Members Ryst Posted February 20, 2006 Members Share Posted February 20, 2006 Everytime I go there I start laughing and if I try to buy something I get a pop up window telling me to stop laughing. It won't let me go further until I stop laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Geoff Grace Posted February 20, 2006 Members Share Posted February 20, 2006 Serious music is actually a genre - it's what most people refer to as classical music. In other words, in classical music circles, musicians refer to their music as "serious music" and to themselves as, you guessed it - "serious musicians." I wonder if musician.com forces its buyers to sign an agreement that their purchases must be used for serious music. If so, Beethoven would be proud!

Gus Lozada Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I just got into there... and a BIG ad of a M-Audio's Black Box welcomes visitors. I agree, the Black Box is a SERIOUS tool for SERIOUS purposes, but behaving "serious" with the BBox is not the main intention of the product... ... OTOH they also have a "DJ" section, so... ... I guess the site is not THAT serious about being for serious musicians only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thankyou Posted February 20, 2006 Members Share Posted February 20, 2006 I thought "serious" was when you were sixteen and made it to the third date with the same partner. Now, Serius is another orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tedster Posted February 20, 2006 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2006 I think he was kidding, B'lips... Seriously. (Tedster puts on serious face). Craig, we need a "serious" smiley. But then you couldn't call it a "smiley", because then it wouldn't be serious enough. You could call it a "seriously". Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Magpel Posted February 20, 2006 Members Share Posted February 20, 2006 Yeah, I was taught "serious music," not "classical," as "classical" refers to one particular era of "serious music," but I just can't do it; I can't distinguish any genre as "serious." So I stick with "classical" even though I know it's boorish to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kendrix Posted February 20, 2006 Members Share Posted February 20, 2006 I thought that the Joe Walsh album "But seriously folks" clarified that all Rock music is really serious..... Except, of course, for Wierd Al's records.. And another thing: I pay serious money for my gear. In exchange, I expect to get serious gear from a serious site.Im really serious about that. BTW - I think: Steven Wright is seriously funny. Some equipment is seriously f*&ked up. This entire thread is seriously defective. So how in the world do you factor all that in??I mean... lets get serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously - all styles of music have their serious sides, so it's silly to label a particular genre as serious; and classical music, for that matter, has its light side as well. Lee and Ted were right though, in that my post wasn't meant to be taken seriously, even though it contained a grain of truth. After all, the notion of serious music is kind of funny. Especially when taking into consideration that the words "amusing" and "music" both stem from the same root ("muse"), the term "serious music" then becomes something of an oxymoron! For what it's worth, I've spent a significant chunk of my musical life within classical music circles. While I've met a few pretentious classical musicians, I've known many more who are modest and down to earth. I guess that could be said about the participants of any style of music.
