Am I sad?

Post by Manus Celer Dei »

Ok, on my snazzy little mp3 player which I almost always have with me, I have a folder entitled "Imperial March". In said folder I have 4 different version of the March. I dont think there is anything wrong with this, but a lot of my friends find it very, very sad. What do you think?

Not sad. I bump that shit rolling down town with the windows down. That and staying alive, another one bites the dust and other songs. :D

Ya don't have the Metallica version on there?


It's not sad. They're sad.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Yay, a music thread! Goes in AMP.

The Imperial March isn't sad; it's badass! Your friends are weird. :p

One of my friends claimed that my collection of SW soundtracks were sad. I then asked him to give me the beginning and ending themes to every major series of Gundam.

Currently in the minidisc player:

disc that includes: two version of the imperial march, several theme songs to shows that have been demoted to sci-fi, ABBA, and Cowboy Bebop goodness.

Oh yeah.

The sadness... is ABBA.

Bah, the original is good enough. I don't need remixes of THAT song.
But it is by no means sad.

I watch a fair amount of college basketball (Rock Chalk!), and all the pep bands play the Imperial March, and usually several times throughout a game. Good song = not sad.

As well, in a culture with 37 shades of beige (oatmeal, flax, khaki, tan...), it's good to be quirky. If it makes you feel any better, I have five copies of Big Country's album, The Crossing. Cassette, CD, and 3 vinyl. Same songs in the same order on all -- the only difference is the color of the covers (US, blue; UK, green; Japanese, red).

Hell, I still listen to cassettes from time to time. Now that's sad!
