Read any good books since your last update about your recent reading?

Yes, although I forget when I last shared the books I've been reading, so hopefully I don't repeat anything.

I know that I've repeated this book because I've mentioned it several times over the past couple of weeks, but I can't help but remind everyone again about Steve Coll's excellent new book, The Achilles Trap: Saddam Hussein, the C.I.A., and the Origins of America's Invasion of Iraq (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO). It's definitely the best book I've read so far this year, and it's one of the better books I've read in the past 10 years.

Other recent books that I've read and would recommend checking out:

•Radiant: The Life and Line of Keith Haring (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by Brad Gooch

•The Far Land: 200 Years of Murder, Mania, and Mutiny in the South Pacific (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by Brandon Presser

•UFO: The Inside Story of the U.S. Government's Search for Alien Life Here -- and Out There (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by Garrett M. Graff Garrett Graff has quickly become one of those authors who I go out of my way to immediately pick up his latest books because he's so well-connected and I ALWAYS learn fascinating things from his books. I don't know if there's a writer/journalist today who has better access to the American defense establishment or proven to be more capable of shining a light on many of the most secretive aspects of the United States government.

Don't Go Far | The Young Boys from Dublin Who Ran Away to New York

It was August 1985 and two boys from Darndale, Dublin, aged 10 and 13, hop on a DART train for a ride that will take them a few thousand miles beyond their stop. Keith and Noel were friends. They had a knack for bunking off. One day they hopped on a Dart and skipped out to Dún Laoghaire for a laugh. Nothing there but boats and day trippers. So they snuck on a ferry and went to Holyhead. They’d…

The Pop Art Tradition: Where Art, Advertising, and Society Collide

Discover our full collection The text below is the excerpt of the book The Pop Art Tradition (ISBN: 9781783107490), written by Eric Shanes, published by Parkstone International. It might be thought that this constitutes a good, working definition of ‘Pop Art’ but a number of factors demonstrate the need for caution. Firstly, the list was written in a private letter that was not made public…

"Pictures from the exhibition". How Emerson, Lake and Palmer decided to turn Mussorgsky into a rocker — and what came of it

Nowadays, the combination of rock and classical music is no surprise to anyone. And anyway: what can surprise us at all? But in the post-Woodstock era, the impossible seemed possible, and the most daring experiments found an appreciative audience.

On March 26, 1971, the band Emerson, Lake & Palmer took to the stage of the city hall of the glorious city of Newcastle to play the music of the Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky in a way that no one had ever played it before.

Mussorgsky wrote "Pictures from the Exhibition" in the form of a series of piano pieces dedicated to the exhibition of works by his late friend, the artist and architect Viktor Hartman. After the composer's death, the work was repeatedly arranged for the orchestra. The idea to adapt the suite came to Keith Emerson after he and his wife attended a performance of "Pictures" at the Festival Hall in London in April

The very next day, Emerson purchased the sheet music and invited bass guitarist Greg Lake and drummer Carl Palmer to rethink the score in the form of a rock piece. Emerson, Lake & Palmer used several pieces from Mussorgsky's suite, adding their own pieces. Emerson and Palmer took over the arrangements, Lake added lyrics to the three movements.

In December 1970, ELP performed "Pictures" in London with the intention of releasing the record as an album. The concert was even filmed. However, something went wrong, and the musicians were not satisfied with the result.

The second attempt took place in March of the same year. The performance in Newcastle was recorded on a mobile studio. In this region, ELP had strong public support. More importantly, there was a real organ in the hall. Emerson promised not to bang on the keyboard with a hunting dagger, as he had done earlier during the concerts of the band The Nice.

Keith Emerson played five different keyboards on stage that day. With the growing popularity of progressive rock in the early 1970s, electronic keys became ubiquitous and for some time even competed with the electric guitar in terms of visual appeal. The audience was literally mesmerized by the witchcraft with sounds and timbres.

The album begins with a leisurely "Walk", but gradually increases the tempo, like a kettle heated to a boil. The fury with which Keith Emerson hammers on instruments during the recording of "Pictures" is amazing. It becomes clear why he was called Jimi Hendrix Organa.

