Caught a great student (I assume, at least) performance of Reich's Come Out and Music for 18 Musicians as well as back to back performances of Léonin and Pérotin's versions of Virudent Omnes. Good enough size for a concert hall, but also more intimate than normal despite every seat in the venue being taken. Had a seat slightly above the stage and right in center which was dope as ****. For Come Out, they turned out the lights and played it. They panned the tapes using speakers on each side of the room which made the distinction in the phase more noticeable than when I listen to it at home. I didn't expect it to be anywhere near as disconcerting as it was, I honestly thought I might get bored by that one because a lack of performer involvement, but I was blown away. The Léonin/Perótin performance was with 4 male vocalists, a vielle, and bells. Their lead lacked confidence or had poor voice control or something in a noticeable way, so ironically my favourite part of these pieces known for polyphony were the parts where they were singing in unison. The Music for 18 Musicians performance was bold and hypnotic and mind blowing, which is to be expected. They used keyboards instead of pianos and I definitely counted 20 musicians playing at one point, but I can let that slide because of the stunning performance. I guess.

Grandstand - Stand - Sit

If it's not your sit, you should probably stand down.

I grew up without a dad and missed out on all of that good father-son stuff, so I'm gonna make as many good memories with my son as possible.

All of your bullshit aside, this is truer than you know.

Of course, everyone goes into marriage thinking that it will be perfect and last forever.

The perfect kid is the one that was never born.
What if YOUR parents would have thought this way?

What a horrible, mean, hurtful thing to say.

I was going to reply with a mean remark, but it's not going to change anything. I'm very disappointed in you.

I doubt that he'd care. Hard to when you don't exist.

I literally wear an inverted cross, braid my hair and listen to Marilyn Manson and you sound like a cringey hot topic teen to me with this.

I'd argue that it's just as arrogant to deny something the chance to live.

I'd agree but it seems like merit's kid actually likes his dad.


Sounds more like you and Bat are projecting your own life experiences on everybody else.

An arrogance that only affects those who don't exist. Horrific.

Except when you start ranting about it to shame people that want kids because you can't handle the idea that not everybody is as miserable as music banter.

You think that recognizing the impact of a decision that traditionally uses genital-based reasoning is on par with shaming?

No, but misrepresenting the dialogue doesn't give you a valid point.

It has nothing to do with my own misery. It's about preventing the misery of others.
