Concert Montreal-Vienna 10 February

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:00:57 -0500

Upcoming contemporary keyboard society concert!

We are about to turn six years old - and to celebrate, we perform at Montreal’s Chapelle historique du Bon-Pasteur on the 10th of February. We are excited to be working with Karlheinz Essl thanks to the generous support of the Austrian Cultural Forum to bring you the harpsichord version of Gold.Berg.Werk and Sequitur V for toy piano and electronics. Also on the programme are pieces by young Montreal composers for keyboards and electronics: the world premiere by Jimmie LeBlanc and a new work by Maxime McKinley. Admission free.

I’m delighted with these images. The second one has been the background on my laptop for months now.

The internal erect clitoris.

From this great article about how the majority of the clitoris is internal.

jrblackwell:

It’s a lie, and we all know it.

We all know that what we see in magazines and online, images and video can be manipulated. We know that the people on the cover of magazines are photoshopped. We aren’t stupid. We know.

And yet. And yet, even though we know it, we still think “She’s beautiful, he’s let himself go, she’s still got it.”

Images can be manipulated, and I don’t just mean photoshop, I mean makeup and choosing where to point the camera, I mean angles. That’s what an artist does.

Katie West once pointed out, and I’m paraphrasing, that you only see what she wants you to see. I think about this concept a lot when I’m taking photos.

It’s easy to manipulate the eye. That is one of the first things you learn, as a photographer - where to crop, where to look, how to see it. After a while, you can make a healthy, glowing person look ill, and a ill person look healthy. Point the light this way, turn the camera that way and you’ve got your very own reality.

All of us know this, but we still are seduced by the illusion.

I am not sick. I am the healthiest I’ve ever been. Glowing. But I can show you what I want you to see, how I want you to see it. Next time, I’ll show you something else.

Wonderful people in the USA,

What a perfect reason to eat delicious girl scout cookies.

I love Buck Angel.

XO,

buckangel:

This is a video I made in response to the video made by the reportedly 14-year-old Girl Scout, parents and Scout alumni to boycott Girl Scout cookies because Girl Scouts has accepted transgender girls. I was a Girl Scout!
Please buy more Girl Scout cookies and help support them.
Please pass this video around I think it is an important message.

The window displays at Départ en mer are some of the most photographed in the Plateau, but who can resist?

Le vitrines au Départ en mer sont probablement les plus photographiés dans le Plateau-Mont-Royal, mais qui peut résister?

I’m very much a fan of the word cunt. (And I love the example of how to use it absurdly.)

jackscoresby:

“Cunt. It’s slang for vagina. It begins with a hard-c. It rhymes with punt, stunt and front. Use it lovingly, “that flower is opening up like a beautiful crimson cunt.” Use it with edge, “that little fucking cunt just cut me off.” Use it absurdly, “there’s a certain oaky cuntiness to this Merlot.” Use it frequently. And when someone balks or is morally offended, tell them it’s just a fucking word, lifted from a whore street in Old London and first used in print by James Joyce. Then gaze at them with judgmental disdain and tell them perhaps they’re the ones who need a morality check. Cunts.”

Because they’re nice to you, doesn’t mean they want you. Because they don’t notice when you touch them, doesn’t mean they’re encouraging you to. Because they laugh at your jokes, doesn’t mean they think you’re funny; many people laugh when they’re uncomfortable. Because they said no with a smile on their face, doesn’t mean they’re joking. Because you saw them naked online, doesn’t mean you can see them naked now. Because they posted their naked body on the internet, doesn’t mean there’s a standing invitation to treat them like a piece of meat. Because you think they want to fuck you, doesn’t mean they want to fuck you.

Okay? Okay.