Having launched Mussorgsky into the stratosphere, ELP complemented the album with Lake's gentle song "The Sage", "Blues Variation" and the turbulent whirlpool of "The Curse of Baba Yaga" with a whirlwind of Emerson keyboard textures, which in places pulls on natural hard'n'heavy.

The completion of the album — the majestic "Bogatyr Gate" — to some extent anticipates the "Bohemian Rhapsody" of the Queen group.

"Pictures from the Exhibition" was released in the UK in November 1971. Atlantic Records postponed the release of the record in the United States, fearing failure. But after "Pictures" topped the import chart a month later, the album was hastily released overseas in early January 1972. By April, the record had sold over 500,000 copies.

The mix of classical and rock was a novelty that intrigued young listeners. Interest in the "Pictures" was spurred by the growing sales of pianos and piano lessons for teenagers.

The original may not need rock processing, but the idea of performing a classic suite by a Russian composer from the 1800s in front of a screaming rock crowd is incredibly audacious. And, of course, I need to thank ELP for the fact that under their influence thousands (if not hundreds of thousands!) of listeners decided to listen to the real Mussorgsky and expanded their musical horizons.

In 1999, "Pictures from the Exhibition" were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. But not in the version of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, but on the album by pianist Vladimir Horowitz. Which is quite fair.

hi hello i shamefully still have not read flight of the heron But i do love uh roman naming conventions. if you're looking for a praenomen for a Keith have you considered Kaeso? it would be a little bit old fashioned by the period of your setting but also it contains the elusive letter k in latin :-)

salve! (sorry, couldn't help myself.) thank you for this message! I'm pleased to see that I haven't driven off my followers with my incessant flight of the heron all day all night.

ah, yes, Kaeso! it's funny you should mention it, as I was considering today polling my 3 followers who are patient enough to indulge my whims with whether or not I should consider that name. it's been one of my top contenders lately, mostly so that I wouldn't be faced with writing a story in which the main character was given the Roman equivalent of... idk, John. I initially dismissed Caeso over fear that people would mispronounce it as queso, but I think the K-spelling works better, if I can convincingly get away with it (I may put in a pronunciation thing to remind people that it's more like kai-so than kay-so.) the fact that it's old fashioned is something that can be worked into the story. in canon Keith's name is fairly unusual and comes from the surname of his father's best friend, and the Windham family in real life seems to have had a bad habit of surnames as first names (*points at the multiple individuals by the name of Wadham Wyndham*) — so suffice to say I can claim his family is a stuffy old gens who haven't added any new praenomen to the list since the Republic.

thank you for your message! I really appreciate your suggestion, and I suspect that it will stick :-)

#asks #now please look away from this au before you are horrified by my terrible Latin and worse understanding of languages #although I anticipate it's going to be a lot easier once I have institutional access again #but yes Kaeso is an excellent name and I like how it is abbreviated to K. #god I can't believe how easy it was to translate Hornblower's name into Latin. bastard man. #the Romans have a word that literally translates as 'Hornblower' that was used as a cognomen!!! #meanwhile Keith Windham has a name composed of both Celtic AND Anglo-Saxon #(Windham is derived from Wymondham — a town in Norfolk pronounced Windham because England) #(Wymondham being the typical Anglo-Saxon place name combo of [name] + [descriptor of community]) #(which is therefore Wigmond Ham. Wigmond means 'battle protector' which fortunately can be cross translated into proto-Celtic and filtered #into Romano-British Latin as the name Caudualla (sp) from Cadwalladr. it's not an exact translation but it has 'battle' and 'prince'.) #tag spam #(sorry)

Something something foth role reversal au where Keith lives up to his Jacobite name + historical basis and Ewen becomes part of the Hanoverian black watch

#maybe ewen sees all the deaths and grief from the previous failed rebellions and decides #he wont lose ardroy and his tenants to any more failed ploys #or maybe lochiel refuses his support to charles after all #or something like this #i think it'd be an interesting universe to see #keith rides up from england through the highlands to greet the landed prince #but gets into an accident or something and meets ewen whos like #'oh an englishman. dont worry we're all for george here :)' #and keith has to try and play along but also get to glenfinnan without revealing his loyalty #anyway back to brain sludge. its pizza time.
