A dear friend asked me to play her down the aisle with this masterpiece from Pride and Prejudice by Dario Marianelli - just over one minute of music, but each note speaks uniquely, and I hope I've done it some semblance of justice.
I don’t know where else to point out that Marvel spoofing Masterclass was already expertly done by @theryangeorge.bsky.social, several years ago, with a video series that would spoof both Marvel and Masterclass in one fell swoop.
Not even complaining, just wanted to mention it lol

I expect that Aus media *will* cover Silksong—but in the way culture writing happens in 2025. SatPaper will do a review. ABC will do a detailed feature cut to 800 words for news. The Guardian, a profile and syndicated review. That's probably it, because that is all that is possible anywhere anymore.
