Why would he make the change in application?

Yeah, all three have been excellent and have prompted panicked tweaks/reshuffles/wholesale reworkings of my own effort to bring it up to standard. :)

Hamlet and Midsummer Night's Dream are the only two I know really well on stage, both of which are great, obviously. The missus is taking me to Titus Andronicus in the near future which she's very excited about - any fans here?

For complicated reasons I ended up not making this. Gutted (and I can't be at the Wednesday one either).

Amazing shots. I'm a bit puzzled though by the caption "A hair salon: the only one, for 3,000 people." Like the worst thing about living underground during a nuclear war is the state of everyone's hair.

It's a remarkable phenomenon - is there anyone else, in any field, who is so universally admired? I think there is a certain amount of that feeling surrounding Bach. Certainly there is enough in his music for more than a lifetime of admiration, but I think the lack of range criticism you...

Alright, you got me there :D

OK, I admit some of this is provocation coming to me second-hand, but in my limited experience you can't really read Marlowe, it's just not very good on the page. But on stage, the theatre of it blows pretty much anyone (except poss Webster ;) ) away - at least, that's the wisdom I've received...

Sure, he writes pretty, but Marlowe was the better dramatist. ;)

Local comp. Happened to be very good, with an outstanding music department. Parents didn't apply to the local boys grammer school (which regularly comes top ten in the league tables these days) because they had a reputation for rejecting prospective pupils with chronic illnesses. Well, you don't...

Guardian describe the list as 'eclectic '. Yeah, it's got everything from Muse to The Editors.

Sounds like a good start to me - got a really nice dark feel to it. But yeah, I think you need to do a bit more to the break, and possibly add in an extra layer of stuff in between/around the break and the synth things to give it some depth. Basically what Gek-opel said ;) Look forward to...

Nice work on the mix, Nick.

It's called 'fair dealing' in the UK - unless you mean something else? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_United_Kingdom#Fair_dealing_and_other_exceptions But it is more restrictive than the US version, certainly. And in my limited experience, copyright owners are very happy to...

Harold Budd/Ruben Garcia/Daniel Lentz - Music for Three Pianos Hans Otte - Das Buch der Klange

Couldn't live without: Bach: 48 Preludes and Fugues esp, but it's all good really Beethoven: late string quartets (esp. A minor) Beethoven: piano sonatas (again, go with the later ones) Chopin: all the solo piano music Bartok: all of it, especially the string quartets, 3 piano concertos, and...

yeah, I know it's pretty dumb, not meant to be taken terribly seriously. But I don't actually think it's much worse than statements like 'if they play like they did last night', etc - if France play like they did against Switzerland, they'll get hammered, it just depends on an arbitrary point of...

Some food for thought Just idly doing some sums over my morning tea. Take this as seriously or not as you like, but I think it's interesting. Taking the goals scored vs goals conceded as the most important (only important ;) ) aspect of a team performance, over four matches played you get the...

Although to really split hairs, both the Dutch and the Hungarians are remembered because they won enough to reach the finals ... ;) The trick is that balance between aesthetics and effect; at the moment I'm not happy with one, but while we're still (just) getting the other, I can live with it.
