when i was 18, the whole reason i stayed in college was because i got to check classical music videos out from the library and watch them in the common room by myself while losers in sweatpants screamed at me. admittedly, i was strange, but my intentions were valiant: being passionate about something is always about giving back and taking heat from people while appearing as if it is effortless.

i don't think its possible to top the devotion of bach's absolute music; music for music's sake. thirty variations on a theme, pure counterpoint, crazy rivers of sound drawn as lines without lyrics, clothes, haircuts, electricity or time wise.

the idea as i understand it was that programatic music told a story, sacred music was written to the glory of god, and absolute music was written to the glory of music. it always seemed like the fact that music even existed was enough to inspire devotion regardless of a meaning, an answer, a future or past; and that pursuit has always been admirable to me.

its not about you tube, but if i had been able to see something this amazing growing up, there might have been no reason to go to college in the first place.

i don't recommend not going or going to college, i recommend listening to bach, and i recommend watching gould's hands.

if i had a car, i would paint polka dots all over it.
if i had a car, i would sit on top of it and sing the blues.
if i had a car, i would wear a giant wig and play organ on my polka dot roof.

if i had a car, i would park it by my shack, paint polka dots on it, don a giant wig, lug a organ up on to the roof, then kick the organ over after smashing it with my chair.

Youtube Video of the day.

Eddie Cochran performing Chuch Berry's School Days live in 1959. The vocals don't show up till about 40 seconds in. The guitar solo is perfectly composed, and without the vocals in the beginning, it's easier to notice how completely Eddie is driving the band with his guitar playing. You could learn how to play drums just by watching Eddie's right hand strum.

DRRRRRRRROP THE COIN RIGHT INTO THE SLOT!!!!

enjoy your weekend
