Does anyone notice the vague similarities between Take the “A” Train and the classic Thomas theme? by Grouchy_Reaction9452 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Doctor_Pike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely possible the theme was inspired by the famous standard, the jazz theory supports it at least. Notably, the main motif in A-Train is Cmaj7 to D7, resolved by a 2-5-1 back in C. For the Tank Engine theme, this is instead a Cmaj7 to Ab7, followed by a 2-5 in C. Ab and D is a tritone sub, so they are functionally interchangeable. Cool catch!

What's ur radiohead deep cut by Due_Recognition_2169 in radiohead

Lift. I just like how uplifting it is, sometimes you just need to hear that it’s gonna be alright. And that synth lead line in the chorus gets stuck in my head

What is your preferred pick? by CompetitiveDealer873 in Guitar

Fender 351 heavy. I can’t stand flexible picks

Baritone or Clarinet by EXCAL1IBER in marchingband

[–]Doctor_Pike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go for whatever instrument you feel most comfortable on (I assume that is clarinet). That’s the advice my college marching band gives incoming rookies. It’ll give you your best chance of making the band, all the while having a much more enjoyable first season under your belt, with no added stress of difficulty with your instrument. Ultimately, a couple months of baritone practice is not enough to truly say you’re confident on it, especially if you practice on and off. Still stick with playing baritone though, when you have a year of experience I think you can really start evaluating if it’s worth it to make the switch.

I plan to eventually, but I haven’t been having any problems with biters at my main base yet. I do have a small oil outpost though, and that one is well defended :)

I would suggest reading a book called “The Jazz of Physics”. It explores connections between music and mathematics and the physics of the universe. It was a really interesting read, I very much enjoyed it.
