“Sometimes normal musical imagery crosses a line and becomes, so to speak pathological, as when a certain fragment of music repeats itself incessantly, sometimes maddeningly, for days on end.”(100). This is called “brain worms” and it is something we all have to deal with at one point or another because of music constantly surrounding us. It does not seem like a big deal, but it is, especially when it
This did play into the intensity and mood of each scene, allowing the audience to not understand the emotions existing between each individual but to fully feel and experience that emotion. So due to this small blemish it at times caused a domino affect that caused the structure of the production to crumble upon itself. Overall 110 in the Shade was an exceptional musical. I believe Mr. William Bradford, the director of this production, maintained the homey and simplistic nature of this production and instilled that characteristic within the foundation of the play. But I believe it was enhanced by the carefully selected cast, that were more than capable of fulfilling each of their individual roles and submitting their character to the ‘grand scheme’ of things.
A Language of Metaphors Metaphor is the language of poetry, emotion, and a part of everyday life. Without metaphor one could not verbally express deep emotions. Therefore, it is one of our most important threads of language. The term metaphor is also commonly used for the terms that are not a part of rhetoric; for instance it is used for conceptual metaphor, which is said to be the understanding of one idea, or conceptual domain in terms of another, for example, one person's life experience versus others. The regularity with which different languages employ the same metaphors, which often appear to be perceptually based, has led to the hypothesis that the mapping between conceptual domains corresponds to neural mappings in the brain.
The sound is loud, and for the most part has aged well. The mosh pit of noises that occurs in The Night Of The Living Baseheads is truly outstanding while still being listenable. Regarding the annoying sounds, it’s clear that Public Enemy doesn’t really care if you like it or not, it’s the fact that they dare you to not like it is what makes it listenable. And honestly I don’t think the ‘whistle’ sample of Rebel Without A Pause is as bad as the constant squeal sound in Don’t Believe The Hype. The other factor that takes away from this album is the two rock-rap songs, (She Watch Channel Zero!?
The dynamics were very forte because the vocalist, Vic Fuentes has a very strong and passionate voice that electrifies and brings to life every lyric. The tempo was allegro, as I said it was very fast paced and made you want to dance. The instrumentation was fabulous, the musicians, Jaime Preciado: Bass, Tony Perry: Guitar, and Mike Fuentes: Drums (who is my idol because I play the drums as well) are by far the best musicians I’ve ever heard in a post hardcore band. They take their music seriously, while also having fun and never losing their unique sound. “Yeah Boy and Doll Face” As they played this very beautiful and romantic song, they pulled up a girl from the crowd and Vic sang it to her.
I believe I’m moderately intuitive because I worry about my future more then the past and often have doubts. I like unusual things this is also a trait shared by many intuitive types. The feeling personality this one I can see suites me because most of my activities is motivated by my feelings. This test describes that feeling types are introverted people and there feelings can easily pass their moods own to
Writers share the rituals of writing—or not is an article by Geoff Pevere detailing the various rituals shared—and not shared—by an assortment of writers, ranging from poets and novelists, to journalists and cartoonists. I found this article both interesting and entertaining, but, as a writer, also very easy to identify with. According to Pevere, “the [writing] process always involves certain rituals of delay” (1). This “navigation of perpetual inertia” is definitely something that resonates with me as a writer (Pevere 1). For me, starting is always the most challenging and lavishly avoided aspect of writing.
Hammer throwing and horseshoes are sports that demand technique and strength. Tennis now an extremely popular sport today was played back then too, the rules were far simpler, but the game was adored as much as it is today. Sports played a big role in entertainment. Elizabethan entertainment played a big role in people’s lives and was very important to them. Life expectancy was very low and mortality rates were very high due to common outbreaks of plagues.
I can easily understand why the short story made such an impact in the literary and medical worlds. However, I have a hard time understanding how the story is enjoyable to read. Personally, I could not sit through the story and finish it in one sitting. The repetitive language and obsessive nature of the narrator gets extremely irritating. While other gothic tale’s we’ve read in class have been spooky, ironic, or at least entertaining, I feel that this story is literally sickeningly long.
Glassworks is a compilation album that contains six musical pieces. I will be covering this composition as if it were one continuous track. While I enjoy his piano work, this was my least favorite composer and musical selection. I enjoyed the first 7 minutes of this album and began to dislike it heavily around the 7:02 mark. The rhythm and tempo become over the top and in my opinion, it goes from amazing piano work to what seems to just be noise.
