Things to do, and an Education.
- profile: contact Manojlovski
- art: first topic. should we focus on increasing funding for space exploration? happy sad / same sex / american. Hiro, little child, Bernatz, or maybe even Sona, cosmology professor, ooh maybe Owen! priest pastor.
- return calc to Joyce
- fix pentax camera
- sign up for yoga -- healthy lifestyle, please!
- "what's recurring is the theme of recurring"
- humor in art! humor in the loss of control. humor in repeated/automatic behavior.
- humor giving things meaning.
- "arms that surround you from the inside"
- "set me free, won't you stay, won't you lay"
- repetition as a demand to entry
- children and man with horse chasing the kids. man dies in gallows, but his music haunts the children. success, goal, is achieved.
- piper luring children with music
- the twisted angel logo
- imprinting
- ebisu
- ladies at train station listen to the song, go home, further imprint on their children.
- "hypnosis," spinning images, transformation, reveal what's real and not.
- music as a colonizing, psychological force. insidious.
- humor and irony is used here to make ideas palatable. ideas as plates, like dishes of food, and humor as a certain sauce to ease listeners into acceptance.
- "he's a bit of a politician" "he is building sense"
- the distinction between human and technology, is made. necessary?
- nostalgic, academic, accusatory, doomsday, warning tones. asking for a reception. did he get it?
- acousmetre: a voice without a body. because it is without a body, it has power. third man present in guitar without hands. third man's power is asserted. play on fear. radio > television. vocal power.
- role of power in human interaction and communication?
- disappointment with the visible third man, haunted by the third man without physical presence.
- sound of music. ridiculous or apt/limited or makes sense?
- maria = snake, or a moonbeam. narrator = manipulative or accurate.
- instead of total "liberation," there is a different structure being asserted. music as a camouflage to insidious deeds.
- pausing scenes of awkward positions and facial expressions: disclosing their vulnerability in contrast to his authority/manipulative power. (over the meaning of their actual clips)
- signals effort being made.
- does absurdity and sarcasm detract from validity
- talking about pop culture to an already cognizant audience, ironic?
- ridiculousness is emphasized through repetition.
- cognizant of his irony, and his own sense of humor.
- irony is not an opposite to sincerity. irony is complex. irony can be used for accuracy. only the simplest things can be said, articulated, without irony.
Guichanaso.
