Hey Charles real quick but also real important. I’m currently attending The University of the Virgin Islands and I have a new teacher this semester his name is Carlton Holmes.

[@Kekoapono]

The cuts in this sketch are amazingly hilarious!

[@Posark]

I think this piece evokes a lot of deep emotional response in people which can manifest in uncontrollable reactions, such as coughing and gargling and gasping and spitting up. That’s why it is rarely played in public recitals

[@xxManscapexx]

I'm going to be thinking about this the next time I'm at a quiet performance and it's going to ruin my life.

I love it when you make these type of videos, they are just so good.

[@Cchogan]

Some years ago, Tim McDonald, who was a broadcaster, turned up at the studio with tapes he had brought from Russia. Basically, they were from a newly discovered archive from the vaults of Gostele Radio, Moscow that had been opened up with the fall of the Soviet Union. Included in the vast collection were many tapes of live performances of great Russian composers, including many conducted by the composers themselves. But there was a problem. Russia is cold, and we got the impression that Russians were not always in the best of health. There was coughing, hacking, sneezing all through these tapes. It was like something from Monty Python. It was hysterical. But despite that, some of these recordings were incredible. Even some of the very old ones (dating back to the 40s) were stereo, recorded, I guessed, with just a stereo pair. But you got the sense of the hall and the occasion - wonderful. Yet, it is all the coughing that has stayed with me!

[@c.nelson3747]

[@sparkasaurusdonna]

I've never been to a concert yet without it sounding like someone was coughing up a lung. At one symphony concert, pre-covid, audience members near me were openly asking if they needed to call 911 for someone coughing so hard. The struggle is real

There's this album I've been listening to lately, called "Sing To God", by Cardiacs. I thought you might enjoy it. A lot of the songs have some ridiculous chord progressions I thought you might find interesting. I particularly like "Dog like Sparky", "Insect Hoofs On Lassie", "Fairy Mary Mag", "Bellyeye", "A Horse's Tail", "Manhoo", "Dirty Boy", "Odd Even" and "No Gold". They are seriously great songs that deserve more attention. Also, their earlier stuff is what I would call proto-Clowncore, since they would dress up as clowns and play these ridiculous, complex songs. Check out "R.E.S." and "Tarred and Feathered", to see what I mean.
