It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

The bluemooze post (long, yet incomplete)

I don't know how many of you have yet reached the 174th post in Chris from Lafayette's epic Janine Jansen thread below. But I feel no guilt at spoiling the surprise for those of you still studying and pondering posts 1 through 173, since the 174th post, that of bluemooze, breaks such important new ground that it merits if not requires annotation, whether treated as an introduction or postscript to his groundbreaking ideas.

Put simply, bluemooze has created both a startling new concept and the descriptive language to accompany it: that of the "baber", and it's presumed antithesis, the "anti-baber" (but see more on the etymological implications of the "anti-baber" below).

A baber is one who collects CDs, and possibly downloads that include cover art, though bluemooze does not explicitly address that point, of classical music performed by babes. This by itself is a conceptual and linguistic breakthrough, but bluemooze goes much further: He develops the concept of the anti-baber.

The anti-baber is not simply one who does not collect babe CDs and is thus not a baber, or even one who actively objects to the activities of babers as insensitive, misogynistic or just plain boring. This kind of meaning might ordinarily be presumed from the common usage of the prefix "anti-" : opposed, contrary to. No, the anti-baber is something far more provocative, and with wider-reaching implications: One who collects CDs of classical music performed by anti-babes.

Like many great discoveries, the concepts of the anti-baber and its corollary the anti-babe are logical, even obvious, once they are proposed.
