Oh- I love dead composers, I'm just not a big Tchaikovsky fan. 1812 is nice, but waaaaaaaaaaaay overplayed. It's like no one else ever wrote something dramatic.

To me sunrise is more Bruckner's Symphony #4. Nice build, dramatic but with soft interludes. Love this symphony- however, it's not the playa at all. It may be Yggy's hof, but it's definitely not the playa

(Yggy's hof might actually be more "Finlandia" by Sibelius)

I'm with Eric here. Classical music is wonderful. I"m pretty much talking about the "old chestnuts" here and not the stuff you need to have a lot of musical knowledge in order to enjoy. A symphony can go from a little flute or violin solo and build up to a cresendo with brass blaring and timpani booming in ways that are so right and so beautiful. You might be throwing out a lot of baby with that bathwater.

*heading to youtube these suggestions*

speaking of said Hof.

I'm not so cultured.......but, I do love Wagner...........

I love this Symphony. It just feels like the Far North, rolling drama and quiet beauty. Awww, I'm getting mushy over music.

by **ygmir** » Thu Dec 23, 2010 6:06 pm

that is awesome, Eric, thanks.
This is where, my lack of culture and higher education kick in. I've not been exposed to much classical.
Well, if you come up to a camp out, at the Hof this summer, lets set up some speakers and play it.......it'd be nice.

I got to hear MTT and the San Francisco Symphony do the violin concerto a couple of years ago. Good stuff.

I was lucky- my dad loves classical music & pre-60's jazz (especially dixieland), so I was exposed to it early on. My older brother had no interest, but I loved it & made my dad take me to concerts & the symphony & Jazz in the Park when I was 8-9-10 years old.

Luckily I have a hubby that loves it as much as me so we have a lot of classical around the house.

Don't worry- I'm already hoping to make a Hof visit with a friend of mine this summer- we'll bring some fine liquors & a lovely classical selection and watch the clouds roll by with you!

I have a lot of dixieland.

I was at the founding meeting of the Memphis Jass and Blues Club too.

In '97 a friend of mine played Caruso 78s on a wind-up Victrola, early in the week before all the ravefucks showed up.

Then all the ravefucks showed up.

Alessandro Moreschi (the only recorded true castrato) [Wikipedia]

After the Catholic Church ensured that all nations banned the practise, Pope Leo XIII took the remaining Castrati into the care of the Sistine Chapel Choir to guarantee them a quiet life (at the time they had become the subject of ridicule). Moreschi is the only castrato to be recorded solo. In this recording he is over 50 years old and had lost much of the quality of his voice - nevertheless the resulting recording is incredibly eerie.

Received at the gate: What Where When & a news daily. No sheet of rules.

So, it's a rule that is not listed in the document listing rules? Rather, it's on a list of rules that no one seems to have ever seen?

Must be that same list that explains clearly what the "spirit of Burning Man" is.

yes, NT, where in the "RULES" does it state this?

or are you just blowing dust out of your ass again?

a) I thought you 'plonked' me.

I believe it's been on the 'tip sheet' for the last 2 years.

by **Simon of the Playa** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 1:01 pm

you BELIEVE?

my, there's a back-peddle.

i've got the tip sheet in my hot little hands, should i scan it and post it?

by **Simon of the Playa** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 1:05 pm

seriously, you can just admit that you are wrong NT.

i do it all the time, it's no big deal....you we're mistaken, confused perhaps.

on drugs at the time, delusional.

whatever, it does not matter, but what does matter is there is no rule or tip anywhere on any sheet that you were given that states what you state it states.

so there....neener, neener poo poo.

edited for proper punctuation, because you know how that shit bothers me.

by **Roberto Dobbisano** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 1:13 pm

by **neon tetra** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 2:00 pm

I am 100% certain it was listed on one of the handouts they give you on the way in. Is that better?

Do you have a full scan of the tip sheet?

by **Simon of the Playa** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 2:09 pm

well then, you are 100% wrong then, fool.

and yes, i do have the tip sheet, both sides...and it is not there...

i have EVERY thing they handed out and it is not there.

you are worse than Fonzie, the man who cant say he was "WRONG".

get over yourself, winkler.

http://www.burningman.com/preparation/tip_sheets/

the last one available was 2008, but you'll just have to trust me little blue fish, it aint changed much...

now.....where were we.....right...admitting a mistake vs. rat in corner flailing madly.

lets talk about soy milk, to avoid this thread...

by **theCryptofishist** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 7:28 pm

Ha. You can't get the half dozen people on this thread to cooperate for five internet minutes.

I don't know how this went south, but I assume it's an ugly story.

I've never understood soy milk in tea............
and, IIRC, "chai" means "tea" in Czech.

isn't there some sort of estrogen thing with soy?

Firemoose might know.

by **Simon of the Playa** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 8:41 pm

YGGY!

there are rules against soy milk in chai.

i read it in the survival guide, or maybe the tip sheet....I'm 110% certain it curdles.

by **ygmir** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 8:46 pm

crap!! It was so dark while I was listening to the "survival guide on CD" that I heard it wrong.

I thought the rule was against boy milk, in China.

by **FIGJAM** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 9:55 pm

it was backwards masked... you need the vinyl to really get the rules right.

by **neon tetra** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 10:41 pm

The quiet hour before & during the temple burn was 100% on one of the items that they gave out at the gate in 2009. I know this for certain b/c that's the year we had neighbors blasting dubstep & we noticed that they didn't observe the rule.
I usually don't keep all those papers, but I can ask around to some friends that might.

ePlaya

Could I get EVERYONE to cooperate for one hour?

let me flog this dead horse for you...
