John Bird and John Fortune (the Long Johns) (who I think surely must have written that interview "the front fell off" in the last post) here brilliantly describing the mindset of the investment banking community in this "interview." Shows how great comedy is for pointing out the ridiculousness of things. The only trouble is no one takes it seriously.

I will sing forever
"I will sing forever" sung by Christ Church College (and probably we could listen to I will sing forever, forever. I love the words and the whole idea of singing for your creator as your life's work. it's a great prayer. and this song makes me very happy and sad at the same time. Plus well, it's those chorister bell like voices that completely do you in. my nephew was a chorister once and of course it was completely hopeless. we spent most of the services not being able to see with the tears in our eyes.)
children again
The 16 snowflakes dance at the heart of the storm in The Nutcracker
"At this and every point of this 'Nutcracker,' we’re children again. So much drama is about the loss of innocence or of paradise in some form, but here is an enthralling tale of innocence preserved and paradise discovered." Alastair MacCaulay in The Times.
He also points out something interesting. Have you noticed how lately it's being referred to as "George Balanchine's 'The Nutcracker' TM"? Aside from the TM which is irritating, what about Tchaikovsky?
