Glenn Gould 75/25.
Happy Would-Be 75th Birthday to Glenn Gould, genius pianist, filosophe, and all-round nut.
TAKE the quiz! EXPLORE his haunts! LISTEN to him talk about his chair! Happy Birthday, you beautiful weirdo! (Perviously celebrated here, but what the hell...)

I failed the test miserably... and then again, I never heard of Glen Gould before. My interest has been perked, as he sounds right up my alley. Thanks for the post, Capt.

Hey, Cap, thanks for posting this. I heard about the CBC bash and was about to post, but you beat me to it and good thing too cuz those are some great links. Other Gould event: The Museum of Civilization is holding a special year long exhibit to celebrate.

The grunts and groans are definitely part of what make Gould and Jarrett so awesomely awesome.

Jarrett was aparently awesomely awful to the audience at Umbria recently. [Assume appropriate alliterative assumptions.] Here's a basic google search about it all. For once, a google search displays in almost linear terms - we want him! Here he comes. Here's video! Wait, what? Oh, shit. We really wanted him. Fuck him! Fuck him entirely!

"apparently"

Glenn, unlike Jarrett was not an insufferable twit- just an eccentric dude who played like a god. Jarrett also plays like a god but man, he makes me hate myself for so admiring his musicianship.
