UC 50.34 - Magdalene, Cam vs Strathclyde

Finally, we have reached the last match of the quarter-final stage. Which is not to say it isn’t excellent, and that I don’t love it, but it has to be said that it goes on for a long time. All good things must come to an end though, and with Magdalene vs Strathclyde tonight we will complete the marathon 10-week double elimination double qualification bracket that has seen some brilliant contests, including all four of Mags’ and Strathie’s previous appearances in this round.

Magdalene blasted away Birkbeck by a score of 240-140, and then were pipped to the post by Warwick in another high scoring bout. Strathclyde meanwhile have won and lost a pair of low-scoring, but enthralling matches. One might have Magdalene down as clear favourites because of this (and their average score is 45 points better than Strathie), but I wrote the Scots off last time and they pulled off an impressive win, so I’m not going to set my stall out quite so bullishly this time around. 

Starr-Marshall fails to repeat what had become one of my favourite twists to the contestant intro of all time (admittedly, not a difficult bar to beat when I generally consider the geographical flourishes - eg ‘I’m from Sunny Sydney, Australia’ - some of them give as a tad annoying), by not referring to himself as the Sassenach, perhaps considering it too playful for such a serious occasion. 

DEROGATORY•SCOTTISH

noun

an English person

Anyway, let’s not bother with the rules, here’s your first starter for ten...

Magdalene captain Lawson has been on excellent form since the restart, and continues this with the first starter of the night, a long-winded one to which JMW Turner is the answer. A hat-trick of bonuses on years with consecutive digits followed, as did another starter for Lawson, and a two more bonuses on weird fiction (though they miss out on China Mievelle, whose book The City and The City currently sits on my TBR pile). 

Payne negs the next starter, but Whittle, wearing yet another fantastic jumper, narrowly misses out, giving Henry IV Pt II rather than Pt I. Byrne then took the next two to give Magdalane a commanding lead. Strathclyde would need to get in amongst the points soon if they were to have a chance - they’ve not scored more than 135 points since the first round, and Magdalene already have 90. This soon becomes 100, but the Cambridge quartet struggle with a set on space mountains.

The next starter is missed by Byrne, and Welsh is finally able to get Strathclyde some points. He is nominated by his captain on all of the mathsy bonuses, and manages two of them, before snaffling another starter. Perhaps they’re not out of this after all...

Paxman pronounces ‘isenthalpically’ in such a bizarre manner that it appears to confuse both teams - beyond the level of confusion that the question itself would induce - and neither of them get it. Payne chimes in with a second neg, which Whittle misses, but he makes up for it with the next starter. Their bonuswork isn’t really up to scratch though, and they fail to close the gap any further.

The music starter is Mahler, and Welsh is the first to recognise this, but still they struggle on the five pointers, and Davies stops their steady streak with the fastest buzz next time out. Another dodgy delivery from Paxman has the contestants narrowing their eyes, but Welsh figures out what he means and grabs his fourth starter of the evening. After the next set, which they blank, they’ve only answered 5 of the 15 bonuses, but two clutch buzzes from Welsh drag them back into contention and they find themselves only five points adrift!

The buzzer race on the second picture round is won by Whittle, but he is wrong with Caravaggio, and Lawson is right with Velasquez. We’re back out at twenty-five points difference. This becomes twenty with a Lawson neg, and then ten as Whittle exacts his revenge from the last question. Holy questions this is a great game - we’re back at fives!

An incredibly impressive buzz from Byrne on a complicated maths question seizes back the initiative for Magdalene, who rattle off a full set of bonuses (far easier, it seems, than some of the ones that Strathclyde have been getting). Another buzz from Byrne probably seals the game for Cambridge, and the gong tolls soon after. Phew, what a game.

Final Score: Magdalene, Cam 185 - 125 Strathclyde.

A fascinating game that, which can be broken down into three very odd thirds in terms of scoring.

Magdalene 100 - 0 Strathclyde

Magdalene 15 - 110 Strathclyde

Magdalene 70 - 15 Strathclyde

I thought Strathclyde might just pull off another shock there, but some excellent play from Mags at the death sealed it for them.

I’ll see you next week for the first semi-final, featuring two of Imperial, Balliol, Magdalene and Warwick.

