If you say you like 'classical', it just says you're a dick who doesn't really know what you're talking about.

If you say you're into Beethoven, you might not know what you're on about, but you do have BALLS like STEEL.

We're talking about facebook here, the people that say they like jazz on facebook are mostly pretetious morons. I like jazz; facebook is not the place to talk about it.

I say I like classical music but with always the addition of "I only listen to classical musical occasionally".

demonrail666 03.01.2009 08:06 PM

I tend to follow my mentioning of liking classical music with, 'but only when it's on adverts'.

Lurker 03.01.2009 08:08 PM

Hahaha.

Lurker 03.01.2009 08:09 PM

I listen to BBC 3 a lot. I really do.

demonrail666 03.01.2009 08:10 PM

Only because you get lost on the way to ITV3

Surely this must say something if more commercial music (Beyonce etc) is lower down. Or at least the fact that classical music is an epic outlier of intelligence.

Okay, since east coasters that aren't concerned with Ivy League or West Coast school don't take the SAT usually...I looked up my basic ACT>SAT conversion and I should be listening to Beethoven exclusively, but I run the entire gambit. Oh well.

I'm the sort of prick who says "I like some classical, but I'm more into baroque really." You can't beat a banging fugue, I tells you.

Sufjan Stevens also scores high on the "Music That Makes You Stabby" index.

Most 'noise'. it just stirs up your mind and rattles your thoughts into confusion. and then makes you want to drink cough syrup.
