We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

This cracked me right up.

Will we settle on a final list of categories, or will we just pick from the vast lists being provided now?

Corwood will settle on a final list.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

I *love* these categories, but the ones needing actual knowledge of music theory and/or structure may need some handholding. Could I tell you what part of any song is the bridge, without guessing? No. Unless it's the live version of "Sunkeneyed Girl," where he says "this song doesn't have a bridge."

A bridge is the part in the middle of the song, maybe two-thirds of the way through, that doesn't sound like the verse or the chorus.

A typical pop song is structured something like V-C-V-C-B-V-C. This is also known as ABACAB (Holy Genesis, Batman!).

What Jon said. Ray Charles said a good song is all about the middle 8. He broke that rule himself often, but a great bridge is pure transcendence.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Wow. Is that really what that album title was about?

Yes. And it's also the specific chord progression of the song as well.
