You also remind me of someone, and I can't quite pinpoint who. But I like your jacket and overcoat combo, and your middle distance stare. And I think that's quite enough.

Carl Nielsen
Carl Nielsen, I know very little about you. I was leafing through some old books, trying to find a composer we haven't already perved on (though we're just a little bit guilty of repeating ourselves), and I found you. And I think you're just a little bit cute. You're also Danish, which is pretty swell, and your charming mug is on the hundred kroner note.

Toby Jailbait
I'm here to prove a point.
See Figure 1, below.
This is Toby Jailbait, who wrote some music for "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which I'm supposed to watching right now, but I'm a bit cider-y and distracted and I'd really rather watch "Porn" which I bought for $8 tonight, but that's beside the point.
So, this guy, I mean, he's not really epic babe material, but he's not so bad. The facial hair's ok, he's got a fairly decent cleft chin (points), I enjoy what he's doing with his receding hairline, the staring off into middle distance thing is vaguely interesting and mysterious etc.
HOWEVER.
This picture gives further evidence to my theory that everyone is more attractive when they're jailbait (further investigation into the attractiveness-giving potential of whether or not it's legal to tap that, including underage and family-members, are in the bagpipe-line). I mean, he's no Schubert, but he's definitely that bit babe-ier for appearing with a (somewhat scratched) piano. Let's all just ignore the ring on his left ring finger, shall we?

God[ard].
"Non, non, non! En Francais!" "Le hoh hoh hoh hoh hoh"
This is Jacques Ibert. I know very little about him, except for the following:
1. He wrote this superhuge Concerto for Flute and Orchestra which makes me think the following when I attempt to play it: "JACQUES WHAT THE HELL MY FINGERS CANNOT MOVE THIS FAST WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO BREATHE CURSE YOU AND YOUR MAGICAL COMPOSITIONAL SKILLZ OF INSANITY." It has a simple key. And so you breathe a sigh of relief, because how could you possibly play all those semi-quavers and demi-semi-quavers if they were in a hard key?!?! THAT'S RIGHT. YOU COULDN'T. AND THEN HE THROWS IN A WHOLE FUCKING LOT OF ACCIDENTALS. NOT EVEN EXPECTED ACCIDENTALS. JUST A WHOLE BUNCH OF REALLY STUPID INNAPPROPRIATE ACCIDENTALS.
In spite of this, it's a really nice concerto.
2. He has a moustache that looks like it has been cut with a ruler. I applaud his commitment, but to be honest, I prefer my moustaches excessive and curly.
That is to say, I don't like moustaches, but you may as well make them extravagant if you have them.

Joby Talbot
I'm here to prove a point.
See Figure 1, below.
This is Joby Talbot, who wrote some music for "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which I'm supposed to watching right now, but I'm a bit cider-y and distracted and I'd really rather watch "Footlose" which I bought for $8 tonight, but that's beside the point.
So, this guy, I mean, he's not really epic babe material, but he's not so bad. The facial hair's ok, he's got a fairly decent cleft chin (points), I enjoy what he's doing with his receding hairline, the staring off into middle distance thing is vaguely interesting and mysterious etc.
HOWEVER.
This picture gives further evidence to my theory that everyone is more attractive with a piano (further investigation into the attractiveness-giving potential of other instruments, including sousaphone and hurdy-gurdy, are in the bagpipe-line). I mean, he's no Schubert, but he's definitely that bit babe-ier for appearing with a (somewhat scratched) piano. Let's all just ignore the ring on his left ring finger, shall we?
