"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

Lazare-Lévy plays Roussel, Suite op.14 (3rd mvt)
And now, for something quite a bit different, the fine and relatively seldom played Albert Roussel played by the extremely fine, little known, French Pianist Lazare Lévy.

On Nova and Brian Greene
I hadn't watched Nova on PBS since before analog TV died and so hadn't seen Brain Greene's stuff. Visiting a relative and seeing the program about quantum entanglement was really disappointing. Personality driven science shows are for cabloid TV, not PBS. If anything he's more annoying than Neil deGrasse Tyson in that department.
Not tempted to buy TV again, I don't miss it at all.
