Yes pianoloverus, you started the last thread like this.  -Newly found recording of Rachmaninoff playing Alkan -New Sitcom coming out entitled "Fred and Chuck"! -This thread is devoted to Liszt because it's 2011 (two days later after the previous thread disappears to the zillionth page of topics) -Hey! It's 2011! Let's devote a thread to Liszt! -Liszt's music is just showy and not musical -John Cage's 4:33 -John Cage's music BESIDES 4:33 -Bach: the ultimate jazzer! -Oscar Peterson: the ultimate classicaler! -Most beautiful classical pianist -Does anybody else hope the Seattle Seahawks win the Super Bowl? -Zimerman's piano bench destroyed!! -Learn to play Chopin through subliminal mp3's while you sleep

Yes. Not gonna happen.

Yes. Not gonna happen. Probably won't, but IF it did, that would be the most hilarious thing ever. Who's your pick to win?

Yes. Not gonna happen. Probably won't, but IF it did, that would be the most hilarious thing ever. About as unlikely as any reference to Rachmaninov playing Prokofiev 3. (Can you imagine it just the same?) But 'hilarious'? That's an odd choice of word.

Yeah! For starters, I'd be REALLY happy for them... But I mean, they had a losing record in the regular season and win the Super Bowl. Maybe I should say "ironic". But Americans might sometimes use the world "hilarious" in slightly different senses for the word besides what it regularly means. Or maybe I just chose the wrong word to use.

Yes. They kicked our sorry butts (Rams) but I don't think they can make it past New Orleans.

I like threads that fall into the category of news announcements or reports of interesting projects. Things like Denk/Isserlis at the 92nd Y, Ravinia broadcasts on Medici.tv, the "They Came to Play" video (which I bought and enjoyed very much!), information on editions, historical knowledge our members share, the recording forums, e-citals, the Mozart fingering thing we did, audition and recital programming advice, etc... My least favorite threads are: Any topic with "vs." in the title. Any topic with "favorite" in the title. Any topic that consists solely of someone posting a YouTube video. Basically, any topic that reminds me of the Chris Farley Show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTsdIYI1dY4
