The Omniscient Mussel

Why Internet TV Is The Future

1. Go here.
2. Push the pink play button.
3. Slide over to 36:00.
4. Take note of what the horns do at 36:25
5. Stand in awe of Dvorak’s mad prescience skillz. Sure, he was all about incorporating native American music into his own idiom but that gesture is straight out of barbershop quartet. HOW DID HE KNOW?

Before tonight/this morning [insomniac freelancer] Miss Mussel had never heard this symphony before nor the Chamber Orchestra of Europe or seen John Elliot Gardiner conduct. Later on today/tomorrow, she will take in the Berliner playing Schumann and some Zimmerman with another conductor who doesn’t come to her corner of the universe.

That, ladies and gents, is why Internet TV is the future.

On this day..
