Malibu morning picture of the day - Wednesday, July 9, 2014 "So Much Depends ..."

"So much depends on a little red pickup, dusted with highway dirt, beside the white parking slot stripes."

Yuk, yuk, yuk!  (If you don't get that, go back and crack open your college Bonehead English textbook.)

Hope you're havin' a good Wednesday. I'm having an absurd one.

Foolish mortals! Hyximinias the Terrible emerges from his
10,000-year slumber. Gaze upon his grim visage and DIE!

And mimicking yesterday's approach, here another emergent sun, overplaying his role once again.

SHUT UP, you gahd-damned drama queen!









On a musical note:
The director of my community band shared this blog which I must share with you all. It's hard to resist looking at something that has the headline:

"Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' Played with 167 Theremins Placed Inside Matryoshka Dolls in Japan"




Excerpted from Open Culture blog:

Back in 2011, in Tokyo, 167 musicians performed some classic Beethoven with the “Matryomin,” a new-fangled instrument that lodges a theremin inside a matryoshka. A matryoshka, of course, is one of those Russian nested dolls where you find wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside the other. As for the theremin, it’s a century-old electronic musical instrument that requires no physical contact from the player.  And via these links you can see the Matryomin Ensemble performing versions of Amazing Grace and Memory of Russia.

I hope that played for you. There is so much that can be said about this, but res ipsa loquitur. As I said, I'm off to a highly absurd Wednesday.

Have a good one.
Love,
Pops
