If the female channel is "Femme", the male channel should surely be "Dude".


No way man.

It should be DUUUUDE.

That would be righteous.

Why not get angry about the comments about Tamara Beraia's performance?

I prefer her performance to Huangci's, but I knew it would be hard for people to see past her goofy body language. Somebody there has already made fun of her appearance -- with a little poking, I'm sure you could start a real argument.

If you're searching for things to get righteously feminist about, I think you'll find classical music to be a treasure trove of chauvinism.

There's the embarassing objectification of all female instrumentalists on their album covers: http://sdf.org/l/5ee

There's the fact that until the innovation of blind auditions, women had a hard time getting positions in orchestras: http://sdf.org/l/5ef
(I apologize for Prof. Rouse's being a woman. I don't have time to find an equivalent article by a male to satisfy your demand that women's work not be showcased.)

I apologize for being a pre-70s feminist. I naïvely believe a good way to advance the cause of women is to show them as the equals and superiors of men in as many traditionally masculine fields as possible. I'm sure your method of whining about vocabulary and jumping at opportunities to distort the intentions of others will advance the rights of woman much further.

Please do start a "mascule" channel so that you can mock men by posting videos of them playing piano.

That'll show us.

quality the hell out of this video.
This should definitely be put in the femme channel BECAUSE the pianist is a woman. That is quite an accomplishment and that's exactly what that channel is there for.

LOL! So explain to me why isn't there a "male" channel so we can put every video that has males in it in that category? Nice double standards.

If you want a "Male" channel, then why don't YOU start one? All you need to do is become a Bronze Diamond member, but insofar as starting one, no one else has stepped up to the plate.

And Gyruss' game music!! From history.dat: "One of the most memorable features of this game is its soundtrack, which consists of an extremely catchy synthesized rendition of Bach's 'Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor'."

Yeah, its just the Toccata of the Toccata and Fugue... actually, one of my favorite clips ever sifted is the Fugue being played on accordian;

by-the-by, is this show nearly as smug and smarmy as the shows he makes fun of, or is it just me?

wow, thats remarkable music. the F# to high B soloist does sound incredible.

story reminds me how Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D-minor (his most famous work?) was likely simply attributed to him by a student of one of his students... ahh yes, wikipedia agrees with me, so you know its gotta be true! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toccata_and_Fugue_in_D_Minor
