5. To what my better half is watching on TV.
Edited on Sat May-16-09 01:41 PM by Zavulon
She loves "Deadliest Catch" and is watching last week's episode from the DVR.

Will someone please explain the appeal of that show to me?

(Rhetorical question, no need to answer, I don't want to hijack someone else's thread)

12. I love Glass but don't know that one.
And I had forgotten I had a copy of Philip Glass - Orion until this thread, so I'm listening to that now :)

15. It's an early work of his, about 3.5 hours long.
Taking what he learned in Music in Contrary Motion and Music in Fifths and other late 60s pieces, and pulling it all together in his first long time-scale piece, written from 1971-1974.

It's a fantastic work. I've heard one or two parts of it live, performed by the Glass ensemble, but missed it on a tour a few years ago when they were doing (I think) the whole thing; or, perhaps more likely, a shortened version (fewer repeats).

The ensemble did a recording of the whole 3.5 hour kit and kaboodle about ten years ago.

18. Listening to a couple of adults play Guitar Hero Metallica...
...in the next room.

Funny thing is, I had to stop playing my REAL guitar so they could play.

Life is weird...lol. :headbang:
