Mate came round to listen to my speakers . He spent 5 grand on his so he's utterly obsessed with music ....as long as its classical
On Saturday he was trying to get me to listen to the intricacies of a Jacqueline Du Pre string solo
It was dark and clearly incredibly skillfull but Classical music has never interested me at all .
Nor Jazz
Or Blues Jazz or Jazz Blues
That ascent of the lark by Williams is nice but modern rock music in its various forms has always been my thing .
I went to a classical concert at St David's Hall once and I was bored rigid .
Opera , that's a death sentence for me too ✋
I'm with you on opera. I couldn't sit through a whole one.
Classical music, as you put it, is so diverse, it's impossible to pigeon-hole it. In the 20th century it's become more difficult to even define.
Have a try of Penderecki's Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima.
I guarantee people will call it a load of shit without a second thought.
Absolutely, incredibly diverse
My mate is completely immersed in it
He wouldn't consider stuff by the beatles , led zep , Bob marley , stevie wonder to be music
I love metal and heavy rock but like reggae , two tone , some punk , indie , I can even listen to toyah if I am pushed
He just listens to classical , all day , nothing else
I don't mind a bit of classical every now and then but there just seems so much of it. Violin Symphonies and piano concertos in B major, E minor or D. I can't read music not tell the difference between all the different keys and clefs, so alot of it is lost on me.
Melon-twisting.
You must be referring to Crispin. I felt quite uncomfortable that day I called at yours when he turned up. He seemed to deliberately exaggerate his lisp. I thought his habit of speaking when stood with his right hand resting limply at the hip to be more than a little dodgy.
I hope for your sake you were attired in rather more than slippers, vest and codpiece when he rang the doorbell.
He's too modest to say so but Sludge is a better than decent singer. His song selection wouldn't be to many people's taste as most hail from the 60s and 70s. Una Paloma Blanca and Tony Christie's Avenues and Alleyways are among his repertoire.
He'd sound better still if he invested in a better karaoke machine as the microphone isn't much cop.
I'm getting a little concerned about his friendship with Crispin. I was before he appeared when he added Cher's The Shoop Shoop Song (It’s in His Kiss) to his playlist.
Not so much for its really naff lyrics but because he insists on belting it out while wearing cream-coloured leather hotpants.
