I think this is one of the best secrets on network tv. I don't know anyone watching it. I love it.

I watch it in secret. I think it's my favorite show on TV right now.

I watched a field meet last night. What is that USA runner that is crushing people?

Once Upon a Time is awesome. Only 5 or so episodes in! It's a guilty pleasure!

Although, nothing overshadows the return of this...

This is awesome but makes me wonder why conductors get so much credit. I know there's so much more into this than i realize but still, to me it seems like his the guy who waves in front of the orchestra with his stick while everyone else is doing the magic.

The orchestra has their notes, why do they need a conductor?

That looks pretty awesome

I may give it a watch

Couldnt find the new episode of the ultimate fighter anywhere, but I finally found an HD version at the.. swashbucklers alcove

@ rauno

I said the same thing way back when I was dating this girl in band. Something to the effect of "I could get up there with a little stick and swing it like an idiot too". She said that it has to do with the harmony. Imagine you have 5 people trying to play an together, it'd be pretty easy for one or two to occasionally be a half second faster or shorter than they were suppose to be right? Now imagine instead of 5 people, that 100 people are playing together. Now you have 20-40 people going off a little bit now and then and it would probably sound terrible. But somehow the conductor is able to keep people in check etc. Or something like that we were close to sexy time so I wasn't really paying attention.

Oh yes! The second book is the best of the bunch, a lot of shit is about to go down.

I look forward to seeing the Iron Islands, and maybe my favorite character from the series, Stannis Baratheon.

It's like an army, it needs a leader. But yeah, they are kinda overrated.
