I thought this could be an interesting exercise.
We have Classical Music in common so maybe we have other interests/hobbies we may share.
Post your fave sites with links.
Forums:
I'm more a Reader than a Poster :) but...
My fave site is GMG (http://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php)
I also do daily reads of a professional wedding photography site DWF (http://www.digitalweddingforum.com/)
& a Frank Sinatra forum Sinatra Family Forum (http://sinatrafamily.com/forum/index.php)
Websites:
Well theres many I check every day so heres a few...
Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/573448/ref=m_mh_mn_bc/002-3712830-9796869) I love Amazon!
BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/)
TradeMe (http://www.trademe.co.nz/) NZ's version of Ebay
Well, theres many others but thats a start.
What about you?
:)
GMG.
no other forums.......
just myspace and facebook every now and then (just because everyone at church uses it)
I used to visit Metal-Archives forums (http://www.metal-archives.com/board/) but got bored once I realised how excessively pretentious hardcore fans of all types of music are - at least classical listeners generally have the intellect to back that up - with other genres it's like watching cripples fight. I do a brief scan of new threads once every month or so.
Now I pretty much only visit GMG and 4chan (http://img.4chan.org/b/imgboard.html).
I'd rather not say. ::)

I used to be active at the Gramophone forum but the lumbering, out-of-date website software, along with the fact every message is moderated and approved before its released (which sometimes means a post might not show up for three days if a weekend and holiday are involved) finally just drove me crazy and I left. I still lurk occasionally but seldom post...after finding this forum (thanks paulb) I never felt a need to again.
I'm active in an alternative and alternative country group primarily dedicated to Emmylou Harris, my favorite non-classical singer. Unlike the comments here about metal and prog groups, the alternative scene is full of very intelligent people who know music. They can explicate a performance or song as skillfully as anyone I've seen on a classical forum.
I used to belong to dpreview.com, an outstanding British based website dedicated to digital photography. Great forums but...I was banned along with every other German member who uses Tiscali/Freenet, a major German ISP. The website owners never gave an explanation and will not reply to messages. I still lurk.

Hey, D--I think I've found the perfect new avatar for you:
(http://www.the-turds.co.uk/turds/ShowPicture.aspx?filename=ShitStirrer.jpg&size=fullsize)
I sometimes desultorily read the Classical music forums on Amazon, but I am generally repelled by the overall cluelessness and ridiculous pronouncements of the posters, as well as the almost complete lack of basic tools that any forum should have (like a reply tracker). I suppose it's natural that the more public the place, the more morons you find.
I also have a profile (http://www.last.fm/user/wie_ein_kind) at Last.Fm (http://www.last.fm), but the forums for the Classical music groups are inactive 98% of the time. The only regular activity pertaining to Classical music is bored 16-year-olds who talk about how much they like "Mozart's Fur Elise" and how Claire [sic] de Lune is their favorite "song" by Debussy. The place is basically a Kindergarten, and I often wonder why I stay there, but I am obsessed with figures and like to keep track of what I listen to.

Don't go near the I Love Music forums.
The horror... the horror...
I regularly frequent:
- A norwegian HiFi and music forum
- I read several classical music blogs
- Quite av few wine related blogs and forums
- A norwegian soccer forum
but am only a member of one classical music forum, this!
I used to be pretty active at HeadFi, which, back in the day, had some pretty good discussion on Mahler, Beethoven, i.a., but things seem to have cooled down there on the classical front - having devolved into a diffused mass of "Recommend me [X,Y,Z rel. to classical music]." It's a gear-centered site, so it didn't break my heart to see the music forum to gradually shift away from really very active classical threads, though that Mahler thread was quite the scene, so to speak, for a while. There are a couple other ex-pats from that board here, IIRC.
My engagement these days is lurking over there and hitting up some websites I like.

I love how at the very top it says "2 users banned today. 8,643 total users banned."
I also love how, in the Pictures of Girls Thread, the very first reply to the very first picture is "goddamn thats an old tv [in the background]" ;D
This is the only music forum I visit. Other forums: I am writing a novella (!!) on Paradox Interactive, which was begun a year and a half ago; there are only a few chapters left, but I've been too slow/lazy to actually just write them, unfortunately. :( It's a murder mystery slash thriller, so my readers are really pissed. ;D I also visit a couple semi-private forums, the Internet Infidels (infidels.org), where my article for the 'Secular Web Kiosk' is currently on the front page, and a fan forum for a major league baseball team, where I am a bastion of good sense (hopefully....) against a sea of people with usernames like 'sportsfan'.
Websites: two email accounts, BBC for news, Sports Illustrated, [music: Naxos, Naxos Music Library, OperaShare, ClassicsToday, MusicWeb, eMusic, ArkivMusic, Amazon], Garfield Minus Garfield, The Economist, and a fantasy baseball league. Others I'm probably forgetting, too.
A Garfield Minus Garfield for your viewing pleasure:

