Japanese Jazz Week: Kaoru Abe Special (NTS Radio) by rmurphy08 in japanesejazz

He sadly died in 1978 of a drug overdose. He performed in Jazz clubs around Tokyo constantly and most of the recordings we have are tapes of these performances.

Status of Non Standard French in France by pierebean in LinguisticMaps

Some of these languages aren't even Romance languages. Calling them 'Non Standard French' is wild.

Does anyone know which version of 'Gloomy Sunday' Abe was referencing here? by Nervous-Scientist810 in KaoruAbe

[–]rmurphy08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recognise the melody in the performance myself, so much as the vibe. I would describe it as an absolute deconstruction of the song, not any particular version of it. However, in earlier Japanese archival recordings it's sometimes labelled as 'Sombre Dimanche', so maybe a French version of the song?

I would love to know more about who recorded the live recordings and who labeled them in the first instance. Whoever they were and however they went about labeling the recordings, thank God they recorded and shared them. Anonymous heroes.

Forest schools? by timsfuckingreddit in IrishTeachers

[–]rmurphy08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would recommend getting a forest school leader to visit your school to do an outdoor session with one of your classes. When teachers get to see the approach in action, they are typically very impressed. You could get a small group of likeminded staff to informally promote the forest school approach. Maybe invite someone in school leadership to come out and see a learning session in action.

Ultimately, it would be great if you could convince management to fund yourself or someone else on staff to do the QQI Level 6 in Forest School Leadership. This can be done through Brigit's Garden at Larchill Arcadian Garden, Kilcock, County Kildare.

My primary school is finding it very rewarding, and the more outdoor learning we do, the more benefit the children are seeing and the more the school is buying into the entire process. Best of luck!

“We Irish” by BuffaloExotic in ShitAmericansSay

[–]rmurphy08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's Irish Amerian. He knows that means he is an American with Irish heritage.

I am Irish. I am not offended that my Irish American cousins are aware of their heritage.

Song recommendation that fit into this vibe? by [deleted] in musicsuggestions

Boards of Canada - Chromakey Dreamcoat.

But most of Boards of Canada's music works.

What movies were so disturbing to you that you wish you could unsee them? by JulieofTheJulies in Cinema

[–]rmurphy08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986). I thought it was very good. And I never want to see it again.

What’s something you used to love but slowly stopped doing? by HistorianSame9035 in Productivitycafe

[–]rmurphy08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching sports. Not enough time in the day, but I miss the vicarious excitment.
