Junkyard Quote 1, Post 1, Week 1

"It's a funky beat in there. We tryin' to catch it."

This quote was from a friend of mine. She is a percussionist at UWG, and another friend was asking why the part she and her fellow bass drummers had wasn't sounding right. I thought this quote was interesting because I never would have thought to say it like this. If he had asked me what was going on, I would have just said, "We're not all on the same page," or, "That part is a little weird." The image of trying to catch a beat that's "funky" is hilarious to me. I see a musician in tails in a spotlight leaping off the floor in an attempt to wrangle the errant sixteenth notes floating off the paper wall complete with a painted-on musical staff. It's quite original, and I never would have come up with it without Diamond and Luther.
