Dave Wakeling of the English Beat plays a right-handed guitar left-handed and upside down, thus tuned EBGDAE. This means to make music sound correct he must also invert the sheet music.

The theory that there is music of the spheres has now been determined to be a load of balls.

A well-rounded musician doesn't completely discount this theory, though. Some like to have their π and eat it too.

It takes at least seven years of experience and a $2000+ investment to comfortably play a fat strung bass, tuned D, G, C, F.

Is that $2000 investment in interest bearing securities, dividend paying stocks, or growth stocks? Or is it better invested in a market neutral hedgefund (if you can find one that will take such a small sum)?

Wish it were true. The investment concerns actual hardware, a bass.

Ahhhh, one of those investments, One that is expected to have a negative rate of return.

In one lifetime, you can only ever have three Wishbasses. Choose them carefully. And be sure not to be greedy and ask for a never-ending supply of Wishbasses because all you'll end up with is an infinite number of worthless, slapdash knockoffs.

Meg White has apparently tweeted that, as flattered as she was to be asked to join Rush, she felt she didn't want to dumb down her very economical jazz style at this juncture!

In a traditional military march, the more subdued, contrasting middle section is termed the "trio". Until the late-18th century, the marching soldiers would pause during this section to dance a merry set of steps in groups of three. This practice was abandoned during Napolean's conquest of Europe, the Emperor declaring it both disorderly and "un petit peu bouffant". (The meaning of this comment remains the subject of musicological debate.)
