There is no plan or broad purpose.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-43676417935450950562011-12-07T16:58:44.018+00:002011-12-07T16:58:44.018+00:00Plutarch: I appreciate that.

I'm not actually blaming Radiohead since if I'd been listening to Cosi fan Tutte for the first time I'd have had the same problem. Had I felt like issuing any blame I'd have been blaming myself since Lorenzo da Ponte wrote the words. Something I intend to blog about some time or another. I'm impressed that you have a Radiohead disc.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-15520835821146936532011-12-07T15:48:29.447+00:002011-12-07T15:48:29.447+00:00While composing an apology for my unexpected and u...While composing an apology for my unexpected and unsought illustrated appearance as a disciple, I mean follower, next to the masthead of Tone Deaf, I found myself listening to my only Radiohead disc "Hail to the Thief". I like the words possibly because the producers courteously include the "lyrics" and I was able to read them. I wonder whether they are more important than the music. One of my failings is seldom to be able to catch many of the words of a song. I for one need Tone Deaf for that reason and because, much as I love music, I seem unable to know or decide what is good enough to recommend to anyone else, for fear of being considered naive or ignorant. I need terms of reference, scales of appreciation to compare with my own tentative leanings.<br />That's from someone who can't refrain from recommending books and pictures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.com
