Quote (nightspore @ Jan. 20 2011, 18:12) | The word "tune" is really just the part of a piece of music that can be whistled, though: I feel it trivializes the music, as though all the pieces can be reduced to just the whistlable parts of them. |
I know. I did it just to poke you. But actually, Stereolab did name one of their compilations Aluminum Tunes. I think it has a jovial, lighthearted, self-deflating tone, and that's why I like it.
Quote | And without wishing to be even more negative, "Bell Lab" conjures up the same-named technological institution in the US. |
That's why I added the "ta-dum tish"! I was wondering what could complete that title, as in "Tunes from the Bell ____?", and I couldn't let that joke pass.
