Beware Michael Martin's music taste
-
I remeber that thread now that you mention it. It was a very educational and illuminating read. I wish Hassan joined in more often. Have you heard the album? I'm just wondering what the thought's of a young wipper snapper (your 22 aren't you?) are? I'm 32 and Chris is 31 (but lives in Canberra X| ) so what would we know. I'm waiting for John and Stan to join in. You know the oldies who like both kinds of music, Country and Western. Di-di-ding, ding, ding, ding ,ding, ding, ding ... "Squeal like a pig".

30, going on 21. Not 31! :eek: Heaven is a halfpipe is great, and Stash up (radio version) is excellent. This is weird, but I *much* prefer the radio edit of Stash up than the CD version (I don't give a *what*? Not a single *what*? Motha*yeah*!) Just seems more, well, clever than the "I don't give a small flying bird from Thailand, not a single..." cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

It's just clicked. Chris can't stand the music cause it doesn't remind him of the Porno organ music he is used too. :-D Yay, got another Chris/Porno shot in.

Actually, I've never heard of them. What kind of band are they? Are they similar to Limp Bizkit? I'll have to give them a listen and I'll let you know what I think. I'm waiting for John and Stan to join in. You know the oldies who like both kinds of music, Country and Western Ok, I'll admit it - having grown up on a farm, I have listened to more than my share of C&W. ;P I'll pretty much listen to anything that sounds good to me.

> I'm waiting for John and Stan to join in. You know the oldies who like both kinds of > music, Country and Western. That just shows that if you guys would start listening to C&W, you'd be in pretty good company. :) Actually, I listen to a little rock (ZZ-Top, Georgia Satellites, George Thoroughgood [sp?], Stray Cats), but C&W is my favorite. I was raised around it, and have personally met Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Porter Wagoner, Chet Atkins, Buck Owens, Roy Clark, Roger Miller, Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs (the last four of whom lived in my neighborhood). Patsy Cline is my 3rd cousin (I went to her funeral when she died). My dad played C&W when I was very young (up till I was about 9 years old). He and my mom divorced when I was 7, and he wanted custody of us five kids, but the only way the court would grant custody was if he gave up his music - so he did. According to everyone I've heard from, he was on the brink of breaking into the big time when this happened. Right now, he's playing bluegrass (a more accurate musical genre for the cited movie reference to Deliverance), and he still has the Gibson J-45 guitar he bought back in 1957, along with a Martin D-18, a Martin D-28 (a gift from Lester Flatt I think), as well as another Gibson. So you see, there's a lot of history there. For the record, I don't like about 98% of the newer people playing C&W because they're trying to hard to make their stuff cross-over to the rock charts. IMHO, it's a complete waste of talent and time. I primarily listen to old Garth Brooks (Ropin' The Wind was his last decent CD), George Straight, Dwight Yoakum, Alan Jackson, Waylon Jennings, and Riders In The Sky.

You've got less than three weeks left. Your holding on to 30 for dear life aren't you? :-D 24th October 1970, by my reckoning 19 more days and your 31.

Hey, how do you know I like C & W? I'll have you know that my preferred music is "classic" rock and roll. Led Zepplin,Cream,Stones, etc. I even enjoy a lot of the newer stuff even though I no longer know who the hell the bands are. There are some country artists I will listen to such as Johney Cash, Hank Williams (jr and sr ), Ricky Skaggs. But I cannot stand most modern "country and western". It sucks. I wish Garth Brooks would choke to death on his own vomit (even though he is a fellow Sooner). George Straight is not bad ( he is also a distant cousin of mine). ;) "I never met anyone I didn't like" Will Rogers.

OK - so I bitched and moaned about buying CD's that have 1 or 2 good tracks playing on the radio, only to find that once I buy it, those are the only two tracks worth listening to. To me that's totally misleading advertising. So Michael mentions OPM, and says apart from 1 or 2 tracks it's pure gold. So I buy. Hmm. 2 good tracks. The rest crud. :mad: cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)
If you like Faithless (the band, Insomnia, God is a DJ etc.) type music then get their latest CD (the one with We Come One). All but two tracks are great. How many coders here like dance/techno/rave music? I love it. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." - Chretien Malesherbes

Hey, how do you know I like C & W? Didn't. Went the typical stereotype, your from down South, so you must love C&W. Personally I like a great variety of music myself. From John Williamson through to the Sex Pistols. Also hate a lot of music, depends on the songs not the band.

Good to hear that someone else likes it. Haven't heard of 311, Sublime or Kid Rock will have to have a listen and see if I like them. Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself. Peace" - Victor Stone

for cleverness, cleanliness and subtlety, as So Michael is never going to win any points then is he? ;P context I once heard a dirty joke about the word context, but now is hardly the time or place... :-D regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." - Chretien Malesherbes

Asides from Heaven is a Halfpipe what is the other good song? Chris I would that your taste in music is the same as your taste in cities (to live in). OPM's Menace to Sobriety is pure Gold. :cool: I have been playing this CD to death over the last couple of weeks.

What is OPM ? They stole the album title from Ugly Kid Joe... Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet. Men with pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought Jewellery.

For *real* music, I recommend the second to last Megadeth album, Risk, and the one before that, Cryptic Writings. The album from Saliva is also worth a listen, as is the new Cult.

OPM are a band from the US. If you have listened to any radio station or music video program on TV in the last several weeks you must have heard Heaven is a Halfpipe. Even if you didn't know that is what the song is called. The album is an eclectic mix of music varieties all sung by the one band and I believe them to be original tracks. The albums brilliant, Chris has no taste. Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself. Peace" - Victor Stone
