Before I start my day...
Before I start my day of NOT playing time wasting online games and reading stupid posts on facebook all day, I decided to hit Jango for music. Normally I listen to the playlists I've set up and when I write, like I'm planning after I finish this post, I like to listen to my Howard Shore station. But Jango has gotten remarkable stupid over the past few days and has gone completely nuts with adding music that are very much NOT movie score music visa vis the Lord of the Rings scores. And then it occurred to me, they have preset classical music stations, why not listen to those while I write--perhaps that will have less chances of them adding some gawd awful twangy country banjo picker or craptacular new agey shite to rape my ear holes. And it will give me a chance to listen to music I haven't thought about since I was still living with my folks.
In a recent conversation with the lovely people that are raping my wallet but making my teeth purdy, it dawned on me that I truly adore classical music for those times I work on my art. Don't get me wrong, I love all the European metal I listen to, but loving it tends to make me a terrible writer and artist. It makes me want to drop everything I'm doing and sing along with the music like nothing else matters. I find myself hunting around youtube for more music that will carry me away to a time when I actually could sing. And after three or more hours of my day has been truly wasted, as fun as it was, I'm left feeling is that I've completely wasted my time.
As kids comicmaster_v and I didn't get much say when the folks were home on what played on the radio. My parents are both classical musicians, they listened to QXR out of NYC since before I could remember. I remember playing around the living room or doing homework to Beethoven, Bach, List, and so many more. Maybe that's why I find it easier to write or draw for hours on end now when something extremely classical playing.
So I'm going to try and be a better artist, and become a boring person at the same time by listening to more classical music. And then maybe I can actually start being productive again. ...or until Jango remember it likes to screw with me and does something stupid to its own presets.
