I'm a carnivore, I eat meat. I'm 26 years old and I am a workaholic. I frequently think about going to work. I'm slightly in debt. My favorite band is black sabbath.
Speaker 2
My favorite song is moonlight sonata by beethoven. I drive a volkswagen beetle. My grandmother came from italy. I own two handguns. I only watch british television.
Speaker 1
I listen to music at work a lot. I listen to Black Sabbath. I want to visit Italy. I am focusing on my career. I love Volkswagen beetles.
Speaker 2
Beethoven's moonlight sonata is my favorite. I have hand guns. I watch British tv. My grandmother is from Italy. Her favorite song is iron man. I want to travel. I have a Black Volkswagen Beetle. Black is my favorite color.
Speaker 1
Just sitting down to dinner after work. Steak!
Speaker 2
Listening to my beethoven favorite, moonlight sonata..
Speaker 1
Nice! I listen to music at work a lot. What do you do?
Speaker 2
I practice shooting with both of my handgunds and watch british tv. You?
Speaker 1
Sales. The playlist of black sabbath usually pumps me up to sell! Lol.
Speaker 2
My grandma from italy came to visit, and iron man is her favorite song!
Speaker 1
Your grandma rocks! Love italy, hope to visit but need to pay off some debt first.
Speaker 2
I understand that. I want to travel in general but I can't at the moment..
Speaker 1
Hopefully you will! I’m so focused on my career, travel is a low priority at this point.
Speaker 2
Same for me! I barely paid off my volkswagen beetle.
Speaker 1
Love that car. What color?
Speaker 2
It's black! My favorite color for everything lol.

Speaker 1
I was listening to music at work and Moonlight Sonata was the first song that played. 
Speaker 2
Aah Moonlight Sonata... I can never get enough of it!
Speaker 1
It is not my normal taste in music but I actually quite liked it.
Speaker 2
Do you listen to a wide range of music as part of your work or is it a particular genre?
Speaker 1
It isnt really part of my job. I do it to pass the time while working on tasks. I usually stick to some of the older rock but I can see where moonlight sonata may have influenced more modern music. Do you like more modern music as well or do you stick with the classics? 
Speaker 2
My bad... for assuming! I stick with the classics. So what career are you pursuing?
Speaker 1
Right now I am doing my best with my safety career. Some of it is physical, moving around and sometimes it is just data entry. Unfortunately it doesnt leave much room for traveling. Where is it you want to travel to?
Speaker 2
Sounds like your work keeps you pretty busy! I want to travel the world ... I have a huge wanderlust. I am planning to travel to Italy this summer- like I mentioned my grandmother is from Italy but I’ve never been there
Speaker 1
Oh that is amazing I have always wanted to go there. I imagine the food there is fantastic. There are so many things to see and do while there. What are you planning to do while there?

I listen to music at work a lot. I listen to Black Sabbath. I want to visit Italy. I am focusing on my career. I have a career in safety. I don't have much free time to travel. I love Volkswagen beetles. I don't normally listen to classical music. I like the Moonlight Sonata. I listen to music while doing tasks at work. I usually listen to old rock.

Speaker 1
What are some other classical pieces you'd recommend for someone unfamiliar with it?
Speaker 2
You probably know about Mozart and Bach, but I'd really recommend someone like Anton Dvorak.  He is a little later than Beethoven, but really is the height of the "Romantic Era" that Beethoven ushered in. 
Speaker 1
Dvorak? How do you say that? LOL. What stuff of his would I have heard in movies and such?
Speaker 2
If you have ever heard the iconic Jaws theme -- duuuuhhh DUUHUHHH...Dvorak's (I pronounce it Duh-vor-CZAK) ninth symphony actually has that same theme, but it builds into something really interesting.
Speaker 1
So John Williams stole from the best...He's pretty smart then! Genius steals. Ninth symphony? I think I've heard Beethoven's ninth. Is Dvorak German? Austrian?
Speaker 2
Dvorak is Czech and born near Prague, though it was part of the Austrian Empire when he was born.  You will find that John Williams borrowed a lot of themes, though he puts them to good use.  The opening to Star Wars is right out of film music by Korngold!
Speaker 1
There's nothing new under the sun. I bet Korngold in turn got ideas from someone else. 
Speaker 2
Oh, I am sure!  A lot of film scores probably do a little of that and they tend to be a bit more simpler than a fully composed piece of classical music.  I just really love that full orchestra sound.  But I love a little metal on the side as well!
Speaker 1
I bet you've found the influence of classical music in metal music too!
Speaker 2
Yes.  If you want to hear some really "metal" classical music, check out Holst and "Mars the bringer of war."  I bet you have heard it and don't even realize it!  What was the last song you heard today?
Speaker 1
Holst...Wrote something about planets? I bet "Mars" is seriously metal. I listened to Blizzard of Ozz.
Speaker 2
Randy Rhodes was the guitarist right?  He really was bringing classical guitar into the metal world and you can hear it in his playing!

