I'm listening to classical music! Be proud!
Actually, it's not an oddity for me to listen to classical music because I don't liike it or am one of those terrible people who find it "boring" *shudder* Oh no, I love classical music, in fact, I've been listening to it for much longer than rock and that such. I grew up with classical, the first "rock" album I owned was The New Radicals and I *didn't* get it when it came out, I got it in 2002. I have only been listening to rock and such since then. Before that, all I had was classical. So, don't think it is odd that I'm listening to classical at the moment because "I don't like it" because it's not true!!! *grrrr*
...ok anyway, what's odd about it is that *since* that moment in 2002, I haven't really given classical the time of day. But now I decided I'd bring out the old stuff and reminisce.
Bah, not really, but it is good to hear this stuff again. Classical is, of course, the predecessor of all modern music anyway, so it has to be good in that sense.
Oh, speaking of music....
JIMMY EAT WORLD is coming out with another CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and the audio clip on the site made me squirm and writhe with sheer extacy.
go now!!!! www.jimmyeatworld.com
It's set for October 19th and I just can't wait.
Oh, yes, they are one of my favorite bands. I think Clarity (the album) is probably my favorite *cd* of all. I can listen to it straight through, love it, and feel like I've listened to one song, but one good song, that has many themes. I was reading in SPIN today an article by Chuck Klosterman called "Two Times Dope" and subtitled (I think) "Bring back incredibly awesome long-ass two-part songs. In it Klosterman complains that songs today tend on the short side, and lacking are the long, many parted songs like "Layla" or "Bohemian Rhapsody". I would say then, listen to Clarity. The entire album is one song in my opinion, or at least the first 6 tracks, if one doesn't think it possible. If you don't like that either then "Just Watch The Fireworks" and "Goodbye Sky Harbor" are both long enough to qualify, and the second one has two parts at least. The first being roughly 3 minutes and the second beng about 14 or so. And "Just Watch The Fireworks" is 8 mins at least as well. So, that's a start neh?
p.s. I don't actually dissagree with Klosterman on this. I think it would be very cool to hear bands make more classical configured songs.
