crappy Music Has Helped Moron Through Hardest Times In His Pointless Life

CLEVELAND—Praising the incredible healing power of terrible art, local moron Todd Beram credited crappy music with helping him through some of the hardest times in his pointless life, sources confirmed Wednesday. “During some of my lowest moments, when I feel like I just want to disappear or that I can’t possibly go on, I always put on my favorite record, and for a moment, everything feels all right,” said Beram, the absolute fool of a man, who stated he felt “less alone” knowing that millions of other drooling idiots had taken comfort listening to the same insufferable songs for decades. “Whenever I hear those lyrics, it’s like someone’s reading my mind. It gives me so much strength knowing someone’s gone through the exact same struggles I have.” At press time, the 34-year-old dipshit added that he would go so far as to say the Smiths had saved his life.

"The N G Troll Song"
Copyright 1997 DRMJ
(sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells")

Dashing through the posts; laughing all the way.
Making people pissed; running from their flames.
Pulling all their strings; giving them a fit.
Calling them a name or two, 'cause I don't give a poo!  ...(hey,)

Chorus:
N G Troll; N G Troll; Newsgroups all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to be a usenet troll today.

Spamming through the threads; typing all the way.
Telling people off; screwing up their day.
E-mail in my box; nothing good to say.
All the posters wish me dead...but I ain't dead today!  ...(hey,)

Chorus: (same)

Losers on the net; waiting for a fight.
I can't win a one; 'cause I'm never "right".
Everything I say...comes back with some sass.
Even if I shut my mouth...to them I'd be an ass!
..(hey,)

Chorus: (same)

"Boobs" and insults reign; jokes and humor rule.
Why I waste my time?; that's a good one too.
If I had a life; if you want the truth...
Then I'd be a jackass and be boring just like you!  ...(hey,)

Chorus: (same/2 times)
N G Troll; N G Troll; Newsgroups all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to be a usenet troll today.

Most of freedom and of pleasure

So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision

I think he's gone a long way with getting the measure of you.
You wouldn't kick against him so readily otherwise.

Cocksucking as a self-realisation is a dreadful affliction. Used to be edgy. Now it's all the undergraduates trying on the permutations.
Whispy pony tailed cocksucking grandpas like you are practically fascist. The world has moved on - if you are not transgender you are an oppressor. Gays, feminists - you are the oppressors, ya bastards!

Tamino - The First Disciple
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf0MEW_Z9w8

My old friend, these poems that you preach
They're being wasted as you speak
Remind me once more how they came to be your calling
Do you even know you're falling?
You know that for you I'd give an arm
I'm one of few that never meant you harm
And I heed you
Like I heed fire and thunder
But from time to time I wonder
And lately I did wonder
Ooh, if you did it all
To make you feel desired
Did it all to make you feel admired
For love to replace your shame
That's quite the group that you have gathered now
Most of them, they just want you somehow
They would pay any price to kiss your skin
Don't tell me that is loving
You know that don't mean nothing
You know, you must know
And yet you give it all
To make you feel desired
Give it all to make you feel admired
For love to replace your shame
You give it all
To make you feel desired
Give it all to make you feel admired
For love to replace your shame
For love to replace your shame
For us to praise your name
Now my friend, I won't forget
The darkness blinding me before we met
It's all I need to remember you
As the light you were
Even though for sure
You won't remember me
No, you won't remember me
Ooh, I'm afraid that no amount of fame
Will ever wash away the shame
Of knowing not how to love your only friend
Who will love you till the end

But where’s the tune to go with that ?

Anyhow, don’t you know how to list your requirements into Google/Safari or whatever you use? Next time try something subtle like ‘Hairy Sluts on Heat’ or if the fancy takes you “Hung and Hairy Bears’ You’ll be XXXXfing all over your iPad or whatever in no time.

Handel - Ombra Mai Fu / Nathalie Stutzmann · Orfeo 55
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB44ehylkbk

Libretto/Lyrics

Frondi tenere e belle
del mio platano amato
per voi risplenda il fato.
Tuoni, lampi, e procelle
non v'oltraggino mai la cara pace,
né giunga a profanarvi austro rapace.

Ombra mai fu
di vegetabile,
cara ed amabile,
soave più.

English Libretto or Translation:

Tender and beautiful fronds
of my beloved plane tree,
let Fate smile upon you.
May thunder, lightning, and storms
never disturb your dear peace,
nor may you by blowing winds be profaned.

Never was a shade
of any plant
dearer and more lovely,
or more sweet.

Sadly only recorded on a mobile camera - ? - but an absolutely staggering performance.

Staggering! If I’d been in Notre Dame when this was unleashed I doubt I’d have ever recovered. No idea what Dobois was portraying but the Anti-Christ comes to mind & I’m not even a believer. A young man to be watched - possibly as a risk to your sanity.

Jan 1979 I was in Notre Dame 5.00pm on a Sunday, heard the organ recital there. Out of this world!

Only better one was walking into Chartres Cathedral late in a winter day and the organist was practicing something, Monteverdi I think, then walking back to the front of the cathedral the sun shining straight on the marvellous rose window and the music almost visibly surging from front to back to front again of the cathedral was powerfully moving.

We do not need god, we need more beauty like that in the world.

Even if belief in God is a delusion many need the ‘certainty’ otherwise their terror of mortality unhinges them.  Many also fear only the threat of eternal punishment ( or reincarnation as a slug etc in Buddhism ) can induce 'moral behaviour’. The pseudo-academic disciple of Biblical Apologetics has been developed to explain away centuries of theological gibberish in so called holy books.
Unseen by many is the possibility any entity/being/creator of all that exists would be so far beyond our understanding attempts to delineate what such a being is constitutes an overreaching arrogance of vast proportions. On the other hand a claim can be made that if the God of the Bible exists such and entity is a twisted sado-masochist.
However, we also need to admit the ancient necessity of some kind of belief system as a  means of controlling our tribal viciousness. A careful reading of the Old Testament reveals this didn’t always appear to work.

I confess I become annoyed when lovers of music such as Bach,s organ works , cantatas etc  put forward their existance as proof of the reality of a biblical God. Given the states they’re able to induce such beliefs are almost understandable. And let’s not forget J S B himself believed the Almighty was speaking through him. On the other hand, having been an organ scholar myself, I can see how the ability to perform such works can in and of itself appear to be a ‘divine gift’. The rampant sexual molestation of alter boys et al. I witnessed soon disabused me of such notions. I could provide the sordid details of my experiences but this isn’t the place to do so.

I spent a year in my late thirties visiting most of the great organs of Europe, some of which I got to play briefly. Believe me the instrument in Notre Dame has an absurdly difficult touch. How anyone could play that thing day after day and not induce arthritis of the hands is beyond me. Magic indeed but a real struggle.
If you’re ever in Melbourne when there’s an organ recital at Scots Church Collins St try to attend sitting directly opposite the instrument. The acoustics aren’t great but what Rieger & Co achieved here is staggering.

Don't mention it.

And be careful with that razor. Remember what happened to the old circumciser: he slipped and got the sack.

Your mind wanders into some strange areas. Had the snip at age three days so can’t say I feel ever felt any loss. Besides I’ve never much enjoyed playing around with other’s cheese cloths. Your experience may be different.
