The first instrument I learned to play was the accordion, so I am well acquainted with love it or hate it instruments. I happen to love bagpipes, and most of the other instruments everyone else dislikes. The only one I really can't stand is melodica.
Nowadays, when I think of bagpipes, I think of Alex and Annie's wedding.

Llama, Mongoose and I listened to Mike Oldfield's Ommadawn on the way back to the Dayton airport to cap off a really awesome weekend. Good times. :cloud9:

Me! Me!

This will take a lot of thought though, which I'm not currently capable of.
Here is a Frank Zappa quiz to see if you can name all of the albums. I made it a couple years ago. :P

Yes, there are currently 141 of them (that I know of). :scared:

I say blast, because I could clearly hear it through the hallway, and the quality was excellent. :P

I suppose you're right. I'll save the blasting for 2112. :drums:

I've never heard of this band.


Post-rock band from Iceland. It's... not for everyone. But this is my favorite song by them and gives you a good idea of what they're like. I find that it's excellent music for focusing and writing.
Funny you mention them, I was just over at a friend's house playing board games, and her husband was in the other room blasting Sigur Ros on his pretty stellar sound system.

They've got some good music for sure, though I only have one of their albums (Valtari).

He suggested the use of turquoise, but didn't used it in either of his rainbow lists.

Amazing! If I recall, you only had the first half or so as recently as a couple months ago.

Y'all can count on several rainbow lists from me in the near future.
