12 Universal Truths
1) Triangular sandwiches taste better than square ones. 2) You’re never quite sure whether it’s against the law or not to have a fire in your back garden. 3) Nobody ever dares make cup-a-soup in a bowl. 4) Rummaging in an overgrown garden will always turn up a bouncy ball. 5) The smaller the monkey the more it looks like it would kill you at the first given opportunity. 6) Its...

The man named Guy M. Duker is a jack ass...
You probably have no idea who Guy M. Duker is, but trust me, he’s a jack ass.
He is the man who transcribed Paul Hindemith’s Mathis Der Maler for Wind Band. I’ll admit, that it’s a pretty good transcription and follows the original very well. But my problem with it is, it never should have been done!
I am a bit of a music purist, some may think that’s a bad thing,...

I LOVE this movement. Beethoven, you were a bamf.
Amen.
What's your favorite symphony?
thisisacelliststumblr:
Piano concerto? Cello concerto? Violin concerto? String Quartet? Piano Quintet? Sonata?
Mine are: Shostakovich Symphony No. 5, Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2, Elgar Cello Concerto in e (Though I think the Dvorak cello concerto is a superior piece of music), Barber Violin Concerto, Grieg String quartet in g, Brahms Piano Quintet, and Rachmaninov sonata for cello...
What instrument do you play?
thisisacelliststumblr:
And why do you play it? Do you play it because you love it, or because you’re told to?
I play trumpet. I picked trumpet because my dad had one in the attic and it was free.
My favorite things....

in the middle of the night to everyone who’s sleeping because they all suck?
That sounds like their problem… They shouldn’t expect to sleep when there is still music to be played.

Why do people dislike John Cage so much?
i ask myself the same question about a lot of modern composers. I actually like a lot of his prepared piano stuff. It sounds fuckin cool.
I’m a fan of his other stuff, too — not just the wacky things, but his string quartet is pretty neat. His sonata for...

A Sceptical Credo
I found this to be interesting. Not sure I buy it all, but it’s as with most of this philosophical stuff, it’s fun to think about.
I stumbled on this, what seems to be some sort of college project, or something way back from ‘97 by what I can only guess is philosophy student Ronald Sousa (I wonder if there’s any relation to John Phillip Sousa?) Any ways, it’s in a...

The best banana split ever...
So when I ordered my banana split a little while ago, the girl asked me if I was ok with the typical chocolate/pineapple/strawberry combo. I never knew I had this option of changing this before… So I got pineapple/pineapple/pineapple.
I’m very satisfied with my desicion.

Turns out it was a e-mail from Tilly’s telling me to get a new backpack. >:(
Oh no… Don’t shop at Tilly’s… I worked there, it’s a terribly aweful place. Plus you can get the same stuff they sell at Target for about 70% less money.
