TRACKS ON REPEAT
do you any stories about crazy people? do share, i love crazy people.
i'm currently obsessing over the story of Alexander Scriabin and his work Mysterium (also known as Preparation for the Final Mystery). Sciabin believed that this piece of music when played would bring about the end of the world. he would die of ecstasy when he finished playing it and the human race would be replaced by "nobler beings." he began planning the piece in 1903 and worked on it until his death in 1915. the work was never completed, for better or for worse, the world will never know.
Russian composer Alexander Nemtin spent almost three decades on completing Scriabin's work. Nemtin completed the masterpiece in 1996 and obviously, we are no nobler but this is merely Nemtin's realisation of the pieces left behind. Here are clips of the cd that was released in 1996. personally, i think it's quite pretty.
Scriabin's notoriety had little to do with his music. his music is actually little known outside of Russia as it was simply too bizarre for the time. he is best known for his eccentricity which seems a shame. According to Harold Schoenberg, it is possible that Scriabin had a rare genetic disorder called synesthesia, in which sound is translated into color.

SQUIRREL GOES ON RAMPAGE, INJURES 3
it doesn't get any better than this!
An aggressive squirrel attacked and injured three people in a German town before a 72-year-old pensioner dispatched the rampaging animal with his crutch.
The squirrel first ran into a house in the southern town of Passau, leapt from behind on a 70-year-old woman, and sank its teeth into her hand, a local police spokesman said Thursday.
With the squirrel still hanging from her hand, the woman ran onto the street in panic, where she managed to shake it off.
The animal then entered a building site and jumped on a construction worker, injuring him on the hand and arm, before he managed to fight it off with a measuring pole.
"After that, the squirrel went into the 72-year-old man's garden and massively attacked him on the arms, hand and thigh," the spokesman said. "Then he killed it with his crutch."
The spokesman said experts thought the attack may have been linked to the mating season or because the squirrel was ill.

IT'S UGLY AND IT CAUSES SEIZURES!
the reaction to this hideous logo began almost immediately after its unveiling, but just to rub salt in the wounds of the great minds that thought spending over $800K on this was a bright idea, animated footage has been pulled off the airwaves and cyberspace because it was causing triggering epileptic fits
