****SCRIPTIVIST

yo dude, join the club! (or you are saying you no longer do that?)


...but seriously, we should hang out again. be on the look-out for free events.

Yeah, I have a different full-time gig starting on Monday. We should. We should. Maybe we could start a fire in our condo association's empty pool.

[littlefallsmets]

But what about Mannheim Steamroller and Trans Siberian Orchestra specifically?

Ah but I consider encouraging Thread Wander to be my sacred duty.

So it is important to stretch the premise as much as possible.

(I think that both of the above, I really love the first few times I hear their Christmas songs in the season and then hate like hell the rest of the way. So it still works.(

[wombat]

I have never heard of Trans Siberian Orchestra. I have heard the name Mannheim Steamroller but I don't know what their music is.

I think perhaps I will leave it that way. I just realized that I am actually scheduled to work TWENTY hours with the Christmas radio station next week, so I have enough problems as it is.

[littlefallsmets]

Maybe this is what made the Grinch so grinchy.

Either that or his parents were mugged and killed in a dark alley after a screening of Zorro.

By Santa Claus.

I first heard of TSO from Snopes. Of course not long after Snopes confirmed this it got turned into a beer ad

[Nabubrush]

It would be better if it was TSOL. I could probably listen to more xmas music by them. Well, until they got all hair metal.

I was going to argue with Wombat and say that people are Wrong if they think that Bing Crosby is Classical music, and then I remembered that there are people out there who think it is stupid and incorrect to say that Bach was a classical composer.

And all of those people are on the internet.

[Doc]

To be fair some of them probably refuse to use the internet. Or watch television. Those ones are probably in universities though.

[wombat]

It is a perfectly common and normal thing for a word to mean different things in different contexts. Bach is a classical composer if you are comparing him to John Lennon and not a classical composer if you are comparing him to Mozart. But Bing Crosby is never a classical act no matter who you are comparing him to. SIGH. Did I mention TWENTY HOURS next week.

Hey, my other favorite Achewood quote!

IT'S ALL, CHING CHONG WING WONG

ahhh the halcyon days

[Doc]

Yeah, I miss Achewood. Ah well.

Just to be clear, I understand this: the dude (professor) who was lecturing about the history of western music did not. Although he seemed resigned to the fact that people were going to keep calling all of it Classical Music, instead of Western Art Music or something like that.
