Alan Rickman reads Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks; 
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare. 

can i make this my ringtone or something

Philip Glass turns 75 tomorrow. Impossible, you say? Given his two dozen operas,  reams of orchestral music, virtually uncountable film scores and scads  of projects in every discipline, isn’t he like 90 or 100 or 110? Or,  judging by his kaleidoscopic connections and collaborators, isn’t he  somewhere between 20 and 50, hunkered down among hipsters and plotting  his next move toward musical world domination?

This photo sums up the level of awesomeness of this weekend. While sipping espresso drinks at the Orange Couch, the Krewe of Underwear (a sub-krewe of Krewe du Vieux) stumbled out of the Marigny to perform after their first practice of this Carnival season. Blasting ’80s music from a stereo strapped down to a little green wagon, they hacked their way through a newly learned dance routine - completely owning their red onesies. The combination of the absurdity of the scenario with the acceptance and enthusiasm of the crowd that gathered will forever be one of my favorite things about New Orleans.
