Somehow I activated this accidentally, so as I was soaking in a warm tub I got to listen to an awesome Jason Mraz concert...it compiled a playlist for me and played a bunch of clips I had never heard...heavenly...
I will definitely use this feature again!
Jason Mraz goes baroque here on this version of "Mr Curiosity" he did at a jazz festival in Rotterdam!
Speaking of which, if anyone watches E2 ("E Squared") on PBS, they ran a GREAT documentary about the architecture and vision behind the city planning of that Borneo Sporenberg region of Amsterdam...that's very viewworthy. You can probably find it at PBS online to watch free or maybe on YouTube. It's a fascinating study of the compromises involved in planning a city. There the compromise is a sacrifice of green space due to the architectural opting for the horizontal over the vertical. There's a funny vignette in there about how they go around a zoning roadblock for a bridge which defied ordinance (I guess they don't have "lets" or whatever over there) by calling it a work of art, a sculpture lol. Guess what. The bridge got built. I think it was Brad Pitt narrating it, but he did a good job. There was no camera on him, so he had no opportunity to go all squirrely.
Some background on Borneo Sporenberg
Oh, I found it on YouTube. Here is a five minute segment from the docu I watched. The one Dutch guy is dishy.
The two books I am enjoying most this week are Speak Truth to Power and Boswell's Clap by William Ober, M.D.
I want to blog about the former, which is a powerful, ethical work...a work witnessing witness.
