Les Mis, And Other Audio Horrors
Nov. 23rd, 2009 02:31 am[WARNING: I will not take responsibility for the state of your eardrums.]
There are Les Mis recordings all over the internet, of both professional and amateur performances - and of much, much better quality than what a Nokia Music Xpress 5800 is capable of recording - but just how many files are there of practices, as heard from... under the chair of the first trombonist? ROFL.
Master of the Slide
With parts like these, who wants to be onstage? Give me the sliiiide anytime. Haha. God, we have far too much fun with the gliss.
And in the unlikely event that anyone's actually paying attention (yes, this means you, Arachnophobe ;) - why're you even reading this, instead of your Brick?), a little digging around in my HD unearthed a very old, very bad, very scratchy recording made in the privacy of a certain bathroom somewhere:
The Holy - What?
I'll say this much: Gordon doesn't sound like a damn trombone. A whiny giant mosquito, maybe. LOL.
Obligatory bad trombone jokes:
I swear all this is true.

What's the best kind of trombone?
A broken one!
Q: How do you make a trombone sound better?
A: Run it over with a lawnmower.
How can you make a french horn sound like a trombone?
1. Take your hand out of the bell and lose all sense of taste.
2. Take your hand out of the bell and miss all of the notes.
What is the dynamic range of a bass trombone?
On or off.
Why do people play trombone?
Because they can't move their fingers and read music at the same time.
A guy walks up to the band director and inquires about joining the band. The director says,"Sure, you can join the trombone section." The guy replies, "But I don't play the trombone." "Well," the director replies "Neither does anyone in our trombone section!!!"
Why are trombones the best lovers?
Trumpets do it with three fingers, baritones do it with four, and trombones do it in seven positions!
What do the letters pp mean to a trombone player?
1. An opportunity for an improvised solo.
2. A polite reminder that he has been playing too loud for the past 5 minutes.
What do you call a guy who knows how to play a trombone and doesn't?
A gentleman.
I swear all this is true.
