1. Whenever you say something mean, a bird dies.

:popcorn:

[XemaSab]

8. I wasn't being mean

I was just being honest.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. There goes another bird.

:popcorn:

[XemaSab]

19. What kind, genius?

Or should I say, genius-with-no-musical-taste-whatsoever?

:P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

23. A baby hummingbird.

:evilgrin:

[XemaSab]

25. Hatched out in March?

Nature is cruel, my friend, nature is cruel.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. You're not a birdwatcher!

You just watch them die! :popcorn:

[XemaSab]

27. All the while shoveling popcorn into my gaping maw

:cry:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

28. You can't eat away your guilt!

:popcorn:

[XemaSab]

30. Why should I feel guilty?

You're the one with the shitty taste in music. :P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

32. And to think I applied to be your online boyfriend!

:D

[XemaSab]

35. Through strict aversion therapy

I will train any man of mine to *loathe* anything I deem impure.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

38. Then make a decision already!

:popcorn:

[XemaSab]

40. I'm not picky, I just have high standards

:shrug:

[LSK]

2. you have to admit that era from 1872-1875 rocked thou

:popcorn:

[XemaSab]

4. I call bullshit!

A bunch of washed up hacks dry-humping each other and calling it Art?

I think not.

[slybacon9]

3. WTF do you have against the 1860's?

civil war music? hello, the music that changed a nation?

[XemaSab]

5. Yeah, right

The music that a few generations later led to endless whining variations of "My dog died and my wife ran off with my pickup truck so I'm going to drink a fifth of cheap liquor at a single sitting?"

Hardly. :eyes:

[DanCa]

6. Dont dis Lead Belly man Don't dis Lead Belly :D )

[XemaSab]

7. Meh, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

That wastrel managed to get a few decent tunes, but the bulk of his work is decadent and contrary to the will of the people.

[DanCa]

11. Well give me my props at least I knew who Lead Belly was :D

Stephen Foster cool Beautiful Dreamer was the first song I learned on the harp. Although I had an easier time with Bill Bailey. Foster also did Frankie and Johnnie correct?

[XemaSab]

12. Sure...

:D

[leftofthedial]

double

whammylicious

[leftofthedial]

9. 1837

idiot!

:-)

[XemaSab]

10. What about it?

:shrug:

[leftofthedial]

14. Mendelssohn's String Quartet #4 in E minor

was written in 1837, you imbecile!

If I had my baton, I'd, I'd, I'd . . .

well, you'd never make that mistake again, let me tell you.

[XemaSab]

20. Hence, all music written after 1840

I was merely inquiring as to which of the noble compositions of 1837 you were referring.

[leftofthedial]

22. oh

yeah

:blush:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

13. Except 1980's music ..........

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[DanCa]

15. Except Sun Records 1956 - 1960?

Jerry Lee Lewis Elvis Presley Johnny Cash Roy Oberson, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins , and I think Buddy Holly. Not sure if Holly was part of the Sun Crew

[XemaSab]

21. Hardly

A bunch of lemurs banging on pots and pans does not constitute music, IMHO.

[DanCa]

29. Hmm I think I would like to see Lemurs banging on pots.

At least they would sound better than Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears. :D

[XemaSab]

33. My point exactly

They belong in the 9th circle of Suck.

[DanCa]

34. Hmm what hell level would Bruce Willis be on?

They say the worst spot in hell is reserved for Judas. Of course that was before Willis began to eek out songs.

[XemaSab]

36. Alls I know is that the worst spot HAS to be occupied by

Paul Simon.

It just doesn't get any worse.

[DanCa]

39. American Idol "winners"

If paul simon is the rock, than American Idol winners are the squishy slimey bugs that make you say ick when you pick up the rock.

[XemaSab]

41. I couldn't have put it better myself

Though Paul Simon isn't just any rock, he's like asbestos, cinnabar, and pitchblende together, all in one unholy, carcinogenic, amorphous MASS.

[XemaSab]

17. The 1980's were when the corpse of American music

finally collapsed and disintegrated into dust.

