What's on your mind now?

[m1469]

Tomatillos, why you treat me so gooood ... hm?  mmm hhmmmm.

[oxy60]

You seem to know quite a lot more of us than the average American

I guess this was some time ago...? I wonder if you have some stories about him we could sell to tabloids 

I am not the typical prying American that can only ask questions. Over the years I've learned that don't ask, don't tell means a lot more. Do you know where "X" is these days? Of course I know but I'm not telling.

Yes, it was some time ago. One of his frigates was tied up blocking our view of the harbor. 

One of my wishes was that my mother had kept her Norwegian going and taught me.

Now that your dailies have become tabloids what has become of the old tabloids? They're making stuff up. I guess that is what the readers want.

You never gave me the year, so I have no idea who X is

Well, to be honest we still don't have the kind of tabloids you see in some countries...the "UFO ate my mother" kind... Just a couple of stupid magazines with celebrity gossip...

I would not want "to be one" with a tiger.

well ive been playing bach and scales because my friend recommended it, and then i fell off a basketball ring and injured my ankle and then a week later someone side swiped my car - so i couldn't drive it for a while and hence now on a lot of painkillers, but its probably my own fault for playing bach and scales. my god they are so boring, dull, lifeless, bland, lackluster, dreary, zzzz, tiresome, wearisome - a chore to play.  how can anyone recommend them.
I don't think people who've become adept ever played them, it's just like an in-joke to all the beginners. Sure, his harder pieces are riveting, but the magdalena notebook, just ugh, awful, absolutely awful music. but i have ravel's prelude to keep me sane, and slowly, excruciatingly, through lizsts transcription of 5th symphony, which, i think, my housemate is trying to tell me something by constantly putting waltzes and nocturnes over the top of my sheet music.

im also witness to the biggest bunch of inane university students ever (well not all of them). playing some games that i'd be hard pressed to call masculine or have any semblance with the word olympics, especially in the greek sense. handball? that's not a sport. i was asked to watch some clips of it, but rather would falsely admit to viewing porn than be seen watching handball. and 'extreme' frisbee? bit of an exaggeration calling your overtly sissy sport it xtreme. i wonder if dogs compete in it. unless they skeet the frisbee.. and have to dodge the shrapnel. and the possibly of playing on a minefield. (they did explain frisbee was patented but i chose to ignore it). doesn't say a lot about their intentions to win - when they've just asked people from the athletics squad to come fill in having never played a game. and touch football? well they got to hear playing of the divinyls i touch myself. It's the biggest excuse to drink i've witnessed, surprised there isn't sports like boat races, or beer pong in this thing.

[m1469]

haha ... OoooKKKkkkaaaaayyyy!  Thanks for the laugh  .  Well, I mean regarding sports, not the first stuff (especially you hurting yourself)!  Chords and scales are what music is made of!  I didn't used to think I liked the AMB, but there are definitely some in there that I like a lot!

Now, I just have to say that Mozart has saved the day, once again!  Thank you, Mozart, thank you, thank you, thank you!  I nearly met Mozart, did you know?  But, I went there hundreds of years later than him, and therefore missed him by just a hair  .  When do I go back, OK?  Just a bit ago, I had to imagine myself sitting inside of Stephansdom.  What would my life be without Stephansdom?  Viva la piano, Viva la Mozart, Viva la Stephansdom!

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Got a Calc quiz tomorrow.

Gonna fail that soo freaking hard!

Not because I don't know all the material; I know it all fine.

It's just that when I take tests...  Bad things happen...


No but yeah, it's so freaking ugly!  the last test we had, we had freaking two review sheets and the copy of last years test; I did them all no problem!  But when it was test day...  66% what the freaking heck!  I know all of this stuff!  Then when I review the answers that I put in there I realized how stupid I was!  What the freaking heck is going on here?!  And that's not the only test either.  This happens with ALL of my math tests!  I know all the stuff like the back of my hand, but when it comes test day, I forget everything! 

This is so ugly dude...

[unholeee]

lies lies such lies, i wont ffffffffall for it. i wish there was an AMRavel then i would play the hell out of it. I just heard sonatine II - back to the end of the line AMB and scales!

