# 8      Tinners, you've just made me hoot with joy!    Cheesy     I've been transferring the BBC Pinter season, of 2002, from off-air video to DVD and had just finished watching "Old Times" - a BEEB repeat of a classic 1975 production - and your posting could have straight out of the play with its convoluted memories and associations.
Cheesy Yes, that was a little convoluted, reading it back just now ... Sorry about that, but glad it provoked a joyous hoot from the North!

My favourite Pinter-related story was recounted by Alan Bennett, who told how the BBC had phoned him to say it was Pinter's 50th birthday and did he have a few words of comment? He said that he recommended a minute's silence. Grin

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Funny thing about allmusic.com -- which is a mostly unuseless resource -- go to the chamber music page, scroll down to "Top Composers" and click on Johannes Brahms. This takes you to the Johannes Brahms page, where you can click on "Chamber Music" under Genres, and lo&behold, it takes you back to the Chamber Music page. You can't actually see recommendations for Brahms chamber music!

Seeking them takes you into the endless loop described above.

I use allmusic.com all the time. A wiki it ain't, but if you can contact them with corrections which they dutifully amend. Yet I hadn't thought of using this site to find particular recordings. I have use the Gramophone guide in earlier years. But who can afford that annually?
