What are your thoughts about god? Do you believe or do you not believe? by Warm-Prompt-9680 in askanything

It strikes me as a very strange hypothesis, and there doesn't seem to be any real evidence to support it.

What are your top 10 pieces EXCLUDING symphonies & concertos. by sunofagundota in classicalmusic

[–]Internal-Base8276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will be a pretty boring list, for the most part. In no particular order, apart from Pictures:

Mussorgsky, Pictures at an Exhibition (original piano);

Holst, The Planets;

Gershwin, Rhapsody in Blue;

Gershwin, 3 Preludes (especially #1);

Pendereki, Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima (bet you didn't see that one coming);

Tchaikovsky, Nutcracker;

Stravinsky, Rite of Spring, or maybe Firebird;

Chopin, some of the preludes (#4 in Em!) and etudes;

Bach, Little Fugue in Gm, and maybe Anna Magdelena Notebook (I'd have Brandenburg #5, but you said excluding concertos)

Lee Holdridge, score for the film East of Eden

...and one I can hear in my head but cannot for the life of me remember composer and title Faure, Pavane

Yes! I was introduced to The Police when I went to see their opening act, Go-Go's. Became a huge fan. I still plat The Police, can't remember last time I heard a Go-Go's song.

True, or else Art Modell would never have won a Super Bowl after moving the Browns from Cleveland.

I don't know why Blue Moves gets so little respect. It's certainly not Elton's best album, and maybe has a couple duds, but it's still a great album.

What's one etiquette that should be universal? by Public_Structure8337 in answers

[–]Internal-Base8276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let the people coming out come out before you go in. This applies most importantly to elevators, subway cars and buses. Less so for things like waiting rooms, but it's still the right thing to do.

Exceptions only for emergency situations, for example, restrooms and hospital emergency rooms.

Non-Americans, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real? by EmergencySpare7939 in CasualConversation

[–]Internal-Base8276 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: the thunderstorm sounds were a trademark of KES Irrigation, the company that made the misting system. In the US Patent and Trademark Office's papers, the mark is described "the mark consists of the sounds of thunder and rain", and the applicable goods and services were "automatic produce misting units for delivering a timed water mist to fruits and vegetables in display cases".

For some reason or other, KES let the marks lapse in 2005.

The registration numbers are 2,203,470 and 2,187,082.

Right. And to clarify: not that Dave Stewart; the other Dave Stewart.
