SBT Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Not sure how many here enjoy classical music, however even if you don't, at least watch the beginning of this. This is last school year at UMD School of Music - so creative. One of my fav pieces. Plus, it's always fun to know someone on the stage. One of the cellists is my kids peer. Enjoy! What's not to like about slowly changing harmonies and juxtapositions showcasing strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and piano. Could listen to this all night. Part of a poem by Hart Crane, from my younger days growing-up in Appalachia, that ISTR applies to this piece: "O Appalachian Spring! I gained the ledge; Steep, inaccessible smile that eastward bends. And northward reaches in that violet wedge of Adirondacks!" - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJBerk Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Kept expecting this Copeland to pop up.

ehsnils Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Classical and Death Metal are siblings. Therefore, yes. Not Death Metal, but sure a modern style of classic: Meatloaf, Nightwish, Amaranthe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 My father owned a 2800CS in red when I was a teen... I would sell one of my kids to get that car back in the family now. it was... awesome. Everywhere he parked it, people would leave their business cards on the windshield asking to buy it, or to rent it for some TV or movie production, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkaszynski Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 http://www.bustle.com/articles/39675-high-school-student-tries-to-get-internets-attention-with-yearbook-photo-succeeds Schenectady High School senior Draven Rodriguez, despite his young age, knows a few Serious Life Truths: high school traditions are ridiculous, cats give people the giggles in their hearts, school portraits peaked in the laser-happy early 90s, and if you want to get lots of attention, make up drama where none actually exists. Rodriguez recently started an online petition to beseech his school to allow him to use a photo of him holding his cat against a laser background to be used as his senior portrait. Let me clarify: the school has not told him no yet. There’s not even a good reason to think they will say no, considering the number of bare feet and acoustic guitars that commonly plague senior pictures. I’m impressed with this kid. He’s going viral today for absolutely no reason at all. The school hasn’t told him that he cannot use the photo. They aren’t infringing on whatever rights seniors have to making assholes of themselves in the yearbook. They didn’t kill his cat. There is no scandal. He simply enlisted the most cliché, popular internet flotsam, threw it together in a generically funny (although, admittedly, funny nonetheless) photo, and created a campaign to defend his basic brand of teenage humor against forces that are, thus far, doing literally nothing to thwart him. And the whole internet is all “LOOK AT THIS GUY, WHAT A HERO OF COMEDY AND EXPRESSION! http://lovelace-media.imgix.net/uploads/414/a8cff270-1cb7-0132-7118-0add9426c766.jpg?w=1200&h=1200&fit=max&q=70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 cool to look at but why not make it a car. 3/4 the way there and you have something like an Ariel atom. Because w/ three wheels it's considered a motorcycle, so it doesn't need to pass all of the safety regulations that a car does. 175hp GM motor and the thing weighs 1700lbs. .88g on the skid pad with factory tires.
