Speech marks here are simply because the word "hurt" is a quotation from the statement.

Can't get this online in the UK either - typical BBC haven't paid for the rights to broadcast matches on the net (this sometimes happens with cricket and other sports through the Beeb).

That's true (and Aventures isn't even credited at the end of the film). But it's not actually clear - depends who you read - whether Ligeti attempted to sue over the unauthorised alterations to Aventures, or the unauthorised use of his music overall. I suspect it's probably the latter (seems...

I know it was said many times on commentary last night, but wow, if Ghana had a striker... Thought they were very impressive. As were the Czechs, who I've always had a soft spot for. Glad that Koller looks like he's going to be OK this morning.

Yeah, some of his music is in the Shining (with permission this time), also Eyes Wide Shut. The music Kubrick used in 2001 is the Kyrie from the Requiem, Atmospheres, and Lux aeterna - the first of these is probably the most memorable, and is available on the Ligeti Project IV (Teldec), along...

A lot of the obits have been a bit lazy, particularly in suggesting that Ligeti 'composed the score' for 2001, when the truth is that Kubrick nicked recordings of his music without requesting permission or paying royalties... Anyway, very sad news. He had been ill for several years now, and it...

Note that throughout England games (including v Paraguay) it's McClaren writing things down in a notebook and showing them to Sven. Let's hope he wasn't writing 'Here, Sven, having dominated the first half, let's replace our best striker with a midfielder, and throw on a complete newbie on the...

What. The. Fuck. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

One of these should do the trick. "Your own quality England pint glass so that everyone in the pub knows that Patriotism oozes out of you" I also like this slightly mixed message. "Show your patriotism, wear this St George Viking Hat".

The things some people will do to secure a month off for the World Cup... Hope it gets better soon.

Looks like another choice selection!

One thing: Are you running through a proxy server? I always have trouble running any Real stuff through my work computer (which isn't a Mac though) because of the proxy settings being all screwy.

I've been staring at my wallchart on and off all day. I quite fancy South Korea to do well again, with the possibility of a tasty rematch with Italy in the quarters. Other tasty games - Poland-Germany obviously, and Angola-Portugal. Disappointed the US managed to avoid both Arab teams. And...

... looks like that's set to change: http://arts.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,1791124,00.html

The thing that was unusual, I think, about the RW was that it was a major, institutionally-funded studio (as most of them had to be at that stage, equipment being so rare and expensive) that was put to the service of popular culture (ie, TV). Does anyone know if this was unique, or did similar...

Wow, that Cohen House is gorgeous.

According to the Guardian's report, KP got a bit of a telling off from Fletcher after going out very shortly after that reverse sweep; something along the lines of 'you showboating and getting out precipitated a five-wicket collapse from the tail'. Seems a bit harsh to me; the guy had scored...

Don't joke - in Germany, Steve Reich had (has?) problems getting some of his more stripped down pieces performed because for some people they had associations with marching jackboots...

!!!!!!!!!! That's a great blog; thanks for the heads up!

You know Ralph Vaughan Williams, right?
