A 'tritone' is the name for the musical interval between two pitches an augmented 4th/Diminshed 5th apart. The term 'tritone' comes from the fact that the interval between the two pitches is a full three "whole tones" apart. The use of the tritone is common in classical music where the V-I resolution is present, as well as in Jazz and Rock whenever a piece or section is in the lydian mode. The interval has a very unstable characterisic and was even known as the 'devil's interval' at one period in music history.
Tritones can be heard in the following examples:
-Bass riff of "Jerry Was A Racecar Driver" by Primus
-The first two notes of "Maria" from West Side Story ("ma - ree")
-Opening intervals on "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix
-Opening two notes of the "The Simpsons" theme

Get the tritone mug.A middle school often referred to as ghetto. 99% of the people in this school are Caucasian. Everyone is basic, you don't see any boy being an eboy. Or any girl being an egirl. It's just basic white people mixed with a little bit of hispanics and blacks. People here try too hard to fit in, not wanting to fit out. There are new couples every week, people break up and then get back together.
"OMG! Tinton Falls Middle School is so gross and ghetto."

Get the Lily Tritton mug.Triston is the kind of guy every girl wants, that's including being tall, handsome and intelligent. He is passionate about his hobbies, family, and friends. And sometimes looses himself to that same passion. If you put him on a project he'll undoubtably work throughout the night to complete it.
He's a good friend and always ready to be there for those he cares about. But underneath his strong exterior he is a romantic who believes in love and soulmates. Even with all his wonderful qulities he is shy and awkward, but in the cutest way. You'll have to be straightforward as sarcasm is not his forte and he's horrible at picking up up on flirting.
Though stubborn and kind of a pervert, he is a wonderful person to have in your life. If you find one, hold onto him, because he will never see the goodness in himself.
Don't understand it but they're normally into blondes if they aren't already blonde themselves.
