beautiful speech

god bless her

One of my favourite things to do is change happy pop love songs to minor keys

Because they sound considerably creepier in this context, especially if you throw in some prolonged eye contact

This remarkable photograph was taken the exact moment of detonation of the Japanese city Nagasaki. Somehow the photographer was just the right distance away that the blast didn’t harm him nor his film. What is most remarkable is that the three people in the foreground are still unaware that anything has happened at all.

The destruction of Nagasaki followed three days after that of Hiroshima on 9 August 1945, and was the act that finally compelled Japan to surrender, ending World War II.

From the 33 1/3 book on In The Aeroplane Over the Sea by Kim Cooper.

“Surprisingly, “Oh Comely,” at 8:18 the longest song on the album, was recorded in a single take by Jeff by himself. The other musicians clustered around Robert in the control booth and in the tiny adjacent room for what they thought was just a test take as Jeff tried out the mic placement. Robert remembers feeling claustrophobic, with maybe twenty people standing around him. The rooms were laid out so Robert could hear Jeff’s playing through speakers, but also ambiently through the air. Although he was only supposed to play a verse or two, Jeff powered through the song, stunning his friends with a beautiful, passionate performance no less amazing for the uncontrolled moments when he veers out of tune. At the finish, everyone burst into spontaneous cheers and applause—you can hear someone, possible Scott Spillane, yell “Holy shit!” at the end of the track if you listen closely. The final version is almost exactly what Jeff played that day, with the addition of horn overdubs and a couple of places where Robert went in and doubled the vocal.”
