Calgary Film opening gala selection celebrates Indigenous music

Untangling the myth and legacy of Glenn Gould
Eighty-five years after his birth, and 35 years after his death, Glenn Gould is still Canada’s biggest classical musician. Sure, the very term “classical music” invokes reverence for the past, but are we too fixated on our most famous pianist? And to what extent is Gould, an iconoclast back in the 1950s, truly relevant now?
Hello
Good day to you!
I have to go out so I am leaving you in charge. Try not to break anything.
Mmmm. Your absence will brake things.
Hello hello! And see you when you get back, Garfield
Also, why is ‘break’ a homonym of ‘brake’ and not of ‘peak’?
That is a rhetorical question. That I am posing to myself, obviously.
I sit corrected. Good morning, Janet!
Glad that one is rhetorical, I don’t think I can answer it
Actually, the non-rhetorical answer is usually “because the pronunciation changed, but not the spelling”.
I’m out too for a bit. (I need to drop the car off somewhere for 12:30, but it’s getting so damned hot, I think I’ll do it right now. The point being the cycle ride back…)
Oh that makes sense.
ttfn
Farewell! Does this mean I’m here talking to myself? Might be a quiet conversation.
Not really.
That’s a relief!
Good morning everyone!
Chicken With An Addiction To Tim Hortons Keeps Crossing The Road
https://jalopnik.com/chicken-with-an-addiction-to-tim-hortons-keeps-crossing-1818759074
I guess that answers the question!
FINALLY, A DECENT ANSWER TO THE CHICKEN CROSSING THE ROAD QUESTION! (In caps because it’s important.)
Janet put it succinctly.
@Benoit…. it’s all about the Timbits.
The chicken crossing the road to KFC was seen once and never again….
Au contraire, it was found, dismembered and battered…
Haha!
Hi folks. I am glad the chicken question is finally answered.
I am glad Halifax Pop Explosion is taking steps toward finding solutions to stop sexual assault before it happens. And holy shit that festival in Sweden better figure something out!
I hope the early interventions work for HPE. I like that the training focuses on getting volunteers to step in early
Me too Janet.
We had quite a few indigenous artists at our Playing for Change Day event. It was cool being a part of the round dance.

Thanks for sharing the video of the round dance, Darbar!
Archie Weenie that was leading that sang some great songs before it. He has just picked up the guitar again in the last few years and has a great voice. He’s a pretty cool dude .
I am back
Hi back. Welcome.

Do we have any fans of Richard Ayoade or John Oliver?

I did not know Richard Ayoade but it was cool to see the young John Oliver. I will have to watch the rest later.

Moss!
He sure was young.
And John Oliver must really have been a starving artist at that point – look how skinny he was!
Ha! they had some great shirts on the IT Crowd.
RTFM!
this was the best IT Crowd, IMO
