First, a piece of self-generated filler: I was testing for dead links and discovered that Haiku Review<\/a> has finally published the Richard Tipping<\/a> review they asked me for about three years ago, and which I submitted to them<\/a> about two years ago:<\/div>\n

Les techniques sont semblables \u00e0 ceux employ\u00e9es par des \u00abpirates de l’air de m\u00e9dias\u00bb et autre activistes, qui ont puisqu’alternativement coopt\u00e9 et reassimilated par industrie de publicit\u00e9. Quant \u00e0 la bureaucratie, travaux tels que retentir le silence \u00eatre maladroit dans leur monumentality et leur contenu didactique, d\u00e9finissant un message \u00e9difiant que n’importe quel bureaucrate ou conseil \u00e0 l’\u00e2me noble pourrait approuver.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s also available in Dutch, Korean, Portugese, and English, among other languages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

All Kinds of Stuff<\/span><\/div>\n
John Kricfalusi<\/a> regularly updates his blog with lots of strongly held opinions about cartoons: in particular, the aspects of art, design, writing and acting that go into them, and the way that corporate economics can screw them up. His last posts have been observing the decline of cereal box artwork, and the difference between acting and dialogue performed by a real person<\/a>, and performed by a cartoon:<\/div>\n

I had just read the script for “Disco Droopy” and someone tipped me off on where the scriptwriter was hiding out…. I chased him down and began to deliver God’s justice upon him… reality sunk in slowly; it produced a last rebellious and futile spasmic outcry. This is what artists face every day of their lives in the terrible icy world of animation scripts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The real surprise in this post is his brief reference at the end to the extensive restoration work<\/a> recently done on Ren and Stimpy<\/span>, salvaging scenes from an old VHS tape. They had to restore <\/span>Ren and Stimpy.<\/span> What has the world come to?<\/div>\n

Music Stuff<\/span><\/p>\n

Composer Daniel Wolf has been posting frequently on Renewable Music<\/a> about the ways that music seeps into other parts of life, including a recent series on Music Landmarks (see the sidebar), a bit like The Rambler’s Music Since 1960<\/a> series.<\/div>\n
Finally, WFMU has video of John Cage performing his Water Walk<\/span><\/a>, complete with bathtub, pressure cooker, blender and watering can (but not working radios) on the American TV game show I’ve Got A Secret<\/span>, in 1960. The previous year, Cage had performed his music on the Italian quiz show Lascia o Raddoppia<\/span>, where as a contestant he won enough money to buy a minivan for Merce Cunningham’s dance company. Has any composer beaten Cage’s record for TV game show appearances?<\/div>\n
In case you hadn’t guessed from the description, the video is a great bit of fun.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
