stumbling

I keep finding more and more things that really catch my interest whilst stumbling. The latest of these things is the music of Jay Brannon.

Half-Boyfriend by Jay Brannan (which i downloaded from towleroad: http://www.towleroad.com/2008/06/exclusive-dow-1.html)

I’ve since downloaded his album on itunes and have been listening to it all night.

Today has been a generally lazy and very nice day. I’m not really looking forward to working to dad tomorrow, but getting paid today helps with that quite a bit.

I get to visit Charlie in 6 days and about 9 hrs! I can’t wait.

Brass tech

today, the last day of class, Bruce stopped me after class and asked me to come to his office… so i did. When i got in there he told me that i have been without a doubt the best brass tech student he has ever had. He said something along the lines of not only was i good at all the instruments i picked up, but i was the best at each one in each rotation. He said that my essays on fundamentals and first lessons included the most information out of anyone, and told me that i have the best grade in the class without a doubt. He also invited me (again) to be in horn choir in the fall, which i will probably take him up on.

but what felt the best was when he said that i was going to be a stellar band director and he thinks that after getting myself established that high schools will be begging me to do their band programs.

it felt good
i’m really excited to start

V7 vii7

An angered emotional freshman music major (no not me): “SINCE WHEN CAN A V7 CHORD MOVE TO A vii7, THAT IS REGRESSION AND WE CAN’T DO THAT”

what can i say except that i guess some people get really into their theory?

guess away, come on you know some of these!!

Step 1: put your iPod on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line or two from the first 38 tracks that play, no matter how embarrassing the song may be.
Step 3: Strike through the trcaks when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing, looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.

WARNING: I have a LOT of music, some quite strange, on my computer. Enjoy!

my latest stumblings

had very nice dinner and conversation with monica tonight in which we jointly came up with this

music used to be our escape, now it’s our work. Don’t get us wrong, we love music but now we need another escape. I’ve been (attempting) drawing, but i’m also thinking about doing some more rock climbing with monica
