Elton John about 2CELLOS

SquidCap says...

Apocalyptica... It's a bit different but one does not talk about rocking with cello without crediting them for figuring out that cello is the guitar on any orchestra.

Neil deGrasse Tyson on genetically modified food

This is exactly right.

"GMO" is agriculture taken almost to its purest form. We're rewriting the sheet music now rather than simply conducting the orchestra, but the end product is still to produce the symphony.

Instead of selecting for desirable traits over generations to get what we want, we can create it directly.

The problem, of course, is that some entities will and are using this new tool to do harm. If someone wants to protest that, I'll be right there with them, but don't ban hammers just because they can be used to hurt people. We have houses to build.

Farm animals weren't engineering by NATURE and NATURAL SELECTION, we did that shit. Bananas, wheat, dogs, horses, you name it, none of them exist now as they would without human intervention. Hell, there was a recent Top 15 video about his very subject.

We've been doing this for centuries and we've just gotten better at it.

Why do it? The yields might not be astronomical, but in lots of cases they enable some yield over nothing.

Should there be strong regulatory oversight? Of course, same way there is for any commercially produced food.

But the fact is, it's going to happen, and anyone who opposes it is pissing in the wind.

The Call Of Ktulu ☻ Warsaw Guitar Orchestra

ChaosEngine says...

I think I upvoted the idea more than the execution.

It was a fairly straight cover that didn't really explore the possibilities of a "guitar orchestra".

I suppose I was hoping for something clever using guitars to mimic the drums and bass, and maybe some kind of dual harmonic lead.

Thought the solo was kinna cheesed as well. Also would add that there are more than a few of the ensemble lacking that spark of soul to render the passion and depth of the piece, there could be a future Hetfield in the mix and if you check it, it's probably the one or two who have their feet planted firmly in some real blues.

americas wars of aggression-no justice-no peace

Yeah, Iraq was a virtual paradise under Saddam, what with the rape rooms, the training of terrorists, the gassing of Kurds, the execution of losing soccer players, the human shredding machines, and Somalia...the warlords were doing a great job feeding everyone equitably. Hitler had all those Jews in one or two places, too where they could be in an orchestra and live out the rest of their lives together with their families.
