OMG! What happened to HANSON???

I'm not a huge fan of the song, but I have to admit this is pretty awesome. Keep it up Tam!

"Wait... Chris Hanson is a GUY!? But... I've got PICTURES... and... oh god... OH GOD.... OH GOD!"

/Wrong hot pic, I know

My high school counselor was a carillonneur. I used to go hear him play Bach on the Yale carillon. A live carillon concert is an amazing experience, as the bells have these complex harmonics that do not come through in recordings. If you get a chance to hear a concert, go. I don't know about Lady Gaga though.

Ever been to Ames or ISU? You can understand why they find this kind of thing exciting. It's where boredom lost the will to live.

So that goofy bimbo is famous for singing?

Gee, I read that as "onanist" my bad.

Couldn't you clueless dopes pick something interesting or good? Ah, I forgot. That's what Lady Gaga is to you.

Lived two hours away from that campus for 2 1/2 years.

Yes I have and yes it is.

/that's why I moved

Few people do.

unless you enjoying drinking. but that's any college.

and despite the fact that the student body is half the town's population the Townies continue to hate on the students.


there are some fun/ok clubs, and one of the most badass martial arts instructors in the US

I was there off and on between '90 and '95. and I concur with all of the above statements.

Tee hee!

Pants full of macaroni!!: That big bell on the right looks like it got caught in a golfball dimpler.

It's a hat.

You aren't paying me enough for me to care!

Kazan: /isu alum

I seem to recall Dr. Feelgood being played when I was there.

I'm not a doctor, but aren't bells and organs two different instruments?

I'd much rather hear Bach than Lady Gaga "music". I can imagine that Yale concert was amazing.

It was more interesting when I initially misread the headline as onanist.
Carry on.

They grew up? WTF is MMMBop?

ISU has a sweet XC course.

during the early 2000s (between 2002 and 2006 i think it was) there was a BDSM club... talk about controversial

Why do all the fun things happen after I leave?

Our Campanile is bigger than your Campanile:

The Campanile and carillon at Iowa State University (110 ft (33.5 m); 50 bells).

Sather Tower, "The Campanile" and carillon of the University of California, Berkeley, is 307 ft (93.6 m) tall and has 61 bells. It was the subject of The Campanile Movie.

/Campanile

Organist plays Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" on a college's historic, 110-foot-high bell tower. "Last semester I played (Hanson's) 'MMMBop' - that was so much fun"

Thanks for clarifying it was Hanson's version. At first, I was like, "which one? Zeppelin's? Clapton's?"

Was last semester 1997?

Cornell sometimes does stuff like this too. Can make for an interesting walk up the hill to work in the morning.

Al_Ed: This may be the only time Lady Gaga's been on an organ.

What? So now she's a lesbian?
I don't get it

It could have been Crash Test Dummies' version. You know:

Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The cars had smashed so hard

Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm bop

That unfortunate black guy on the right looks like he accidentally stuck his head into a golf ball dimpler.

Fra_dat_da:

GENIUS!

i've played a bluegrass version of bad romance.

good times.

\rah rah rah

I played the Pantera - Cowboys From Hell riff on the Texas Tech carillon about 10 years ago.

For interesting covors, pick up Hymns in the Key of 666 by Hellsongs. Can't stop listening to it lately.

i paid less for the same value of degree! neeeneer! :D

/and i STILL paid too farking much with Total Cost of Attending...

I don't know how things work in Iowa, but here in California the U.C. schools have much more financial aid available to students with higher income levels than the state schools. While the tuition may be higher at the UC's, the out-of-pocket amount is actually much, much lower than the state schools. Of my $5,500 or so tuition this semester, I'm paying $400. That's for someone that made about 15% more than the median income for my state last year.

Someone needs to tune that organ... oh wait.
