to girl on the bus: nyah to you because i know what a pentatonic scale is and because i don't have to arse about with singing and ostinato-ing and playing piano in canon with myself and i know the people that put you through that nonsense and have already seen all of the way through them. and the reason that you have to study half of the things you're studying is just that there would be nowhere to put old musicologists if not in front of a class of students who are only there at pain of not graduating. i would suggest that you deflate your smugness substantially, if only so you stop giving performances from your Kodaly exam repertoire on public transport and making an arse of yourself.

and you have an ugly poncho. good luck in that exam.
