stereomood – emotional internet radio - music for my mood and activities Harry Frankfurt's "On Bullshit" One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Another worthwhile source is the title essay in The Prevalence of Humbug by Max Black. Humbug: deceptive misrepresentation, short of lying, especially by pretentious word or deed, of somebody’s own thoughts, feelings, or attitudes. A very similar formulation might plausibly be offered as enunciating the essential characteristics of bullshit. Deceptive misrepresentation: This may sound pleonastic. Short of lying: It must be part of the point of saying that humbug is “short of lying,” that while it has some of the distinguishing characteristics of lies, there are others that it lacks. Especially by pretentious word or deed: There are two points to notice here. Now it is unlikely that Black wishes that the referent of humbug is in every instance the state of the speaker’s mind.

How to Hold a Violin Including a discussion of chin rests and shoulder rests By Michael Schallock, Illustrations by Jessica Schallock. © Copyright April 2007. All rights reserved. The concepts illustrated in this short paper have been expressed by fine teachers for many years. Every individual must make many physical accommodations in order to play the violin. Summary: The violin should rest on the collarbone and be supported by the left hand and by the shoulder. The violin can be held easily and comfortably for long periods of time if it is held correctly and if the chin rest and shoulder rest or pad are carefully fitted. The violin should rest on the collarbone. The violin resting lightly on the collarbone and the jaw resting gently on the chin rest establish two stable points of contact with the instrument. The violin is also supported, but not held tightly, by the left hand. The jaw, collarbone, base of the left index finger and the side of the left thumb establish four contact points with the violin.

The top 25 must-see movies of 2012 Update: You can now find out list of the top 25 must-see movies of 2013 here.And our 25 must-see movies of 2014 are here. As 2011 draws to a close, one eye is inevitably on the treats that are lying ahead for 2012. With that in mind, we've got our line-up of, as things stands, the 25 films that are brightest on our radar. Now, a couple of disclaimers. There are films that haven't made the cut here simply because we don't know a fat lot about them yet, or at least not enough to get us fired up. Plus there are the films that we suspect will turn out strongly, but what we've seen of them so far hasn't blown us away (Brave, Skyfall). We've also had to exclude films that have already had a release in either the UK or the US. However, that's still left us with a lot of tasty cinema. Neither Spy Kids 4 nor Scream 4 performed as expected in 2011, and that’s inevitably going to leave Hollywood types feeling just a bit wary about belated sequels. It’s got promise, this one. So far, so so.

Musicovery The Day You Were Sad : Twelve Stories Jennifer Levin You find out someone loved you once. You find out that a long time ago someone loved you so much he might have died for you. You run into an old college friend on an airplane. You remember he was awfully cute and that you were good friends for awhile—when was it? You feel foolish because you miss him. You remember the day you were sad and he invited you on a drive up the mountain, and you invited your friends to come along. He was always dating some girl or another, so how were you supposed to know? You remember the night he told you that you were beautiful—you were beautiful and you were good—but find you have no idea what else he said that night. You are good, he said. And you said, What? And he looked crushed and refused to say anything else. You attempt to look him up on the Internet, but he has a common name and you’re not sure where he lives. A partial moral inventory leads you to believe you wouldn’t do anything. You wonder again, out loud, why he never asked you out.

How to tune a violin The violin has four strings which are tuned in fifths. The scientific pitch of the strings from lowest to highest is: G3, D4, A4, and E5. The violin is tuned in perfect fifths - each string is tuned an interval of a perfect fifth from the string (or strings) next to it. The strings of the violin are tightened or loosened to produce the right note by the pegs and the fine tuners. Some violins only have fine tuners on the E string, whereas others have fine tuners on all 4 strings. Tuning the Violin When tuning any instrument, you should always tune from below the note, up. When you are tuning your violin, play the note continuously with your bow and listen carefully to the string as it tightens towards the desired pitch. It is advisable to start by tuning the A string first, followed by the D, G then E strings. If you want to know more about the physics of tuning any instrument, head over to The Science of Tuning Musical Instruments. Tuning using a Piano Relative Tuning Common tuning Problems
