence until she was robbed in Havana, Cuba in 1996. The attack left her unable to walk for months, but made her “a stronger person”, she said.

Though she hated nostalgia, she did reflect that ageing had been isolating. The death of John Peel, her friend from the early days of Radio 1, provoked the unusually downbeat comment: “Now John’s gone there’s nobody I know in my age group who remotely likes this kind of thing. I don’t understand why. I’m driven by it.”

She published two volumes of autobiography, Chase the Fade (1982) and Wicked Speed (2000), and a 50th-anniversary volume, Hey Hi Hello: Five Decades of Pop Culture from Britain’s First Female DJ, in 2020.

She is survived by her children, Alex and Lucy, from her first marriage, which ended in divorce. Her second marriage, to the actor Binky Baker in 1978, also ended in divorce.

Lyrics:

There once was a ship that put to sea

The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea

The winds blew up, her bow dipped down

O blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)

She had not been two weeks from shore

When down on her a right whale bore

The captain called all hands and swore

He′d take that whale in tow (huh)

Take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum (hey)

One day when the tonguin' is done

We′ll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

Before the boat had hit the water

The whale′s tail came up and caught her

All hands to the side harpooned and fought her

When she dived down below (huh)

She had not been two weeks from shore

When down on her a right whale bore

The captain called all hands and swore

He′d take that whale in tow (huh)

Take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum (hey)

One day when the tonguin' is done

We′ll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguin' is done

We′ll take our leave and go

Take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum (hey)

One day when the tonguin' is done

We′ll take our leave and go

Take our leave and go

by Random_Nerd3 “If you want clear skies you shouldn't have chosen Gotham,” Nightwing said. He dropped to the ground, swinging his legs off the roof's edge, and sitting next to the stranger. “I’m from Harwood County,” his voice was dry. Unemotional. Hoarse, like he'd been crying. “We didn’t see empty skies often these past few years. No ships in the sky makes it clear enough for me.” Right. The alien invasion. "I'm Nightwing," Dick introduced himself. There was a pause... then the stranger pulled down his hood. "I'm Troy."

“You may see how happy this has made me; I look upon your Lordship as part of myself, Utrumque nostrum incredibili modo, Consentit astrum … I am, my dearest Lord,

Ever and most cordially yours,

Holles Newcastle

Written in June of 1753, this a fragment of a letter from Thomas Pelham, Duke of Newcastle and Secretary of State, to the Lord High Chancellor, his closest advisor and dearest friend Philip Yorke, Earl of Hardwicke. The piece of Latin verse which Newcastle chose to include is an extract from Book II, Poem 17 of Horace’s Odes. This particular work was addressed from Horace to his friend and patron Maecenas, and is centered around an entreaty from the poet to his friend not to die before him, as he could not bear to live without the dearest part of his soul.

Thomas bei Caravaggio

1.

Jeder hat einen Sinn für das decorum. You always sense the decorum. Die rhetorischen Mainzelmänner, etwa Viehweg, hat einen Sinn für das decorum. Sogar die Frankfurter Schule Abteilung Nichtbenjamin (z.B. Klaus Günther mit dem Buch für den Sinn für Angemessenheit) hat einen Sinn für das decorum, auch wenn man, gerade weil man nur limitiert etwas von mitbekommt. Partage du sense, so nennt Ranciere eine Technik, sinnvoll und sinnlich zu scheiden, mit höheren und niederen Sinnen zu scheiden.

Decorum ist nonsense, wenn es Dada ist oder Lettrismus, aber auch dann, wenn es Pfingsten feiert und pentecostal argumentiert - und ab dem ersten Bier im Doktor Flotte ist das decorum ebenfalls nonsense, wenn nicht vorher schon Mai ist und die Bäume sowieso schon ausschlagen.

Der auf deutsch ungläubige Thomas hat einen Sinn für Übertragung und das decorum. Rührend, wie er in der Wunde rührt. Nonsense ist in dem Sinne sinnlos, dass da der Sinn los ist, lose sitzt oder lose verläuft. Das decorum mag die einen beruhigen, vielleicht sogar Schlaf geben wie die Goldberg-Variationen das sollten, die anderen macht es wach oder nervös, aber alle haben einen Sinn für das decorum.

