i’ve got two music degrees that say you’re wrong
some guys drink and argue about sports. other guys drink and go and and on about the female form. me, i get drunk and take an offhand question about game & film scores as an invitation to corner the questioner and belligerently berate him about how Varèse doesn’t get the credit he’s due as a influence on contemporary film scoring, and – listen damn you! – Webern was *clearly* the purest – and therefore the most significant – member of the Second Viennese School (buuRRRPPP!)…oh to hell with you anyway whaddooyoo know about music ya damn…(stumble, crash)…
moral of the story is: if you see me holding a can of natty boh at 1am on a school night, steer the discussion towards sports or chicks. i’ll have nothing to contribute to the conversation and everybody will be better off.
