SR VII: It's extreme male brooding!

I honestly think Pallaschtom and Symphonica are much better than the other two. And Symphonica also happens to have Sasaki who played keys for Koenji, as well as female vocals.

Interesting...will look into this, thanks.

Well I got the two classes I arbitrarily decided on, but taking Art History 101 and Philosophy 101 seems kind of gay. But I don't know what else to do...

I keep wanting to tell myself life can only get better from here, but past experience indicates I would be hilariously wrong.

They that make life wonderful also make it awful...women.  I swear, two X chromosomes...that's some serious business right there.

And I'm going to have a daughter in a couple of weeks.

Good for you!  I'm thinking of becoming a Trappist monk- they brew Chimay beer. 

Anyway, I'm genuinely looking forward to the birth of my daughter, but as many other SR denizens know, I am not at all enjoying the circumstances surrounding it.

My day so far has only been shadowed by going again to Modern Music class only to hear my colleague whine about how modern music sounds.

Otherwise, I had piano lesson in the concert hall, and on the grand piano, my Bartok interpretation finally sounded cool.

I expect Anouar Brahem, Masada and a re-listen of Magma to make my evening just as good.

It's pre-89. (second half of the XXth century, so)

And sorry, I meant colleagues. Plural.

No, we're talking people simply irritated by the unprettyness of avant-garde. They find it noise, they find it mess, they find it non-music.

The class is sadly compulsory, so it's me finding it interesting among 50 saying "this is stupid; let's do something else; why can't we listen to Mozart" (but that's hypocrisy, they don't like listening to Mozart either. They don't like anything!!). Sometimes they even come with judgements "oh, I think this is terrible composing", like they're experts on the subjects.

Actually, today was a mix of metabyzantine music and choral regular one. They liked the choral (but they're mostly singers themselves, so duh! yawning or complaining to other types of music ftw), but when music actually stepped out of the lines, and didn't have melodies you could hum, this is an outrage!

But as I've said: I'm the only one interested. The rest just wants the two hours nightmare to end quicker. Or they sabotage it, either complaining, either starting to talk carelessly, so that you can hardly hear the music anymore.

This can sound like "nobody likes it, except me. why? :(((", but it's actually "nobody gives a sh*t, except me."
