#there is an orchestra section

[galindathegay]

per your mentioning of them, i listened to "weird science" by oingo boingo, a very fun tune. thank you for bringing them into my musical lexicon

Isn't it awesome?? Apparently it started as the theme song to a movie of the same name, but the producers used the rough demo of the song instead of allowing Oingo Boingo time to finish it. They then turned around and released the finished version on their "Dead Man's Party" album. I haven't seen the movie (yet), so I can't compare the two, but "Weird Science" is absolutely one of my favorite Halloween-esque songs.

If you're interested in more of their odder songs (bearing in mind that I still haven't listened past the "Dead Man's Party" album yet), then in no particular order I recommend:

"You Really Got Me" (cover)

"Perfect System"

"Dead Or Alive"

"Reptiles And Samurai"

If you want unsettling yet still fits the definition of satire:

"Capitalism" (Republicans thinking this song praises capitalism is hilarious)

"Little Girls" (just...bear with it a bit.)

"Nothing To Fear (But Fear Itself)"

"Only A Lad"

And then if you want songs that personally got me hooked?:

"Stay"

"No One Lives Forever"

"On The Outside"

"Running On A Treadmill"

"Private Life"

"Good For Your Soul"

I know that I spelled out, like, half of their discography. But I think this group is surprisingly diverse enough to find something to enjoy, from absolute batshit to relatively mainstream.

Oh my god. Guess who got into that higher-level orchestra after all.

[endlessfuckup]

turns out the philly show wasn't sold out after all

Got a TIT ticket 😁

The super cool @kanonavi and I created an incredibly detailed Genshin Orchestra AU! There is so much that can be said about it, but here’s the trombone section for now!

Wriothesley is a bit of an old and jaded criminal justice major who has been at this university for way too long. Yanfei is a law major and Hu Tao is a mortuary science major, and they both still have hope and joy in their eyes :)

Wriothesley becomes one of the girlies after showcasing his dry wit in rehearsal, and Sigewinne is very happy that he now has friends who get him to do activities. Hu Tao and Yanfei don't have a car and Wriothesley does, so he is quickly roped into driving them to rehearsals, and then to get groceries, and then to go shopping... and then be weird in the Taco Bell drive thru at 11:30pm

They take him to get boba for the first time and he likes it! Now they show up late almost every week because they're getting fun drinks :D

While you're here, go look at my friend's art of the oboe section!

I think Church on Ruby Road has finally firmly cemented my opinion that Murray Gold should not have come back.

Wake up, babes, Cabaret set design just dropped.

listening to Omega’s theme and tbh it just gets better every time I listen to it

like I like all the music the Kiners have done for TBB but this one just hits different

it kinda reminds The Planets by Holst which contains probably my favorite piece of classical music, Jupiter - especially this particular section

I fell in love with Jupiter over a decade ago (I’m old) and something in Omega’s Theme just brings me to the same place, mentally and I love it SO much

God, this is fucking crazy

So i only have 3 more classes to take, but it'll cost the same to take 3 classes as 4 classes. So I've been thinking about taking a 4th class just for the hell of it. Something fun and/or easy.

Out of curiosity, I looked up orchestras. I was in it in my first year, but I haven't consistently played since 2016. But I still dream about being in an orchestra again. I *miss it*. So I was like. Well, what if *that* was my 4th class next semester? What If?

I looked it up. This week is the last week they're doing auditions for it. There was only one more spot free after today. And that's *tomorrow evening*.

I haven't really played my violin much in YEARS. I'm so out of practice. But apparently they don't reject anyone outright. Auditions are just for placement. So worst case scenario, I get placed in an orchestra at a lower skill level than I was at my prime. It'd still be an orchestra.

It's crazy short notice, but I don't think I'd forgive myself if I passed it up. Bc I have just one more semester before I graduate. One last opportunity to be in a school orchestra. And if I didn't do this, I'd be left with that What If forever.

So. Crazy short notice, but I have a violin audition tomorrow!!! Hahahaha

Tumblr still won't let me upload audio files for some reason so instead you get a YouTube video. I feel cool about this, actually. I haven't made a mashup before and I think it turned out nice.

If you'd like the mp3 download, it's here.

me when I'm at orchestra and the conductor angrily stops us because there's something absolutely dreadful happening in the second violins:

You a monsterfucker???

I assume this question is for me rather than Mr Davy Jones himself but if not feel free to send it again to get Davy's answer, IF YEH DARE- UH!

Nope, I am not that. I'm not really comfortable with that sort of thing to be honest but if anyone who follows me who is, then that's perfectly fine! I don't have an attraction to cursed Davy, but I do find human Davy handsome. I'm more into the reasons why Davy is the way he is as that's how I fell in love with his character; angst, tragedy, drama and all sorts of things like that. He's a tragic character, and I am a sucker for all things angst!

There's also a reason why I don't write smut on here either, it's just not something I feel comfortable to write and I also don't really feel a need to write that sort of stuff anyway.

But hey! Anyone interested in that, that's all good with me. Keep being your awesome self!

no guy on this planet can compliment me the way my professor did when i explained my job to him and he said “your character has many muscles. like schwarzenegger” and flexed his arm
