The Grammy™ nominees were announced today. I had this faint hope that Porcupine Tree would be nominated for Best Surround Sound album as their last album, In Absentia, won Best Mix at the 2004 Surround Music Awards. Alas, it was not to be.
...ish is quite cool. The villain wants to disarticulate all language and The Doctor has gone on about "lexical transcendentalism" as well as the omniverbum, the longest word in the cosmos. Good stuff! Some good quotes:
The Doctor: "Across the night sky, beyond the stars, English brings people together in the pursuit of knowledge and wonder!"
Peri(referring to The Doctor): "He loves language, which is great, but it blows poetic and pedantic at times."
Warren: "Every dictionary ever written was a monster, a monument, an authority at the centre of it's linguistic empire. But now, the colonials are speaking their own language…"
The Doctor: "Their own language! Well if you consider ish, ish, ish, some new variation of sparkling after dinner repartee, you're as senseless as the ish itself!"
They use a sound from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio show and I chuckle everytime I hear it because I keep waiting for someone to start talking about Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters.
Continuing this line of thought, the Beeb has put up a teaser of the new series. In a slightly different vein, here's the coolest urinal I've ever seen. And it's in Sheboygan!
Oh, Mike Malloy is a moron.
