Happy 77th Birthday, Julie Andrews

↳ (October 1 1935 - )

She’s one of the finest people in the business, I think, that I’ve been able to work with and get to know. But contrary to popular opinion, she’s got a ribald sense of humor. She’s very funny herself. She enjoys a raucous laugh. She’s a tremendously committed, hardworking professional, and she’s got such grace and dignity about her — just her personhood. But I don’t find her in any way treacly or saccharine. She’s definitely a woman of manners, but not in any way that’s offensively on the saccharine side. She just embodies a kind of grace and elegance and civility, and that’s not how you would describe most people in show business.

Dammit - I am finding a bar and I plan to slow dance to Patsy Cline

acoustic-electric:

Dark Dark Dark - “Patsy Cline”

RIYL: Regina Spektor, Feist, Fiona Apple

Dark Dark Dark’s new album, Who Needs Who, doesn’t officially come out until October, but because the band is just so nice, they sent preorders out early.  I knew as soon as I heard “How it Went Down” that this would be one of the best albums of the Fall, which is proving to be more and more true each time I listen to it.  Specifically, “Patsy Cline” is making its way up my list of favorite songs of the year.  Everything about the track - the vocals, lyrics, and the delivery - is simply beautiful in the most classical sense.  Dark Dark Dark have written the essential piano ballad of the season.

And I thought we’d meet up in a week or two, and we’d slow dance to Patsy Cline at the bar

Photographs by Lee Jeffries. 

“Black and white photography is powerful and emotional. UK-based photographer Lee Jeffries proves this point with his spectacular shots. While he began his photography career taking pictures of sporting events, he soon found out that it wasn’t his calling. “A chance encounter with a young homeless girl in the streets of London,” his website shares, “changed his artistic approach forever.” From that moment on, the homeless became the subject of Jeffries’ art. The models he enlists are not famous celebrities or sports icons, they’re those he meets on the streets.”

Business Meeting Poetry

Fiddle Factor

Violent shifts in the waves
Dirty unclean
Clawing-back
Understanding the challenge
The volatility
It’s dangerous

There will be a quiz

(while in a meeting I wrote down some of what was said. Rather amusing.)
