think_too_much	7:47p	warm and golden like an oven that's wide open How did I not realize that Pandora now carries classical music? AWESOME. Anyway, I just threw in the finale to Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra", and it spat out a movement from Ives' Symphony #2, which I own but for some reason haven't listened to in forever. AWESOME. Now I just wish you could fiddle with the settings to play entire pieces instead of just movements. But still, AWESOME. ... How am I doing work-wise, you ask? NOT AWESOME. In fact, I'm rather fucked. ETA: Next piece is Elliot Carter's Holiday Overture, which apparently dates from before he got all twelve-tone and shit. And is similarly AWESOME. Man, why did all of humanity's greatest achievements (at least the arts-related ones) have to happen in the forty-year period between 1910 and 1950? ... ETA #2: Holy motherfucking wankbanks do NOT pick up the Concertgebouw's version of Stravinsky's Symphony in C they have SOMEHOW managed to play it at fucking HALF-TEMPO I have never heard such a good piece performed in such an INTERMINABLE manner. ... ETA #3: They appear to not have John Adams' Violin Concerto in their database. WHAT IS THIS VILLANY i am VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU PANDORA this WILL NOT STAND Current Mood: busy Current Music: Ives- Symphony #2 (2 Comments |Comment on this)
