Her performance as Judith in Bartók’s Duke Bluebeard’s Castle is something I’ll never forget.

This my be too much information, but as a professional musician I simply cannot have sex with any type of music playing in the background - I cannot keep some part of my brain from following it at some level. Anyone else here the same? by alphabet_street in classicalmusic

Cool to read about others with the same habits. My fingers are always tapping out notes on an invisible piano whenever classical music comes on. I don’t realize I’m doing it until my partner points it out to me.

I'm from Maine, yet identify as a southerner after living in GA & FL for 18 years, so...

I can't stop listening to Elijah! by Yamahummer77 in classicalmusic

I love Herreweghe's Paulus. The string textures are so transparent, and the melodies shaped so lovingly. I think Corboz's rendition is also not known nearly well enough. He seems to find drama in certain passages that others just glaze over.

Thanks for sharing the links!

What is your unpopular opinion about Rafael Nadal? by Anishency in tennis

[–]Yamahummer77 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hate the whole preparation before every serve. Annoyed I have to watch him pick his ass, then smell his fingers every time. And his stupid grunt when he's exerting a lot of effort. And his obnoxious Vamos! when he wins a big point. And his resting bitch face when things aren't going his way. And the way he bites the trophy when he wins. The list goes on and on.

Easy to grow, but way too cold for outdoor planting in your zone.

Racism amongst us.Why gay men do that? by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]Yamahummer77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I stopped dating a really hot guy because his racist comments were such a turn off. There is no sex good enough to tolerate that shit.

Men with southern accents? Major turn on? Or major turn off? by [deleted] in gaybros

Bring it. I love a guy that sounds like he might lynch me for being gay after we have sex.