[Bob]

What's AMB and AMRavel?

[m1469]

lies lies such lies, i wont ffffffffall for it.

No, it's real, OK?  

*Pulls up the AMB*

I like 'em.

What's AMB and AMRavel?

Anna Magdelena Buchlein.  AMRavel doesn't exist, as far as I know  .

[Bob]

*Pulls up the AMB*

I like 'em.

Put that on the cover to sell more copies.  

[m1469]

haha ... *awesomeness*

There are books about taking tests and I've even seen some courses.

Don't suffer like this! It can be beat, just like stage fright.

What's on my mind right now? My first AP Government exam is tomorrow. D:

Also...I'm going to be getting my driver's license soon!

[williampiano]

The other night a pencil got stuck in my piano accidentally and I can't seem to get it out.

Now I'm going to have to halt practicing until I can get the tuner to get it out. 

[Bob]

The cover and everything can't come off to get at it?  Or poke it with a stick?

[williampiano]

The cover and everything can't come off to get at it?  Or poke it with a stick?

Nah, it rolled down so far I can't reach it or anything.
My piano tuner is coming soon, so I think he'll be able to figure out how to get it. Until then though, I have to avoid playing a few keys, because I can always hear the pencil clacking against something when I play them. 

Edit: Thankfully I've found another piano I can practice on until then!

[Bob]

There's a three-headed dog lost in the clouds somewhere.

And what goes up must come down. 

And you know how much one dog eats.  Imagine three.  Keep your mouth closed if you look up in the sky today for sure.


*Bob contemplates the possibility that someone will first visit the site and click on this thread first, that that will be their first introduction to Piano Street.*

[littletune]

DigGis is trying to shake down littletune for some copyright infringement money?  (Kidding)

Or maybe someone wants royalities on the whatever piece of music they think that bird is whistling.  (Also joking, but it's possible that a computer program found some fragment similar to another piece.)


I think groups go around claiming copyright infringement on lots of videos without any reason.  I just saw an article about that a week or so ago.  It's not uncommon.

Unless it's the John Cage Foundation....  There is a lot of use of silence in that video.

I wouldn't be surprised if a program picked up a similarity between the bird whistling and an actual piece of music.  That's probably the level that kind of software is at.

The five note rule still applies. You can't claim infringement until the fifth note that is the same. Under EU rules do the birds own their creative product?

I can see it now: The Bird Trust, Littletune, Trustee.

  
I have no idea if the birds own their creative product... but they should!!! 
Well now it seems like everything is ok with that video (it doesn't say "matched third party content" (or something like that) anymore).

A friend's bird could whistle real tunes that it learned from its owner. However it could never whistle twice exactly the same. There were always variations in note length.

[m1469]

My mind HATES being put in a box but LOVES structure, design, and color!

[Bob]

Monkey bars?

[m1469]

Monkey bars?

YES!!!!!!  and swings!  swings!

[Bob]

Swings don't provide structure. 

[m1469]

Yes they do  .  There are active principles  .

[Bob]

Back and forth, back and forth, up and down, up and down (BA select start )...

But you never go anywhere.  There are highs and lows.  You have to keep kicking your feet.  If you don't, you end up in the lowest low spot.  Although it's easy to get off there.  If you get off on the high spot, you might do a spectacular face plant and get hit in the head when the swing comes back around.

Always chained to that central axis point too. 


Actually for monkey bars, I was thinking a monkey bar structure.  Climbable, but you also move through it if you want. 


Now the Grimace.. "thing."  That's where it's at. 



Just stand in there and shake the bars around I guess.    Then pretend you're an alien and emerg from its belly.   

[Bob]

Contemplating the appropriateness of a shapeless purple blob as a fast food mascot.  Maybe it's Barney's out-of-shape brother?  Something for customers to strive for if they keep eating there?  Sheer laziness on the mascot creator's part?  "What?  Another mascot?  Ok... How about a purple.. roundish.... thing, with a smile?"

[Bob]

More of them.

They look like they are waiting for someone to toss them some food...
