“From its opening scene, Michael Mann’s feature debut announces its concern with a new type of thief. No more the delicate application of stethoscope – an instrument whose early 19th-century invention signalled a burgeoning alliance between the medical profession and the new science of acoustics. Frank (played by James Caan) breaks safes and... - http://monsterbobby.tumblr.com/post...
As wages bear less and less relation to the cost of living, it seems as good a time as any to ask if the underlying fantasy is that employers will one day be able to pay their workers nothing at all. - http://monsterbobby.tumblr.com/post...

I've been watching a lot of opera on dvd lately.What is it with these hack tv cameramen thinking their max ophuls? just shoot it wide ffs.
Also, how do you feel about bassoonists that bob their heads from side to side a bit during the bom-bo-bom-bo-bo-bo-bom bits?
What's your favourite type of orchestral double bassist? fat one that stands very straight or cranes forward to squint at the score?
is there anyway to get around this flash/chrome refusing to update on MacOS 5.8 thing? it's bloody annoying.

Back in 1968, Norman Mailer compared wandering around the Kennedy Space Centre’s enormous Vehicle Assembly Building to being “in the back of the stage at an opera house”. Forty-five years later, Mailer’s strange vision was partially fulfilled when the similarly proportioned NFAC Wind Tunnel at Nasa’s Ames Research Centre, test bed for Apollo and... - http://monsterbobby.tumblr.com/post...
![Back in 1968, Norman Mailer compared wandering around the Kennedy Space Centre’s enormous Vehicle Assembly Building to being “in the back of the stage at an opera house”. Forty-five years later, Mailer’s strange vision was partially fulfilled when the similarly proportioned NFAC Wind Tunnel at Nasa’s Ames Research Centre, test bed for Apollo and the space shuttle alike, became the backdrop for a performance of Ground Control, an opera, by the International Space Orchestra.
There have been operas about space before — Haydn’s Il Mondo della Luna featured a trip to the moon in 1777 — but none that have been written and performed by real astronauts and space scientists, working alongside international writers and composers, from Gorrillaz to Maywa Denki. “Of course now that she’s done it it’s obvious,” says science fiction author Bruce Sterling, who contributed lyrics to one of the opera’s arias, of the notion of a space opera by genuine space workers. “Before she did it, it was even more far-out than the domesticated living-room volcano she invented.”

Margate’s Tom Thumb Theatre gets some love from Lyn Gardner in The Guardian today in a review of the Vagina Monologues: “Dell’Olio turned up in what looked like her underwear and played shamelessly to the gallery. Or she would have, if the tiny 50-seater Tom Thumb – one of the smallest theatres in the world – had a gallery. It doesn’t. But it does... - http://monsterbobby.tumblr.com/post...

Lyn Gardner calls the Tom Thumb Theatre a "lovely little chocolate box theatre" in the Guardian today. I'm doing a gig there in a fortnight
