Classical music. Writing. Drawist and paintist. Writing/drawing a book about Shostakovich in 1960s. 🛸. Also @holocaustreader

Here is the first part of my unfinished Shostakovich graphic novel. There are no pictures; it's just the text. If you want a look, look now because I might change my mind and remove it.

@VladVexler I find it interesting, following from what you say, how often I see said advocates of liberal democratic positions frame dissent from those views as the result of a lack of education or, most bizarrely, a lack of exposure to the arts.

@KlassicalKat_88 WTF? Wild.

[Andrew Morris @devilstrillblog]

The "Following" tab seems very broken, offering me up all sorts of shite I definitely don't follow. It gives me this exchange, between people with whom I have no connection, and which surely belongs on a WhatsApp group.

[Andrew Morris @devilstrillblog]

Apparently the left-wing thing to do now is to describe Jews as "an invasive species".

[Andrew Morris @devilstrillblog]

@PetrocTrelawny Fantastic! You posting this is 2 worlds of my social media unexpectedly overlapping (classical music and planes)

I remember trying to listen to her podcast when it first came out and it was just this sort of thing.

Genuinely had to check if it was April 1st

The zombie persistence of The Triple Entente and Triple Alliance in school history lessons on the causes of WW1 shows that history teaching will never change.

I find myself utterly disgusted by this man.

Hell has frozen over and pigs fly 🤘🏽😂

@TheZignal Definitely an F35. Not an F15 because the vertical stabilisers (tails) are not vertical enough, but not diagonal enough for an F22.

@Becca_JF21 @thoroughlygood I think the lines were always very blurry, and many on the newspaper side were actually very welcoming to those of us on the blog side - yourself included. But there was a period, which now seems very long ago, when SOME looked down their noses at those of us outside the tent.

[Andrew Morris @devilstrillblog]

@CrossEyedPiano @thoroughlygood Remember meeting you and Jon at the RFH some years back!

[Andrew Morris @devilstrillblog]

Hopefully it's clear that it should have been "invective"

[Andrew Morris @devilstrillblog]

When I read some of the deranged incentive against classical musicians posted in the comments on their Facebook clips, I remember with amusement the days when it was the bloggers who were reviled as the great unwashed threat to the art form.

[Andrew Morris @devilstrillblog]

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 Enjoyed hearing that while I was sat in traffic in Newport this evening. Would love to go to the concert. She remains a really formidable musician.

[Andrew Morris @devilstrillblog]

@ufouapam @DoW_AARO I have to say that all the mismatch between all the AARO hate and the much more positive publicly available info on Kosloski has puzzled me for a while.

[Andrew Morris @devilstrillblog]

@1714tak I just had a shocking drive home, but then your post amused me, so thanks for that 😄

[Andrew Morris @devilstrillblog]

@RmjBooks Flute solo, it should say in second reply

[Andrew Morris @devilstrillblog]

@RmjBooks Is a model of scholarly clarity, showing clearly what he added to the first movement orchestration and then giving the short score at the bottom of each page elsewhere. (End)
