tonight was a humbling experience. not that i had a lot of confidence to begin with but when it all fell apart, i was filled with the kind of satisfaction that only intense amounts of misery can bring.

Apparently A-Rod got with Madonna like 10 minutes after his baby was born. Well...he was seen entering her house right after. Gross. Every person in this story is disgusting. I do like her music though *ahem*.
- Actually, what I'm really interested in is if people support Madonna against her divorce with Guy Ritchie the same way they supported Paul McCartneyJaline
- people supported Paul McCartney and blasted Heather Mills.Jaline

I'm zoning out all the time now when speaking to people. Maybe I need a more exciting life. Or it's that health condition...

Listeners familiar with his erratic output of last couple of decades will know that when Scott Walker breaks those famously-long bouts of public inactivity the results can be perplexing, challenging and downright confrontational.
Commissioned by London’s South Bank Centre in 2006 to produce a score for a contemporary dance piece, Walker has turned in a series of oblique and angular strokes of the musical brush which coalesce into four edgy movements.
Whilst sharing the uneven contours that shaped The Drift as well as some personnel (including Mark Warman, co-producer Pete Walsh and Alasdair Molloy – seen in the recently released SW documentary 30th Century Man being instructed to slap and punch a side of pork for percussive effect), the biggest difference is the absence of Walker’s haunted croon.
The resulting chamber music has the strings, woodwind, and brass of the London Sinfonietta deploy terse motifs and abrupt flicks of rhythm slashing at the air, trading places with ambiguity, silence and solitude. Cinematic echoes abound. The taut grunt of the bowed basses evoke flashes of John Williams, Bernard Herrmann and Elizabeth Lutyens, whilst the dissonant churning of “4th Movement” has shrill galloping Louis Andriessen-like repetitions on the brass, colliding one on top of each other before being electronically accelerated into oblivion.
No stranger to the emotive cues and triggers required for movie soundtracks (in 1999 he provided the music to Leos Carax’ Pola X), this score provides ample opportunity for dancers to make their mark. A master of his entrances and exits, Walker gathers all the loose ends thrown up in to the air during the previous 20 or so minutes, distilling them into a sustained D chord, and thus providing the album with a powerful sense of mournful resolution.
No doubt it’ll be labelled ‘pretentious’ by members of the critical orthodoxy that, by and large, prefers musicians and artists to remain firmly inside the box into which they’ve been interred. Walker has never been one to conform to anyone’s expectations and having been in the game this long, he’s not about to start now.

I finally figured out why my site has been blocked in government buildings and other companies with filters. I had a directory called "sex", which was just an inside joke between myself, gramme, and creative-*. Although, I didn't have that directory a few months ago and thought my site was still blocked at work. Anyway, I got rid of it and my site is accessible now.
* Don't think you will remember, but I just had jaline.ca/sex with plain text: "be creative-". Someone requested I make that directory before as a joke.
I'm blogging this here because quite a few QBN members have told me they can't access my site at their place of work.

The blog thread reminds me of a story the late football legend, George Best used to tell...
'...having been in the casino all night, I had won thousands of pounds and managed to pick up the current Miss World, Mary Stavin. We had retired to the most expensive hotel room and Mary was naked under the covers with money scattered all over the bed when a room-service waiter, delivering vintage champagne, enquired: Mr Best, where did it all go wrong?'
- So Mr Madison, where did it all go wrong?creative-
