Ancient Greek Music: Sappho's Wedding Hymn (Epithalamion)

The song is ΕΠIΘAΛAMIO THΣ ΣAΠΦOYΣ (Epithalamio tis Sapfous), taken from the collection of recreated Greek music made by Petros Tabouris (ΠΕΤΡΟΣ ΤΑΜΠΟΥΡΗΣ): Melos Arheon (MEΛOΣ APXAION) - Vol.1 Secular Music of Greek Antiquity.

Fragment 111:

ἴψοι δἡ τὁ μἐλαθρoν,
ὑμἠναoν,
ἁἐρρετε, τἐκτoνες ἄνδρες·
ὑμἠναoν,
γάμβρoς εἱς ἐρχεται ἶσoς Ἄρευι,
ὑμἠναoν,
ἄνδρoς μεγάλω πoλυ μἐσδων.
ὑμἠναoν.

Oh the roof on high,
sing hymnaios,
raise up, craftsmen,
sing hymnaios.
The bridegroom comes just like Ares,
a man much bigger than a big man.
Sing hymnaios.

***
Sappho (Σαπφώ) of Lesbos (Λέσβος), lived in the VII-VI century BC, and was a great lyric poet of Ancient Greece.

‘ABSOLUTELY INFANTILIZING’: DR. KEITH ABLOW EXPLAINS PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF HEALTH CARE RULING TO MEGYN KELLY

Abortion facility staffers dance after botched abortion

On Friday, October 21, 2011, an ambulance arrived at Affiliated Medical Service in Milwaukee to take another woman to the hospital after a botched abortion. AMS staff can be seen singing, dancing and even threatening pro-life vigilers as the woman was taken away. This is at least the third time this year an ambulance has arrived at AMS after a botched abortion; sidewalk counselors recorded two separate ambulance visits on April 8. Abortionist Bernie Smith was reportedly on duty.

Drone Ethics

Drone industry releases ethics code

The guidelines focus on three principals: safety, professionalism, and respect. They include promises that the industry will properly test all drones before flight, comply with all laws governing aircraft, respect the privacy of individuals and work to better educate the public.

I feel so much better now that they safely, professionally, and respectfully violate my natural rights.

Moochelle, MICHELLE OBAMA: THERE‘S ’NO PLACE BETTER’ THAN CHURCH TO TALK ABOUT POLITICAL ISSUES

Legally, churches are restricted from delving too deeply into the political schema. While they can address the issues of the day, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations forbid pastors and faith leaders from endorsing candidates from the pulpit. Many conservative and liberal leaders, alike, rail against these regulations, claiming that they are unfair and that they hamper free speech.

“To anyone who says that church is no place to talk about these issues, you tell them there is no place better – no place better,” Obama told the African Methodist Episcopal Church’s 49th general conference, held in in Nashville, Tenn.

“Because ultimately, these are not just political issues – they are moral issues,” she said. “They’re issues that have to do with human dignity and human potential, and the future we want for our kids and our grandkids.”

A clip from the speech captures the point

CNN has a longer version, too, showing Obama warning the congregation about “other folks” who are active (i.e. Republicans):

Ian Hunter and Todd Rundgren - Live 1980 (Disk 2) (With Bonus Tracks)

According to, "Buckeye Randy," a source on the Ian Hunter site who was at the show this is the 1980.10.20, IH/Rundgen, Agora, Akron OH show; I had assumed it was the 1980.10.19 gig with IH/Rundgen, Agora, Cleveland OH since on YouTube the poster stated it was "Cleveland 1980." This was an audience recording.

Todd Rundgren & Ian Hunter & Mick Ronson - Live The Agora 1980 (Full Bootleg with Bonus tracks)

'Election 1980' single, 2:15

'ELECTION 1980' single was released in late 1980 in time for the presidential election between Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter and independent candidate John Anderson. The recording itself is a comedic cut and paste piece that was popular on the nationally syndicated radio program, The Dr. Demento Show

In the recording, the artist, Dickie Goodman, is heard interviewing Reagan, Carter and Anderson on the eve of the election and each of the candidates responds back through recorded lines from the Top 40 hits of that time.

This record is worth noting here as two tracks from Xanadu were used for this single, Magic and Xanadu.

Goodman has made a career out of these types of novelty records, going far back to 1956 as part of 'Buchanan & Goodman' with their first hit, The Flying Saucer Pt. 1 & 2. This first single had space men invading Earth while Goodman asks questions to them and authorities with small excepts of hits from that same year were used for answers.

Goodman continued to issue similar records that comedicly mirrored the times: Mr. Jaws* (for the popular movie), Energy Crisis 74, Watergrate (Nixon and Watergate), Kong (for the 1977 remake), Superfly Meets Shaft, On Campus (1969), Hey E. T.!, Buchanan & Goodman On Trial (1956 single responding to the lawsuits from the their first single) and so on.

