Listening to Music - the Seventh Movement
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

Re: Listening to Music - the Seventh Movement
Merged the two new music threads that were continued from the same old one.
"A philosopher is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there. A theologian is the man who finds it." ~ H. L. Mencken
"We ain't a sharp species. We kill each other over arguments about what happens when you die, then fail to see the fucking irony in that."
"It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion."

Re: Listening to Music - the Seventh Movement
Think of it as the seventh bowel movement and be happy. Or whatever it is you do.

Re: Listening to Music - the Seventh Movement
My friends might laugh if they heard me say this, Seabass, but I enjoyed that waltz. It's the sort of thing that I take around in my head with me all day.

A blood waltz!

Re: Listening to Music - the Seventh Movement
We have a lovely radio station that plays mostly classical music. I'm almost welded to it. However, when a waltz, polka or march comes on I reach for my remote control. The only good thing about them is that they are usually quite short. I don't like them. As ever, there are exceptions. One of them is the Valse Triste by Sibelius. Trust the Scandinavians to turn something so upbeat into a vehicle for melancholia.

Re: Listening to Music - the Seventh Movement
Oh, I hated light classical when I was younger. I preferred heavy, somber music like Carmina Burana or Verdi's Requiem. I guess my tastes broadened with age. Nowadays I absolutely love a good polka or waltz.Hermit wrote:We have a lovely radio station that plays mostly classical music. I'm almost welded to it.

Re: Listening to Music - the Seventh Movement
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?
The Silver State. 1894.
