It was a little like whalesong for a moment. I think I can now name two Taylor Swift songs. For me now, the ratio of media TS references encountered to identifiable songs is 600 to 2. |

![]() @VP: speaking of the NFL, the history of the Super Bowl half-time show is hilarious. George Burns once performed! Carol Channing has performed twice! The performing group with the most half-time shows under its belt? Up With People! Good grief, people! |

Carol Channing would be the peak of everything. No point in continuing after that. Seriously. |

i was thinking of cecile when i heard phil rudd was under arrest for trying to have two unnamed new zealanders killed. i thought it might be the flight of the conchords dudes. |

![]() glenn, I was just thinking "Thank God it's something with kids again." |
![]() |
![]() @Rev. TD: true, but if we'd stopped after Channing, there wouldn't have been a Prince half-time show, and Kurt would not be happy. Or Edward James Olmos narrating a half-time show about the "Tapestry of Nations". Or the Indiana Jones-themed half-time show. Come on, those last two sound like must-sees! And if we'd stopped after the first Channing show, we wouldn't have gotten the second one, which was a tribute to Louis Armstrong with Ella Fitzgerald and Al Hirt. I just want to know what those 3 did... |

why does anybody actually give a flying fuck WHAT taylor swift thinks, says or does? |

![]() I'm not a huge Taylor Swift fan, but I salute her for having the business acumen from a young age to hang on to her song rights and actively manage how her music is distributed and marketed. Managing to make a living in music, do what you want, and also not have all your money stolen through bad business deals, shady managers etc. is a good thing, considering the long history of bands, singers and songwriters who are good at the music bit but don't understand the business side, and end up getting shafted as a result. |

Or at least another beer lined up? |
![]() |
![]() @Cecile: I think an actual tapestry might make for a more appetising line-up than the original Tapestry of Nations line-up was. These half-time info bits weird me out. I never realised the U2 half-time show was supposed to be a 9/11 tribute. And George Burns starring in a half-time show that starts with "Ghost Riders in the Sky" and ends with "When You Wish Upon a Star"? Ooo-kay... The Indiana Jones half-time show starred Miami Sound Machine, Tony Bennett and Patti Labelle? Whuh? |

![]() |
![]() Exactly, Cecile! Or the WFMU half-time show. I'm imagining a shorter version of the Hoof & Mouth Symphonia, with some guest stars, like Yo La Tengo. And possibly a finale involving Ken floating away in a lawn chair tied to balloons. |

Fri. 11/7/14 4:48pm
Dean:
rothwell nailed it. From Einbond's Wordpress page: "Texts, fragments, translations, and paraphrases — from Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, Matsuo Basho, and Douglas Huebler among others — come together with field recordings, solar data, internet searches, found objects, and vocal and instrumental samples from the performers themselves in a work that could be described by a term borrowed from concrete poetry: verbivocovisual." | |
