Just made one for lunch. Ozersky is a genius:
How do I love Helen Mirren? Let me count the ways ….
Alexis Weissenberg (1982) – Sonate K 247 Allegro – he gets down into the melody like few other pianists:
You can’t buy that phone, but can you name that tune?
Brandenburg anyone?
There was a segment on MSNBC yesterday morning about Bethenny Frankel. She is a self-help guru. She is a “celebrity natural food chef.” She is a Real Housewife of New York. And she is really fucking annoying.
But how annoying is she, really? Incredibly annoying? She’s certainly no Paris Hilton. Moderately annoying? Heidi Montag and Justin Bieber fill that role every day. What we need people, is a scale. We need a shorthand. We should be able to say: “He’s Larry King annoying” and have others understand what we mean. So here are a few modest suggestions, starting with the least-annoying annoying person:
