Jimi Hendrix: The Charlie Parker of rock

I remember this was the point of the game where my opinion on Miriam turned around. I'd always kind of dismissed her as some technophobic nutcase, but in the face of things like thought control, self-aware colonies, the Dream Twister... sometimes she's the only one who seems sane. That's what was...

@TheLazaster Most if not all jazz musicians played piano. Trane, Diz, Miles, Mingus... For horn players especially it was a way to work out what they were thinking harmonically and to develop their theory. Especially once Bop rolled around and playing solos based off the melody became a huge no-n...

@FernandOrtizdeUrbina Trumpet player does a great job, then. It's a fitting tribute to Diz, has his style and flair in there.

@wolkenkratzermarvin Well yeah but it was pretty much a suicide run, which have made some people wonder if Rocco was the traitor who opened Michael's blinds. If Rocco died shooting Roth, his family would be well taken care of. If he somehow survived, any evidence of his betrayal would be gone. Ei...

Love the Dies Irae quote that ends the piece (roughly 2:00 on).

Should've sat in on Brad Pitt's poker school. I guess he was too busy feeling up stockbrokers.

What has this got to do with Intelligent Design? I mean the guy asks about it but Dawkins doesn't respond to it. Instead he replies to the dinosaur fossils being 3000 years old, which I'll agree is a ridiculous position but as far as I know that sort of thing is only embraced by Young Earth Creat...

Heh, the main reason I watch these now is for the whole superhero coffee shop thing.

Also, this was always my favourite SP video. The quote is great, and the (rather cynical) vision of futuristic TV being basically Youtube Poop always makes me laugh.

@EllenRebecca3 Wardrobe director confirmed that the children are intentionally wearing different clothing in the last scene. I think IMDB's got the quote.

Anyway, the movie seems to have been influenced by Eastern religion and mysticism, which revolves a lot around the question "What is real, an...

Nice job with the picture slideshow, really brings out the theme of love in these movies. Michael Corleone has got to be one of the most tragic figures in American cinema. Stuff like Marley and Me doesn`t touch me but I shed a tear at the end of Godfather pt 2 every time and I`m not ashamed to ad...

Man as much as there are some funny lines in this scene, it's too heavy for me to laugh. This last scene is, for me, what took the movie from "Great" to "One of the Best Ever Made"

But it occurs to me that the tradeoff with the pawn chain is that it would hamper development of more important pieces.

@soolola Bach's Chaconne in D minor. Beautiful piece. I'm learning it for the guitar but it's just not the same, doesn't have the same intensity.

@MySnoopy87 I think you mean you don't believe in God, because religion kinda exists

So wait, the visuals are designed by Satan to make people emotionally connect? What, did they outsource the effects department to Hell or something? Like were there demons walking around on the set? Like I really have no idea where he was going with this.

Also: Degree in Communications. This. Ex...

I heard the story that the reason why they never played the intro live was that suitably portable pianos were too small in those days to accomodate the highest notes. Allegedly, when they tried doing it, Tony got so caught up in the music that he ended up trying to play it anyway. His fingers tou...

@operations1000 Wait, actually? Civ III's were awesome but Civ IV had Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, Dvorak... They aren't even in the same LEAGUE. Civ IV had far and away the best soundtrack of any Civ game because it used period pieces written by some of the greatest musical geniuses to ever live. Th...

@chiefilliniwek4 There are? Who? How do you know this?

"I have an important message to deliver to all the cute people all over the world. If you're out there and you're cute, maybe you're beautiful. I just want to tell you somethin' — there's more of us UGLY MOTHERFUCKERS than you are, hey-y, so watch out." - Frank Zappa

Magic, shmagic. Stronghold rules. Wolf Raiders are my favourite level 2s and Thunderbirds are frigging sick.

#1. The region of Galatians? Are you serious?

#2. Possibly the reason why we prefer video games to real life conflict is that we want to enjoy the thrill of besting another man in armed combat without having to live with the knowledge that we just deprived a family of their father?

#3. Where i...

Watching this made me wonder just how much "inspiration" Spongebob took from this show

A Hillsong parody is redundant because they are more or less parodies of themselves already

They really need to have John Myung do lyrics again. I'm assuming these were written by Petrucci, and they're pretty awful. Music's pretty good, if you love DT it's more of the same, if you don't love DT this won't change your mind.

Nicely done. Wynton Kelly was a beast, especially when it comes to the blues

Coltrane was the man. It's just a shame Kenny G had to go and ruin the soprano sax for everyone
