Classical Music, Philosophy, and Zombies

Classical Music, Philosophy, and Zombies My name is David. You may not believe this, but despite popular belief I was born as a baby. It took me approximately 9 months to develop fully enough for my lungs, heart, and brain to operate independently within my mothers womb. At this point I decided enough was enough, it's time to start my life. As I emerged from my mothers vagina I remember thinking, "What is this place?" "Who are all these people wearing brightly colored loose clothing?" They wrapped me up in a towel and immediately began to wash off the afterbirth that I had become very close too in the previous nine months. I was sad to see it go, but I knew it was for the best, it was time to move on. I quickly became infatuated with the music of Beethoven, the philosophical ideas of Frederick Nietzsche, and was overcome by the worries and stress of knowing the future devastation caused by the worlds main enemy... the Zombie.

21 years later, I've developed this blog dedicated to my own personal holy trinity, Classical Music, Philosophy, and Zombies.

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 clarinet sounds fiendishly difficult but also bizarrely cool.

I want to play that string quartet. It’s so fucking badass.

I want to play 4:33 for my junior recital, but I doubt my professor will be down for it….
