Nutcase nadin Kicks Off A Culture Contest

[GOBUCKS]

This thread just struck me as funny.

Nutcase nadin, who is about as cultured as a dog tick, tries to brag about her refinement.

It prompts a competition among DUmpmonkeys to see who is the most sophisticated:

Okay. Here comes the one-up:

1. Agreed, one of my favorites, too.

Got to hear it by the London Philharmonic Orchestra when I was living there, conducted by Klaus Tennstedt.

No way. A rare "three-up":

3. Ah, Klaus Tennstedt.

Beethoven was seldom in better hands than Tennstedt's or Carlos Kleiber's. Bruno Walter, as well, IMO.

Unfortunately Kleiber and Tennstedt had small repertoires and recorded so little because they demanded a zillion rehearsals, costing a fortune and drove the players to distraction.

But what magnificent results.

Even the CalPig, who thinks her own pornographic poetry is artful, chimes in:

2. Just wonderful! Thank you, my dear nadin...

Actually, it's an excerpt. But I'm quibbling.

All we're missing is that dimwit bragging about his white dinner jacket.

[freedumb2003b]

As great as it is, Beethoven's 9th is the iHop of classical music. It is everywhere and pretty much a classical music punchline (anyone remember PDQ Bach?)

Now, das lied von der erde OTOH.

Since when has nadin ever started a thread and then not come back to make it even more about herself? Must have had to run real quick to cover the beat.

not much to do with anything, just got reminded of this:

Be patient.

I'm pretty confident she'll eventually turn this Beethoven thread into a knockdown-drag out brawl.

It's what she does.

Well, tough shit for nadin.

As some of you know, to help boost this morale, friends in the music business have been working on a bunch of different gadgets so as to enable me to "hear" music, mostly through bone conduction of sound.

This is something that's been going on for years, decades, people trying to figure out how to make it so franksolich can "hear."

Two weeks ago, some sort of breakthrough was accomplished--it's still pretty weak and gives me headaches, but it's the best I've "heard" music in my whole entire life.

And franksolich has now acquired instant culture.

I can't get enough of this refined culture; so far, I've downloaded 37 different youtube versions of Mozart's 12 Variations, and I'm hoping to collect them all, however many there are.

Isn`t Beethoven's 9th the one most famously talked about by Schroeder in the Peanuts cartoons?
Guessing this is where the crazy bald freak heard of it.

Yeah, the Ninth is the one everybody knows about.

It takes special refinement and elevated culture to know about Mozart's 12 Variations, though.

I always thought it was Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.

[BattleHymn]

I don't much care for classical music, but  all those names look like the names of artists who are WHITE MALES. 

What do the primitives have against some nice jazz?  One gets the feeling that BMDM (black music doesn't matter) to the primitives.

Racists.

I suggest to cousin nadin that this one's well worth the listen:

Are you able to "hear" certain instruments, and not others?  I was going to ask about the human voice in song, but you've already answered that with this video.

While we're immersed in refinement here, how about some poetry?

Original message
My newest poem....**Caution! Erotic content!**

 
Such strength   

The masculine facade

Sharp flashing eyes

Tender fingers and tongue


The man dominates me.

His body, his mind

Overcome me.


He strokes, and licks, and drinks me.

And then he enters


I open and yield myself

I surrender to his strength, his passion.

My mind is overcome with what I cannot tell...


But it’s wrong


I dominate him.

For at the last–who yields?


At the peak of passion

He empties the aching seed

Into me...

I've been reading too much CC. When I initially read the above I read it as my "dear COUSIN nadin."

And GOBUCKS is evil.

Well, someone had to do it.  It was just more a matter of who the task fell to.

13. Spontaneous music is wonderful.

However, I think this one was staged. Nevertheless, good shit.

My best to you, Nadine, for this post.

As Duke Ellington said, "If the music sounds good, it is good."

R&K

This primitive invokes the words of a person of color in a poorly veiled attempt at adding some diversity to the thread.   

[Mr Mannn]

This thread just struck me as funny.

Nutcase nadin, who is about as cultured as a dog tick, tries to brag about her refinement.

Oh yeah. She love to appear a member of the elite. I remember crossing swords with her on DI when she claimed to have narrowly missed membership in the Mexico Olympic Fencing team. She was turned down because of a bad knee that plagues her to this day. Her next breath was st say she followed that up by becoming a champion mountain climber..with a bad knee.

Sweet nads was offended that I couldn't believe her. 

But that is it, she claims to be the elite of Mexico, why she left such a macical fairyland I will never know...over there bad knees are a sign of RESPECT

[USA4ME]

... she claims to be the elite of Mexico,...

Oh, she does? Well, there's a few ways to prove that. She needs to demonstrate how good she is at harvesting produce, or laying sod, or maybe mowing, weeding, and otherwise keeping up the landscaping in my yard.

She can prove herself there, then she might be able to lay partial claim to the title of "Elite of Mexico."

She claims to make a mean chilli relleno.

Nuffing like a bit of the old Ludwig Van to get the vino pumping in the old golova, I always sez.  Real horroshaw-like.
