Okay...all hope for the human race is gone. I’m checking out! Please, pray tell WHO thought this was a good idea

Exactly.

WHO thought it was a good idea.

Probably nobody thought it was but if you want to stay open you have to bow. The alternative is to be shut down again. It's the governors doing this to us. The answer is overwhelming refusal to bow down but we know that no lefties will join us. They worship lefty governors no matter what they do.

Case in point. Jay Inslee lost hundreds of millions to Nigerian scammers and has not lost personal information of employees and citizens AGAIN. His forests burn down every summer and all the salmon and whales are dying. He will overwhelmingly win in November.

For WA pedes, Culp looks like a damn good bet.

Jay is stacking the deck though, he waived the entry fees for running for governor to dilute the voting pool against him.

That is one of the ways they've made it easier for people to run and it favors the incumbent. The primary ballot this year was enormous and there is not way any voter has the time necessary to go through every candidate. It was ridiculous beyond belief. Some of those running didn't even bother to submit a photo or a statement. Then it just becomes a game of name recognition which favors Inslee.

Fucktarded. If it's "that bad", and health is a priority. Then maybe groups of people shouldn't be congregating to play musical instruments. Especially ones demanding of the respiratory system. I bet you everyone in that room has at least one college degree, and maybe that's part of the problem.

Am professional musician, can confirm. EVERYTHING is cucked.

NYC Met Opera cancelled everything until this time next year. Friends in Italy have been told no performances for over a year. Most ensembles - orchestras, acting groups, dance/ballet troupes - have canceled everything or are operating with bare-bones personnel.

I am not in an orchestra job right now, but have many friends who have lost their salaries completely and have had to look for scraps of work to keep themselves afloat. One based friend lost their apartment, and found trade work at an artists' retreat. If they had not found that they would have been instantly homeless. This person graduated from a top music school.

Since March I have been requested to do multiple "Zoom performances" but I have turned down every one because I spend hours on it every day doing my job as a teacher and I am sick as fuck of it. And that is absolutely not how music should be performed.

In Barcelona, a string quartet performed for a concert hall full of houseplants. My NPC colleagues were cooing over it. It about sent me into a full blown rage!

In the public schools, we are operating in multiple small, socially distanced orchestra groups and all kiddos must wear a mask at all times.

It is sickening. The arts community as a whole is suffering right now. Ok, maybe we aren't the most useful profession, but it's a sacrifice many of us were willing to make and we have been hit really hard. If I wasn't also a teacher I'd be screwed. I am lucky. Hug your artist friends (social distancing be damned!) :)

The arts are more useful than you -- and others -- might realize. It's good to know that there are based musicians out there.

27
ladypede_1776 27 points ago +27 / -0

Well thank you for the kind words. I have to admit that being able to play music and keep myself entertained through this mess has been a blessing.

And about the based musicians - there are more of us than you realize. A sort of silent majority, if you will. I know a harpsichord player - yes, a harpsichord player - who is one of the most based Pedes I know but you'd never know it. We have to stay very quiet, because the arts has some of the most thoroughly cucked people and it is not at all an exaggeration that some of our jobs or our reputation could be in jeopardy if we were found out. But believe me, we exist, we are here, and we are as fed up as everyone else!

Most musicians are based as being a musician is a highly technical field, requires engineering level smarts.

zoom performances

AH yes, nothing quite captures the sound and body of music quite like a built in pinhole laptop mic, compressing it down to 22kHz, and then having it enjoyed through 0.8cm laptop speakers, pointed perpendicularly to the listener, in an acoustically dead kitchen.

14
KnottyJane 14 points ago +14 / -0

I was wondering if anyone would point that out.

I used to play flute in my church every Sunday... When Covid hit and we started doing services online I quit playing because it sounds horrid on video without more advanced equipment.

The one I listened to was almost painful... Crappy acoustics and camera mic distorted the sound horribly.

Don't get yourself down. The arts are essential to human life and even more influential to human progress than science since it sets the beat which society then follows.

We made the mistake of shortchanging the arts before, and that's why the liberals took over all art, media, and Hollywood. Only now are we trying to gain back that ground.

I am close with many professional ballet dancers & can confirm the same thing. Ppl i've known, at the top of their field, who had the same apartment in NYC for 20+ years had to leave and move home for some time.

It's such a shame. Just open the fuck up. They could've been having outdoor concerts everywhere this summer ... central park, tangelwood, jacobs pillow, spac, wolf trap... its absurd what's happening to the arts.

Sorry everyone. There is a good explanation for this. You see, this is all a simulation that I programmed into my brain. None of this is real. I was bored and did it for the lulz. The code had a few glitches and well,,, here we are. The good news is the simulation ends around the first week of November. Then the total annihilation of the democrat party simulation is going to get loaded. You're going to love it!

Holy shit I saw the first pic a few times before but I never noticed THERE'S A MASK AT THE END OF THE CLARINET! I'm laughing so hard right now. There's a fucking cover over the end of the instrument.

Holy fucking shit.

Where do they put these contaminated masks when they're done? Their pocket? The seat of their car? Their purse? The regular trash?

It's so utterly absurd.
