For Elmo on fire
This is really funny. The scary thing is that it keeps going for ages! It's like Chucky. I swear it is the devil incarnate!

Random music quiz cos I was bored, so there!
The Technical Basics
1.Do you play any musical instruments?
I play the clarinet, attempt to play the saxophone and play cornet extremely badly
2.Do you own any musical instruments?
I own a clarinet named Benny, a very shiny pretty tenor saxophone named Stan and a recorder that has mould inside of it
3.What instrument do you most want to learn?
I wanna play piano but noone will teach me, dammit. And I probably should get out that cornet again and actually practice before someone I know tells me off! :)
4.Sexiest instrument?
Tenor Saxophone
5. Can you read proper shape notes rather than tabs?
Yes. Tab is for losers.
6.Do you know your scales?
Um, major ones. Minor ones are overrated…damn minor third. Pfft!
7.Do you have perfect pitch or know anyone that does?
No, I don’t, but I’m hoping this will change once I get better at pitching on brass instruments. Yes, there’s this freak of nature cellist at uni that has perfect pitch. I hate her – or more to the point, I’m jealous of her.
