moved in, finally. Of course, before we actually moved in, there were some things to take care of. like helping pricks who were away move their shit. Damned mofos, i almost lost my third finger trying to shoulder a wooden cabinet full of coins from one apartment to another. My right third finger got wedged into one of the drawers and almost did not come out. Fuckin' hell. This is the last time i'm going to be a free bangla worker for those pricks. Next time, pack your shit, move your shit yourself (and be around when you do so) and be nice to us before the moving starts. Faux grateful phone calls after don't cut it with me you spoilt pricks. Oh, and packing means collapsing stuff that can be collapsed. Moving entire assembled ikea cabinets down your faux bourgeois pads for free, even if the place is just next door is no fun. Next time, why don't you pay the movers to move your shit instead huh?
...
Er anyway. What i wanted to say was, that I managed to obtain a antiquated hifi set in my new room. So I am blasting my classical shit all day nowsadays, annoying the shit out of my roommates. The thing about the Hi Fi is that its resolution isn't as good as my etymotics, so the funny shit that happens in a classical recording doesnt appear even at high amplitude, as opposed to my good ole noise reducing Etymotic ER-4Ps.
Shit such as this:
-In the highly excellent Rostropovich and Serkin Brahms Cello Sonaten recording, u can actually here one of these two old men moan like they're in heat. I wonder who is it. Here is a rough transcript:
ja ... (note) ja..... (note) gut! ...(note) ja! mmm ! mmmmm! mmmm! (ascending higher notes to climax) MMMM!!
- in the Bach Cello Suite No.2, Rostropovich actually records in an old French Church. At the begnning of the Prelude, u can actually hear a pesky bird chirp. Perhaps its a hungry bird calling for the mother or some song bird trying to get a mate.
- and somebody burped and farted during a recording of Anne-Sophie Mutter's Beethoven Violin Concerto (forgot which number). And one of the string section was testing the microphone by thumping on it.
- and perhaps the same guy was there during du Pre's recording. Same burping and coughing and farting. What is it with old men and front row seats huh?
I wonder what kind of stuff happens on stage when the orchestra is playing. Does the conductor swear at the orchestra when one of them screws up? Or moan for the matter when everything goes well together?? And Rostropovich seem to have a very weird habit of taking sharp, orgasmic breaths when he goes on a long virtuostic section.
Anyway I am veli bored la. Thats why I can type so much shit. but the point is, i love my Etymotics. You hear things u can never hear on a normal hi fi.
