Alphabet associations - I

[Tapiola]

Turns out, Ducks, men are deceivers ever.

Noooooo. Never.

[Tapiola]

mercia has very wisely leapfrogged X. But having to set W reminded me of a recent pre-order on US Amazon of the complete Tamayo recordings of Xenakis orchestral music - 5 cds for 15-odd dollars (the price has doubled now). Couldn't sniff at that. Of course, it hasn't arrived yet, but the single disc I have of this series is mighty impressive, playing wise and recording wise.

I'm starting to feel a bit like that strange kleines c character on the old R3 boards who used to start threads and then talk to himself for several messages without reply from any real person. I always thought he was some sort of computer-generated entity, devoid of any real opinion.

Maybe I am just drunk.

[Anna]

But, but, I still do not get the partial sympathy bit of it? Wolf?

[Tapiola]

Here, Anna.

Partial = overtone (almost).

Sorry, I would elucidate further only it is so late. Sympathetic vibrations. rubbers was onto something earlier...

[Nick Armstrong]

Anyway, An Education. Turns out, Ducks, men are deceivers ever.

But is the film any good, Anna?

I buy RT every week, strange throw back to growing up at home when it was a weekly feature of life. I quite like having the schedules in printed form. Call me old-fashioned...

Oi! Caliban, you're old fashioned!

I don't know why rubbers thought An Education was a rubbish film. I enjoyed it enormously but possibly it's one of those coming of age/feel good factor films that appeal more to gurlies than big butch bikers?

I see it's available on iplayer.

Awww - toot toot!! Steam's better than diesel-electric, you know Anna

a Y composer, among whose works:

- sport venue entrance (opus 98)
- you & me
- cat-killing suite

Riffling through the Op. 98s to try and get the sports venue connection.... 'An die ferne Geliebte', 'Wiegenlied', the odd Suite and Sonatina, Brahms 4... Ah! Door 4 at Wembley Stadium??



More thought required...

EDIT: just reread question and saw that the Y is the composer, hadn't spotted that

Ysaÿe didn't write 98 things...

Well, as the only person on here to whom you could possibly be referring as 'a big butch biker', Anna, I'd have to confound your stereotypes and say that I enjoyed this fillum

[mercia]

opus 98, no. 3 - come to think of it, not just football grounds, racecourses etc. but the London underground too

[mercia]

Y is not a surname

[vinteuil]

Y is not a surname

that's a relief - I was running out of Ysayë, Yturri, Ygdrassil - and didn't want to think it wd be anything so predictable as LaMonte Young...

[mercia]

thinking again, the barriers on London underground have changed since I last went on it. You used to have to press your body against one of three metal tubes that rotated as you removed your ticket. What is that type of barrier called?

Well I'm sorry old flower, but I'm only coming up with 'turnstile'

And Y only comes into it as 'Y do the turnstiles have to be set so low'

EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnstile

[mercia]

Turnstiles opus 98 no 3 by a composer whose first name begins with Y

what killed the cat?

you & me = ?
