I now listen to classical music. I was wondering what all your thoughts were on it.
As of now, I only listen to it when driving when I go to service locations. It helps keep the homicidal urges down I have towards other drivers. I'm finding I'm really liking it. It's complex music, unlike simplistic rock music. All the different instruments coordinated in such a fashion. It's like a feast for the ears. I also listen to jazz music as well. Jazz is pretty cool.
The great thing is they are both on radio stations without commercials and promos and ad. One is on a national public radio station. And the other is on the university station. Great for someone like me who hates commercialization. Actually I just hate talking on the radio. It irritates me. I still have to deal with DJ's, but they aren't loud and annoying like on popular music stations. But I just turn the channel to either the jazz or classical station (whichever one I'm not listening to at the time). The only time I might run into trouble is at the top of the hour when the news comes on the NPR station. I have a cassette tape as backup in case that happens. Last week I had Death Angel- The ultraviolence as my backup. It can be strange listening to thrash/speed metal along with jazz and classical. But I find it works.
I mainly listen to the instrumentals, occasionally they play something with singing, I don't care for the opera singing, or the lounge type singing on jazz tunes. I like the instrumentals.
Has the music made me calmer? probably not. Anti anxiety drugs would probably be better. But classical music has less side effects . And I'm rather enjoying it. And I don't like taking drugs (please don't think I'm some Tom Cruise loving scientologist though).
I've always had a passing interest in classical music. I've always loved the imperial death march from star wars for instance, and the music in Apocalypse now. In fact, I think it's all that type of music I've listened to in role playing games that got me into this type of music.
I'm still not to the point where I will buy this music, but it should be noted I don't buy any music anymore. I've been disappointed by too many albums. Most of the old bands I liked no longer put out good music. Slayer and Anthrax for instance. Or Iron Maiden. And of course there's always other methods of obtaining songs...
But if you have any recommendations, feel free to say them. I'm still new, and I have no idea about any of the terminology. Like when they say something is in B minor, I have no idea what that means.
Liking classical music... This either means I'm getting old, or becoming gay. I'm not sure which.
P.S. Yes I'm back. I said I'd be back when I'm bored. And I'm very bored right now. I should get a real life, but getting a real life is harder than it looks.