So we've a couple of 4chan people (no, I won't use the official term ;D), and at least one Goon. And here I thought we were posh. :D ;)
More seriously, this is the only classical music forum I visit, but I'm a general "forumphile": I follow quite a few different forums at a given moment, often changing depending on my mood and current occupation.
Currently, I'm also regular poster at my role-playing guild's forum (in World of Warcraft) and my server forum (ditto), while I'm contemplating on coming back to being an active poster in a couple of D&D-related forums pending my soon-to-be-realised return to DMing.
(In general, this is a low-activity time for me, compared to a period when I was an active poster in five to six different places in tandem.)
I also keep up with my Facebook profile (for the sake of some of my friends), a few interesting blogs (from Kotaku to The Rest Is Noise), an array of sites really too wide to list, and most certainly neither 4chan, nor SomethingAwful, or even StileProject! I stay clear.
The worst I go is Encyclopedia Dramatica, and that only on a good day - read: a very boring one on which I somehow find myself without the strength to actually go and do something more productive than sit and grin at things. :P

Amazing!!! Those are the ones I frequent too!! ;)
There are three other forums in my browser's toolbar apart from GMG: Talk Classical (am I allowed to say that? 0:) ), Physics Forums (my frequency has decreased in the past few months, though :( ) Ubuntu Forums (and that's only when I have a problem with the OS ;D ) I used to visit two or three amateur astronomy message boards in the past, but in the last few years, it has taken a back seat. :'( But I'll be back!
Websites in general: amazon.com (duh!), wikipedia (double duh!), Flickr.com(photography is a like a "semi-hobby"), xkcd.com on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (that's one helluva comic!)
And I subscribe to a handful of blogs and news sites (that includes slashdot) mostly related to the sciences, especially astronomy and physics.
Yes. I am a geek. ::)
GMG is the only music forum I frequent. I have no time for cyber dalliance, and I think GMG presents as good a cross-section of musical minds as any. Informed or not, that is not the question. I like and value diversity. All other sites I've checked have the same virtues and more problems. Ataraxia rules 8).
Other web sites I regularly visit (for information purposes) are Berkshire Record Outlet (aka BRO), Eclassical and Otterhouse. That's it and that's all.
Forums: AVS Forum (http://www.avsforum.com/), Hydrogenaudio Forums (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php) I don't often post but I go every day.
Websites: Butterflies and Wheels (http://www.butterfliesandwheels.com/), Tom's Hardware (http://www.tomshardware.com/), The Long War Journal (http://www.longwarjournal.org/), X-Bit Labs (http://www.xbitlabs.com/) I have many sites bookmarked but these are frequently visited.

GMG is my home base and Thomas Ligotti Online (http://www.ligotti.net) is becoming my second home lately - a site devoted to horror writer extraordinaire Thomas Ligotti, whom I am in the process of discovering. I have met some interesting people there, too.
Rod Corkins Classical Music Mayhem. :)
First forum I ever joined was Radio Three last November 07 (somewhat limited in interactive content), then to Rod Corkins CMM where I found a real home. Joined here in March but didn't post much at all, unable to settle, then followed someone who had become a good, respectful friend back into here again and now I have settled very much, the interactivity and discussions are superb, even if there is a rotten apple or two in a barrel full of ripened souls. :P
It is unlikely I will join others as this and the other fill an enormous amount of creative time which should be reserved for writing for commercial reasons!

Morning! (http://images.dmusic.com/v7/emoticons/hotjava.gif)
There's only two websites I have up and running all the time.
DMusic.com - http://www.dmusic.com/
The oldest independent digital music community on the web! Apparently... I've been there 4 and a half years. Soon into my 1st year I became an administrator due to bouts of activity and general helpfulness 0:) The forums get rambunctious from time to time. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't on a regular basis! ::) The wisdom of Solomon is often called upon. I occasionally Shoutcast songs from the website and am doing so as I type. The link to my page there is:
http://rhthesinner.dmusic.net/
last.fm - I have 2 accounts there. Subotnick is where I listen to classical, jazz, avantgarde and world music - http://www.last.fm/user/Subotnick/
fergusmcphail is where I listen to everything else - http://www.last.fm/user/fergusmcphail/
Like Corey, I find the group forums pretty redundant. I like my lists and it is a great way of discovering music. For example, Douglas Lilburn was mentioned here and I thought he was interesting. I checked at last.fm to see what they had on him and found his orchestral works and 3 symphonies available to stream! ;D
I love Australian music, art, literature and films. I can often be found browsing various sites for info and products. Some I visit often are as follows:
http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/ - Australia's best youth orientated radio station
http://www.ozmusic-central.com.au/ozlinks/index.html - Australia's #1 music link resource
http://www.nova100.com.au/site/home.aspx - Melbourne radio playing new hits first and never more than two ads in a row! ;D
http://www.aboriginalartonline.com/index.php - Aboriginal art is a beauty to behold!

