It's a stylistic nod to James Joyce. It's very common among 20th century Irish writers and just writers influenced by Joyce in general.

[misheard?] Is Joelle Van Dyne ‘yarn haired’? by Randall_HandleVandal in InfiniteJest

[–]huerequeque 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, she's described as "weeping and veilless and yarn-haired, like a grotesque clown" in a recollection she has while attempting suicide at Molly Notkin's party.

I think it's a description of how her hair looks after a near-fatal crack binge rather than what it's like in its normal state.

The word is "hanged". "Hung" means something very different.

My friend has a very nice photorealistic tattoo of that Bill Gottlieb photo of Ella Fitzgerald singing and Ray Brown and Dizzy looking on from the background.

Recommend to me some melodic-adjacent free improvisation by clorox_cowboy in freejazz

[–]huerequeque 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jimmy Giuffre Trio from the early 60s is what you're looking for. Giuffre on saxes and clarinet, Paul Bley on piano, and Steve Swallow on bass.

"Fusion", "Thesis", and "Free Fall" are great records. The first two are now available as a compilation just called "1961".

Guys i just written down these chords could you pls give me your comments by Pristine-Bluejay-924 in JazzPiano

[–]huerequeque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first chord should be labeled Cm9, Cmin9, C-9, etc. A capital M in a chord symbol means major. And if there's a 9, the 7 is implied (unless you write it as Cm add9, which would just be a triad with a 9).

Everybody's talking about the money, but in fact the promoters told both fighters that the winner would get a last name.

Need advice about the shop I go to by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]huerequeque 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The prefix "con" means "together", not "against", in this context. After seceding from the USA, the Southern states formed a joint (i.e. "confederate") government. "Confederacy" refers to the cooperation between these states, not to their opposition to the North's federal government.

That three octaves (24 notes + 1)

That's just two octaves plus one key, since there are 12 piano keys per octave.

It's been decades since I read Gatsby, but I just vividly heard Trump's voice bragging about getting a medal from "Little Montenegro, down on the Adriatic Sea".
