"Gould is the rare traditional classical musician whose records could really be called psychedelic, trippy, whatever, mostly because he's so obsessed with clarity in counterpoint that his Bach performances peal forth in multiply distinct melodic lines. Pretty much the audio equivalent of an MC Escher drawing/Vermeer self portrait, etc. Classical performers are quite the dry hoofs as a rule, but Gould was a pill-popping hypochondriac with temperature sensitivity & mysterious muscle problems brought on by sedentary hermeticism. His aesthetic outlook was (though nobody knows just how he picked it up) developed off the finer implications of Edmund Husserl's phenomenology, and then applied to Petula Clark, Ferrante & Teicher, & Walter Carlos records. Gould enjoyed watching tv while listening to multiple records at once, preferably while also talking on the phone at 3:30 am. Mostly ate saltine crackers & eggs, was unable to drive a car properly, definitely had a penchant for always choosing the word that contained the most syllables, and he also improvised fugues & made up imaginary music critics with full-blown biographies & speech irregularities in his spare time. Blessed with perfect pitch & the ability to keep several tempos at once, his proper compositions sadly number very few (I count 5, most folks would say 2 is generous)"
:I don't know but that is not the point dog
::who would want a show to start at 7?
:::Yes but when it says 7 I think most people know not to show up until 7:30 expecting it to start late. When it says starting at seven and the opening band doesn't start setting up until 10, that is a different story.
::::But also consider that some folks would like to start a show at 7 and no one shows up before 8.
::::No point in starting a show if no one is there.
::::
:::::Yeah also please don't post fake fucking show start times. Why list a show as starting at 7 when you know it wont start until 8-8:30?