Looking back on 2019 I decided to list a handful of political / alternative news websites rather than films, albums or books. In the UK the corporate media stooped to shocking new lows during our recent General Election campaign. Such dirty tactics are to be expected of conglomerates owned by the likes of Rupert Murdoch and his fellow right wing billionaires but this time around, previously ‘liberal’ outlets such as the BBC and Guardian also fully participated in the outrageous lies, smears and character assassination against the leader of the opposition Labour Party. The British population were now being forced fed the Establishment’s propaganda du jour from every possible direction. Personally I try to gather my information from as many alternative outlets as possible to contrast with the 24 hour corporate brainwashing we’re subjected to these days. I’ve listed just five sites from the dozens I regularly visit and although I certainly don’t agree with everything expressed on these sites I do feel that it essential that in supposed free and democratic societies we are at least exposed to a variety of viewpoints and opinions - rather than being trapped inside social media echo chambers in an Internet that is increasingly controlled and censored by sophisticated algorithms and where politically correct digital lynch mobs accuse anyone with an opinion that contradicts the official narrative of being a Russian agent! Anyway, a Happy New Year to you all and here’s hoping 2020 sets the new decade off in roaring style!

Weasel Walter

Composer/performer / label head https://weaselwalter.bandcamp.com/

2019 was far from my favorite year. Regardless, I managed to release not one, but two new double albums by The Flying Luttenbachers (as well as two European tours with the unit) in addition to the usual slew of improvised music gigs and releases, and co-ordinating and producing an archival release of vintage NYC weirdness (Ozone). I also rocked Mexico City with Lydia Lunch Retrovirus, played a ridiculous gig with Encenathrakh, and disbanded Cellular Chaos (for now, at least).

When I become obsessed (or re-obsessed with something), it usually leads to a ton of proselytizing Facebook status posts. Combing my 2019 posts, it seems that my musical obsessions this year weren't very highbrow. Ha ha ha. Yes, I'm super into Xenakis, Cecil Taylor and whatever else, but dumber music can supply great creature comfort, and I guess I needed that in large amounts, so that's what it was. Sometimes badass modernists have to take time out to stay in bed all day and read comics because it's a hard cold world out there.

Weasel Walter top 10 musical obsessions of 2019 1. Kid Creole and the Coconuts (1980-1985 era) 2. Redd Kross 3. The Saints "I'm Stranded" 4. Jane Aire and the Belvederes 5. Miles Davis 1972-1975 6. Khanate "Things Viral 7. Mandy Zone & Ozone "Live at Max's Kansas City 1981" 8. Mayhem "Grand Declaration of War" 9. Comedy Bang Bang Episode #554 w/ Middleditch, Sanz 10. Weezer "Pinkerton"

[wellntruly]

Can I ask for book recs? You've said before your reading is seasonal (which I find fascinating as it had never occurred to me it could be) and I'm quite curious to see what are summer reads for you. For most people summer reads are light and a no brainer, yet you said Brideshead revisited is meant to be read on summer. So, please, enlighten me because I wanna jump in the wagon of seasonal reading.

I’d be delighted!!!! Yes please let’s spread my eccentricities around the populace!

So for starters, not every book has a season, and some books belong to seasons for different reasons than others. Brideshead Revisited, for instance, would be a summer book for the same reason that one of the songs from Adrian Johnson’s score for the 2008 film is called ‘Always Summer’ — it’s to do with mood and theme and thoughts and the best season for feeling certain feelings.

A much clearer selection process is simply where the thing takes place. It’s environment matching — if it’s warm outside, I want to be reading things where the characters are also someplace warm. But interestingly, often the settings seem to sorta self-select for books that also match onto my ~seasonal mood~ pretty well! Fall books end up having a sort of classic quality, a combination of a good old fashioned haunting and that back-to-school feeling of a crisp October day. Spring, it turns out, is lyrical and shifting, books with a blossoming, intricate manner of storytelling. Winter we haven’t done yet — ask me again in winter! — and summer… summer might be flying and mirage.

Summer Reads

Category 1: The Only Way We Can Talk About The War Is With Magical Realism (one of my favorite genres of all time)

The English Patient - Ondaatje, MichaelIf you are only familiar with this as the movie with Ralph Fiennes, let me change your world: there was a novel first, and holy heck is it a whole other and wondrous thing. This is one of my very, very favorite books. It is GORGEOUS. It is strange. There’s layered narration, unreliable narration, skips in time and place, but the novel is anchored in its characters, who form something of a contemplative quartet: a Canadian Army nurse, her mysterious and badly burned patient, a Sikh British army sapper, and a thief named Caravaggio, all sheltering together in an abandoned Italian villa during the last months of WWII.

