Thelonious Monk

me and my private (tuba) teacher are compiling a list of composers than produced some great low brass music in their lifetimes. so far i've just got the basics: Barber - All Symphonies, School For Scandal, Essays Bartok - Concerto For Orchestra, The Miraculous Mandarine Beethoven - Symphonies 5 and 9 Berlioz - Symphony Fantastique, Hungarian March, Roman Carnival Overture Bernstein - West Side Story, Candide, On The Town Brahms - All Symphonies Bruckner - All Symphonies Copland - Fanfare For The Common Man, Symphony #3, Rodeo, El Salon Meixoc Debussy - Nocturnes, La Mer Dvorak - Symphonies #7, #8 and #9 Gershwin - Rhapsody In Blue, American In Paris Hindemith - Symphonic Metamorphises, Mathis Der Mahler Holst - The Planets Kodaly - Hary Janos Suite, Peacock Variations Mahler - All Symphonies, excluding #4 Mendelssohn - Symphony #4 Mozart - Requiem, Magic Flute Mussorgsky - Pictures At An Exhibition, Night On Bald Mountain Nielson - All Symphonies Prokofiev - All Symphonies, Romeo and Juliet, Lt. Kije Rachmoninoff - All Symphonies Ravel - Bolero, La Valse, Rhapsodie Espagnole, Daphnis Et Chloe Respighi - Pines Of Rome, Church Windows, Fountains Of Rome, Roman Festival Rimsky-Korsakov - All Symphonies, Sheherazade, Russian Easter Overture Rossini - La Gazza Ladra, William Tell Saint-Saens - Symphony #3 Schubert - Symphonies #5, #8 and #9 Shostakovich - All Symphonies, especially #1, #5 and #7 Sibelius - All Symphonies (especially #2), Finlandia R. Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra, Don Juan, Don Quixote, Ein Heldenleiben, Alpine Symphony, Till Eulenspiegal, Elektra, Salome, Der Rosenkavalier Stravinsky - Rite Of Spring, Petrouchka, The Firebird Tchaikovsky - All Symphonies, especially #4, #5 and #6 Verdi - Othello, La Forza Del Desiton, Aida, Requiem Wagner - Ride Of The Valkyries, Tannhauser, Lohengrin, Das Rheingold, Gotterdamerung, All Overtures no help from him yet. obviously doesn't have to be a tuba concerto or trombone solo, just anything with great, prominent low brass. admittedly some of the stuff from this list i haven't heard yet.

you have to be kidding me... this album and the last one are a fucking joke compared to Scenes From A Memory, A Change Of Seasons and Train Of Thought. those three albums were actually really fucking good, the others were "ok", and these last two were utter crap imo.

the usps topic?

this statement does not help my wallet. i fucking love my k501 and hate the k701. i need to hear a pair of k1000s...

billy corgan and jimmy chamberlin. nobody else from the original band. edit: i really really don't like the vocals on this song so far.

i am interested but the link is broken.

dumb broad.

hey, i was born at cornell. that is why it's so awesome.

they are clearly brothers. he even has living voice avatar speakers, which iirc aerius lusts after. i think we should invite him

i will more than likely end up with the tried and true ls3/5a design as my small bookshelf speaker eventually. have you heard any other ls3/5as? how does that one stand up too the more popular models?

i think we both read eachother wrong. i'll just search head-fi, i am sure the local overzealous objectivists have the links i am looking for, and not derail the topic anymore

if you've got a gripe, post it. personally i am not going to be overly verbose in that topic, since i will probably get banned if i am, because i'm on thin thin ice there.

no, it doesn't include the ipod. i bet it includes the required cable though. hopefully there will be a less pricey way to get the cable, no way in hell i am going to pay almost $200 for a few inches of cable. maybe $200 for a meter, but for fucks sake, a few inches? and i'm not just senselessly bashing. i owned the jumbo cryo. ;D ;D

arguing is presenting reasons for or against an idea. you were defending it. i was not naysaying, just asking a question; i don't disagree with the "if it sounds better i will take it, fuck numbers" philosophy but not in the context i was talking about. i was talking about a very specific specification of a complex piece of machinery, and you're referring to the overall sound. comparing different dacs and coming to the conclusion that dac a is better than dac b because it has lower jitter is somewhat illogical. if you came to your conclusion differently (creating more jitter somehow?) then nevermind.

woah there, tex, let's start with shirtless before we go all the way.

i predicted it.

isn't that argument sort of pointless if you're comparing different dacs? adds in a whole lot more variables as far as sound goes.

anyone have links to anything that proves jitter as diminutive as a few hundred picoseconds can really effect sound at all? i can understand nanoseconds but picoseconds are like really really small. imagine this except smaller. any ramblings are appreciated, although peer reviewed stuff is appreciated more. edit: for any blind people, that was a single pixel.

28 months later has been announced.

i wish the naming of the movies wasn't so corny. 28 days later was fine. 28 weeks later ok. 28 months later? stop it. if there is a 28 years later i will be mad.

actually postjack, you reminded me of something: my morning jacket is playing at a local record store soon. i can go for free and get really close to the band.

white stripes. definitely not horrible but mmj is just in another league

1. you must have been living under a rock the last decade 2. mentioning the white stripes in the same sentence as my morning jacket is a sin

great looking transport. clean build as always, n_maher.

jesus was black.
