Mission to Culture |
Title text: It can't be very MUCH money ... they apparently can't even afford a sampler. I mean, with a little remixing, some of this could be kinda good! |
Explanation
A man [most probably 'the boyfriend'] wants to take a woman [most probably 'the girlfriend'] out for his idea of a cultural experience. The inference is that she's culturally impoverished because 'all she ever listens to is techno'. After much griping on various levels, she starts to get into the experience -- sort of. The big 'cultural lesson' she [mis-]gleans from the experience is similar to what a sporting afficionado would gain from watching a sports event.
Her observation regards the seating configuration of a typical modern orchestra, in which the violinists all sit audience-left, while the viole, celli and bassi are on the right. The title text basically just ices the cake.

- The implication of fingers. Sort of like how characters in old video games can grab things despite having blobs instead of hands. -Pennpenn 108.162.250.155 05:04, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
