Ondes Martenot

with that editing you proved you were wrong about latin-romantsch relationship... thanks!

why did you edit your post??? :rolleyes:

Next week, Dermot is joined by the one and only Beck for some live music Radio 2, 5-7 PM (GMT), October 7 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/dermot/

have you ever heard someone speaking romantsch? it's an incomprehensible language, latin is much clearer...romantsch must be a dialect of latin or something and i guess you are wrong about "oldest language"...

our kids would be ugly, though...meh! they would look like this one (sheepman!!): http://206.145.80.239/zbc/attachment.php?attachmentid=5578

ha! i doubt there's any exams in rätoromanisch, though, would be fun for sure. it's not one of those languages you'd understand easily

i'm russian who lives in switzerland :wacky: but since the swiss-german isn't an official language, we (students) have to learn everything in german. yeah, a bit confusing i know lol

you've been mc_sheeped

i just realised that there could be a great essay about this theme... -------------------------------------------------------- who don't know what was this experiment about, here's the article once again Radiohead Rorschach An innocent fifth grader's picture is worth a thousand-word critical analysis. By Rob Harvilla Article Published Sep 17, 2003 It is no longer possible to have an original opinion on Radiohead. You've absorbed the deified albums, quarreled over the rock critic pontifications, frowned at the guarded, combative interviews. Thom Yorke's ugly-stick-beaten mug has peered at you from the pages of every magazine known to man; his every word and every note has ignited its own individual Internet flame war. Mass media has bombarded us with Radiohead critique, rendering us unable to generate an unfiltered opinion of our own. When you listen to Radiohead, you're no longer actually listening to Radiohead -- you're listening to everyone's opinion about Radiohead. It's impossible to separate what you hear from what you've read. You are betrayed by what you know, and you know way too much. Thus, in order to solicit an honest, undiluted opinion about Radiohead, you'd have to find the proverbial People Living Under Rocks. As People Living Under Rocks are unavailable, let's use fifth graders. Specifically, Mitsi Kato's fifth-grade class at Roosevelt Elementary in San Leandro. Mitsi has consented to a simple experiment: We will play a career-spanning selection of Radiohead songs; the kids, equipped with Sharpies and blank sheets of paper, will simply draw whatever the music suggests to them. We don't even give them the name of the band. They don't know anything about Radiohead, the mountain of criticism, the mythology. Their thoughts and interpretations are pure, unsullied, literally unique. They are also extremely bizarre. The kids consent to this experiment, if only because Mitsi tells them to. They do, however, immediately request that we play Sean Paul or 50 Cent instead. "This is not hip-hop," Mitsi says. "I'm not asking if you like it." She doesn't have to ask. They don't. We begin with Hail to the Thief, Radiohead's latest, a critically adored and hopelessly muddled platter of art rock weirdness. The kids shift restlessly as "2+2=5" sputters into guitar-and-drum-machine gear. When Thom Yorke's famously tortured croon first surfaces, the whole room starts giggling. Giggling. For the first few songs, the kids hardly move, scarcely even changing facial expressions. One girl plants her head on her desk face-first. The "hold your head in your hands and look completely confused" look is extremely popular. But slowly, they begin drawing. One kid starts scrawling a guitar; the girl next to him immediately begins copying -- an apt metaphor for music criticism. To dispel the room's chilly vibe, we switch to 2000's slightly less clinical Kid A; the warm keyboards of "Everything in Its Right Place" thaw the kids out a bit. The kid who specifically requested Sean Paul begins drawing what looks like a giant stalk of asparagus. But let's not peek. So as not to lord over the artists, we snoop around Mitsi's classroom a bit, particularly the official rules for Room 14. Thom Yorke would be in blatant violation of several of these, including "Don't fidget," "Be helpful," and particularly "Keep negative ideas to yourself." After the droning, horn-blasted dirge of "The National Anthem," we throw caution to the wind and toss on OK Computer's truly psychotic guitar freakout "Paranoid Android," which leads to The Bends' far sweeter "High and Dry," which the class seems to like the best. We consider playing Radiohead's debut fluke alt-rock smash "Creep," but the kids might recognize it, and it's profane besides. Instead, perhaps "Anyone Can Play Guitar" will inspire them. Unlikely. Returning to Hail to the Thief for the grand finale, Mitsi's announcement that "Sail to the Moon" will be our last song earns a chorus of "Yessss" and several robust fist-pumps. Thom has made few fans. Ah, but the experiment yields about thirty stark, black-and-white Radiohead interpretations that represent the purest, most honest take on the band you'll find anywhere. The kids will now take over; for the rest of you, Radiohead is playing Shoreline Amphitheater Tuesday night. Call ahead before bringing art supplies.

Children draw Radiohead part 2 i've realised there were some pdf files as well, so i just extracted the pictures from them and see what i got :o these bigger pictures are scary as hell (though some of them are positive). imagine little kids and their minds when they were drawing all this...jeez http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/7524/music1seite1bild0001yp5.jpg http://img455.imageshack.us/img455/8739/music2seite1bild0001gb9.jpg http://img455.imageshack.us/img455/7781/music3seite1bild0001my4.jpg http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/2224/music4seite1bild0001uw7.jpg http://img417.imageshack.us/img417/9472/music5seite1bild0001cg2.jpg http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/9530/music6seite1bild0001fb6.jpg http://img426.imageshack.us/img426/3013/music7seite1bild0001fh5.jpg http://img435.imageshack.us/img435/4640/music8seite1bild0001ug6.jpg http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/4109/music9seite1bild0001jv6.jpg http://img434.imageshack.us/img434/5083/music10seite1bild0001kg9.jpg http://img450.imageshack.us/img450/9036/music11seite1bild0001at4.jpg

shit, i forgot Sam! how the f could i? hall of fame v. 3.0!!! Sam - one of those who didn't lose their good taste in music during listening to Coldplay's X&Y. young, but smart and sarcastic :smartass:

HA! random? your random comments lead to off topics...mostly na bye, i'm pretty tired of arguing with you, i have better things to do

and what about "Muse love" ??? :uhoh2: this forum would be un-museish without you, Ren and Lera :stunned: how are you doing Bonita?

and then can i ask you to leave the music, multimedia and the other good sections without your comments? :rolleyes: when someone's asking for an upload in multimedia and you reply with one of your random quotes, that can be annoying as hell...:rolleyes:

wikipedia writes a lot about that here's a quote:

i was criticising Coldplay, not slagging off. get the difference at last, jeez :rolleyes:

huh?

nah, we'll do. we could get along in the last 2-3 months without slagging each other or something...i think, we could even make some respectful conversations, right Mark? i guess, we'll get along. won't we?

^ if you wouldn't notice i'm doing exactly the same as you do you piss off many members with your posts which contain humour and smilies, i piss off you with my humour. HA! na bye!

you do give a tiss, if you quoted it :laugh3: i guess if you feel unloved because you didn't make the "hall of fame", well i feel sorry for you
