I'm logging into this instance less and less often.

It's alright, though, don't take it personally.

...But it is your fault.

Yo, I'm still here, folkies.

I'm just not gonna give you any particular evidence of that. Except for this and future posts here.

So yeah, I guess I will give evidence of my presence.

I'm such a goddamn liar.

Hey, so I haven't been around this place very much lately, but it's because I've been busy (read: panicking) with some other scheduling/financial/musicking bullshit over the last week.

I'll make a point to be on here a bit more over the next week.

And more shitposting to come.

In case you couldn't guess by my latest RT, @groofay is another me, on another instance.

oh my god, I'm really digging Milhaud right now.

what an amazing French bastard.

Shit, I probably should have done the content warning thing for the "show more" button...

Sorry, didn't think of it. Haven't used it before.

#BeethovenInBatesMotel (conclusion)

And still, a car full of stereotypical party girls gets to him before the bus is anywhere close to the stop, when, if anything, they should be LATER than the bus. Why? Plot convenience. Why even bother at this point?

Seriously, if Bates Motel arbitrarily wanted to get cred with classical music nerds with this scene, they completely messed it up. They'd better get their frigging act together.

#BeethovenInBatesMotel pt3

And EVEN IF this kid was listening to just the finale (weirdo), it was far enough along in that shot that he was still waiting for the school bus for several minutes (it's that big dramatic "hey I'm in G minor for eight bars" bit, you know what I mean, where the first violins are all cool, the other strings are chugging around, and the flutes get to practice their scales with unrealistic intensity).

#BeethovenInBatesMotel pt2

Even if he was listening to a "Greatest Hits" thing, no record company in their right mind would put just the finale of Beethoven's third symphony in a "Greatest Hits" thing, let alone at the very beginning of the album.

#BeethovenInBatesMotel pt1

I'm watching the first episode of Bates Motel, wondering if Norman really waited at a school bus stop for a half an hour listening to Beethoven's 3rd symphony, since the shot has him listening to the finale.

Like, come on, Bates Motel. Be reasonable here. There is no reason to casually listen to just the finale of Beethoven's 3rd symphony. It's ridiculous.

I'm gonna toot a rather long #BeethovenInBatesMotel rant, so buckle yo seatbelts.

Oh dear, I haven't tooted in a couple of days.

This is coming dangerously close to what I'm like on...

Facebook.

*waggles eyebrows*

Now I'm gonna watch Stewart Lee's first stand-up special, because it seems like the right thing to do.

Watching Vir Das' Netflix special.

...Damn, it really is special.

I mean it and can't say it lightly.
