Murray Hill Inc. Runs For Congress

February 3rd, 2010

Public relations firm Murray Hill Inc. is making a (satirical) run for Maryland’s 8th Congressional District.

The campaign’s designated human, Eric Hensal, will help the corporation conform to antiquated “human only” procedures and sign the necessary voter registration and candidacy paperwork. Hensal is excited by this new opportunity. “We want to get in on the ground floor of the democracy market before the whole store is bought by China.”

Take-Away Shows

January 11th, 2010

Did you see this collection of bands playing impromptu public performances? Quite a few good indie bands make appearances: Phoenix, Yo La Tengo, Fleet Foxes, Sigur Rós, The Walkmen, and so on. Produced/organized by la Blogotheque.

On the subject of Lisztomania:

After 1842 “Lisztomania” swept across Europe. The reception Liszt enjoyed as a result can only be described as hysterical. Women fought over his silk handkerchiefs and velvet gloves, which they ripped to shreds as souvenirs. Helping fuel this atmosphere was the artist’s mesmeric personality and stage presence. Many witnesses later testified that Liszt’s playing raised the mood of audiences to a level of mystical ecstasy.
