<p>Matt, have you tried chung gook jang? HAHAHA. Worst smell ever.
There was news about this guy cooking it in his New York City apt and I guess his neighbor called the cops due to the horrible smell. Apparently, the neighbor thought this guy had killed someone in his apartment and left him there to rot, which supposedly explained the disgusting odor. Korean food FTW.</p>
<p>Yes I’ve tried chung gook jang and it does smell like a rotten corpse! Puhahahaha!!! Doesn’t it translate to Heaven soup? Oh my…</p>
<p>Ahah, I’m used to it now because my dad absolutely loves it (who has converted me as well, hahah). But lol at heaven soup. Oh, the irony. Sure hope heaven don’t smell like that, shiiiiit</p>
<p>^ LOL wow! </p>
<p>Oh yeah, my roommates better be okay with drinking! Poppin’ bottles errwhereeee.
I’m a champagne, girly drinks, and beer appreciating type of girl. But I don’t try to get schwasted. I’m trying to remember my college experience lol.</p>
<p>^How many roomies are you planning on getting?</p>
<p>@ erikuh: Ludovico Einaudi is quickly becoming my favorite, contemporary classical composer. This music is beautiful. Thank you so much for telling me! Right now I’m listening to Primavera…powerful, flowing, sharp music! I love it.</p>
<p>I don’t mind drinking as long as they don’t throw up in the apartment, haha. And leave a mess… I love champagne, too. And wine! Classy, we are.</p>
<p>^ lol that sounded like yoda.</p>
<p>Dude, emilsinclair9, that Primavera piece is insanely sweet. I didn’t know there were people on this board–specifically in this late-night discussion–who were into classical music lol. </p>
<p>I had thought all the greatest [solely piano] composers belonged to only previous eras. This Einaudi is a clear exception, he and the Klaus Badelt IMO. (Maybe James Horner too.) Have you heard Einaudi’s “Fly” - <a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ff0PGN1ID8[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ff0PGN1ID8</a>? That one is also exquisite.</p>
<p>Post-edit: now that I’ve re-watched it and see the planes, I can picture myself listening to that soothing piece when I’m on the airport runway to Santa Cruz lol (since I’m probably gonna be rejected at SD, given the latest news from their admissions office :().</p>
<p>Oliver, you arrived at the perfect time! In fact, the very first Einaudi song that I had ever heard…roughly 2 hours ago (thank you erikuh!) is “Fly”! I’ve been listening to his compositions non-stop. This is the very best kind of classical music; the relentless, unrestrained, selfless, absorption into a piece. Primavera is exceptional! I used to have a romanticism associated with the music of the Baroque and Romantic Era. I still love the compositions of Bach, Beethoven, Vivaldi, and a few others, but as of today I have been exposed to contemporary classical.</p>
<p>I wish I could say that I am a long time connoisseur of this genre, but I’ve literally been listening to Einaudi for just a couple hours! :). haha you and I always seem to have something in common. I’m glad that you enjoy classical music as well, though I’m not surprised. </p>
<p>I will have to check out your other suggestions! Klaus Badelt and James Horner are next on my list! I’ll keep ya posted on what I think.</p>
<p>Speaking of Primavera, it sounds familiar to me. I think it may be used in the movie American Beauty. < One of my favorite movies of all time. I’m now the proud owner of 3 Einaudi albums! :). Thanks guys.</p>
<p>hey Oliver_Twist i resent that. i adore classical music, this is a very beautiful piece and well its by the master.</p>
<p>piano piece for you:</p>
<p>[YouTube</a> - Mozart - Concerto No. 23 For Piano and Orchestra, Adagio](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB9R-wy62_w&feature=PlayList&p=50D8414209945FFA&playnext_from=PL&index=9]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB9R-wy62_w&feature=PlayList&p=50D8414209945FFA&playnext_from=PL&index=9)</p>
<p>@ Oliver: What is the latest news from the admissions office? I’m still pulling for you for UCSD, of course!</p>
<p>Haha, for sure! What a coincidence with that Fly piece. </p>
<p>Yes you must listen to Klaus Badelt. Ones you’ll likely appreciate from him: [YouTube</a> - Time machine - Stone language](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISWcYD3WBrU&feature=related]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISWcYD3WBrU&feature=related)
Pirates of the Carribean soundtrack - as you may know, he was given the main role for composing practically the entire score.
