Zach the King (of Magic)
I just stumbled across Zach the King. Delightful video editing and fun vignettes.
“Mercy,” short violin-piano piece by Max Richter
I'm loving this musical offering by Max Richter (performed by Hilary Hahn and C. Smythe). So short, sweet and deep.
On the stealing of jokes and cryptomnesia
What is a trope? The website TV Tropes explains:
A trope is a storytelling device or convention, a shortcut for describing situations the storyteller can reasonably assume the audience will recognize. Tropes are the means by which a story is told by anyone who has a story to tell.How often have you watched a new movie or TV show and noticed that it is drenched in tropes? I notice this constantly. TV shows and movies resemble other movies and shows so often that some have written, tongue in cheek, that there are actually only an extremely limited number of plots. Are there only seven plots? Are there only six plots? [More . . . ]

This is some rather amazing sculpture. Take a look.
Waters of March – Video
I love this tune and this video. The male singer is "Tom Jobim," who is also the composer of that beautiful celebratory tune and many other classic bossa nova tunes, more often known in the U.S. as Antonio Carlos Jobim. I had never before heard him sing until I saw this video. The female singer, Elis Regina, melts me with her charm and voice. This must have been a tough tune and they seemed delighted to get this one in the can so beautifully intact. My girlfriend insists that there is no way to sing this song well without dancing while one is singing it. I agree.
