RIP.
Love that lydian mode.
Tart and interesting, a little angular - not unlike a young Muscadet.

Joel Stewart · Jul 30, 2009

RIP, Mr. Modal.

Who's left now?

Heard part of the 24-hour tribute streamed from WKCR the other day. We've lost a real original.

Mmmmm, Lydian.

I'm feeling Phrygian at the moment, but that might be the orange wine residue...

Larry Stein · Jul 31, 2009

I'm feeling rather Myxolidian myself. Probably for much the same reason as Thor.

I hope that you've got the headgear to play the role properly.

For some reason, that hat reminds me of the "our genitals are on our heads" SNL sketch.

For some reason, that reminds me of the "our eyes are on our breasts" SNL sketch.
