i started digging into "Double"; there was a movie based on the novel, co-written by saramago though not half as good. the movie was "Enemy" with Jake Guyle... whateverhisnameis. there are parts so far that make me chortle out loud.

annie, i had no idea! so there's three saramago movies? or more?

i might not have given 'double' a fair chance. i just felt like if i wanted to read paul auster, i'd read paul auster.

Kurt Gottschalk:

"seeing" would make a fantastic movie. it's made for the screen.

this one is classic guffaw-stuff.. i'll check his film-ography, i know there was "stone raft", then "double". and another, too..

oh, right - "blindness" duh
Avatar 3:17pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

saramago apparently loved "seeing," too (we've probably talked about that). i'm not going out of my way to see any of them. i wouldn't be open minded enough.

Kurt Gottschalk:

unless it was terry gilliam who did "stone raft"
Avatar 3:18pm
annie:

yes, i'd have that problem, too; although the parts i saw of "the stone raft" were pretty close.
Avatar 3:19pm

tbh, i'd revel in hating them.

Pretty sure I heard Hug at Victo around the time of this recording.
Avatar 3:40pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

i saw her there with the group "six" with jacques demierre but that would have been several years after this record (first time i went to victo was 2001).

maybe we said 'hi' or something

Maybe I passed you the baton. Likely while perusing the recorded offerings at the table at each show.

and i carried it for 10 years or so and then just dropped it on the ground ...

A long time ago I added Nikhil Banerjee's 2-CD live performance at Kosmos on Raga records to my want list after reading a favorable review in Fanfare. For years I searched for it around Southern California. One day in Cerritos, an LA suburb with a large Indian community, I found a small Indian record store. I asked the clerk if she knew the record. She promptly got up, strolled to a bin, and plucked a copy for me. Damn, that was good.
  4:17pm
Dean:

Again in Cerritos, this time lunching at a vegetarian Indian restaurant, I mentioned to the server/proprietor that the music playing over the PA sounded like Kavi Alexander's work on Water Lily Acoustics. The response: "Kavi was here yesterday for lunch. He left the recording for me. It's the new release."

Best story involves Sviatoslav Richter's fabled recording from Sofia, Bulgaria, of Mussourgsky's "Pictures." I'd read in Jim Svejda's record guide that it's worth the coughing, wheezing audience, so I aimed to find it. This was early days of CDs, and it hadn't been reissued on the new format. Svejda himself doubted it would appear soon. (He was right, but it's now out.) I drove all over the greater LA area over the course of a couple weeks hunting for the LP. Nothing. Finally, I dropped into my buddy's mostly rock/folk/novelty record store one Sunday afternoon. There on the counter was a stack of used classical LPs he'd just acquired. My nose twitched. At the bottom of the pile, the Richter "Pictures." Cost me fifty cents.

I used to think it was impossible to find any post-war avant classica records, I had to make do w/ listening to LPs in the university music library. One trip to NYC to Other Music I saw a Xenakis record for $100. After who knows how many record stores, I ended up walking from my office to my car in downtown Jacksonville, I saw the library was having a record sale. I went in, and all LPs were 50 cents. I walked away w/ so many records I couldn't see where I was walking. Including many Cage, Varese, etc LPs, and the same Xenakis LP I saw in OM. The late 90s.early 2000s was the sweet spot for library/radio station record sales.

Harmonia Mundi used to mount a quarterly parking lot sale at its Robertson location in LA during the '90s. Prices were $2.00 and up per disk, and the catalog included a lot of new classical LPs and CDs. One that got away: the Wergo box set, LPs, of the Nancarrow player piano studies, maybe twelve bucks. Shoulda grabbed it. Didn't.
Avatar 4:54pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

damn
  4:55pm
Dean:

By "new classical" I meant "new music," but most of the records were sealed, too. Later, some guy opened a record store in Los Feliz, East Side Records, that was largely an outlet for HMU catalog records after the parking lot sales had discontinued. One weekend I walked out with, I kid you not, fifty CDs acquired at once. I believe some of them are yet unsealed. I subscribe to the Walter Benjamin approach to collecting.

Is this in fact derived from the Dvořák Slavonic Dance?

that i couldn't tell you

My guess is Dvořák couldn't, either.

dvořák was addicted to ringo's blood. he couldn't even tell you what day it was.

this is from a four-cd series called 'compositions,' all of which i love (and all quite nicely packaged). i think you can still get the set at a reasonable price on the physical editions site.
