Doomsday Machine score

edit

Interesting the connection between the Doomsday Machine score and that for Jaws. Have you ever noticed the similarities between the score from Amok Time and Stravinsky's Rite of Spring?THD3 (talk) 14:55, 13 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm actually not familiar with the Stravinsky. Been meaning to check it out forever, but haven't gotten around: I'm more usually a fan of Classical & Romantic period music. I was aware there is a similarity. The writer James Lileks, referenced in the notes for the Doomsday Machine article, mentions it in the link. But I haven't heard it myself.

I've been thinking that the music should have its own section, both in the Doomsday Machine article and in the one for Amok Time, rather than just being a trivia note in each. Those are two important scores. Jeff Bond calls them "seminal"; and it's significant that they were the first scores released on an album, after the pilots. Both of them are super-familiar to people; the Amok Time score in particular shows up all the time in pop culture settings. What do you think? Jim Hardy (talk) 15:26, 13 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Jeff Bond

edit
 

The article Jeff Bond has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No sources, and nothing asserted in the article meet notability guide lines. Some passing mention in reliable sources, quotations and appearances at conventions, but no significant coverage I can find.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Nuujinn (talk) 23:46, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Equal temperament

You seem to be an expert on this subject. I am a total novice. I have a couple of small suggestions that I think would greatly improve it, and I'm eager to discuss them with somebody. Would you be willing to do this? It won't take long. Lou Sander (talk) 13:23, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sure! But, I don't know if I really qualify as an expert. I've just read some stuff. I'm not even a real musician, though I have started taking piano lessons. But sure, would love to discuss this stuff. Jim Hardy (talk) 21:26, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Sade and Blondie. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
