Clever parallel thing. It took me a minute to figure out where you were going with the Rites of Spring.
I liked this version of BotBotM better than the TMBG original.

Interesting episode, but too much language for my liking.
BTW, I like the ladybugs down below.
Troy
Gooey goodness, just as expected

Hey . . . where’d the ladybugs go?

I randomly caught your latest episode while hunting around the podcasts section of iTunes. A very entertaining time, great arrangement of material and great material. Anti- boring, all of it. Nerdy and neat, the way I like my entertainment. And I see the track list is here which clears up a few of my questions, I have to look in to some of those artists and track down their music. Thank you for assembling it and making it available to hear.

Also: The section in “Fantasia” featuring Stravinsky’s “Rites of Spring” is the intense one with the dinosaurs being wiped out, not the cute one with the mushrooms. The Fred Astaire- like funghi are featured in a section from Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker Suite”, Chinese Dance. And wow, you gotta love these internets with the young people these days, here it is!

OK, Bec (or anyone), explain what the “parallel thing” is with the Rite of Spring. Please?
Great show, btw.
