Besides, there's too much whitey-white music here.

Holy Lord, this is going to take five minutes?! And I thought it would be sexier. I'll spare you, there will be no full frontal.

Yeah, this is a spammy video, but there's some truth to be had here. We're moving toward a renters society and have been for a while now. Companies (especially tech companies) are looking to rent their products as opposed to selling them, such as software subscriptions, etc. Microsoft has been wanting to rent your OS to you for some time now, but they haven't come up with a good model just yet. I don't think I have any proof of this renters society. Mainly because I'm too lazy to go look it up to cite some references for you, so... whatever.

Dgandhi is right (as always!!! )in saying they have lowered their printer costs, because they want to rent the ability to "print" to you by offering proprietary ink cartridges for purchase. I picked up a Canon PIXMA over a year back and paid a reasonable price for it, but the damn thing takes FIVE cartridges and if ONE runs out all printing capabilities come to a screeching HALT. For color I have individual 13 ml cartridges of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black, and for black copies I have a separate black cartridge. So, the color copies and the black (monochromatic) copies use separate cartridges.

And they're each sold separately! Grr! The thing that pisses me off is if the yellow cartridge runs out, let's say, then I can't print in monochromatic. If one cartridge goes out, that's it! Poof! No more printing!

How DARE you gently chide quantummushroom, MG, you poo-pusher!

Seriously? You think this wasn't done in jest? That it's not all in good fun? Maybe you outta take five and come back and read it again. I have absolutely no problem with QM, and this was most certainly done just as a joke. I can't even see how you could take this as ad hom. Maybe next time you ought to fucking ask before making wild assumptions.

I can't stand these videos that force me to take five minutes reading something I could read in one minute were it printed out in front of me. This is not even a video if you ask me. That's why I downvoted.

I don't know if it's kosher to post a "video" clip that's only of a picture, but I'm hoping the song can stand on its own.

Blue Rondo is from Time Out, which was an experimental album. The name of the album is a play on words based on the songs it contains, which have non-standard time signatures. Blue Rondo starts in 9/8, and continues on at an unusual tempo.

Although Take Five is the more well-known piece from Time Out, I enjoy this song for its looser fix on tempo and its overall energetic feel. I'm biased, though: this was also the first jazz piece I ever played.
