Listen to me on this: I'm only going to say this once to most of you, and several times to Daniel Glenn in economics--

String quartets rule. No... they OWN.

I don't need to tell you this if you've seen Yellow Submarine, with those colorful string players with the old man and Fred the captain who says "Quartet, sir... Trio, sir... Duet... SO-lo!!" Or you could just take drugs.

I've been tracking down those wonderful Radiohead string quartet arrangements they played in the Elephant Man. Check out Karma Police and Paranoid Android... beautiful. And also ask to borrow Philip Glass and the Kronos Quartet's rendition of Dracula from me. Hypnotic.

Also thanks to Helena, for my bastardization of the term "own." And I don't even like ska.
