I'm of the opinion that <a href="http://xenutv.wordpress.com/">This stuff</a> needs to be shared.

In other news, Shostakovitch is pretty awesome.
<blockquote>
I think it is clear to everyone what happens in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._5_%28Shostakovich%29" title="w:Symphony_No._5_(Shostakovich)">Fifth</a>. The rejoicing is forced, created under threat, as in <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Godunov_%28opera%29" title="w:Boris_Godunov_(opera)">Boris Godunov</a></i>. It's as if someone were beating you with a stick and saying, "Your business is rejoicing, your business is rejoicing," and you rise, shaky, and go marching off, muttering, "Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing."</blockquote>
