Anybody Wanna Take A Final?

May 13th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in classical music

Oh god - can’t focus. It’s the last exam for the class which I have to take for my stupid grant on Thursday, so I have to remember large unnecessary diagrams full of acronyms and numbers and crap:

When what I really want to do is go play Mario Kart write sexy articles about classical music for you all to read.

Incidentally, the first google image result for “sexy classical music” (which I am sure is a frequently conducted search) is this album cover in which the model has failed to notice that the dragon has escaped from her left breast and is now attempting to steal her violin:

Which is clearly a cheap trick to entice non-classical listeners (as it is blatantly one of those lame “Best Of!!!!!!” albums featuring the unique two minute versions of various pieces) into buying. In fact, if you take a look at the Amazon page for this, you will find there are whole series of these covers:

The 2nd in the series also claims to be “The Greatest Moments Ever” which would be a pretty devastating revelation had you bought the first feeling sure that you owned all of the good bits in the classical repertoire.

Then we have Sexy Beethoven Lady going for the ever-fashionable melting-piano-on-torso look:

“So, like, how do you want me to pose for this one?”, “Well, just hold onto this baton while I draw a piano on your stomach with my injured left hand. Perfect. That *screams* Beethoven”

My god. I just spent half an hour discussing naked Best-Of chicks instead of studying. That’s it. No more. If you want to see the covers for the Mozart and Opera ones scoot over to Amazon.