Hi kraehe, I go to MA daily, still, but post relatively little. The Symposium was a good idea but I really can't be bothered with it. Not that I post much here either.

Yeah, it seems as if those kinds of sites are almost invariably run by one person alone, and they update once every blue moon. Erkki-Sven Tüür's site hasn't been updated since 2005 —imagine how much he's written since then!
P.S. I do intend to hear Brian, but it looks like most of his music is out of print or never recorded. :( Well, the Naxos recording of the Gothic seems like a good place to start. :)

Thanks! I'm late for work, so I can't listen now. I'll give it my undivided attention as soon as I get home.
I certainly like this forum the most! I also follow the classical music section in a Norwegian hi-fi forum. From time to time I post on the rmcr. And infequently I check the music section in the Naim forum.
I don't have time for more than one classical music board, and this one is by far the most interesting, both in terms of the board's software and in the participants. I do browse classical music blogs--maybe 20 or so--regularly, and Blognoggle (http://www.blognoggle.com/classical.html), a classical music "blog aggregator" (i.e., that compiles extracts from posts) is a big help.

Great, GGGGRRREEG. But I warn - not everything is great qua sonics or even performance. But it's better than nothing. If you're new to Brian, listen to symphonies 8 and 9 (as I said to Corey), and then listen to Elegy and the 28th and the 30th. Just to get the hang of Brian's distinctive and, for some (many?) people, difficult style.

Those six movements comprise the Gothic, under Boult (there is a txt file about it, too). That last movement is very long and I had to split it - if people want it as FLAC files they have to join it themselves. Otherwise they can just download it as an mp3.
So:
I- Allegro assai - attacca.flac
II- Lento espressivo e solenne - attacca.flac
III- Vivace - attacca.flac
IV- Te Deum Laudamus - Allegro moderato.flac
V- Judex crederis esse venturus - Adagio molto solenne e religioso.flac
and then, in conclusion, either
VI- Te ergo quaesumus - Moderato e molto sostenuto.flac.001
VI- Te ergo quaesumus - Moderato e molto sostenuto.flac.002
or
VI - Te ergo quaesumus - Moderato e molto sostenuto.mp3
If you can't manage FLAC files, I'd be willing to convert them all to mp3s...

You're welcome! Certainly lovers of British music must at least have listened to
one Brian symphony, just to know what he sounds like.

What sort of player do you use? Flac is simply a lossless format, whereas mp3 is lossy. I always play my music on the computer. I use foobar2000, which plays almost any sort of file you care to mention (free download)...

No, if I'm a free user i have to wait a bit. That's perfectly fine, though, i'm on 2 and there's 4 more. It's only like a 14 min. wait between each. If I'm lucky, i can even get it done today.

Jezetha, thanks for the Brian links. I downloaded the Boult/Gothic mp3s. Now I'm going for the FLAC. :)

Excellent! Remember - the Gothic is in two big parts, with three movements each: Part I is purely instrumental, Part II a massive setting of the Te Deum...

Oh, I'll figure it out.
;) I have the Lenard, and I DL'd the textfile, too, so I won't have any problem tagging anything, either. First impression of Boult: There's a much better feeling for the details of the music than the Lenard. It shows a real understanding (like Mackerras, I think).

Agreed. Boult has much more urgency, I prefer his interpretation. And I love the sense of occasion you get with the Boult (Brian is in the audience, 90 years old)...
And now I'm off to bed (2 AM).

I used to visit Metal-Archives forums (http://www.metal-archives.com/board/) but got bored once I realised how excessively pretentious hardcore fans of all types of music are - at least classical listeners generally have the intellect to back that up - with other genres it's like watching cripples fight. I do a brief scan of new threads once every month or so.
Now I pretty much only visit GMG and 4chan (http://img.4chan.org/b/imgboard.html).
4chan is a awesome site,
Sarah, thank you for pointing me towards it, I am a frequent visitor these days.

Hehe, there are hundreds of camwhores like that - I don't need that kind of attention ;D The new embedded mp3 on that place is driving me nuts.

I am amused to no end, in seeing how all sorts of people are suddenly discovering the internet equivalent of the Mos Eisley cantina (for Star Wars fans)! :D

I'll be damned if I have time for another forum :P I've long abandoned the idea of getting hold of all that's going on here.
I only go to eclassical and Berkshire to keep track of what's new in terms of recordings. And Otterhouse every Friday since he changes his stuff weekly.
Boy, I already thought that I've responded to this thread! :-[
Only 2 other forums that mirror my interests:
Woodworking Forum (http://www.woodnet.net/forums/)
Computer Tech Forum (http://www.cybertechhelp.com/)
I do belong to a few others, but rarely visit them - thus, just 3 @ the moment - don't have time for more! :D
This site monopolises my time but I also visit and contribute to the Miaskovsky website, which is a very good, informative site:

Also Film Music on the Web, Vaughan Williams Society, Asian babes etc hahaha ;D
