If by “exotic” you mean “racist”

From the New York Time’s 1961 review of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”

Mickey Rooney’s bucktoothed, myopic Japanese is broadly exotic.

Reblogged for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Marin Alsop factors. Also, so I look high-brow, which I am not. 
nprmusic:


The opening of Strauss’ Zarathustra is one of the most recognizable musical excerpts in history. That unto itself always fascinates me: What makes a piece of music resonate with so many people? It can’t just be its commercial associations after the fact, because those associations invariably reference the emotional underpinnings of the music itself. I decided to try to analyze what makes this opening so universal.

cheatsheet:

Say hello to Rep. Jerry Nadler, the Congressman from New York who’s sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder demanding a full investigation of the NYPD and their conduct handling the ‘Occupy’ protesters. 


Jerry Nadler is also a longtime gay rights supporter. Important member of Congress!

I had been thinking that Pearl Harbor Day was a little played out. I mean, right?

John Waters on Christmas

I give my all my opinions about proper gifts to give, and the one thing you should never do at Christmas is — the rudest thing you can do at Christmas is — ask a fat person to play Santa Claus at your office Christmas party. And I go into further things. About proper presents, about, is Santa Claus erotic to people? Is Christmas sexual? 

  1. Did everyone else already know there was a new documentary about Divine?
  2. The photo of Club Charles makes me want to get a drink then go across the street to see a movie.

Priorities!

As a current participant in the [company’s] Transit or Parking Flexible Spending Account, your monthly election amount will roll over into 2012. Please be aware the monthly maximums have changed for 2012. The Transit monthly maximum is decreasing to $125.00. If you currently have a monthly election over $125, you will automatically be reduced to $125 on January 1. The Parking monthly maximum will increase to $240.00 starting January 1st, 2012. 

It’s important that the IRS discourage use of public transit and encourage use of cars, don’t you think? (It’s still enough for an unlimited monthly New York City metro card, but how is this good policy?)

Do you think they carefully arrange those books (and Emmy) to project the most NPR-y musical atmosphere as possible. I have that Indie Rock Coloring book, so I am not casting stones.
