Toccata and Fugue in D Minor | Johann Sebastian Bach.
I wonder how long it took to practice this shit
DRIFT COMPATIBLE, BABY
i just want to zip back in time and show this video to Bach like look at this shit some day hundreds of years in the future there will be a gigantic flat piano made of lightning and processed dinosaur juice and two future girls will be so passionate and talented that they play your song by dancing it out and people all over the world will see it and be so fucking excited isn’t that the coolest thing ever
Okay, so I did go to Target, which is very nearby, since I needed flour and cough syrup. And I ended up in line directly in front of THE MOST EXCITED CHILD EVER. They were doing all their Halloween shopping and he was SO STOKED FOR HALLOWEEN.
I’m standing in line with my sad collection of groceries and suddenly something soft brushes against my leg and I’m like….THE FUCK
I turn around and there is a TINY CHILD with a fake spider THE SAME SIZE AS HIM
“DID I SCARE YOU? HALLOWEEN IS SO SOON, DID I SCARE YOU?”
I look up and make eye contact with his mother who is…the MOST embarrassed for her three-foot-tall proto-goth child
Me: YES. SO SCARY. OH MY. WHAT A BIG SPIDER. Him: HE’S THE SCARIEST. HALLOWEEN IS SO CLOSE! Me: Is it your favorite? Him: *screaming* YES IT IS. I’M GOING TO BE SPIDER-MAN. Me: *eye contact with his mother* Good. Spider-man is great and Halloween is THE BEST. Him: *EXCITED INCOHERENT SHRIEKING* His mother: *mouthing* thank you
And then as I left I leaned over and said “You have the best Halloween ever.”
Honestly I remember being the most excited ever about Halloween as a child. So I kind of feel like an elder who just blessed the youngest member of our tribe with a lifetime of Halloween joy.
And then I came home and passed out for a little while, but soon I will make cookies. Soon.
I’m helping out a fellow Finnish artist who had a very unfortunate thing happen to her. A design shop called the Arctic Design Shop in Rovaniemi Finland sold her thesis work by accident and she needs it back!
The work was sold to an American girl who can have the sculpture back right after the maker has finished her thesis! She only needs it for the exhibition. The maker has asked if the shop has the buyers information but they don’t.
Please spread this and contact the email if you have any information about the whereabouts of the statue!
Like. Supposedly it’s really popular? The numbers don’t lie. But I haven’t seen or heard a single person actively talk about or recommend it. It’s got that weird combination of incredible success and zero cultural impact.
