Miles Davis - "Sivad" From the album Live-Evil (‎November 17, 1971)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

Funny thing is, not all of this is live

[pterrorgrine]

hey so for completeness's sake i should probably say that i posted this to reddit and very quickly got the response i hoped for, from a very cool someone named /u/reaper7876. the story is called "sivad's question" and it's as much of a banger as i remember. anyway this was all months ago and my two followers probably don't care but

in search of a purgatorial bangsian fantasy webfic about interpretation of a certain garfield comic, titled "mondays"

so i've been trying to hunt down an original short story i read on a website a bit ago, but when i post it to reddit's /r/tipofmytongue it gets deleted for being nsfw. i swear i'm not a garfield fucker. oh god. maybe i should just copy my first attempt at a tomt post:

so for context there's this infamous garfield strip wherein jon arbuckle, maybe, drinks a cup of dog jizz. i swear this is relevant.

i read this piece of web original fiction titled "mondays", which was a bangsian fantasy (i.e. set in the afterlife) about the interpretation arguments surrounding this comic. the premise is that people who die go to one of seven afterlives based on which day of the week they died. those who died on a monday go to an extremely large (but finite) field with a grid of towers at regular intervals. there is some kind of oracle or something to provide exposition on what they need to do to escape. everyone in this afterlife must vote on the question of whether or not jon actually drinks dog cum in the comic. there is a correct answer. if everyone unanimously votes correctly, they go on to the next stage of the afterlife, an actual paradise. however, if they vote unanimously but incorrectly, their memories are wiped and they have to start all over again, not remembering what discussions they'd had on the matter or how they voted last time. obviously there is much existential despair, and the story is more about how people react to the situation than the actual question. it's sort of a sociological survey of the different groups of reactions -- the die-hard supporters of each side, the people who despair that they'll never escape, the people who want to ignore the whole thing and just hang out, etc. i think it ends with the narrator coming to the conclusion that the "game" is "fair" but they will never escape anyway because they'll never agree or if they do they'll be wrong.

unfortunately, despite all the details i remember, i'm having trouble finding a google search that actually gets results; everything is swamped in more popular irrelevancies, like mainstream articles about the debate around the comic, or web fiction groups that post on monday, or whatever. i do remember that it wasn't on reddit, and i don't think was on a major site, but instead the author's blog or something. (however, it's possible it was on AO3, but searching there doesn't help either. possibly a tumblr with a custom theme?) i do think i was linked there from reddit, probably /r/curatedtumblr (where i'm at a lot), but it could have been tumblr itself, or anywhere. (metafilter?!?) obviously it was published in the last few years, as the comic arose in prominence as an interpretive debate along the lines of "when ralph wiggum says he's a viking, does that mean…", but that doesn't help turn it up because all the other content about the comic is also from that timeframe.

anyway that's the TOMT post , it got deleted for discussing dog jizz but when i edited it it still got deleted for linking to discussion of dog jizz. so now i've given up on TOMT and am posting it here so i can post it to /r/curatedtumblr on self-post sunday, and accessorarily associate myself with the concept of dog jizz. dammit. i swear i have non-dog-jizz-related reasons for being obsessed with finding this story again but that little detail keeps tripping everything up.

Miles Davis - Sivad (1971)

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

I spent the first 11 years of my life in Memphis, Tennessee. I’m in my early 60s now but four things will always stick out in my memories of that phase of my life: Overton Park, the Memphis Zoo, Memphis wrestling on Saturday mornings hosted by Lance Russell and Dave Brown, and Saturday night’s horror movie tucked neatly into a show called Fantastic Features (hosted by a guy dressed as a vampire named “Sivad” which was his last name spelled backward). As a kid, I became obsessed with monsters and aliens because...

ma che significa alla fine Bitches Brew?

Non lo sa propriamente nessuno. Non l'ha capito nemmeno George Grella Jr che ha scritto un bellissimo saggio su questo capolavoro immenso, Bitches Brew. Il capolavoro di Miles Davis che ha rivoluzionato il jazz edito da Minimux Fax in Italia.

Davis è sempre stato un genio anche nel titolare i dischi, la maggior parte dei quali ha insito un gioco di parole: Kind Of Blue, Miles In The Sky, Milestone, Miles Smile, in Live\Evil due brani si chiamano Selim e Sivad, che sono il suo nome e cognome scritti al contrario.

Ci sono tuttavia delle teorie. La traduzione letterale di "brodo di cagne" ha un suo aggancio con il Witches' Brew, il calderone delle streghe, e visto cosa ribolliva musicalmente in quel calderone è molto simbolica come scelta. Tuttavia come spesso accade con termini gergali inglesi, questi hanno diversi significati: bitch, che è vero ha il valore offensivo di "troia", nello slang soprattutto artistico, insieme alla sua variante "bitching", significano "roba buona", quindi Bitches Brew significherebbe più o meno "questa è roba buona".

C'è però anche un'altra ipotesi, altrettanto affascinante: Bitches Brew potrebbe voler dire anche "guai in vista", dagli ulteriori significati di Bitch come "guaio, situazione complicata" e Brew come preparare.

Questo ha aggiunto ulteriore mistero e fascino ad un disco talmente rivoluzionario che perfino nel titolo espone ciò che la Penguin Guide To Jazz (che lo certifica 4 stelle e la Corona, il massimo possibile di valutazione) scrive riguardo la musica che contiene: una delle dichiarazioni creative più notevoli dell'ultimo mezzo secolo, in qualsiasi forma artistica. È anche profondamente imperfetto, un gigantesco torso di musica esplosivamente rumorosa che rifiuta assolutamente di risolversi sotto qualsiasi forma riconosciuta.
