[link]So that's two things that make me want a DS...
I wanted to say something else, but I forget.
[EDITLULZ] I think I meant to post
this as another part of this post. Greg there really highlights a lot of what's turned me /off/ about classical music in general, and also probably why I was never interested- Nae, avoided classical while I was younger. Well, that was dumb, but weren't we all when ickle firsties? (How ever, this could also be somewhat their fault. Kids tend to react rather rawly.) As it stands, I like classical/orchestral (Especially strings and brass. You reeds can just suck it. ... haha. hah.), but I've never liked the overbearing formality of it. Fancy dress, complete silence... You want fancy dress? Neon Hawaiian shirt and green-camo cargo pants. Screw silence, applause is needed.
I like classical music, but the sheer feeling of pompousheadwherethesundon'tshineness you tend to get from a lot of people there really keeps me away from anything but some recordings.
I say like right now since I haven't gone out of my way to buy any of it for myself. I've bought Celtic music, including my first exclusively Breton disk (Only has French and English, though. No Brezhoneg... yet.), but never classical. Not yet, anywho.
Also, I lost that one disc of Vivaldi's Four Seasons my mom's parents sent me. Dangit.

B: I like classical music. Specifically, I like orchestral music, which is what classical stuff belongs to. But orchestral is more than the old classics, it is also the new stuff, like say, movie soundtracks, or new compositions made more recently than the old masters.'
Now, as for the over-formality, I'm with you there. Dress up, but geeze, gettin' all fancy for music is just so bloody 18th century.

Movie scoring tends to be great, too. Epic music is epic. If we could have more orchestral music all epic like that (That is to say, not necessarily as a movie/whatnot scoring), then that'd be epically epic.
Yeah. You have to be careful using "classical" when talking to the knowitalls, which I guess isn't anyone we know. Still, it is supposed that it means the era of orchestral/exact music that preceded the Romantic era. (Which also contains good music.)
Actually, I wanna see more viola da gamba stuff. And maybe some viola d'amore. Those things are awesome.

Anywho, orchestral in vidjergammin's good. Also orchestral/metal works good for alot of it. (I really think someone needs to write an electric guitar concerto or something. Srslylulz.)