I'm really into classic movies like Jaws and Star Wars. I love orchestra and metal.
Speaker 1
Are there any other movies that include classic songs that you'd recommend watching?
Speaker 2
Wagner is great. You can probably find a nice compilation with various composers somewhere. Can't think of any in movies, though. John Williams always does great scores.
Speaker 1
John Williams has definitely done well by the Star Wars and Harry Potter franchises. What is Wagner's style like?
Speaker 2
I'd say lively and driving, if those make any sense; an exciting feel. He's known for Flight of the Valkyries and was probably a Volkswagen fan himself. I love when orchestras/symphonies collaborate with metal bands.
Speaker 1
It does seem like a really cool combo. Metal artists have to be pretty technically skilled to do what they do. And when you add that level of skill to the skill of orchestra players, it's awesome!
Speaker 2
Well said. Do you ever try listening to newer rock or do you stick with the older stuff?
Speaker 1
I haven't listened to too much of the newer stuff. A lot of it either feels too pop or too noisy without a cause, haha. I'm still open to it, though. Do you listen to much of the newer stuff?
Speaker 2
Very little. I enjoy acts like the Foo Fighters and Arcade Fire a little. Love Metallica's latest collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.
Speaker 1
I need to listen to that Metallica collab. I totally forgot about the Foo Fighters. I remember being pleasantly surprised when I learned David Grohl could also sing and play guitar. It's sad what happened to Kurt Cobain, but I think it worked out for Grohl.
Speaker 2
Grohl has certainly made the most of it. Apparently he recorded the entire first Foo Fighters album himself. Do you ever look into other jobs? Ones that might give you the time to travel?
Speaker 1
Wow, did he! I wonder how much time that took him and if it was his way of getting through what happened. As far as looking into other jobs, I haven't thought about it much.
Speaker 2
How do you like the safety? Are you just trying to gain some experience right now?

Speaker 1
Did you look into jobs as well?
Speaker 2
What do you do in the safety field?
Speaker 1
I typically made sure that all individuals followed protocols. It was a decent job with good pay. But I do want to move up. Hence why I can't travel so much yet. 
Speaker 2
I understand. There will be plenty of time for that shortly when you move up. How long have you had your current position?
Speaker 1
For a few years now. It gets a little boring... yet the reason why I listen to music while I work. But I like my company. Oh- before I forget to ask- have you noticed any deals on newer Volkswagen Beetles lately? 
Speaker 2
I wish I knew you wanted one! My friend just sold his . What yr are you thinking about buying? I could ask around at my VW club.
Speaker 1
VW club? That's awesome. I would like to invest soon. If you could reach out for me, that would be great. How are your trip plans going?
Speaker 2
I will ask around when I get back from vacation. I will be leaving in 6 days! I am soo happy everything is opening back up again. Where is the first place you will travel to when you have time?
Speaker 1
Me too! You will have plenty of time to watch the entire Star Wars series traveling to Italy! Me? Travel? Hmmmmmm..... I think I would go to Washington and check out Cobain's hometown. 
Speaker 2
I have every intention to watch the series on my way over and on my way back.That would be awesome to go to Washington! I will put that on my 'must see' list.Have you always liked Cobain or did you discover him just recently?
Speaker 1
Oh- I have totally rocked out to them in the 90's. My neck is still sore from all the headbanging. Your neck has to be the same way with your love for metal. Metal and orchestra totally go hand-in-hand- reminds me a lot of good ole Metallica!  
Speaker 2
YES! I still love headbanging! I think I scared someone in the car next to the other day when I was stopped at a red light and had it cranked while air guitaring and head banging! Do you like to the older stuff like ZZTop too?
