Opening music?

I feel like the opening music doesn't really set the mood for a lot of these...it's kinda sad and melancholic. I find myself turned off a bit by it. If the contributors are choosing it then I have no issues, but otherwise I'd prefer it taken off?

What do you all think?

When Erik Satie composed Gymnopedie No. 1, he marked it "Lent et douloureux" ("slowly with pain/grief").

Re: Opening music?

I think it is like a waxy sunrise of sorts on a chilly morning.
It does well the trick of gradually transferring the juxtaposed viewer from “here” to “there”, with a solemnity which consonantiates both with the “shy” as well as with the most “sassyish”/perky/explosive performances.

But I have the Sun and Jupiter in Cancer, so maybe it's just me...
I find it has a swell Heather-Woods-Broderick-like pitch to it.

I don't know. I've been wondering with meself here and couldn't come up with any answer as to “what other song could play whilst these proverbial curtains are being hoisted up?”

I actually prefer when there wasn't any intro music. I liked hearing the rustling and various noises in the beginning when contributors get ready. The intro music sort of puts me off.

It always makes me think of this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
