For some unknown reason, I've been addicted to the Ninth Symphony for at least a month.

I didn't know there was a message in this music. It always just reminded me of A Clockwork Orange. A disturbing movie, as I recall. Haven't watched it since the first time. hmmm... Kubrick was a genius though, IMHO. Perhaps I should watch it again. I am a bit slow.

Furtwangler's various versions of the 9th are often said to be the greatest of the recorded era.

I've never heard of Furtwangler before. Thank you. :smile:

I posted another version on Facebook this morning, and someone complained; "My fave is the 8th. Who needs all that singing in a symphony?"

I told him to pretend that the singers were programmable meat trumpets.

Which was of course, a joke, based on the short story:

Seven strings are nuffin. - but a theorbo is more of a lute than a guitar.

This one has only 14 strings, but the really big ones go up to about 20.

Regardless of number of strings, Sergei Orekhov was a brilliant composer (or maybe arranger is a more appropriate term).

Wow. Actually that should be posted in Engineering, or General Physiscs. Talk about the equilibrium.

All objects are curved, so their mass center is low, making it all possible. Still, impressive.

Borek, I can't see that video :frown:, it's been blocked for me. My government looking out for my best interests, maybe :mad:?

Here's one that's interesting: a recreation of what the astronauts saw when they took the famous photo, "Earth Rise":

It's not a Youtube so I can't post it directly.

Ditto, kid.

The closest I can come is:

I seem to remember being able to move my legs that fast. Now... um...

Someone find me a chair to sit upon, and I will make my legs dance.

I wonder how many of you thought about buying 8 fans after watching the video.

That's kind of mean.
Artists across the globe are probably giving you and Wurtzel the finger right now.

And no, I will not buy 8 fans. I just watched the video 3 times. That is enough.

(until tomorrow)
