eubEither my Silly Putty is no good or my Red Meat comic is no good, because the one won't smoosh-copy the other. Possibly Times-Warner-SonyDisney goons forced a reformulation of Silly Putty to include anti-piracy logic.
After I took the 358 downtown, and picked up this Silly Putty at FAO Schwarz (not the world's cheapest place for it), I walked up to St. Mark's Cathedral for the concert. That's a fair walk, you say. Okay, but I didn't know that, because I went to 1245 10th Ave rather than 1245 10th Ave E. (10th Ave E is which direction from 10th Ave, kids? North. It's the northerly continuation.) A friendly-Russian-anarchist-looking Tully's guy clued me in, so I set off for the other 1245. St. Mark's is actually that ginormous cubical church overlooking I-5, I am now aware.
The reason I had to go to this concert was that they were doing Tallis' Spem in alium, a 40-part motet (think MIMD massively-parallel vocal work, English Renaissance) that I love. They also did another 40-part motet, Italian, while they were at it, as well as some smaller-scale motets and antiphons.
It kind of made me giggle that they sang Spem in alium twice through, to open and to close. Pandering to me, and I love it. But as the notes said, how often do you get a chance to sing it?
(Twice more tomorrow (viz. Sunday) on the Eastside.)