Corelli’s Mandolin - de Bernières, LouisThis was a typically flawless recommendation from Mr. Dorman, my high school English teacher who shows up on this blog from time to time. It takes place on a Greek island during WWII, and is just rich in history and personalities and feeling. It’s transporting — brilliantly written, so funny, and I think I might have cried for about 50 pages near the end. It also has a quartet of fabulous characters: the oddball doctor who is trying to write a history of the island, his bright and educated daughter, the charming musician Captain Corelli, and an Italian soldier named Carlo who is like an Ancient Greek tragedy brought to life.

Catch-22 - Heller, JosephHonestly has anything in literature ever been as good as what Heller did with Snowden. Can anything even touch that. Merely for that piece alone this would probably be the greatest novel ever written. Listen, Catch-22 is a masterpiece. It will harrow you to the bone, it will make you wail in anguished frustration, and it will make you laugh and laugh and laugh, unto the ending of the world. Most simply it is about a squadron of Army pilots trying to survive WWII. More broadly it is about trauma and humanity. Oh and our main character is a Middle-Eastern American, and here are the very first lines of the novel, also one of the true greats of our time: “It was love at first sight. The first time Yossarian saw the chaplain he fell madly in love with him.”

Category 2: Memoirs of Pilots Flying Over Deserts During the Golden Age of Aviation

Wind, Sand and Stars - de Saint-Exupéry, AntoineYes, this is the memoir of the author of A Little Prince, a real life aviator who flew mail across the African Sahara and South American Andes. He tells stories about flying and friendship and muses on life, and it is all just breakingly beautiful. A sample line: “When I opened my eyes I saw nothing but the pool of night sky, for I was lying on my back with out-stretched arms, face to face with that hatchery of stars.”

West With the Night - Markham, BerylI have extolled the virtues of BERYL MARKHAM and her fabulous memoirs before — those facts stand. I will add though, for both her and de Saint-Exupéry, that while they have such sincere fondness and respect for their African friends and colleagues, they do occasionally write about them in a way that feels out-dated and out-of-touch. There is an air of the “noble savage” in some of their stories, which is a hoary old bit of racism that often plagued white writers of their time. So, a heads up for that.

Category 3: The Americans

The Great Gatsby - Fitzgerald, F. ScottIf you have not reread The Great Gatsby since high school, I can sincerely recommend doing so, and in the height of summer if possible. Quoting myself from my Baz Luhrmann 4th of July last year, Gatsby is the great American daydream: fabulously indulgent, ironic, biting, somehow gaudy and gauzy at once, hilarious, inadvertent, morbid, and hiding at its core an embarrassing sentimentality, which it will try to drown in champagne and pools as soon as you’ve seen it. 

The Talented Mr. Ripley - Highsmith, PatriciaThis is probably the wellntruly equivalent of a vacation read, if your vacation is in Italy and the shadows cast by the sun are a touch too dark and something about the way the condensation traces paths down your Campari & soda feels unaccountable sinister, and you’re cool with it.

A Good Man Is Hard To Find (short story collection) - O’Connor, FlannerySouthern Gothic time, little ones! You’ve seen the “[blank] gothic” posts on this website before, and here’s what 99% of them miss: not just what is dark and twisted in the environment, but what is dark and twisted in the hearts of the people. Southern Gothic is social commentary, and Southern Gothic is fucked up, and the undisputed queen of the genre is Flannery O’Connor. These are stories that will stay with you long after you’ve retreated from their dusty, sweltering heat.

Slouching Towards Bethlehem - Didion, JoanWe’re breaking into journalism here with a collection of essays by the inimitable — although god knows we all try — Joan Didion. If you are at all interested in California, or the 1960s, or the craft of writing, you can do no better than Joan Didion. Joan Didion! I just want to repeat her name like an hosanna. Here you can read her on the Santa Ana right now.

Different Trains | Beatriz Caravaggio | Espai Fundació Joan Miró | Grec 2019 | BCN

Different Trains Vídeo multicanal de Beatriz Caravaggio 13/06/2019 — 06/10/2019

Del 13 de juny al 6 d'octubre. 

