don't ask why, but i need to locate the sheet music to "too-a-loo-ra-loo-ral" (irish ditty made famous by bing crosby), preferrably a -traditional- version, and i need it in two hours. again, i'd rather not say why, but if anyone can deliver on this they'll have the gratitude of my whole family.

too urgent to be clever.

― jess, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I know the lyrics to Come On Eileen if that helps.

― Ally, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

no, it doesnt.

Hmm.. sheet music on web a bit tricky. Perhaps you could ring a library that has a sheet music collection and beg them to fax it to you.

In the meantime, here's a MIDI file of it and here's the guitar chords

― N., Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah, i've been searching for the last half hour and nothing. i'm not so sure it's possible. but if anyone does turn it up, thanks. and ally, sorry if i sounded catty, it's been a very trying morning so far.

― jess, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Jess, if you save this (off N.'s page) by right-clicking on it, and then open it with a midi editor then you can see the sheet music. There is a free midi editor called Anvil Studio which you can download.

I was hoping that was possible but had no idea of the technicalities. WELL DONE SAM.

― N., Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Okay I just did it but the bugger who sequenced it put it in 6 tracks (and they're displayed in one long staff each) so you're going to have a frustrating time putting it back together into decent "mixed" piano music.

― Sam, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, well maybe try other midi versions of it. I came across quite a few on the web with this google search and they sounded different to one another I think. I'm not going back and trying them again cause I'll get a reputation at work as some kind of Oirophile mentalist and I can't be bothered to plug my headphones in.

― N., Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

there's one place here - it's not free though, sorry.

― Kim, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Whoops, that was screwed up. It's in there though - just do a digital sheet music search for Irish Lullaby and you'll find it.

― Kim, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Woah - Kim wins!

― N., Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ahh, I'm just chock full of surprises aren't I?

― Kim, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I HAD THOUGHT NICK DASTOOR WAS RESOUCEFUL...NOW I FEEL LET DOWN. A HERO SLAIN

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, yes - I'm useless. All gather to throw sticks.

― N., Tuesday, 5 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Can we?

two years pass...

help! i really need to read Anthony Kwele Appiah's essay "Is the Post in Post-Colonial the same as the Post in Post-Modern?", I can't find it on the internet - if anyone can, or if anyone has a copy of it that they could maybe scan or something, it'd be massively helpful. apparently there's a retitled version of the essay in his book "In My Father's House" which my university library has BUT it fekking closed until thursday and my essay is due on friday ARRGGGHHH - so if anyone has that book, you could at least give me the relevant chapter name in case i might find *that* online, that'd help too. thanks in advance! (i hope i have cause to thank someone!)

perhaps you should search for Kwame Anthony Appiah's essay?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Sunday, 11 April 2004 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

the relevant chapter = "On the postmodern and the postcolonial"

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 11 April 2004 21:23 (twenty-one years ago)

haha geez, i've no idea why i typed his name like that, i've been using it right while searching (i'm just v. harassed at the moment), the article's in "critical inquiry" volume 17, winter 1991, btw (if that helps anyone to help me)

N. - thanks!

― m., Sunday, 11 April 2004 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry - no 'on' in fact

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 11 April 2004 21:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't think it's on the net, a search for ”space clearing gesture” appiah gets commentary but not the original

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 11 April 2004 21:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Do you have access to Project Muse or a similar kind of database? You can get the full text of an article through there.

― Prude (Prude), Sunday, 11 April 2004 22:58 (twenty-one years ago)

no, prude, i don't. i checked through the PM listings just to see, and they don't seem to, uh, subscribe to "critical inquiry" anyway. thanks for the advice though. and gracias once again to N. for the effort.
