Er, why single out this chick? I don't get it, what's this thread about anyway? I don't listen to her music (I'd rather listen to stuff like Royksopp or Capsule if I'm gonna listen to pop) and I frankly don't care who she is personally. She could as well be a chimp with a robotic brain shooting lazers for all I care, it still doesn't anything to me. This thread honestly could've been as well a post in that old pop thread I made, since honestly what's there to discuss? It's some chick writing pop music for MTV success that dresses funny. Next. PS: oh gently caress the famous gaga, check this scraggy out! I can get behind this 10000% more.

Speaking of which, I'd like to know the psycho-semi-stalker-weirdo who keeps down-voting Tokke's posts for absolutely no reason :blink:

lol @ downvoting. Did I hit a nerve? Hahahaha.

oh scraggy itsMICROTONAL SHORYUKEN!!!!!!1one So what is this thread about? Complaining about using cmajor? :>

And here's to another 170 years of him being dead! Why celebrate 170 years again? Isn't it better to do it every 100 years? Or do people just don't want to wait around? As for the composer itself, poor guy. But honestly I've literally walked out on every single performance I've heard from him so it's not like I care.

Today marks the 170th birthday of Peter Ilytch Tchaikovsky, famous Russian composer of romantic music. In honor of his birthday, share your favorite works of his. Or, if you'd prefer, discuss one particular work and your thoughts on it. Or just talk about the man in general! I have several favorite works of his considering he's #2 on my list of favorite composers. I think my favorite is Cappricio Italien, though Symphonies Nos. 2, 4, 6, Overture 1812, March Slave, and are all close. I think Swan Lake as some interesting moments but features some of his worst orchestration IMO, but that makes sense because it was early in his career. Indeed, his 6th Symphony has some AMAZING orchestration choices, so he clearly learned his stuff gradually, not all at once at conservatory. I got the bio on his life too; haven't finished it yet, but he seems to have had a very interesting personal family life. A bit of an eccentric too, but then again, what classical music composer isn't eccentric?

My little birthday present to him (and others).
