"if you're interested in (or working in) a certain trade, you should know the jargon"
This is a quote from another board.
My reply:
GET OVER IT! Use the terms interchangeable as most people often do, but know the distinction, it is YOUR responsibility as the listener, if you want the information.
But to chastise someone relentlessly? It's just ego-driven ridiculousness.

It's offense to me for someone to call a cast recording a "soundtrack." That's not what it is.
As for correcting others, I only do so to those not involved in the business in any capacity. Unless they post on BWW.com 
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

How could it possibly be offensive?
Incorrect, yes, but offensive, no.
And someone who corrects like that is, in my opinion, a prig.

Posted: 1/20/07 at 4:49pmCalling a Cast Recording a Soundtrack is not offense. It is just incorrect.
#5re: Soundtrack vs Cast Recording BULL%*$$%
Posted: 1/20/07 at 4:54pmPerhaps it's just offensive to me because a lot of people that I know in the industry say "soundtrack" over "cast recording" because it's shorter to say.

What's offensive about that?
Its like calling a motion picture a movie
or a musical comedy simply a musical
the word musical was originally an adjective and not a noun, but over time it changed, and the word "comedy" was dropped, for the sake of ease as well as the fact that some musicals were not really comedies.
But regardless, language changes, like I said before. Get over it.
No reason to be offended unless youre that kind of person.

To me a soundtrack is music from a movie a sound track.
a cast recording is from a musical because it is a cast recording.

Did you get yourself chewed out on the other board, and then just come here to vent?
Relax.

Does it make me a bad gay if I just call them "Recordings"? For example, I just bought the Spring Awakening recording this week.

Fenchurch, I have to say that I find the way you constantly attack people in highly vindictive ways because they don't share your opinion on one issue or another incredibly immature. I'm not attacking your opinions, I simply am sick and tired of you constantly berating people for not sharing them. Instead of arguing your point with civility, and perhaps changing a few minds, you adopt a "I'm right, your wrong, and since you don't see this you are a (insert insult here)". That's no way to get your point across. There is a lot of bashing on this board, but I find the way you post your opinions highly immature and irrational.

Here is my question: If you know a cast recording is not a soundtrack, then why call it a soundtrack? When it's not? To me, it's not really offensive, it just sounds ignorant. When you learn the difference between a cast recording and a soundtrack, then why call a cast recording a soundtrack? And it's not the same as calling a movie a motion picture, since those are two different terms for the same thing. It's like calling a play a movie. Two different things. See?
I don't get all mean and crazy about it. Some people don't know the difference. But if you do, and consciously choose to call something by the wrong term, then you only have yourself to blame, really. So why the rant?

Soundtrack: a track of different sounds
Cast Recording: a recording of a cast
I know which one sounds preferable to me.

My point is that regardless of which term you use, people know what you're talking about.
So why the picky-nasty-priggish corrections that go on and on and on all the time?

My point is, regardless whether people know what you're talking about, why purposely use the wrong term? To me, that says you want to appear ignorant. It's like people who use an apostrophe to pluralize nouns. If you say something correctly to begin with, people won't bug you about it. Problem solved.

Because sometimes it's a slip of the tongue, and since it is in such common usage, (no matter how incorrect it is), then I feel the terms should be interchangeable, or at least should be understood.
Again, I think its overbearing and obnoxious to correct someone like that.
Its like correcting people's grammar in a conversation. Its rude.

I don't know about you guys, but I think overtures are vastly underrated. Why don't we get them so much anymore? I miss them. And I think I like the 'Oklahoma!' overture best myself.

Posted: 1/20/07 at 6:13pmThe use of "soundtrack" doesn't annoy me too much, but I do agree with the people who have said if you know the correct term, use it. It's as simple as that.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
