What did you think of the Rautavaara? I think you should go listen to Arcade Fire and MGMT's releases this year (not the next Modern Dance, but quite a bit of fun, especially Congratulations).
Nice points there and I agree with you on a lot, although I'll play around with what I thought a few days ago (I know right? This film just keeps returning into your head and asking you to find the real truth). I understand your concern about the ending with the kids, but don't you think that Nolan is just making the audience feel a connection between every time he sees them in that position, in that house, in those clothes and at that age but never looking at him, to when he actually finally does see them? I feel like its thematic correspondence and not contributing much to the deciphering of the real truth...
Also to me the chasing around scene is similar to one you see in Indiana Jones, where as you said, he takes out a few baddies and help is right there in front of him. It was also planned (as he did tell ____ [really bad with names here] to meet him up 30 minutes later) and doesn't exactly fit your description of a dream.
Would you like to explain more about the totem? I don't really understand how can it fall in your own dream. So since Limbo is not dreamed by anyone, would the totem topple? Have you heard of the ring debate as well? All this makes me want to see it again...
ahh i see thanks for that detailed description! i'll try to listen to it again and see what i think again. perhaps i might see something new.
wow you've devoted your attention to rock and jazz over the last 9 years??? thats a pretty long time...
wow big changes from what i saw last time
i think that hammerklavier and partita no. 2 should be way lower... although thats my personal opinion
anyways i was wondering whether you can spare a few minutes for a description of tabula rasa by paert? i'm not really convinced
oh and also i hope you'll think a bit about the other works by stravinsky and mahler and perhaps some prokofiev. there's the missa solemnis by beethoven as well
well i think its kinda overrated by Scaruffi i.e. its not as good as he says it is, but then it is an above average dark punk song which is quite emotional (perhaps haunting) with Bowie-like vocals. its far away from songs by Pere Ubu and Pop Group though.
well that is just your own opinions.
i might as well say that originality is no great virtue in all arts... i.e. chopin is better than beethoven, a random anime artist is better than van goph, and so on. obviously your definition of "best" is not mine.
i also do not like the idea of tearing down music to its simplest components and rebuild from that foundation... music is changing every minute just like this earth. by tearing down music to its simplest components and rebuilding from that foundation, what we humans would be doing is simply recycling ideas. my favourite classical musician is beethoven and guess why: he made huge innovations instead of simply taking bach's music and adding some of his own styles, just as mozart had done (of course i'm not saying that mozart was not original at all, but this is what makes me think that beethoven was better and perhaps best).
haha yeah global warming alarmists are seriously annoying sometimes.
i actually didn't pay much attention to the global warming chapter of the book.. perhaps on the el nino part and the ozone hole which were interesting and fun. i thought the biodiversity and air pollution chapters were seriously epic (: they were probably the ones which made me look at the whole thing differently, while i stayed skeptical about the things he said about forests and pesticides.

Anyone want to discuss the ending? It's as confusing as Memento's final flashback of "I Did It"... or perhaps less confusing actually.
Meh. Pandora's Box Original Sin was a disappointment. Have you listened to American Music Club's albums?
read dostoevsky. now.
Hey
Which version of the trial did you read?
ahh i see thanks for that detailed description! i'll try to listen to it again and see what i think again. perhaps i might see something new.

i wonder what are your views on the temple of love by sisters of mercy?
ahh i see cool
but none of his works qualify for a 9/10?
well that is just your own opinions.

hmm i see. And i definitely agree with that last sentence there