[YouTube</a> - <strong>Revolution!</strong>](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoW4aIRIa6A&feature=related]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoW4aIRIa6A&feature=related) - I want you to listen especially closely to the interval 1:31 - 1:46. IMHO, I believe that what is heard in those 15 seconds is the most euphonious of anything composed in the last century. (Note: it will intensify your pleasure if you have great bass sound)</p>
<p>And James Horner, well, he composed the score for The Titanic.
Specifics from the soundtrack you’ll probably like:

[YouTube</a> - Titanic Soundtrack 6/16- Take Her To Sea, Mr. Murdoch](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fPDa7dPsTg&feature=related]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fPDa7dPsTg&feature=related) - Take her to the Sea, Mr. Murdoch</p>
<p>Let me know your thoughts, dude. Now I’m gonna fall asleep to Primavera LOL. Thanks again for that; that filled an empty hole inside of me. Gnight!</p>
<p>Post-edit: according to Grimes99 on the UCSD thread he spoke face to face with one UCSD admissions rep and she looked doubtful at him when he asked if he’d be admitted with a non-TAGged 3.03 
So I might fall short of the “minimum cut-off” you were talking about this year. But thanks for pulling for me man, my hope is not lost!</p>
<p>My good friend, I’ll need ample time to delve into the intricacies of such beautiful music. lol I need sleep too. Have a good night, and hopefully by tomorrow night I’ll have explored and given myself to the music! I look forward to listening to all of your suggestions. Thank you again. Night man!</p>
<p>@Jane: Wow, I normally don’t like adagio pieces–even those by Mozart–since they’re often too slow-paced for me and therefore unremarkable. But I actually liked that one, that one would make a good lullaby. Thanks for it! </p>
<p>My favorite piano piece of all time by Mozart is Rondo Alla Turca - [YouTube</a> - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Rondo alla Turca](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geER3iQDO5k&feature=related]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geER3iQDO5k&feature=related) The rendition and interpretation of it has to be right for it to achieve its true value; some people can’t freaking play it right and they desecrate the beauty of it. This one by the Swedish dude is the best version that exists I think.</p>
<p>P.S. yet another classical fan on this board! wooot</p>
<p>yeah for me if i go classic i go straight for the classics.
for example, i love Yundi Li playing anything Chopin.
contemporary classical music for me idk a lot of it i find it too theatrical…too soundtrackish
but right now i am listening to this French composer:
[YouTube</a> - A complete version of Camille Saint-Saens’ “Le carnaval des animaux” (Duboit) - No. 1-7](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjaBGAfWGSU]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjaBGAfWGSU)
and this piece is certainly popular right now:
[YouTube</a> - The Carnival of the Animals: The Aquarium](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsD0FDLOKGA&feature=related]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsD0FDLOKGA&feature=related)</p>
<p>EDIT: Speaking of French guys I love the cellist Gautier Capu</p>
<p>nite Oliver_Twist! :)</p>
<p>and to whoever is lurking :(</p>
<p>what up everyone lol just got back from the gym</p>
<p>I like classical music. I’m taking Intro to Western Music right now and we’re getting to listen to a lot of stuff. @Jane Mozart FTW . . . It’s all about Mozart, Bach, Chopin. I like Mozart’s opera, even, and I hate opera. Don Giovanni, I think it was called? Totally freaking awesome.</p>
<p>Never heard of Einaudi, I’ll give him a listen though.</p>
<p>Anyone like Apocalyptica?</p>
