Friday Night Open/Drinking Thread

For a very simplified answer, you should not like Keynes. Obviously this is as biased as me telling you who a good presidential candidate in 2012 is, but that is my belief.

For a more detailed answer, I would look up anything with the keywords Austrian Business Cycle Theory, Hans-Hermann Hoppe Keynes, Ludwig von Mises Keynes, or Friedrich Hayek Keynes. ABCT is the most concise explination, IMO, especially if you're talking about Keynes' most famous positions about fiscal stimulus and the like.

I'd gladly answer a more specific (i.e. esoteric) question, but Keynes is no less a polarizing figure than Obama (or any other sitting politician, he's just the guy in charge so I picked him), and I don't want to offend a bunch of MGoReaders (which I've probably done already).

is traditionally marked at WWI.  Michigan music theory courses end and begin at this juncture.  Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring is also up there as a big piece that helped spark the movement.  A key element is the elevation of rhythm and rhythmic motives to a position equal to, if not greater than, the traditional hegemony of melody.

Musical experiences to me are more vivid if I had a part in performing them.  For example, I got to accompany two performances of The Nutcracker when I was in high school, and those are memories that I will carry with me for a lifetime.  A close second would be pieces that I analyzed in music theory class and actually understood--Beethoven piano sonatas are traditionally analyzed by second-years at Michigan for their fine treatment of the classical sonata form.  Classically trained musicians love virtuoso electric guitar solos as much as anybody, but a more detailed understanding usually allows one to appreciate more kinds of music.  The aesthetics of, for example, Webern are very hard to understand unless one spends time parked in front of a score tracing out the tone rows and cross-checking against a recording.

I've been bad at listening to classical music since I graduated and became a pre-med.  I still love it and have lists of my favorite pieces in my head, but my motivation to listen to it has been lessened.  Part of that is because I haven't found the time to transfer my collection from my old, junky laptop to my new laptop.  But your question still stands.  I've been listening to a lot of Zero 7 lately.  They're best known for "In the Waiting Line" in the movie Garden State and I find their aesthetic very relaxing.  I love Aphex Twin, they're hard-core electronica.  Pet Shop Boys is softer, more tuneful R&B-styled electronica with a good dose of goofy Britishness.  

Touchdown Manningham!

I was in the Sparty student-section for that game and I couldn't believe that play Crable made.  He got beat bad on one side of the field and somehow caught Ringer 50 yards downfield on the opposite sideline.  Crable was an incredible athlete.

Very spoiled. We get it here on the West Coast pretty regularly. Awesome brew. Have it in my fridge too..hope I can have one to celebrate tomorrow.
