Don’t believe ’em!

It might be a legitimate site, but it’s not, as far as I can tell, about myspace, nor are they free songs. If someone knows different, please do tell!

“Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age” includes a notable role for the rarely-used bass oboe. Patrick McFarland moaned on the instrument and made it sound like a big, sad duck, alone on a placid lake. Soon a giant clock starts ticking in the sky, counting down the seconds till, in a section marked “animato,” any sense of lucidity and reason are beyond reach, and the music slips into pleasantly dissonant dementia.

From here.

(I do wonder if I’ll ever slip into a pleasantly dissonant dementia.)

Good? Bad? I dunno!

“Clay Aiken once played an oboe.”

Yes. I just read that here.

(For those of you who don’t know, Aiken was on American Idol at some point.)

Hmmm. So what does this mean?

You tell me.
