I’ve been getting a lot of whining from certain people about how my musical tastes aren’t “melodic,” how I”m “obsessed” with “rhythm,” how “I” should “get out” more. I don’t appreciate your tone, and I find your statements outlandish, calumnious, and ill-informed. To prove it, I give you this Mozart thing. Here, you unwashed rabble. Have some damn melody (which, by the way, is supposed to start at 22:36, in case the YouTube video fails). But before you go, I will subject you to my favorite knock-knock joke.
Knock-knock.
Who’s there.

Philip Glass.
FINALLY! MELODY!
Where’s a boy gotta go to get a drink around here?
Make sarcastic comments on my blog? That’s about it, really.
Your joke puts me in mind of P.D.Q. Bach’s “Knock Knock” cantata, from which this is my favorite movement:
Ha. Philip Glass. I see what you did there. #snark #imissyankette
