N = Nimrod, the ninth variation of Elgar’s Enigma Variations, composed in 1899
–here’s a good recording. No idea what’s going in the video. The uploader has made some choices.
For over a century the classical music world has tried to figure out the identity of the enigma in the Enigma Variations. Elgar gave clues but nobody’s indisputably cracked it. The answer is probably that there’s some other piece of famous but unrelated music that can act as a hidden theme, i.e. if the two pieces are stacked together then the Enigma theme would work as counterpoint. In 2019 someone proposed the Pergolesi Stabat Mater. Other guesses have included the slow movement of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata #8 “Pathetique”
Nimrod as a name references a biblical king who was “a mighty hunter,” so nimrod the word had nothing to do with being a doofus until the 1930s, when Bugs Bunny & Daffy Duck started trolling Elmer Fudd by sarcastically calling him a nimrod. Congratulations rabbit asshole, thank you for spoiling a heroic word for the rest of time.
Nimrod is poignant stuff for English folks. The first movie I remember it in was Elizabeth and the most recent is Dunkirk. If England could vote on a new national anthem then Nimrod would probably finish a strong second to Jerusalem.

Oh, shit, I can’t believe I missed it too.
Got a couple oddities to throw in here. I think I mentioned Suburban Lawns already. Here’s another good one from them.
Also, this band Lotion is 90s indie rock, nothing too amazing, but there’s an odd story here: the band struck up a friendship with Thomas Pynchon and he wrote the liner notes to this album.
