I love this singer


Thanks to my friend Mireille who alerted me to this video I am now Tuva's biggest fan! Her voice is so pristine and honest and it sounds just so darn easy. I want some of that!! Plus can it get any better than Handel?

Feldenkrais at work

This is Moshe Feldenkrais at work on a woman with whiplash. It is remarkable for the work he does with the woman and also for the way he treats her - perhaps it wouldn't be tolerated today!!

the fuzz talk

A fascinating inside view of us. literally.
It certainly convinces me to move my body. How about you?!

what english sounds like to the non-english speaker

So here it is. I think it is rather telling that in a lot of pop songs (and arts songs for that matter) I understand about as many words as I do in this.
is it the lack of diction? is it the distracting hip thrusts or wild hair tosses? I think I'd like to be distracted by some hip thrusts in a Copland song. Wouldn't that be something!

other things you can do with bikes... who knew!

Bikes bikes bikes
I've been thinking a lot about bikes. My Rocky Mountain hangs languishing in the funny room and I feel like I have betrayed it by buying a new fancy bike (the Radish) and by checking out new single bikes. Am I cheating on it? If I had taken good care of it I wouldn't be lusting after new wheels...

Had I known about these possibilities with bikes when I was a little girl would C and I have become tandem bike trick athletes instead of stand partners in orchestra? (We never were stand partners in orchestra come to think of it...hmmm)
