#fifty percent

[itsmythang]

BOMBSHELL: Trump imposed 50% tariffs on India—not because of national security or Russian oil—but because Modi wouldn’t lie and give him credit for ending a war he didn’t end.

Smith: “He blew off an ally because the ally refused to lie for him personally.”

Ballroom is one of my favourite underrated musicals. It only ran 116 performances, perhaps slightly out of step with the style of the times - it premiered in 1978, the era of the rock opera, and when the hottest film musical around was Grease. Ballroom is more old fashioned than that, but it has a gorgeous score and a heartbreaking story - a widow who finds love again, only to find that she has been strung along just as she has come out of her shell.

Dorothy Loudon played the lead - a wonderful actor who played in Follies, and who originated (and won a Tony for) the role of Miss Hannigan in Annie. This is the song that has really survived - Fifty Percent, the eleven o'clock number, a fantastic torch song. I would love to see the show revived, though I suspect it's unlikely, but it's great in the meantime to see that this song has become a classic. Written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, the latter who died a couple of years ago, the couple best known perhaps for writing The Way We Were. That's a wonderful song, but Fifty Percent is every bit as good.

Fifty Percent

But, you know,

You hated it;

I know you hated it;

When I only gave fifty percent.

Though I was near spent,

And never got more than thirty from you.

Suddenly it was much fault!

You on the assault,

And me bewildered;

What a passive aggressive piece of shit.

[thefleshyougoveggie]

if you told me half of the truth (half of the truth)

it’d be twice as good as i’ve had

i guess that my bar’s pretty low

i guess that my luck’s pretty bad

Sandunes announces EP; hear ‘Fifty Percent’ (ft. Ramya Pothuri)

Mumbai-based producer Sandunes has shared details of her new EP, Spare Some Time, which is due for release on May 22 via !K7. The first track online ‘Fifty Percent’ showcases Sandunes’ signature laid-back, sparkling production sounds accompanied by vocals from up-and-coming Mumbai singer/songwriter, 20 year old Ramya Pothuri. Commenting on the collaboration, Sandunes (aka Sanaya Aredeshir) said: “This song is very close to my heart. I heard Trey Anastasio in a documentary once say that once you’ve told a personal/emotional story about a part of your life through a song, it’s like you opened a tap and things begin to flow out of you into your writing. This song was my first attempt at bringing a lot of vulnerability into the writing and to use the music-making in a more evocative and emotional way, rather than it coming from an intellectual head space. It really wrote itself in an evening after I poured my feelings onto a keyboard. Ramya is pretty much my neighbour, and she recorded the vocals at my studio in a few hours one evening and it was a go!”
