Ugly Animal Pictures Biography
I might be accused of being a speciesist if you were to read in my other post about my thoughts on drinking goat's milk (from a companion animal goat, leading a natural life, and not being harmed or having it's children harmed by me consuming a small amount of her milk)
so that made me think, if i'm okay with consuming goat's milk if the above circumstances are in place...then am i therefore okay with consuming "women" milk or cheese if it was available?
and i think i would, if i enjoyed the taste of it...and if it was being given to me by a healthy, willing female...
so that lead me to think of cannibalism...as a new topic i'd be curious to hear input on...i guess i think that eating humans is just as weird as eating animals...but if i was starving and all that was available was a dead human...why shouldn't i eat it? have you ever read or seen the movie: Alive? it's a true story of 16 people who survived for 72 days in the Andes by eating their comrades who had died in the plane crash, since they had no other food...
so what does vegan philosophy say about eating animals to survive starvation? or even eating humans to survive, if there is no other alternative...i might be accused of being a speciesist if you were to read in my other post about my thoughts i also sang from the pit of my stomach (a tense stomach) the way kurt cobain said he did, and the combination of these techniques made something i can be happy with. can't wait to do this to an aria!
so here's my thought: enough of this italian language fascism. all languages are important and tasty, but the route to that experience comes through one's own native language. there are so many accents in this country! ren woods singing "aquarius", or jollie holland singing "lakes of ponchartrain", and if you listen to mathieu chedid singing "belleville rendezvous" in english through his french, he makes the english words so interesting through his intimacy with them.
how are you going to dig into some verdi recit. without having done the same in your own vernacular?
some american operas make this possible, even if we don't take advantage of it. how many times have you heard an opera singer sing summertime as if it was french? i know i know, it's way up there, that's gershwin's fault. when mozart started writing singspiel, i'm sure his singers felt like they were singing an italian opera in german, which they were, but because of their persistence, wagner was eventually able to write something that took advantage of the german literary and song tradition and was still opera, and even extended the resources of opera. when tchaikovsky wrote evgenii onegin everyone called him an italian, but if you listen to galina vishnevskaya sing tatiana, she sounds like a contemporary russian, not someone singing in a foreign language.
i would say bernstein's candide is a european opera with english words, a good start. stephen sondheim, also good. hair and west side story... those don't take full advantage of our opera heritage, much less the developments of modernist orchestral writing, but they're authentic social commentary, which is completely necessary, and they also use many of our american musical resources - electric guitars, native uses of the voice, american dances... what could we do now with the resources that we have?! dj's and banjos!

back after breakup
i've been droning. i live in brooklyn in a room like a practice room. i found a mirror on the street and i lost my will to sing schoenberg so i match pitch with songs i used to hear on the schoolbus radio and i sing sa and pa and ni.
chris and i broke up. i've been crying for a long time.
i'm still trying to figure out the life/work thing. i reread Air Guitar by Dave Hickey, which makes me feel like capitalism, or at least mercantilism can be a field for... transgression? either that or living in new york is making me feel like maybe i could... play along?
then again, blasphemy! i guess i'm not suppose to say that i always hear more music coming out of the pj's than out of the conservatories when i bike by. just saying. it just seems like the people who have been creating american culture for the past 100 years have been only marginally associated with capitalism.
you know, tony conrad wrote some really beautiful little songs. so weird!on drinking goat's milk (from a companion animal goat, leading a natural life, and not being harmed or having it's children harmed by me consuming a small amount of her milk)
so that made me think, if i'm okay with consuming goat's milk if the above circumstances are in place...then am i therefore okay with consuming "women" milk or cheese if it was available?
