Character: Aziraphale Ezra Fell
Mun: Katie/rosenritter
Plot specific: N~


Recently, I popped in* for a quick visit to my shop in Soho to see how things were going. The young man I hired to look after the place while I attend to my duties here hadn't once turned the sign from "CLOSED" to "OPEN", exactly as I requested. It's so very refreshing when youths of today prove themselves capable of following such simple directions.

While I was in the area, I overheard a small group of young Muggles discussing something they called "the dubstep". I presume it's a dance of some sort, but if anyone knows any further details, I would be most obliged to hear about it. If it's at all like the gavotte, I would be quite interested in learning it.

Yep that's pretty much it. I'm a musician myself and even I don't care for it.
It's mostly played in dance clubs though, so it's not really an incredibly mainstream thing.

Hm, hardly a ringing endorsement when even musicians are unwilling to defend it. Perhaps it will pass even further into obscurity soon enough. Muggles have such short attention spans when it comes to their fads after all, and their youths doubly so.

Well, I'm more of a rock and roll and grunge loving kind of guy. I like the classics though too. Dubstep is popular mostly among teenagers and early twenty-somethngs at the moment and has been for the past couple of years.

I agree that modern music is definitely trend based. At the moment it's all electronically enhanced stuff. Who knows what they'll be into a year or so from now.

I'm afraid modern music is one field in which my expertise is sorely lacking. I primarily listen to the works of the classical masters, and everything that has come since the rise of genres with comical names like "doo-wop" and "be-bop" all sound the same to me.

Oh really? Do you know how to read sheet music? If you compare them side by side you can see how much they differ.
