As for the Tibetans: i guess some people will only be happy when Tibetans are liberated to live in reservations where they can survive by running casino’s and selling tax-free sigarettes.

Yawn. I’ll be happy to recieve a nice, vicious and absolutely repulsive insult from you, at least it provers you’re able to come up with one.

Yet somehow, snatching a pic from Fugly (or did you take it indirectly from http://welcome.to/mytrailerparkpage? It does look like a habitat you could thrive in) doesn’t do the trick.

Tell you what, i give you the chance to try and insult me again and i’ll tell you if it was good or not. Don’t worry, i still have a number of years left in me so you should be able to think of something. Or you could even try and make some friends and ask if they could help you!

If man is five…

Mixtec,
I don’t like Tchaikovsky because i think it’s all too frivolous, to daft. It gets on my nerves. Bach is absolutely great though, as is Mozart of course (if you skip the Rondo Turca or whatever it’s called). Shostakovich did make some very nice music i think, his depressing Mahler-like stuff is good, while on the other hand i think his ‘official’ compositions (socialist-realistic crap he had to make to please the Party officials) are worth a listen as well. And definately a lot easier for the ears than many truely ‘modern’ composers: Stockhausen or Czukay are terrible with their non-rythmic dissonant experiments…

I think the great thing about Rammstein is that they manage to make heavy industrial music with a hint of irony in it. Kinda hard to explain, but the monotonous riffs and little opera-esque accents in their music perfectly fit the industrial genre, and i think it sets them quite apart from more regular metal bands.

Alastair:
nice to see yet another Pixies fan here!

American taste

Such a lovely couple…

Hope they raise their children in the US.

Thanks for setting the standard. Especially since your PRC-bashing while being a US-apologetic-all-the-way falls under the definition of hypocricy you just set yourself.

Oh, and don’t bother thinking of a reply. I’ll be perfectly happy with an annoying animated gif 😀

Some military music is nice… well, i do have to admit i really like the Soviet Hymn sung by the Red Army Choir. And the East German anthem was nice to – it starts really slow, but in the middle there’s such a nice teutonical social-realistic outburst of Internationalistic Leftism in it, which makes it irresistable.

As for car-window-boom-boom-i’m-an-annoying-brat: yes, when i have something weird on my car stereo (a 1980s cassete player with an anti-theft keycard! A classic!) in my totally wrong car (a Ford Sierra, with extra-annoying Cosworth wheels) i do turn up the volume with my windows open when waiting for a traffic light.
But alas, no R’nB or Hiphop coming through my window… the Soviet Hymn, the Pogues, Rammstein, corny Dutch tearjerking music…

An exception was when looking for a parking spot for a Rammstein concert a year ago. The car (the same Sierra, but it wasn’t mine yet) was an obnoxious noise-polluter, but it’s soooo nice to drive slowly to people visiting a Rammstein concert when your car stereo is playing Mel & Kim 😀

I will try the classical stuff at a downtown summer drive though. Mahler should be good, but i think a bit of Bach’s Brandenburger Concertos or Shostakovich would be equally impressive.
And if not impressive, it would certainly be astranging.

PS: I won’t do the Ouverture 1812. It was fatally destroyed by Gonzo in the Muppet show: the first human cannon ball playing the Ouverture 1812 on a violin… i will never be able to hear that music again without seeing that purple furry hook-beaked bird flying in an Evil Knievel suit…

I also would like to use that freshly registred phrase on those who know very well it concerns them… no disrespect, Steve 😉
