How would you like 5/4 with triplets? Listen to the drums and then the brass around 1:20.

We did the offertory from Leonard Bernstein’s Mass when I was in marching band, which is in 3/8+3/4. Basically you’d do one slow step for the 3/8 measure, then three fast steps for the 3/4 measure. So it was a slow/fast/fast/fast pattern that still added up to 4 steps every 2 measures.

What you call denying, i call proof that not all people think alike, take muslim culture for example. Ive talked to people in iran and they literally bully women and kill women if they have sex with men without seeking for a marriage. If im looking at whether i get no abortion rights, or get fucking killed because i slept with few too many people, im taking the lack of abortion.

Fair enough. Some (I'd like to say "many") anti-abortion activists are also fascists, and their approach to their anti-abortion activities borrow from fascist philosophy, but it is not true that anti-abortion activism in itself is a fascist thing.

IndividualRule9488 t1_izq34yw wrote

Well as we saw with the other guy, who commented "what a shit fucking take" or whatever the fuck, deleted his account. I cant understand why people dont just talk out their feelings anymore rather than get pissed off because someone's take is different. Which was my exact point throughout my discourse with them. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, people who are Christians do not like abortion. Their religion is against murder which can be said that you are killing/murdering a baby that hasnt been born yet. Its all semantics but in my eyes whichever side has the most votes wins, its not about what one specific group of people want but about what the majority of the US' population agrees on.

I don't see that as funny. You yourself were lamenting the inability of people to talk through their feelings, why should you celebrate the ending of a discourse?

2

IndividualRule9488 t1_izq8ecr wrote

Because when you start a public discourse it usually lasts about that length of time, and usually ends in either an agreement, or an agreement to disagree. With people like that nobody can have opinions of their own. I find it "funny" because of the fact that i myself suffer from a disorder that makes it where i cannot argue my own case from time to time due to my lack of ability to string words together as seamlessly as others. When people talk shit and get all pissy, that is fine to me. But when you decide "im going to block such and such because their views are different than mine", it brings it into a whole different ballfield.

I find 11 is usually easier than a lot of other odd time signatures because it usually ends up subdividing like "3+3+3+2" or "4+4+3" and rather than changing the time signature every 3-4 measures they transcribe into 11. 7 is almost always annoying and hard to find the downbeat if you get lost.

Honestly curious.

kent_eh t1_izofs9g wrote

People simply want you to get to the point and not waffle on about things that aren't relevant to the topic of the video.

Nobody cares that "it's ya boyee" or that this is "another video from my channel", and they certainly don't want to hear begging for "likecommentsubscribe" before being shown anything relevant to their interests.

And returning viewers have already seen that flashy animated graphic, it doesn't add anything to their enjoyment of your video - they came here for the content, not the filler.

.

The teaser intro reassures them that this video is going to be about what they are interested in, so they're less likely to bail out early.

He also did the theme for Mannix, the 1970’s private eye series with Mike Connors.

2

ZorroMeansFox t1_izqr835 wrote

Yes; and Lalo's connection which led to him getting this gig is that the Mission: Impossible TV series was created by the same guy who created Mannix, Bruce Geller.

I've always thought the fly Theme Music to Mannix was the best thing about that show. The rest of the show's music (especially when diegetic) wasn't composed or chosen by Lalo, and it was almost always embarrassingly the opposite of "hip/cool." And that was also true of Mike Connor's character, who thought of himself as suave and irresistible to the babes, but who always came off like someone's dad trying lame moves and smarmy pick-up lines.

I've come to believe that Mannix might be the worst TV detective ever. He took forever to figure out what was going on, even when utterly obvious, he was caught off-guard and jumped almost every episode, he loses most of his fights, his secretary Peggy does most of the investigative heavy lifting, his physical acting always looked stiffly robotic, and he's terrible at trying to make the hard-boiled noir dialogue he's saddled-with sound convincing. Oddly, I've seen Connors in lots of other roles before he became Mannix, and he almost always played the heavy. And he was terrific as a bad guy. But it's leading man parts in a hit series that pay the bills.

A friend of mine had an old classic copy of Mad Magazine from the early '70s, when they parodied the show. They called it Mannuhx, because about the only acting trick Connors seemed to have was adding pauses punctuated by "uh" to give his line-readings some gravitas. Once I read that parody, I've never been able to watch the show without counting all his "uhs."

1

PM_ME_UR_REDPANDAS t1_izqu9nq wrote

I never paid attention to the “uh”s, but I definitely will (I’m sure now that you’ve pointed it out I won’t be able to un-hear them all, lol).

I think one private eye who was definitely worse than Mannix was Barnaby Jones, though. If Peggy did all the legwork for Mannix, Betty and JR (or whatever his name was) definitely did all the heavy lifting for Barnaby.

But the early to mid 70s was the time they were churning out cop/private eye shows like crazy, so yeah, some were bound to be better than others.

2

ZorroMeansFox t1_izqvwf7 wrote

I think Barnaby was a very solid investigator, and maybe the only TV detective to have his own in-office Forensics Lab, which he operated himself.

But that show went into a tailspin in the later seasons when they brought in J.R. to appeal to the youngins and do some running around and athletic moves that Buddy Ebsen (Jed from The Beverly Hillbillies and the original Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz! *) was getting too old to pull off (although he did retain a surprising amount of athleticism, probably because he had a lean, trained dancer's body). But Mark Shera as J.R. might be the single worst actor I've ever seen in a starring part on TV. He's a charisma black hole and seemed less believable than the gang in Scooby-Doo's Mystery Team.

(*Note: Ebsen was originally cast as The Tin Man, but had to be replaced almost immediately by Jack Haley, because Buddy got very sick from breathing the aluminum dust in the character's metallic makeup.)

2

PM_ME_UR_REDPANDAS t1_izqwj9z wrote

Oh, wow, I never knew Ebsen was cast as the Tin Man!

I must have mostly seen the later episodes because I don’t remember Barnaby without JR.

Yeah, the J.R. character was only introduced in the final years. Until then, Buddy was more of a folksy Sherlock Holmes-style intuitive/scientific detective who was a marksman with a pistol.

Isn’t the tune short short long long?

Edit. Looked up the sheet music. Never knew it was 1/8 1/8 1/2 1/2 in the intro. Thought the relevant measure was the 1/4° 1/8 1/4° 1/4°

The Propellerheads' song "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is built around the Morse Code for OHMSS (and the theme from the Bond film obviously).

One of my all-time favorite tracks. It's an entire Bond film in song form.

It’s funny how there is only 1 grammatical error in this title but I still had a stroke trying to read it at first.

That's awesome and checking it with a Morse translator blows your mind and all, but now I'll sing it like MImiMiMImimiMIMImimimi :(

And here I was mistakenly humming the Hawaii 5-0 theme thinking, "Wait a minute, that doesn't fit!"

Old 1970's British Sitcom "Some mother Do 'Ave 'Em" also did that with the theme tune. The tune is the more for the title. My dad didn't notice if for years and he was an avid ham radio operator so when it was pointed out to him it was funny.

Iron Maiden song about an airship disaster has an SOS distress signal in morse code in middle section of the song. So does Metallica's Cyanide intro.

Since we’re naming 5/4 songs now, My Wave by Soundgarden. One of the members, if I remember correctly, said they felt bad for the crowd trying to move to it at live shows

Round here, there's lots of emphasis on "long" or "short". Thank you , Father Freud. Right again.

& that's the long and the short of it.

And "The End" is in view.
