i just never understood why there were so many flute players. i also am not a fan of the flute as a musical instrument, in general.
― sarahel, Tuesday, 20 July 2010 21:16 (thirteen years ago) link
just today i enjoyed the flute interlude during "the court of the crimson king" flute is ok but kinda wussy
― ghee hee hee (La Lechera), Tuesday, 20 July 2010 21:21 (thirteen years ago) link
i do like that song - but i'd like that interlude more if played on bassoon or violin ... god flute is wussy!
― sarahel, Tuesday, 20 July 2010 21:23 (thirteen years ago) link
the toy piano (or whatever it is) interlude is the better of the two little quiet interludesi like the flute organ when it's being used in early music-type arrangements, though

clarinet players are the weirdos of the whole band, one of my band teachers once said. I agree with that having been one.
― peacocks, Tuesday, 20 July 2010 21:33 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, but there are almost as many clarinet players as flute players - how can they all be the "weirdos"?
― sarahel, Tuesday, 20 July 2010 21:35 (thirteen years ago) link
i was a clarinet player in grade school and definitely not field hockey typebut the only reason i played the clarinet is because i literally had no other choice. was at the end of the line.
know what i rather like? the recorder.
― ghee hee hee (La Lechera), Tuesday, 20 July 2010 21:39 (thirteen years ago) link
i can play "fire leap" from wicker man on my recorderit's one of my many self-taught skills
(that song is only like 6 notes long but it is a victory nevertheless)

have you ever considered playing bagpipes?

!!! That's a pretty good idea, Amanda.

yes, but they are very expensive i always wanted to pursue drumming because it's like seated dancing that makes awesome noises

I wanted to say "take the drums inside you" but that kind of sounds like drums are making you pregnant, which isn't very encouraging.
― could be a bad day for (Abbott), Tuesday, 20 July 2010 22:40 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't want anything to make me pregnant but that would have been funny nevertheless

I wrote a big rambly post on my blog about being angry all the time, this morning (and how I hate it when men IGNORE YOU when you just want someone to listen, but thats a whole nother thing). And I'm starting to think I need to redirect all my crank into some kind of energetic thing.
Not drums tho, haha. I'm way too uncoordinated :D Bashing away at a bass and hollering into a mic are fun though. Should do it more often. Fuck the neighs.

must have posted about this on ilx before, maybe multiple times, but the summer i was 13 i watched Pretty in Pink every day. that's not hyperbole.

awwwww. I don't even know how many times I must have seen it but damn HS, that's pretty impressive.

Pretty In Pink was always my least favorite of those movies. I went from age 13 and hating how mean she was to ducky and choosing that whine-y a-hole to age 25 and thinking ducky was kind of stalker-y and overly possessive and still hating the whine-y a hole. Also her dress at the end makes me want to puke. Ducky is really cute though.
― peacocks, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 16:38 (thirteen years ago) link
i am the rare viewer of Pretty in Pink who did not have a problem with her not picking Duckie. figured hughes was committed to his across-the-tracks romance and also Duckie read as gay to me.

When I was little I really loved (still do tbh) the OMD song that is played during the prom scene. I wanted it on tape so I held a tape recorder up to the TV when it was on once and taped the whole scene. I know the last 10 mins by heart because I listened to that recording so much.

So when L and I lived in England he tried for a while to find P in P for me on DVD but it hadn't been released in the UK. He finally found it and excitedly ordered it for me and had it delivered to his office as we did with all packages. The day it was delivered he was talking to a bunch of people while opening his mail and they all saw him take Pretty in Pink out of the envelope only it wasn't the P in P we're talking about here. It was a porn that he'd just opened in front of his manager.

thought of this thread yesterday - a male friend referred to the pee style as the "ladyfunnel" - also, going back to something way way upthread, had conversation with another girl about pubescent memories of seeing David Bowie's junk in Labyrinth - this made quite an impression on her, again, I have no memory of this, I only remember the boots. I had such a wholesome upbringing.
