Is this Toccata and Fugue?? I can't tell.

>> ^Equilibrionist:
I know this because I've seen people cut the fish open


Are you certain that fish was dead?

And from my little bit of research, it's not 7 years of school. The have to have a three year apprenticeship. Big difference.

Remember when Homer ate one? http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Simpsons-Go-To-A-Sushi-Restaurant-Homer-eats-Fugu

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'."

just like the guitar store in wayne's world, they need a sign on this organ:

WARNING:
No Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
Absolutely no exceptions.

Maybe he ate some fugu.

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?

Bach's Toccata & Fugue i d minor (I think) - great piece.

Also... a "best person" would indeed be nice

This is an artificial reproduction of the experience of synesthesia, not dissociative fugue. Dissociative fugue is when one forgets their relationships and who they are, usually as the mind's only way to escape an unbearable life (troubled marriage, etc.). The condition is cured when the person is faced with someone from his past life and his brain is forced to recall.

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

I'm so jealous of you guys for getting to try it. I'm a complete FANATIC for sushi, and have read many accounts of the wonders of Fugu.

Then again, here in Nova Scotia real wasabi is impossible to get, so Fubu is beyond unimaginable. I wonder about Vancouver, to whence I may be travelling in the fall...?

I've seen baby fugu for sale in Japan in pet-fish shops. They are really cool looking!!! They look almost perfectly square, like dice!

My friend was thinking of keeping pet fish and really wanted to start with fugu. He and his wife have an often stormy relationship.
So we spent some time checking out pet-fish shops and the baby fugu.
He was telling me about a fight he'd had with his wife that morning.
And as a joke I said,
"With the kind of relationship you have with your wife you may not want to keep fugu around the house. You never know if she would drop one of the babies in your curry-rice at dinner....ha ha ha...."
He then looked like he was thinking about it seriously and said,
"Yeah, good point" without a hint of joking!
He never did buy any fugu for his fish tank!

I have a young son and wouldn't dream of keeping pet fugu just in case my son got too curious.

I've eaten it, several times. The sashimi fugu was rather flavorless, but the fugu nabe (nabe is like stew) was good.

There are a couple of deaths every year in Japan because some fool gets a hold of a whole fugu and thinks he/she can prepare it correctly.

"Fugue state" blew me away. Guy gets on a train, has no memory... but doesn't KNOW it yet?? He's in a state of total amnesia, but because no one has told him that he is, he just does stuff. Wow.

it's a nice melody. someone wrote a fugue with it.
