In the flute world, we don’t say “I love you,” we say “open-hole B foot french arm solid silver C sharp trill key D sharp roller 14k gold riser” which roughly translates to “I’m better than you” and I think that’s just beautiful.

Like, maybe over ventrilo or tinychat — some hosting client like that. Very informal — provide your own accompaniment (totally fine, even encouraged to use vocal tracks to sing along to)
Probably run it for a couple hours — 8-10 central time, maybe?
And listeners can maybe send in votes to FYBB and we’ll give the most popular singer of the night a shoutout?
I think this would be fun c:
I figure this is something I can work on for the month of May in order to keep my blog afloat. I don’t really talk a lot about music on my blog, so why not make May “music month”?

sleevesmcfly asked: We talked about this in my music history classes. We've institutionalized the music that was written to express the emotions and ideas of the period. People used to sing along to operas and play cards if they didn't like the part. During Hayden's "surprise symphony" people cheered at the subito forte. It was like the dubs rep at the time. We've even institutionalized jazz. It's so backwards that we can't express our appreciation/antipathy toward a piece of music. But that's why it was written.
Right, yeah, exactly!
Something that really interests me is, like, electric string groups. Bond, Vitamin Quartet, and such. Like, what venues do they play at? What kind of reaction does their audience give? They seem very bridge-between-worlds, esp. as a lot of bond’s music comes straight from classical scores.