Dickie died in 1989 and his son had written his father's biography, King Of Novelty for Libris Books in 2002. 'Election 80' was out-of-print for years until in 1998 when a second CD collection of Goodman's works was released, entitled 'Greatest Fables Vol. 2', which is believed to be still in print.

*For you more anal-retentive fans, especially the ONJ ones, Goodman used a part of the chorus from 'Please Mr. Please' in the original 1974 Mr. Jaws single. Be sure to look for the original version as sequent versions replaced ONJ cut with a different singer.

PS: the Casey Kasem "bit" at the end is NOT part of the single.

Tag Archives: Ian Hunter

"Ian hunter performed a mixture of tracks from his time with Mott the Hoople and from his solo career, whilst also throwing in a couple of well rehearsed covers: these being Isolation by John Lennon and Sweet Jane by the Velvet Underground (considerably better than when performed by Lou Reed the previous year!). The covers were the only tracks I properly enjoyed throughout the set, though to give Ian Hunter credit I had not listened to anything other than his hits though as a stage performer (along with the rest of the band) he was very good, especially for a man of 73. This was set to change however for Ian’s big finale, ‘All the Young Dudes’. This anthem in glam rock was written by David Bowie and performed by Mott the Hoople in 1972 and is one of my favourite songs of all time. Closing the set with this was clearly a great idea, as I’d imagine almost everyone is aware of the songs existence, making it a real sing along tune. The only niggle at this set is not aimed at the performer, but at the crowd for instead watching Kool and the Gang and not singing along to one of the best songs of all time."

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Robert Lewis, Enola Gay

The 2007 documentary by Steven Okazaki "White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki":

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0911010/

Some Hiroshima survivors were flown to the US in 1955 to get plastic surgery for wounds they received when the atomic bomb was dropped. Among them was Shigeko Sasamori, who was interviewed for the film.

At the time, the leader of the mission, Kiyoshi Tanimoto, was featured on the TV show "This Is Your Life" where he met Captain Robert A. Lewis, the co-pilot of the Enola Gay, the plane that bombed him.

Celebration of Freedom

The big day, of course, is Wednesday, the 4th of July. As usual, it starts at 10 a.m. with the official Celebration of Freedom ceremony at Independence Hall. There will be patriotic music, inspirational speeches, and readings from the Declaration of Independence.

Following the official ceremony, the Philadelphia Independence Day Parade will commence at 11 a.m. More than 5,000 people - from marching bands to military groups and performers on floats - will wind their way around the historic district. It will be a tribute to the 10th Independence Day since the 9/11 attacks.

After the parade, it is time to hightail it over to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway for the noon-to-7 p.m. Party on the Parkway, between 20th Street and the Eakins Oval. Food of all sorts, three stages for music, art activities for children, and a variety of impromptu sporting events and games will dot the Parkway. Radio Disney will be there with face-painting, music performances, and craft-making for the Disney-centric.

All of the celebrations culminate Wednesday evening with the Philly 4th of July Jam and Grand Finale Fireworks, starting at 7 p.m. along the Parkway. Philadelphia's own Ahmir Thompson will be producing a show that will have his band, the Roots, Queen Latifah, Common, Daryl Hall, and Joe Jonas (plus some surprises, said Johnson - Boyz II Men, for example, showed up as a surprise last year). Following the concert, about 10 p.m., there will be those Grand Finale Fireworks over the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP)

An electromagnetic pulse (sometimes abbreviated EMP) is a burst of electromagnetic radiation. The abrupt pulse of electromagnetic radiation usually results from certain types of high energy explosions, especially a nuclear explosion, or from a suddenly fluctuating magnetic field. The resulting rapidly-changing electric fields and magnetic fields may couple with electrical/electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges.

In military terminology, a nuclear warhead detonated hundreds of kilometers above the Earth's surface is known as a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) device. Effects of a HEMP device depend on a very large number of factors, including the altitude of the detonation, energy yield, gamma ray output, interactions with the Earth's magnetic field, and electromagnetic shielding of targets.

It has long been known that there are many ways to protect against nuclear EMP (or to quickly begin repairs where protection is not practical); but the United States EMP Commission determined that such protections are almost completely absent in the civilian infrastructure of the United States, and that even large sectors of the United States military services were no longer protected against EMP to the level that they were during the Cold War. The public statements of the physicists and engineers working in the EMP field tend to emphasize the importance of making electronic equipment and electrical components resistant to EMP — and of keeping adequate spare parts on hand, and in the proper location, to enable prompt repairs to be made.[22][34][47] The United States EMP Commission did not look at the civilian infrastructures of other nations.