Mit der Nervosität und der Beruhigung, das soll jetzt mal ein strenge Forderung sein, kann man gelassen umgehen. Mit dem Schlafen und Wachen auch, es gibt Kalender, die das mittragen, dass man manchmal schlafen muss und manchmal wach sein. Das alles lehren die Letter, die Mahle und die klammen Sendungen. Aber die Sterne lehren es auch.

Das ist meine Arbeitsthese, die in ihrem decorum die einen Leser beruhigt - die sagen dann, der Herr Steinhauer arbeitet vertragsgemäß zur Rechtstheorie, zu einer rhetorischen Rechtstheorie und einer Theorie juridischer Kulturtechniken , dabei wie immer zu Recht und Bildern (Bällen/ Bauten/ Boliden).

Die anderen sagen, darin könnte ein Kündigunsgrund liegen. Wer als Jurist nicht strittig arbeiten kann, hat eventuell den Beruf verfehlt. Wer nicht so arbeitet, dass die einen in seiner Arbeit eine Erfüllung sehen und die anderen einen Kündigungsgrund, abeitet nicht richtig juristisch und nicht richtig juridisch. Man muss schon wissen, was Grenzen sind, von allen Seiten.

2.

So ist Caravaggios Bild ein Bild zu römischen Rechten und Bildern, sogar zur römischen Frage: durch juridische Kulturtechnik. Die Wunde, die Bresche, das Trauma: das sind Figuren, die nicht nur hier auftauchen, auch im Werk anderer (etwa als Fragment). Etwas ist brüchig, darum brauchen wir Rechte. Etwas fehlt, darum brauchen wir Rechte. Etwas ist zuviel, darum brauchen wir Rechte. Und am besten glauben wir daran, dass das Recht hilft. Am besten lassen wir uns auf eine Welt ein, die widerständig und insistierend ist. Ruhe ist dabei die erste Bürgerpflicht und alles andere ist dabei die Pflicht von allen anderen.

Caravaggio malt das Bild 1601. Es heißt auf deutsch Der ungläubige Thomas. Meine These: Im Westen lesen die leute Bilder anders als im Osten, weil sowieso überall anders gelesen wird. In meinem Zettelkasten ist daraus eine kleine Theorie der Bildersammlung entstanden: In Deutschland glaubt man, dass die Bildersammlungen Museen sind, die Museen Musen und die Musen nette Damen. Stimmt ja auch irgendwie, hübsche und wertvolle, sogar wirklich wichtige Dinge an der Tafel. Allerdings haben solche Sammlungen Aby Warburg nicht genügt, manchmal übertreibt er und sagt, damit wolle er sich nicht mehr beschäftigen (wie K. im Kapitel Der Dom), lieber mit Tanzenden in New Mexico. Dann wieder wird er entweder milder oder wilder (m ist ein verkehrtes w): Wenn diese Bilder auch tanzen wie in New Mexico, dann will ich mich auch damit beschäftigen. Warburg ist darin ganz bei den Baseler Archäologen, denen von oben am Rhein in Frankreichnähe, dem Bachofen, Burkhardt, dem Nietzsche, der Ute Holl und dem Markus Krajewski. Nietzsche bringt den Wunsch mit ein Kind zum Weihnachtsmann, er schreibt auf Wunschzettel, er wolle einen Gott, der tanzt.

Der Warburg, den halte ich für einen halbwestlichen, halböstlichen, halbnörlichen, halbsüdlichen Weihnachtsmann, er auch. Ich halte ihn für einen Pendler. Der wird Bildersammlungen sich manchmal anschauen, wie die russischen Arbeiter mit ihren Kindern, die ich 1993 vor solchen Bildern gesehen habe: Erbleichend, ermahnend, erklärend, beschwichtigend, erziehen, mal stossend, mal streichelnd. Jedes Bild eine Institution, dabei immer auch Zeughaus, also Waffenkammer.

