The following is a flute. #81 of ~122 crystal Glass flutes produced by Claude Laurent. I wish I had the money to buy this because they're very, very rare these days.

I find that interesting, at least.

You should learn to play this on the flute.

Phylum 12-04-2010 02:23 AM

Great expression. Generally amazing dynamics.

Lots of bad things in the performance. Generally ariy sound took a lot out of it for me. A couple of times she surged. Her high notes were poor. Her low notes cracked.

I wish there was a recording of Georges Barrere playing that on his platinum flute. (The piece was writen for him to play on the first platinum flute hence the name).

Yes, I remember reading about that a few years ago. The Complete Works of Edgard Varèse Volume 1 has a good performance of that on it, and so does the Decca Complete Works of Edgard Varèse. It might be worth listening to those if you haven't done already.

This is the funniest animal vid I've watched in a while. Seriously, I havent laughed so hard since like ... a long time. I think.

I feel such pity for them too. But it's just such an absurd video.

either way, watch:

Is this a joke? and what about Lego?

T-nex 12-10-2010 03:26 AM


Wow... That clip acually kind of made me sad.

Nate 12-10-2010 03:41 AM

Awww... don't be sad, T-nex. Didn't you know that manatees have specialised shock absorbers in their snouts? I read it on Wikipedia, so it must be true!



Here, this will cheer you up!

MA 12-10-2010 03:42 AM

i can't stop watching this clip. i'm sat here laughing like a fucking goon.

Well.. There's a major difference between the two videos. The duck video is funny because of its utter absurdity. It's just so weird and strange that I cant help laugh everytime i watch it. Also the ducks seem to be fine at the end, so I dont fel bad.


The waterclip on the other hand, is funny too. I even let out a chukle. But then I made the mistake of looking that that whale-thing's
eyes.... And then I started thinking about how it probably just wanted to checkout the strange creature it was swimming against... and how it would probably like being out there in the wild, not in captibity, and then I just got kinda sad x_x It's not really the clip's fault, but I just began thinking of that. And those eyes... they seem so sad and hollow.

that whale-thing

It's a manatee. Back in the day, sailors used to find them so attractive that they'd jump out of their boats to try and shag them and drown. That's where legends of mermaids come from.

Seriously... you can't make shit like that up.

Going by a lot of classical art, I can see how people would have made the mistake.

ziggy 12-10-2010 04:26 PM

I had a nightmare I was being raped by a manatee. So what does that mean?
