Today I learned how to use Constant Contact and Google AdWords. I also learned that Big Brother is watching like whoa. Did you realize that they know whether you click on the links in an email??

Well, Hello WALL-E

Fun fact:

Jerry Herman, the composer of Hello Dolly, knew last year that he'd licensed some of his songs to Pixar. But he didn't know what they'd be used for. Until he sat down and watched WALL-E. [HuffPo]

Can you imagine? Not only the surprise of having your fifty-year-old songs - by far not the most widely remembered in your songbook - turn out to be a major plot point in this fantastic little movie... but also that this fantastic little movie says your fifty-year-old songs are going to OUT-LIVE CIVILIZATION?!


In other news, despite the unlikely immortality of the b-tracks from Hello Dolly, the Tony Awards last night confirmed that musical theater has jumped the shark.

Don't mind the traffic...

Well, I just doubled the number of posts I've written here in the last two months! Sorry to clog your rss feeds or whatever, just posting some audition pieces for a blogging gig. Will let you know results, obviously. (and feedback welcome on the posts!)
