Of all the subjects in all the world, I am probably most ignorant about music. Well. Science and music. Which is funny, right? Because science and music are exact opposites. It’s actually kind of nice not knowing anything about music, because not knowing about music means I don’t have any art wanker opinions about music, and not having any art wanker opinions about music means I don’t have to write any art wanker opinions about music, and not writing about music means I can just enjoy it.
March was a rough month for me, a month that would have been completely devoid of magic if the Sorting Hat hadn’t sorted a Gryffindor into my life who loves music like Albus Dumbledore loves music. Mostly she’s been teaching me about Iceland. You know, the country with the actual elves. We’ve been listening to a lot of Sigur Ros, and so my most played albums of March were Ágætis byrjun, Rímur, ( ) and Takk...
Glósóli is my favorite song from any of the albums, ‘cause, well, see for yourself:
I’m like that little Neville Longbottom at the very end. Only he finally jumped and I’m still standing here.

Actually, music and science are very closely connected, and they intersect at a branch of physics known as acoustics.
Every time anyone mentions Iceland, I think of Mighty Ducks 2 (stick with me) because the team they have to beat is from Iceland and Gordon Bombay tries to get all up on some chick from Iceland but in the end I think he makes out with the team's teacher instead because USA! USA! USA!
The end.
Sigur Ros is always a good choice. "Gobbledigook" is a favorite of mine.
And now Jennie is going to have me going, "Quack!... Quack!... Quack! Quack! Quack!Quack!Quack!" all day, so thanks for that.
Thank you very much, Mr. Ducksworth. Quack quack quack quack quack, Mr. Ducksworth.
Flying V!!!
This blog and its people and comments bring me so. much. happiness. all the days. Today I can't contribute, I can only be grateful.
Knowing about music makes you smarter in everything you could ever possibly do in life. Knowing about music makes people better at math, science, sports, making movies, writing, sex . . . basically anything with rhythm in it. And luckily, knowing about music doesn't mean you have to be a douchebag, although some people seem to think it's a requirement.
Anyway, that's what I think.
Reckon you'll have to tutor me in music too, Ashley!
