<p>Harvard needs a better mascot, don't you think? (hey, stonecold, how's that for a change of subject? hehe thanks for the headsup)</p>
<p>did i just break some sort of rule for making a joke thread? Oh well, I'll delete it later....</p>
<p>better change it.... kids on CC will report you to the admin!!!!</p>
<p>bc they are losers</p>
<p>LOL. Why? That is soo... stupid! If they are the same kids that I would be going to H with (if accepted, that is) I don't know if I would want to go any longer.</p>
<p>dang it! The thread title won't change, even though I edited it. I knew I should've waited for April Fools' Day!</p>
<p>This thread is kind of stupid. lol</p>
<p>Let's make it more exciting.</p>
<p>Anyone doing anything worth mentioning? I'm pretending to do my Why Penn essay.</p>
<p>haha. I'm busy procrastinating on my Question 2 for U Chicago.</p>
<p>EDIT: And listening to "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed.</p>
<p>Which one was that?</p>
<p>Edit: And listening to Trois Gymnopedies by Erik Satie ;)</p>
<p>Ironically enough, "Tell us about a few of your favorite books, poems, authors, films, plays, pieces of music, musicians, performers, paintings, artists, magazines, or newspapers. Feel free to touch on one, some, or all of the categories listed or add a category of your own."</p>
<p>lol. And I've never heard of Erik Satie before! Quien es? :)</p>
<p>Oh, yes, I remember that one. I put on some pretty random ****. </p>
<p>It's a classical piece on some random compilation album. I put all my classical music on one folder in iTunes and put it on shuffle, so sometimes weird stuff comes up. lol He was a French composer around 1900. </p>
<p>Edit: now I'm listening to Divertimento No. 3 in F Major (andante) by Mozart. :)</p>
<p>Do you guys ever just not want to respond to posts you should respond to?</p>
<p>haha that's awesome. So you're into classical music, I see. Do you play at all? As you could probably tell I'm into guitar so while I can definitely appreciate traditional classical, I'm not that familiar with it. What I do listen to quite a bit of is classical guitar. Are you familiar with any of it? It's mostly Spanish composers, guys like Rodrigo and Albeniz. heh, good stuff.</p>
<p>If you enjoy classical music, I would STRONGLY recommend checking out the Concierto de Aranjuez. It's a Rodrigo concierto and probably the most famous classical piece written with the guitar as a lead. My personal favorite recording is Paco de Luc</p>
<p>Yeah, I play. </p>
<p>I took guitar lessons for a couple months a few years ago, wanting to learn some non-classical music. Nope. I was at the best drumshop around here with this teacher a waiting list a mile long, and he says to me: "You know, you should really be playing classical guitar." ;)</p>
<p>But, yeah, I do listen to a good bit of classical guitar, when I can. I like the Spanish stuff. It's all very nice. (I know that sounds like a lame compliment, but Spanish music simply strikes me as "nice" lol)</p>
<p>I will definitely check that out, if I remember! The name doesn't sound familiar to me, so I don't think I have a copy of it.</p>
<p>I was hard on this kid in Admissions who had an F and one or two Cs first semester. She said that college applications and the course load was more than she expected and it's not a real measure of how well she can do and she will get all As second semester. I basically told her not to make excuses to the adcoms (she wanted to put all this in a letter) and that I doubted she was going to get all As second semester. I ended with something along the lines of "Get a tutor, and start studying." Needless to say, she was not appreciative. I'm pretty sure she cursed me out, but it's hard to tell with all those *s. lol Oops.</p>
<p>haha well, if you get to know me better (and ESPECIALLY if we both end up at Harvard!), I'll definitely show you the best Spanish music that I have to offer ;) Although interestingly, the best "Spanish" music I find is not pure Spanish music, but rather Spanish flamenco fused with other genres as performed by foreigners. Ottmar Liebert is German (and is the BEST in flamenco-esque music, lol), Jesse Cook is Canadian, Strunz & Farah are Costa Rican and Iranian, respectively, etc. These are some of the best "nuevo flamenco" artists the world has to offer. I love how this music is very often fused heavily with Middle Eastern music. The two styles complement each other so nicely. It's just beautiful what happens when you take those types of music and mix 'em up!</p>
<p>And yeah, we're all dealing with admissions. Seriously :p</p>
<p>Yeah, Middle Eastern and Mexican music do go quite well together, pretty often. I've spent my fair share of time in Mexico (not Cancun lol), and I love all the music and culture there. It's one of my favorite places. :)</p>
<p>Haha. I really made her mad. I should respond at some point. We'll see. :p</p>
<p>sounds like amazing music that we all have to hear at some point in our lives!</p>
<p>When we're all together at Harvard! Duh! ;)</p>
<p>Claro que s</p>
<p>back to the original question:</p>