[Katherine Brengle]

18. 1886 was THE year for the 19th century music industry. Duh.

:rofl:

[XemaSab]

24. The so-called 19th century "music" "industry"

has little to do with Fine Art.

[DanCa]

31. Here's a thought when I play the harmonica

I suck and blow at the same time :D

[XemaSab]

37. And there you have it

The harmonica was invented in the 1820's, and in under 20 years music was totally nonfunctional as an art form.

[billyskank]

42. Dude

:hi:

Nothing worse than all that manufactured shit of the 1870s... x(

[XemaSab]

43. Hey billy

You're a man of taste and good judgement, right?

[billyskank]

44. I think so

I like you, don't I? :D

[XemaSab]

46. That's a winning answer if I ever saw one

:D

[XemaSab]

70. .

:loveya:

[billyskank]

72. !!!

:loveya: :loveya:

[HEyHEY]

45. Except buddy holly

[XemaSab]

47. "Buddy" is a dog's name. "Holly" is a girl's name.

I rest my case.

[HEyHEY]

48. You're a girl's name

[XemaSab]

49. I *am* a girl

[tjwmason]

50. You obviously haven't heard any Pierre Boulez or Luciano Berio.

Music written after 1750 mostly sucks until about 1910. :P

[XemaSab]

51. Salve, mason!

Qvid agis hodie?

[tjwmason]

52. All's most jolly here.

But the bitchiness is flowing freely in the office...to be expected for a Monday morning.

[XemaSab]

53. Ah yes

The cask of bitchy overfloweth...

I'm sure you're an island of sanity in a sea of chaos, an oasis of repose in a desert of frenzied action...

[tjwmason]

54. You mean I'm dozing off whilst they all work?

I'm at least as bitchy as they. :D

I am, however, listening to music from before 1840.

[XemaSab]

55. What are you listening to?

:bounce:

You're bitchy? I don't believe it for a second! x(

[tjwmason]

56. Officium defunctorum - Tomas Luis de Victoria.

Which is a Requiem Mass, with a few other bits of the funeral service added.

One of the true master-pieces of the high renaissance. :bounce:

[XemaSab]

58. Excellent!

I'm personally partial to Italian Baroque, but the earlier stuff is fun as well.

Do you play an instrument, or are you just a fan?

[tjwmason]

60. Mostly a fan.

But that's more due to my indolence as far as practicing when I was younger than anything else. :eyes:

[XemaSab]

62. And what did you play?

I used to sing, and I considered a career in opera until my voice teacher told me I had to stop listening to anything *but* classical because I was picking up bad habits. :P

[tjwmason]

64. At various times

I've played - piano, violin, viola, treble recorder.

If I could play one instrument to top-notch standards I'd pick the organ, and devote myself to the 20th century French school. :D

[XemaSab]

65. I'm trying to decide if there's a bold sexual innuendo in your post

:shrug:

[tjwmason]

66. For once

There was none - quite shocking really.

I'm just wondering which part was supposed to be innuendo :shrug:

[XemaSab]

67. Can it be?

Tell me I don't have a filthier imagination than you do! :o

[Robeson]

57. huh... huh-huh...huh.... you said.. "sucks hard" ...

...huh-huh-huh....

[XemaSab]

59. Which I'm sure you would know all about

:o











































:P

[Robeson]

61. What can I say.....

...:shrug:

I'm easy...:rofl:

[XemaSab]

63. You're not telling me anything

the rest of the lounge hasn't already. :P

[Robeson]

68. Are you saying I'm that transparent? Wait, wait......

...don't answer that question.....

:yoiks:

[XemaSab]

69. I won't

[swimboy]

71. You've forgotten Paul Hindemith.

Surely.

[Aristus]

73. The 1930's gave us Barber's Adagio For Strings,

and Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, so I'd have to disagree with you there. B-)

[IntravenousDemilo]

74. It's very possible that Prokofiev was the only artistic genius produced in

the 20th century, in music or any other art form. We have had no Beethovens, no Dickenses, no Rembrandts, no Hugos, no Michelangelos, no Shakespeares...

Discuss.
