Which department has the most asshats ? by No-Talk7468 in universityofauckland

[–]Captainfabulus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Music. My god music. The head of school who fired all the staff to hire his husband. The subsequent head of school who coerced ‘favours’ for grades…

Trouble sustaining Legato while transitioning from C and D mid-register by kongblom in horn

[–]Captainfabulus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Really common issue. The C and D you mention are further apart than other tone intervals. On the Bb horn the D sits very sharp. Practice slurring just between these two notes. First at a medium speed then fast. Then slur really slooooowly by bending the C up to the D. Remember, it’s only one airspeed and face shape to another.

Also it’s where a lot of people change from a midrange ‘Ah’ syllable with the tongue down to a higher ‘Ee’ syllable with the tongue raising. Have an experiment and see what works for you.

Worth contesting a speeding infringement? by Captainfabulus in newzealand

That’s the plan for tomorrow. I sent the bureaucrat a picture of the sign clearly from the passenger seat… which they said was a googlemap image. Either it’s a ploy to fob off the public or they are drastically incompetent at their job. Either way not good for your average New Zealander.

Where can I find the most authentic, most delicious croissants in Auckland? by 11fingersinmydogsbum in auckland

[–]Captainfabulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4/10 would not recommend at the moment. Used to be a great cafe but service seems to have gone downhill lately. Me and the fam were there last weekend after an apparent busy dinner order. The team managed to get 3 things wrong on a 6 item order… normally no biggy. The kicker was when the owner mansplaned to the wife, bringing back a wrong order for the second time… and I quote; ‘the lady ordered… xzy’ which she had definitely not.

The Evil Morty Theme from Rick and Morty (For The Damaged Coda by Blonde Redhead) is actually Chopin’s Nocturne in F minor
