In the spirit of the season, I thought it would be nice if we exchange gifts by giving each other a link to a favorite site.

Here's mine: To all lovers of really terrible music:

http://www.miserablemelodies.com/

This is one of my favorite all-time sites. If you like music that's so bad that it transcends the very idea of taste, this is the place for you. If you want to hear Eilert Pilarm, the "Swedish Elvis", or Lou Reed's "Take a Walk On The Wild Side" sung by a 73 year-old German chanteuse, or Attorney General John Ashcroft singing a patriotic chest-thumper ("Fly Eagle Fly"), or William Shatner chewing the scenery in "Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man", they're all here. The tunes download fast, and the stuff is just amazing.
(My own favorite is the Portsmouth Sinfonia doing "Thus Spake Zarathustra". Not to be fucking believed.)

Merry Christmas all, and Happy Hannukah too.

Mab., what a fine idea, and gift. Muchas gracias.

I offer a link to one of my favorite singers, Lila Downs. She's a remarkable talent and real musician. Here's the first para. of her online bio:

"Lila Downs grew up in the Sierra Madre mountains of southern Mexico, in the state of Oaxaca, and also in Minnesota in the U.S.A. Daughter of a Scottish-American cinematographer/painter, who came to Mexico originally to make a documentary about the blue-winged teal’s annual migration from Canada to the Yucatan Peninsula. He met Anita, Lila’s mother, a Mixtec-Indian woman, who sang in Mexico city."

I've seen her in person, in a small theater in SF's Mission District. Todos: see her if you get a chance. Listen to her. We don't have enough beauty in our lives, CDs are cheap for this.

Lila Downs

Feliz Navidad,

Perdita
 
Good idea Dr Mab.

One of my favourite sites is:

"It was a dark and stormy night..."

The contest winners are examples of writing at its worst.


One of my favourite people was Gerard Hoffnung:

http://www.musicweb.force9.co.uk/music/hoffnung/index.htm

"The Bricklayer" is worth listening to, as are the Hoffnung Concerts with the Domestic Symphony for vacuum cleaner and similar instruments.

A version of The Bricklayer is included in The Darwin Awards site:

but the original recording is much better.

The Bricklayer's Song
The Bricklayer's Lament was told by Gerard Hoffnung at the Oxford Union, December 4th, 1958. More recently it was converted into a song, which The Corries sang. The song is attributed to "Cooksey/Hoffnung/Murphy-Cop Con".

Dear sir I write this note to you to tell you of my plight,
For at the time of writing it, I'm not a pretty sight,
My body is all black & blue, my face a deathly grey,
And I write this note to say why I am not at work today.


While working on the 14th floor some bricks I had to clear,
But tossing them down from such a height, was not a good idea,
The foreman wasn't very pleased, he is an awkward sod,
and he said I had to cart them down the ladders in me hod.


Well clearing all these bricks by hand, it was so very slow,
So I hoisted up a barrel and secured a rope below.
But in me haste to do the job, I was too blind to see,
That a barrel full of building bricks was heavier than me.


And so when I untied the rope, the barrel fell like lead,
And clinging tightly to the rope, I started up instead.
I shot up like a rocket, and to my dismay I found
That halfway up I met the bloody barrel coming down.


Well, the barrel broke me shoulder as to the ground it sped,
And when I reached the top, I banged the pulley with me head.
But I clung on tightly, numb with shock, from this almighty blow,
While the barrel spilled out half its bricks some fourteen floors below.


Now when these bricks had fallen from the barrel to the floor,
I then outweighed the barrel & so started down once more.
But I clung on tightly to the rope, me body wracked with pain,
And halfway down I met the bloody barrel once again.


The force of this collision halfway down the office block,
Caused multiple abrasions and a nasty case of shock,
But I clung on tightly to the rope as I fell towards the ground,
And I landed on the broken bricks the barrel had scattered round.


Well as I lay there on the floor I thought I'd passed the worst,
But the barrel hit the pulley wheel & then the bottom burst.
A shower of bricks rained down on me; I didn't have a hope.
As I lay there bleeding on the ground I let go the bloody rope.


The barrel now being heavier, it started down once more.
It landed right across me as I lay there on the floor.
It broke three ribs and my left arm, and I can only say,
"I hope you'll understand why I am not at work today."

Hmm.
I have it on an LP with The Dubliners. I don't know when it was recorded, but it is presented like this:

"Well, here's a song that was written eight or nine years ago by a friend of mine, and it's called The Sick Note."

...and a few lines were different. Spotted immediately since I always gets to sing it at parties, since I can fake the most horrible english 'working class' accent you've ever heard.

So, how shall it be? :confused:


Presents you said? If you haven't seen it...

Back to the beginning. Look under Classical Music and listen to Florence Foster-Jenkins singing "Queen of the Night".

The lady used to hire Carnegie Hall for her annual performances and would fill it!

dr m's link is still:

http://www.miserablemelodies.com/

The Portsmouth Sinfonietta is also worth avoiding.

Before opening Dr. Mabeuse's present, heed the warning posted at the site. I didn't, and when my dog heard Pat Boone singing, Love Hurts, she called PETA and is having me arrested for felony animal abuse as soon as the cops arrive.

Warning: Some material on this site has been known to disturb household pets and some reptiles.

Thanks, Dr. Mabeuse. Do you know a good bail bondsman?

In gratitude, here's a classic gift that has kept on giving ever since Al Gore invented the internet (no, I have no idea why it's spelled that way.)

To all shoe lovers I dedicate:

http://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk Note

and

http://www.centuryinshoes.com

The first is amusement, the second actually very informative as well as being an excellently crafted site.

I am not wishing any one a Happy Christmas until Christmas week. This not be interpreted as mean spirited, I just want to get there and then celebrate.

Note - This is not shoes for carrots :D

The Dover Pageant

This one is serious.

http://www.doverpageant.co.uk/

I took part in the 2002 event. The performers outnumbered the audience, most of whom were relations of the performers.

You can see Og full screen as Henry VIII if you click on Henry VIII's picture. Not for the squeamish.

The Dover Pageant is one of the weird things the English get up to. The video is appallingly bad.

Another Xmas Present

It took me a little while to locate where I had filed this http://www.neonsky.com

This is one of the most beautiful sites I have ever seen. The middle 'square' linking to Joe Thompson contains wonderful music and imagery. I can thoroughly recommend this as a uplifting present that you may wish to pass on to friends.

If Flika tunes in - something along these lines is what I was think of :D

Will's

PS Flika if you don't know them already see "Friends of Ed" top left of mattrix - lots of great designer stuff on their threads.