De dimarts a dissabte de 10 a 20 h. 

Diumenges de 10 a 18 h. Dilluns tancat. 

A l'Espai Fundació Joan Miró. En el marc del Grec Festival de Barcelona 2019 Amb la col·laboració de la Fundación BBVA El nord-americà Steve Reich, un dels pioners del minimalisme, va compondre el 1988 Different Trains, una peça sobre l’holocaust jueu. Gairebé trenta anys més tard, Beatriz Caravaggio posa en imatges aquesta partitura en tres moviments per a quartet de corda i cinta pregravada. A partir de l’enregistrament canònic de Kronos Quartet i de l’ús d’imatges d’arxiu de l’època, l’autora duu a terme un tríptic videogràfic que recull els viatges en tren que Reich va realitzar en la seva infantesa pels Estats Units, en contraposició als trens de deportació de víctimes del nazisme en època de guerra. Gairebé trenta anys més tard, aquesta obra videogràfica confereix vida visual a la partitura, interpretada pel Kronos Quartet. Tot parteix de Different Trains, obra d'un autor nascut el 1936 que, juntament amb compositors com ara John Cage o Philip Glass, és un dels noms fonamentals en la història de la música contemporània dels EUA. És una obra per a quartet de corda i so enregistrat que s'estructura en tres moviments. El compositor rememora els viatges en tren que ell mateix va fer entre el 1939 i el 1942 entre Nova York i Los Angeles arran del divorci dels pares, i els posa en relació amb el viatge en tren, molt probablement amb destinació a un camp de concentració, que hauria estat obligat a realitzar un nen de la seva mateixa edat a l'Europa d'aquell mateix període. 

Vint-i-vuit anys després que la peça fos composta, la realitzadora Beatriz Caravaggio va rebre l'encàrrec de la Fundación BBVA de crear una obra videogràfica que posés imatges a la música. I ella ho va fer partint de l'enregistrament, considerat canònic, que havia fet el Kronos Quartet (protagonista de la jornada inaugural del Grec 2019) l'any 1989. Sobre aquest enregistrament, l'autora munta imatges d'arxiu que tant mostren la bellesa del paisatge americà com les ombrívoles estampes dels trens que traslladaven deportats als camps d'extermini o que exhibeixen la cara més crua de la guerra. Una pantalla dividida en tres parts permet a Caravaggio crear un riquíssim collage d'imatges en forma de vídeo multicanal que ha estat considerat pel mateix Steve Reich com una obra "reflexiva i emocionant". Amb la col·laboració de Fundación BBVA. Vídeo multicanal SD / blanc i negre i color Aquest film va ser realitzat l'any 2016. 29 min.

Dance and Boxing

Mourad Merzouki, artistic director of the Center Chorégraphique de Créteil, certainly expresses his passion for boxing that he practices on the set as an outlet for the violence of the world. By the beauty and the force of the paintings that he proposes, his dancers, with bodies resulting from Caravaggio's paintings, steeped in sensuality and suffering, or dynamited by clown numbers that twist upside down on the board, defy the rules and standards. Hip-hop here makes up the sweat of boxers, the musical combines with the dance break to the sound of a cello, boxing balloons fall in rain of sparks under the arched body bows that bend with the lightness of the princesses of fairy tales. Men or women? They are capable of all daring and violence, seized with an alternating current that blows hot and cold. On this subject, the musical transitions are absolutely beautiful, which punctuate the rhythm and the melody, Philipp Glass and Maurice Ravel. We warned you, it's pure happiness.

It starts in a boxing ring. Gloves as big as blood-red fists spring from the ring, sixteen big rosebuds spinning in arabesque, fireworks of a promise of a fight as cruel as sentimental. A bouquet of strength in an ocean of sweetness, projected with a cosmic energy. Around them, sitting on chairs gliding in the dark and whose black wrought iron backs draw infinite curves, the four musicians of the Debussy Quartet make the boxing dancers breathe through a series of classical or contemporary works. Christophe Collette, Cédric Conchon, Vincent Deprecq and Marc Vieillefon, classical violinists, do not play in a backstage, they do not accompany choreographic movements. They are body and soul involved, moving, a creation that will knit for a little over an hour the love of boxing, hip-hop dance and music as a vector of emotions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGRRZUilldo
