So, I ran across this site, kickassclassical.com. It’s a listing of the most recognizable pieces of “classical” music in pop culture and where you probably heard them. The fact that they’re so recognizable doesn’t diminish their awesomeness. Looking through this page makes me want to be more well versed in classical music (and not just the well known stuff on this page). Like, could I sing you a line of a Beethoven string quartet? At this point, my answer is no, which is terrible. I haven’t been feeling particularly inspired to write lately, and it wouldn’t hurt to get some new (old) sounds in my ears.

P.S. Monsterpiece theater
