Drums are cool
We're at Lana and Sonya's place watching Ghost In the Shell right now, and I'm reminded by the soundtrack that drums are cool. When I was in college I took a music course that was ostensibly about oral tradition musicianship, but was actually just a chance to spend a term learning how to play the djembe and other percussion instruments.
Lately I've been hooked on the intense game Frequency for PS2. I'm beginning to realize part of its hook is that even though most of the musical lines one plays in the game are melodic, the input scheme is completely percussive. Now all I have to do is find some more friends with PS2 broadband adapters and Frequency. Even better would be catching the Duke of Belgian Waffles online, but I haven't even unlocked the Expert version of "Science Genius Girl" yet.
