Anagrams
on: March 08, 2011, 01:57:36 PM
First of all, yes.  This was the best thing I had to do this morning.

https://wordsmith.org/anagram/advanced.html

Elliott Carter: Err, Toilet Talc
Alistair Hinton: Titian Loin Rash
Pierre Boulez: Zero, Pure Bile
Iannis Xenakis: Asinine Skin Ax
Luciano Berio: A Bouncier Oil
Brian Ferneyhough: Eh, Hung Fairy Boner
Tristan Murail: La~ I Rim Rat Nuts
Ryguillian: I'll Ruin Gay
Sylvano Bussotti: Oils Vast Boy Nuts or Noisy Butt Salvos
Alexander Scriabin: Cannibal Raider Sex
Bela Bartok: Karate Blob
Horatiu Radulescu: Oh, Aural Crud Suite
Michael Finnissy: Slimy Acne Finish
Karlheinz Stockhausen: A Zen-like, Shorn Cat Husk


I can make something really awful out of Iancu Dumitrescu, but I'll pass.  Try your own D:
If this work is so threatening, it is not because it's simply strange, but competent, rigorously argued and carrying conviction.

-Jacques Derrida

Ryguillian: I'll Ruin Gay

One might wonder what humorous attempt might have been made here at the expense of others; or, indeed, what rôle I might have had in precipitating any suck joke—which however ill-conceived will have the effect of a humorous rhyme—and in the last case what the intent of the author whose alias as we all know indeed implies such a long dong.

Inasmuch as I was most specifically—not—amused by this I could not but help but think of that particular Henry James passage wherein he writes:

Quote
a portent, the one that Haughty, by the same token, had done least to reassure him against, of the extent to which the native jungle harboured the female specimen and to which its ostensible cover, the vast level of mixed growths stirring wavingly in what- ever breeze, was apt to be identifiable but as an agitation of the latest redundant thing in ladies hats.

Indeed, one could analyze this passage in light of a certain hermeneutic or exegetical system in which one finds oneself laugh, but the joke—insofar as there is a joke—most certainly lies in Alistair’s hands [sic].

Best,

R. D. P. H.
“Our civilization is decadent and our language—so the argument runs—must inevitably share in the general collapse.”
—, an essay by George Orwell

Take Your Seat! Trifonov Plays Brahms in Berlin

“He has everything and more – tenderness and also the demonic element. I never heard anything like that,” as Martha Argerich once said of Daniil Trifonov. To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31.
