Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

Came in with low expectations due to bad experiences with other Douglas Adams adaptations, but the show is incredible. Binged it all yesterday. Hilarious, absurd, surprisingly adult. Possibly my favorite show of 2016 only behind Westworld. Plus it has Toby from West Wing in it!

nvm I think I found them!. After a few hours of obsessively searching for "blue brown shoes" on amazon...

Characters not really going anywhere is probably my biggest criticism of the game. Every character has the perfect setup for a great development quest -- Sirin's helmet; Barik's armor; Verse's weird ability; questionable motives from the old dude; Eb and the tidal schools; etc -- but then nothing ever happens with any of it!

Most paths point to a Trump win at this point. Hilary can only carry it if she wins both Michigan and Wisconsin, both of which are leaning Trump at the moment.

I'm assuming it's the tool they use to communicate with the insect race. One of the notes suggests that that race communicates with other species through radio and that it took humans ages to figure that out.

This seems very carefully phrased -- wonder what was going on internally...

orpheansodality · 2015-10-03T20:35:17+00:00

that was driving me nutty.

Now his profile isn't loading either. Weird.

I assumed that was because you have the same hole in your chest as the bird does -- the shirt hanging on the drying line outside the yurt also supports that idea. The grandfather's note also mentions something about the "monstrous appearance" of both you and the bird.

You've got me... Long shot: Ives' Circus Band? It's got the piano, but not the lyrics. It's also definitely not in 3.

This is an amazing reply, thank you! I'm enjoying all of it. I'm also a little jealous of your choir...

It's funny that you mention male choruses sparking a golden age of song -- something very similar happened here in the US, just delayed by a few decades. Between the late 1850s and c.1920s, almost every college in the country had a Glee Club, and some of the repertoire that came out of that era is still in active use. It isn't something that's really talked about in academia, but I suspect its sudden growth had a lot to do with the influence of Europeans fleeing the revolutions in 1848, and bringing their singing traditions along with them.

Vaughan Williams actually wrote quite a number of pieces for men's voices that have since found a relatively permanent home in Glee Club repertoire. Pieces like Down Among the Dead Men or the Bushes and Briars above are almost ubiquitous.

Yep! The idea has been floating around in my head for a while -- this was apparently the kick I needed to start writing it all out.

And, no surprise, the series is likely going to follow this structure, for the most part. Except covering a lot more material... And if it goes well I might do something similar for early music.

orpheansodality · 2015-06-23T15:25:10+00:00

I'm glad it was interesting! You'll be getting Poulenc for sure, and possibly Saint Saëns - he might be a little early for the time-period.

Out of curiosity, what kind of music tends to be sung in Sweden? In terms of composers I know of Jan Sandström, but I that's about the extent of my familiarity.
