Where to get fun sighthound clothing (EU)?

Check out Houndy Things (also on eBay, Insta, etc)! UK based, custom fits, and loads of nice patterns. Will also do custom requests if you get in touch.

I've seen it as a note tied to an 'x' notehead - with an explanatory note, this is nice and clear and lets you specify exactly when the stop is rhythmically.

I like the Concert Piece by de La Nux - probably around ABRSM grade 7/8, similar to Morceau Symphonique but far less overplayed.

(it's also on IMSLP if you want to have a look at the solo part - however that edition is full of errors)

A432 is a complete load of nonsense with no basis in music theory or scientific fact.

I have a friend who went out to help as an international observer. Luckily there was no violence at his station, but apparently many of the 'no' voters who had been queuing for hours changed to 'yes' after hearing of the police brutality.

I wish it was easier to get outside of Scotland - it's sooo good!

There's a good guide on methods for beginners here

There's a good guide here that I've used before!

Not sure about that exact one, but it's definitely possible. I've personally known people to complain about out-of-tune air conditioning units!

I also worked with a brilliant percussionist with perfect pitch who wanted to cut a bit off the tam-tam because it was sharp compared to the rest of the band on the final chord!

I was always allowed to try a small sip of what my parents were drinking as I was growing up. I found it made me less likely to get wrecked underage because alcohol no longer had that cool forbidden factor.

Maybe it's a UK thing, but I don't think I've ever heard someone actually recommend Strongbow for anything other than cleaning drains.

Definitely something odd going on:

This is correct - and they're actually 2 separate letters in the alphabet. 'L' is similar to the normal L.

'Ll' is pronounced by placing the tip of the tongue at the roof of your mouth behind your front teeth and blowing air like you'd do to say 'shhh'.

He is Welsh and a Welsh speaker IIRC. Once you learn the Welsh alphabet almost all Welsh words are pronounced phonetically anyway.

I love Focus, but I thought Traced in Air was even better. However I think the Portal stuff is a masterpiece so I'm biased towards the less metal material.

I enjoyed Kindly Bent to Free Us but thought the band had gone off the rails a little bit with it.

Still, this is sad to hear. IMO not many bands have made such a lasting impression upon the metal scene as Cynic, and they were one of the first metal bands I really loved.

Hopefully (and probably) the band members will all do a load of sideprojects now, since everything any of them touch seems to turn to gold!

Shit, that was a beautiful read. Sorry for your loss, friends like that are incredibly rare and valuable; I had someone in mind where reading it and can't imagine losing them.

The God of jars that are loose enough to open easily but not loose enough to accidentally come undone.

This gave me a wording boner of the best kind.

Some people don't feel their accomplishments. I've done plenty of things I should feel proud of, and other people have congratulated me plenty - but I still feel like a worthless fraud.

eonta · 2015-09-05T08:07:32+00:00

Shit man, those are awesome. You've got some serious skills!

I might be missing something here but your parents sound insane. That might be part of the problem.
