 Post subject: Eisley and MozartPosted: Sat Apr 07, 2007 3:41 am 
Y' know I was playing around the other day, explaining to my friend why Eisley was better than DCFC (or at least in my opinion) and then I said "Death Cab is like Handel... but eisley is like Mozart." After that though, Ithought a little bit about it and discovered a surprising number of parellels: Both started at a youthful age, their fathers both had a big hand in their touring (kinda managed them), both were taught how to play their instruments by their parents.. Jus' something to fool around with. Any others?

The thing about Mozart is that he wrote a jillion compositions in his head and transcribed them without a single eraser mark, knowing exactly what each piece would sound like before it was played.  _________________ my name's carrie and i love a good sandwich so if you have a sandwich, come roll with me!

yeah... but you kinda have to feel bad for Mozart's sister. She was an excellent musician, but he overshadowed her. |

okay, I get it.. you like handel better than mozart.. or Death Cab better than eisley, not sure. I happen to like eisley better than death cab and Mozart better than Handel. Although, I like Beehthoven better than both of them.. perhaps he's Neutral Milk Hotel or the Beatles? |

I like Handel better than Mozart. But I'm a Bach guy. Bach is Bach. _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that Handel drives me nuts because every time I have to play Hallelujah chorus I get queasy. And I play it once a year, singing in chorus and trombone in band... oh, this year I did it in orchestra, too.  _________________ my name's carrie and i love a good sandwich so if you have a sandwich, come roll with me!

You all don't know what you are talking about. The best classical composer is obviously Tchaikovsky. In fact, now that I think about it, Eisley is a lot like Tcaikovsky. Not in life stories, but as for as their music is concerned. Not that I can explain exactly how, but it fits. _________________
