Music
-
I tend to listen to abit of everything. My music taste is quite diverse thanks to the constant playing of music by my folks when I was growing up! Some favourites include Fun Lovin Criminals, Cypress Hill, Coldplay, Turin Brakes, Massive Attack and many others. But I can listen to anything. Rolling Stones, Beatles, 10cc, any blues artist. I listen to some soundtracks most of the time at work to drown out the noise in the background (open plan office) like Jurassic Park, Lord Of The Rings, Gladiator and even the odd bit of Harry Potter! Am I mad for having a diverse taste in music? :wtf: Live to ride. Ride to live.
Am I mad for having a diverse taste in music? Hell no!!! I listen Cypress Hill and Cannibal Corpse, Cradle Of Filth and Elakelaiset, Sepultura and Tanita Tikaram... Thank God there's lots of GOOD musickkkk...;P;P;P;P;P Sepultura in my heart, can`t take it away... (Max Cavalera)

Hello everyone! I s'pose everyone's already got the headache 'bout this war, politics and all this s*hit. Maybe some music instead? Just write what kind o'music is your favorite (and why)... As for me, I like heavy style. Black, doom, gothic... And The King, of course :) P.S. I don`t like this war at all, but like we said yesterday, life still goes on... How Will I Laugh Tomorrow ...

I like virtually any kind of music. I used to avoid R&B and Rap but of late there have even been some good Rap and R&B tracks (M&M ;) is talented wether you like him or not.) Right now on my playlist I have Bob Marley, Queen, NIN, Rob Zombie, U2, Orbital, Faithless, The Prodigy, Rodriquez, Roxette, Kundun Sound Track, Gladiator Sound Track, CTHD Sound Track, ATB, GOA Trance, Cat Stevens, Creed, Enya, Enigma, Vangeles (sp?), Legend B, Nirvana, Limp Bizkit, Greenday, Oasis, Blur, Moby, Paul Oakenfeld, UB40, and lots more.

All my mates listen to only one type of music and that's it! They never see further than that and just take the mickey when I tell them I've bought something like Norah Jones! Thank goodness for music in all it's shapes and forms! Live to ride. Ride to live.

Right now on my playlist: The Sisters of Mercy, The Nefilim, Fields of the Nephilim, Nightwish, Front Line Assembly, Funker Vogt, CCCP - American Soviets (weird, but creative music :)), Carl Orff - Carmina Burana.

" Carl Orff - Carmina Burana. " I was looking for a good recording of this one.. Which one are you listening to?? Bijesh --------------------------------------------------
I don't know actually. I got this one (mp3) from a friend. It may most likely be a track from a soundtrack album. The track is of course O Fortuna. :) -- Shine, enlighten me - shine Shine, awaken me - shine Shine for all your suffering - shine

Thought it was the name of a U2 album or a music genre :-D So to me Limp Bizkit are quite different and worth listening to (though judging from their hidden track where they spend 20 minutes laughing and jerking around I don't think they themselves are very, errr, worthwhile individuals.) Will ask my co-worker on monday about Pop, he knows plenty about music.

Strika wrote: bluegrass What's this? I never heard of this before It is a web dev company based in South Africa and the UK. I work for them... :rolleyes: A type of music. Think hillbillies, banjos and blue grasslands with free running horses. If you ever watch Deliverance the movie, that is bluegrass.

Mostly, hard rock, blues, and electronica, but I also like hip-hop, classical, bluegrass, pop, metal, etc. There's good and bad in every genre, so it's really hard to say. In the past week I've listened to CDs from: Coldcut Crystal Method MIDIval PunditZ Darius Rucker Metallica Karsh Kale Groove Armada Talvin Singh Faith No More Eminem ...

I too have a diverse tast in music. I was a music major in college, so I do have a leaning toward classical, blues and jazz but... I'll listen to upbeat stuff from Delerium to Eminem when I want to get pumped up. Sometimes when the words are distracting, I go for baroque!! But I like soundtracks too for long sittings. Broken Arrow, Pearl Harbor, LOTR, Titanic (sad aren't I?), Lion King, and Fight Club. I like the musical sound tracks like Little Shop of Horrors and Moulin Rouge too. If I want to chill, I'll listen to Enya or something classical.

Strika wrote: Just write what kind o'music is your favorite (and why)... Jazz. Not the "smooth" elevator type but the old stuff - Coltrane - Hampton - Pass - etc. Because it evokes emotions with layers of different colors of music. From the call and response type of the blues to the underlying sadness and loss of edpectations of "Scotch and Soda" to the happy feel of "Alexanders Ragtime Band" to the contradictions of "Summertime".

It is really a very sophisticated type of Scotch/Irish/Mountain music that probably requires the most from the musicians in terms of technique and musicality. It is generally played at a very fast tempo on all acoustic instruments - by fast I mean fast . The notes are generally all 1/8 notes ( for the musically inclined ) and played in 4/4 at about 140-160 BPM. That ttranslates into 280-320 notes per min. Guitar - mandolin - fiddle - banjo - and bass are usually the instruments used although dulcimer and hammered dulcimer are used also. In the hands of a really good band it is a thing of beauty to listen to.

Start at the roots with something by Bill Monroe- maybe some of the Smithsonian Recordings. Then look at Ricky Scaggs ( "Bluegrass Rules" is a good dtart ). Then look at the Stanley Brothers ( "Clinch Mountain Boys" is great. Even Bob Dylan is on one cut with Ralph Stanley ). Then check out Alison Krause and her band Union Station for some real pretty stuff. If you are guitar centric like I am you will also enjoy Tony Rice - he is fantastic. Try "The Pizza Tapes". Not exactly Bluegrass but its Tony and Jery Garcia and David Grishman. Tasty stuff indeed with a bluegrass slant. For some more modern type bluegrass try the Tony Trischka Band. "New Deal" is a good one to start on. There are literally hundereds of good cuts aut there.
