Today's reading list
I am going to start blogging and sometimes mirroring the interesting articles I read each day. With the entries here on my site, I can more easily search for quotes ("where did I read that?") and can be sure that links don't die. This may become more trouble than it's worth, but it's still worth a try.
- Infinite monkey theorem
- Schenkerian analysis
- A Schenkerian Primer
- Camille for Kerry
- Just say Yes

Origin of the monkeys-typing-Shakespeare concept. It's actually from a book written in 1909 by Emile Borel and uses all books in the French National Library as the target.

[ via Solomon's Music Theory & Composition Resources ]
Referenced in those music theory jokes I posted earlier. I remembered Schenker from my music theory classes but forgot the basic concept.

Camille Paglia weighs in on the election. Love her or hate her (I really hate many of her opinions and her die-hard faith in AM talk radio), she always has some thoughtful positions colorfully presented. I, like everyone, got hooked on her when her book Sexual Persona [Amazon] came out, but everything after that seemed like flat, retreads of its concepts.

A discussion of the performance-art pranksters who got invited to a WTO conference and presented a management leisure suit
with an inflatable golden penis. I had read about this a year or so ago. They have a book and movie coming out.
