Conductors Conducting the Climax of Mahler 2


No doubt, Bernstein is the best. He seems to be genuinely reacting to the ecstasy of the moment. As you can imagine, such an epic musical and poetic statement elicits an incredible amount of podium histrionics from various conductors. A close second to Bernstein, in terms of raw emotional choreography, is Sir Simon Rattle.


You’d think Gustavo Dudamel would have a similarly crazy reaction to this music–after all, one of the great inspirations in his life is Leonard Bernstein–but here, he is remarkably restrained.


Oh, sure, he’s still into the music, but not with his trademark unbridled passion.

If there’s one general consistency throughout conductors’ interpretations of Mahler 2, it’s that the mouth must be open. From typically reserved Claudio Abbado…


…to the exuberance of Zubin Mehta.


Mariss Jansons wins the award for Best Facial Expression.


And Riccardo Chailly wins the award for Most Deranged.

Guy Takes A Bath In 500lbs., Of Clear Silly Putty And It Gets WEIRD

By Jake Young

Online retailer Vat19 has been making goofy videos promoting their even goofier wares for almost decade on Youtube. Yet this recent post about the mysterious properties of "Liquid Glass" putty turns from funny to freaky real quick as one of their spokespeople slowly descends into 500 lbs of the semi-solid substance... without a plan for how to get out. –Dorkly

SNL Hilariously Mocks One Of Trump’s Biggest Supporters During Opening

Saturday Night Live hilariously skewered Donald Trump’s misogyny and the women who love his campaign during the sketch show’s cold open.

 The sketch begins with Kate Bolduan, played by Kate McKinnon saying:

    “Welcome back to At This Hour. I’m Kate Bolduan.  I’ve got the brain for MSNBC, the hair for Fox News. So here I am at CNN.”

Bolduan then introduces Tea Party News Network host and fervent Trump supporter Scottie Nell Hughes. During a recent appearance on CNN, the real life Hughes defended comments Trump had made where he said that he would punish women who sought abortions. She defended him saying that Trump had fallen victim to a trap laid out by the liberal media.

    Hughes, played by Cecily Strong, joined Bolduan saying, “Hi Kate. As a woman I like Donald Trump, but as a full-blown nutjob, I friggin’ love him!”

Bolduan then questions Hughes defense of Trump’s sexism, asking her why she would support someone who tweeted out an obviously sexist picture of Ted Cruz’s wife.

SNL mocks the sheer length that Hughes will go to in order to defend Trump at any costs and Trump’s hand size by having Hughes reply:

    “Actually, that was an accident. Okay cuz’ Donald’s hands are just so big he can’t see what every little tweet his fingers retweet.”

After confirming that Hughes is “seriously” using that answer, she presses the Trump super fan on the matter of Trump’s comments regarding abortion. Hughes then pulls out the first answer she can think fo saying:

    “What that is, was just Donald making an April Fool’s joke, cus’ it was April Fool’s.”

Bolduan responded to Hughes saying that Trump had made the comment on March 30. Hughes responds while nervously laughing, saying that that is the reason the joke is so funny. –Addicting Info