Nur weil das Caravaggio ist, heißt das nicht, dass man nicht etwas vom Alltag und seinem Krach in diesem Bild sieht. Da, wo Wunde/ Bresche ist oder Stadttor, von mir aus Triumphbogen, da sind verengte Wege, die limitieren und kanalisieren, Schub geben und hemmen. Verwundet ist jeder, traumatisiert jeder, jedem fehlt dies und ist das zuviel. Ino Augsberg hat in seinem Buch von der Lesbar nochmal an Carls Schmitts Trauma erinnert. Nicht jeder zeigt seine Wunde, muss er auch nicht, manchen ist das Liturgie, wie etwa dem Joseph Beuys. Einfach wahr, gut und schön, ist es nicht, dass man ins Leben geworfen wird und dann die Nabelschnur durchtrennt wird. Es ist aber multiplicit schön, wahr und gut - und immer in Mustern, die (a-)dressieren und pol(aris)sieren. Dafür braucht man keine Juristen, aber Juristen haben dazu Geschichte und Theorie entworfen. Und es gibt Kulturtechniken, die damit routiniert umgehen lassen sollen. Eine davon nenne ich decorum, nomen actionis und Pathosformel: Begriff für eine Technik, die mustert, misst - und die passieren lässt.

Man kann solche Bilder persönlich nehmen, kann also vor dem Bild des ungläubigen Thomas sich sagen: Carravagio meint mich. Und man kann sich trotzdem davon distanzieren. Das nennt Warburg Distanzschaffen, es pendelt, gelingt mal mehr oder weniger. Die Technik ist die gleiche, egal ob jemand über Quintus Fabius Maximus, die Fabian Society oder oder mich persönlich in Texten schreibt, mich lobt oder kritisiert: Natürlich soll man das alles persönlich nehmen, sogar dann, wenn man nicht selber, sondern ein anderer Fabian gemeint ist oder wenn man zwar der richtige Adressat ist, aber nicht persönlich gemeint ist. Alles soll man persönlich in Empfang nehmen, an sich ran lassen, wenn es einem adressiert ist. In dem Sinne soll man alles persönlich nehmen, aber postwendend persönlich nehmen, polarisierend. Und man soll es tun, um das Distanzschaffen zu trainieren. So ein mimetisches Persönlichnehmen ist eine Kulturtechnik, die unter anderem kalendarisch organsiert wird, darum feiern ich zum Beispiel den 20. Januar, obwohl ich da bisher weder geboren noch gestorben bin und es nur der Tag der heiligen Fabian ist. Die Leser dürfen mitfeiern, ich nehme das persönlich, postwendend, tu quoque. Man darf sich verwechseln, aber nur zum Distanzschaffen. Man ist man selbst im übertragenen Sinn, schon der erste Thomas war ein Thomas im übertragenen Sinne.

Wie heißt dieses Bild in anderen Sprachen? Fangen wir nur bei dem Auto(r) an, sonst ist es too much, too soon. Carravagio ist der, der den scarlet-letter malt,die Scharte, die Schalung, die Schale, die Scharre, Schwarte, Schwarze oder Scharte, das Fleisch, das Auto (Car/Porsche), die Kirche (church) die Kur vague fährt/ führt, der wagt und verschlingen lässt. Carra vagio. DU KARRIERE, ICH WANDERE, oder kurz so: Du Tarzan, ich Juno.

Der Name Caravaggios klingt wie ausgedacht, ist er ja auch. Carravagio übersetzt Caravaggio und das übersetzt man im Juni am besten mit Traumwandler, im Dezember am besten mit einem traumatisierten und verschlingenden Aufschneider. Thomas ist bei ihm und er bei Thomas.

@acidcaught asked : i wish you would get up earlier. i'll make us some coffee and we'll watch the sun rise. it's nice and quiet.

harv lets her crash here — same with holls. maybe it’s knowing the history of where she lives — the one place nobody would think to look. martha and thomas’ ghosts haunt a doorstep they’ve never known — the gunshot intended for her resounds in her head sometimes. he’s always one to want to help, and she likes being around him. he’s her guy, she’ll say sometimes, kiss the most scarred part of his cheek whenever it’s within her proximity. “you know,” she stretches —days when she’s not working she does tend to try to sleep in — it doesn’t always work, but it does mean she’s out from five to about seven, eight. she seldom indulges in sunrises, “tomorrow. not the worst idea you’ve ever had, wonderboy.” she punctuates it with a squeeze of his shoulder, infinitely kind.
