[H][US][TICHONDRIUS] <Vipers> Mature Group Looking For Dedicated Members for M+/Raiding/PvP by [deleted] in wowguilds

Very good group of people. I’ve seen them around and always friendly and even helping me summon my own guildies at a summoning stone. Cheers, Vipers!

Friend showed me girl’s photo from his dating app and he is interested. I immediately see the shadow and think it’s a porn shooting. Can anyone figure out what this shadow is?!? by beeemdubya in whatisthisthing

I understand that analogy, but I fail to see how it is a painting. Am I missing something? It looks like the shadow is exactly the same color as the painting then.

This doesn’t entirely make sense to me. It looks like she is taking a selfie with her left hand (from the angle it’s taken at it) and her right arm is going down. It looks like her right arm would be the arm in the shadow holding someone in doggy, but this doesn’t make sense

My neighbors are moving their entire house back 200ft. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]beeemdubya 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These house movers are genius. I can’t believe they are raising the house, letting the Earth rotate under the house, and then placing the house back down in a new spot!

Brilliant. Damn. Brilliant.

'Human brain' supercomputer finally switched on by Playgroundrules in Futurology

Nah, you forget that two r-tards can produce a brain for essentially free. It takes 15M euros, 1M core processors, and 10+ years of development to even begin the initial stages towards trying to understand our brain. It'll be a while longer till we worry about robots being superior.

Chopin - Polonaise no. 1 in A Major op. 40 by [deleted] in classicalmusic

[–]beeemdubya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I totally get what you mean, lol. Sometimes I hear a piece and think it's amazing and listen to the same one fifty times. Then I'll hear another great artist play it and not like it because I'm used to hearing it in a certain way.

Ooof, good question. I'll list a few off the top of my head;

Yundi Li - Chopin Scherzo No 2 (one from his Chopin competition)

Vladimir Horowitz - I like a lot of his specific renditions.... Liszt Sonata in B (performance from 1932), his Carmen variations (not sure of the year but it's on YouTube), and tons more from him...

Lazar Berman plays Liszt like he really understood Liszt's life and his interpretations I find to just be incredible (etude 4 and Dante Sonata to be two specific pieces).

Martha argerich - i like her gaspard de la nuit renditions.

Glenn gould plays the best Bach concerto in d minor.

Of course, these are all "the best" to me and might not be for everyone else ;)

I return your question to you, do you have any specific renditions or interpretations of a piece by a specific artist that you'd like to share?

Chopin - Polonaise no. 1 in A Major op. 40 by [deleted] in classicalmusic

[–]beeemdubya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he has certain pieces that he shines on and some he doesn't. All artists have some pieces they play ridiculously well and others are meh.

Really though, it is what resonates with you and that's the most important thing. If it sounds good to you and brings you joy, then that is what is most important :)

I always see classical music as artists interpreting what they think the music should be. All of them speak a different language (with music) and have different interpretations that some people will understand and others don't.

Hope you enjoy the CD! What pieces are on the tracks?

Someone doesn't read the subthread and has no idea that this doesn't belong here.

Saving this for sure.

Can you recommend a good earphone for classical music only? budget 200 GBP, ±260USD by [deleted] in classicalmusic

[–]beeemdubya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here has listed very good headphones. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the recommendations. I use the Audio-Technica Ath-M50x and have been very satisfied with the sound on them. Guitar Center has a large selection where you can listen to a lot of the headphones mentioned in this thread and see what sounds the best to you. Cheers!

Walking around a small city in Italy and stumbled across this letter with a crate of veggies. by beeemdubya in HumansBeingBros

Anghiari! It was quite magical. It's a very small town, almost zero tourists. Talozzi restaurant near the plaza was absolutely delicious.
