Pour one out for Edgar Comee of Brunswick, Maine
19th-century Downeast mariners pronounced the compass point "north northeast" as
"no'nuth-east"
', and so on. citation needed For
decades, Edgar Comee, of Brunswick, Maine, waged a determined battle against use of the term "nor'easter" by the press, which usage he considered "a pretentious and altogether lamentable affectation" and "the odious, even
loathsome, practice of landlubbers who would be seen as salty as the sea itself"'. His efforts, which included mailing hundreds of postcards, were profiled, just before his death in 2005 at the age of 88, in The New Yorker. (121
Despite the efforts of Comee and others, the term was frequently used by the press in the 19th century.

I feel like FL is a race people are sleeping on… Moody’s an appointee so it’s not like she necessarily has a deep well of support aside from the R next to her name, and she’s implicated in the Hope Florida Scandal… don’t know what the organizing is like but I can imagine the FL Rs have gotten lazy!

Sorry to come in out of nowhere but are you willing to share your server with internet randos with little kids? My kids are getting increasingly frustrated with me for my prohibition on YouTube!

Great little detail in the article!
Patrick compared the experience to something from a television programme "I
Ouldn't believe it when I saw it," he said.
"I have only ever seen a cockroach in Cardiff museum. Honestly it was like something straignt out of those 'hotels of hell' programmes."

And maybe this is antisemitic of me, but I imagine that Matisyahu’s views on Gaza are… not the same as Macklemore’s.

I keep being confused throughout this whole thing because I keep thinking Macklemore IS Matisyahu!

Can’t believe this came out in 1999 - feel like it’s so much heavier and more progressive than anything else at the time. And only the faintest hint of the stench of 90s/00s alt-metal, something that can really turn me off.

This recording ruined all other Shosty 8’s for me - the tempo in the Allegro non Troppo is absolutely prefect and it’s unbelievable how effectively they build up and hold the tension!

Haha that’s what I was wondering - thinking the sheer volume of many of the Brilliant sets would easily catapult it to #1! Still impressed that Hyperion made it to a close second!

Just checked Mensa’s Wikipedia article and found the least surprising thing
The society was ostensibly to be non-political in its aims and free from all other social distinctions, such as race and religion. 2] However, Berrill and Ware were both disappointed with the resulting society. Berrill had intended Merga as "an aristocracy of the intellect" and was unhappy that the majority of members came from working or lower-class homes, [101 while Ware said: "I do get disappointed that so many members spend so much time solving puzzles." [11]

Ooh never heard that one! tbh I don’t really have any particular reason for liking the Solti best beyond it being the first one I heard; your list has inspired me to branch beyond it though! Especially what you say about some of the readings playing the finale sarcastically.

Great article! My only problem is it doesn’t mention the Solti/Chicago recording, which is the one I imprinted on and can’t get past! I love Mravinsky’s Tchaik 4 & 6, but for some reason his 5 seems weirdly lacking in energy to me.

I bought Wolf Hall last year (or maybe two years ago!) but have been kind of intimidated to start it. I also know pretty much nothing about Thomas Cromwell - is that a good place to be going into it?

Oh maybe so! I haven’t heard the Prokofiev string quartets, and aside from the piano concertos there’s not much Prokofiev that has really jumped out at me. Do you feel like Weinberg 4 is similar to the Prokofiev string quartets or something else? That’s a high recommendation for me!
