  1. Shostakovich was in London in 1972 and saw a musical. Twice. Curious? >> http://standpointmag.co.uk/... (via @jessicaduchen)
  2. Pleased to see in the SMH that there are plans to make a movie about Lola Montez's notorious visit to Australia, with Catherine Zeta-Jones
  3. Finally listening to the recording of Pal Joey I bought 6 weeks ago. Bewitching.
  4. The linguistics of retweets: http://tr.im/qMuJ. (via @unmodern)
  5. Wishing a happy "4th July" to all my US friends! I love that it's the only day of the year when Americans put the date in the logical order.
  6. I propose #firstballet and #firstshakespeare as well – Giselle and Macbeth respectively.
  7. I believe that @funwithiago started #firstopera. What was your #firstopera? (via @Ginevra77) Mine was Rigoletto when 10 or 11. Good choice.
  8. @otterhouse One of my Dutch friends is much entertained by Aussie diphthongs. When I overdo it saying "you know" he spells it "knuij".
  9. If you love words in a creative, easy-spirited, good-humoured way, then you'll enjoy http://wordie.org & @wordie for hi-lights #followfriday

  12. wotd: more great "tw-" proposals for going quiet on twitter: twidling, tweticent, twiet, twilight, twurking, twilence…
  13. Hurray for those (e.g. @sandramogensen) who make the nice distinction b/n practise & practice! I was taught ice is a noun, & so is practice.
  14. Listening to Dinu Lipatti playing Bach D minor concerto w/ Concertgebouw. Ok, so not trendily authentic. But I Don't Care. Magnificent.
  15. wotd: cutesy word, beginning with "tw-", for going quiet on twitter. Some great suggestions, leaning towards "twidling"…
  16. wotd: no doubt there's a cutesy word, beginning with "tw-", for going a bit quiet on twitter.
  17. wotd: self-expression: n. "the expression of one's feelings, thoughts or ideas, esp. in writing, art, music or dance." i.e. a creative act
  18. This Works!!! @timtfj I unblock [blocked spammers showing in followers] & immediately re-block & they seem to disappear. (via @Pattyoboe)
  19. @BrittenSinfonia We had the Play Me I'm Yours project in Sydney earlier this year. Fun on day 1, but the pianos ended up *very* out of tune.
  20. This C16th ditty by Hubert Wælrant used to give us hysterics when I was in high school. http://tr.im/qsPG (mp3); http://tr.im/qsPS (pdf)
