    A question for you pianists! When learning a new tune -- in what way would you approach it? I learn the right hand first, then the left hand, then try play together. I'm thinking it shouldn't be like that. I dunno :(

     

    I've just bought 2 piano books and printed out LOADS of sheet music which I want to learn.

    Thank You, Paj! EDIT! Meant in relation to your earlier post. Didn't see the one above :p I'll try to follow suit. Here is some stuff to listen while dancing alone. Beautiful.

     

     

    So Young...Innocent!

     

     

    For the Funzies.

     

     

    Super jazzy. Very Billie Holiday. Still beautiful. Such a bitchy message behind that arrangement :p I love it!

     

     

     

     

    It really feels so weird listening to her music again. To be honest, I've given up on her in the past 2 years or so. Listening to her stuff again...it sounds different. The message has changed. It's like what the hell did I know about the themes of her songs when I was 13...14...15. Love...death...loneliness...despair...lust.

     

    Even now I probably don't have a clue about them. First time I've been moved by music in a long while.

     

    I hope she recorded some stuff for the third album.

    I don't know about the others, but those two (especially Heath Ledger) are completely different to this case.

     

    Why? Because the drugs were legal? It wasn't their fault? At the core of it all, these people all died due to drug-abuse. Amy appears to be the only one to receive hate because of it. It really doesn't make sense. It is unjust to pick on her, tout simplement.

     

    I forgot Kurt Cobain as well.

    Oh! I found these nice effects for photography which appears to just be changing the contrast/brightness and all that. Makes anything look nice. Like my eye :p

    Are these effects supposed to be synonymous with being a hipster? I've seen them on Facebook a lot.

     

    I like it. Anyone in the know if these effects can be applied to videos? I will love if anyone could show me!! :love:

    Really quite shocking the amount of hate she is receiving even in death. It mystifies me given many have died and will die of similar causes.

     

    Michel Jackson. Heath Ledger. Marylin Monroe. Billie Holiday. Among others.

     

    Yet for them the drugs are somehow over-looked. I don't get it.

    The most horrible thing is that even in death the judgement and hate doesn't stop. I truly pity her. People can be such cruel things. I wish 'they''d show a little more sympathy and respect. As mentioned, a death's a death. It is sad.

     

    (I'm recalling Stalin's quote in relation to the idiotic comparison with Norway. Something like "One death is a tragedy, hundreds is just a statistic." Cold, but true. People did know her, Amy Winehouse. Listen to her music and you'll probably know more about her than you do yourself.)

     

    Personally, I do find it surprising. She had a terrible time in recent years but, to be fair, in the past year it seemed she had moved on. Particularly during those months she spent in some place by the beech far away. sigh

     

    Yes. My name is (partly) inspired by the great album of the same name. I needn't say how much I adored her. She was the first artist I truly got into.

    Interestingly, I found out while working today. It's my new job. I'm a waiter. 1st day I'm told about Oslo -- the place I plan to visit in about a week. 2nd day -- I'm told one of my favorite singers has died...

     

     

    I just wanna write pages and pages about this :( I'll stop though.

     

    It's bittersweet. She always looked so unhappy. Perhaps she can finally rest in peace. No torture.

    I feel in touch with nature. So much. Cycled for ages in my lonesome today. All my friends were busy. Usually I love to cycle with 1, 2, maybe 3 others.

     

    Alone time. Just what I need -- bleurgh. Still enjoyable.

     

     

    I sat on a road for 20+ minutes and wrote a poem. Not a soul passed by. As I returned the phone to its warm pocket a car passed by. Like a higher-force was protecting me. Making sure no-one distracted me while I composed my poem. Not the first time.

    Yes. Pretty much what all have said. Funny, this is the first time I've seen the thread...has a similar purpose to my thread about daily life.

     

    What I've done is made a list. I have to finish my "The Kiss" painting, begin a different painting, clean room, play Hotel Dusk 2, finish "The girl who kicked the hornet's nest", keep practicing piano, organise holiday and continue becoming fluent in French.

     

    Of course I'm still awfully bored sometimes but I'm kept sane by those things. Plus, J'ai Marilyn dans ma vie en ce moment, alors je sens à l'aise.

     

    Friends -- ils me satisfait the most right now. So I'm always (trying to) organise stuff with them. It's gone to the point where even texting them is the high-light of my day.

     

    Basically, I'm a man of the arts -- a Renaissance man. I play music, I paint pictures, I write poetry, I create and form films.

     

    Que sera sera. Whatever may be, may be. The future's not ours to see. Que sera sera.

    Haha, the Mam and Da watched the repeat of the Monster Ball HBO special last night. Completely converted. My Mam keeps calling me whenever Gaga comes on the radio :p She was literally shaking her head, (in disbelief?), after she saw the show and whispered "oh my god...oh my god...that was brilliant".

     

    Right Job.

     

     

    Separate note; I'm loving the new teal hair colour.

    Good man, Chair. I've got well over 30 of his films. Even a Hitchcock hiccup is just greater than most films. Realise now why my signature is devoted to him. He was well-reared.

    The best way to spend the next 17 minutes of your life -- watch it. I'm serious. Absolutely amazing film. The lack of any speech. Oh yes. Madame Tutli-Putli is me, with breasts and vagina. The ending is a lit "What the Fuck?" but it's just...left me speechless. The eyes...my favorite characteristic of anyone is beautiful eyes. Nothing draws me in deeper.

    Great film...well, I probably feel that way because of the cast. Mesmerized by Marilyn. I really don't like when she is pounded with make-up. This movie just makes her look beautiful. When she comes down that pole in nothing but a woolly sweater and panties! Honestly the definition of sex. She makes me want to be a woman. I would honestly just love to be her. The twinkle in her eye :love: So sexy. A woman I'd do in a heartbeat.

    Hilarious. Surprisingly modern. Cute. Marilyn is once again a lovable babe.

    Every few weeks or so. / they aren't regular.

    You sure you wanna do this, Honeybee? 'cause I sure am.

    Hold on. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

    So what do you want to do?

     

    I'm not entirely sure. I think I want something new. Adventure. Just to fly away somewhere and forget everything.

    The main hindrance is I'm tired of my own company. I think too much. I'm not lonely just...tired of my thoughts.

     

    It's funny how contemplative thinking is both man's greatest treasure and enemy.

     

    Nothing is good nor bad, but thinking that makes it so.

     

    Is it possible to feel so free yet trapped simultaneously?

     

    I have spouts where I do crazy shit.

     

    How often do these crazy spouts occur? :confused:
