I always like finding out what music people listen to. So here are three simple questions about you and the music you like. I’ll go first.
1) What genres of music do you typically prefer?
“classic rock” (60’s and '70s), country, rockabilly, 90’s alternative rock (mostly grunge), and whatever I pick up off the radio.
2) What have you been listening to this week?
This week I’ve been listening to a lot of Rolling Stones (especially off the Sticky Finders Album) and the Drive-By Truckers (especially off the Brighter than Creation’s Dark album). In fact, I am going to go see DBT this weekend with my better half.
3) What are you listening to right now?
“Karma Police” by Radiohead (one of those days). Wait, no, it ended right after I typed that. Now its REM’s “Losing My Religion”.
Many forms of “classical” music, new wave, experimental rock, 60’s pop / rock, some older country, some jazz
A LOTof Velvet Underground, Devo “Are We not Men”, , Charles Mingus “Pithecanthropus Erectus”, The residents “roadworms”, The Yardbirds “roger the engineer”, Schoenberg “Five Pieces for Orchestra”, Grisey “Partiels”, Dvorak “Seranade for Strings”
80’s punk; more specifically 80’s UK punk, or UK82 (and 80’s anarcho-punk). Some 80’s Scandinavian and Japanese hardcore/punk, and a few (80’s) US bands. 80’s and some modern post-punk, 80’s goth, and a little bit of “metal” (Motorhead) and some black metal. New wave (Tears for Fears; Men At Work; Devo; etc) and classic rock (Rush). Instrumental bands like Explosions In The Sky (and if anyone knows anything similar please make recommendations). Once in a while some classical music. I really like Ennio Morricone (did music for The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, etc etc).
Crass, The Apostles, Battalion of Saints, The Expelled, The Spits, Rudimentary Peni, Venom, and The System.
Prog Rock, Fusion, Psychedelic, Classic Rock, Funk, Weird Stuff
Magma, Moving Gelatine Plates, Dun, Eskaton, Area, Captain Beyond, Black Widow, High Tide, Black Sabbath, Betty Davis, Amon Duul II
Eskaton, by Eskaton, off of 1979’s Four Visions.
Yeah man, the Residents kick ass! I really like the “Duckstab/Buster and Glen” through “God in Three Persons” period. Try them on some “music appreciation enhancers”[;)] You might also like Renaldo and the Loaf, or any of the Krautrock groups (Kraftwerk, Popul Vuh, Faust).
The Residents are on tour now. They play in Chicago tonight, I think they should be playing wherever you are some time soon. Oh I dig on the Krauts, Faust IV is a top 10 album of mine.
The best though is when on the few times I get dragged to the gym by some one, I put on some skin tight black pants, put on a black sleevless shirt, put on my sunglasses, hair spray the fuck out of my hair, and bust out Kraftwerks “Pocket Calculator” as loud as I can and put it on an endless loop. It seems to create a ten foot perimeter around me, and who ever made me go to the fucking gym with them usually will not ask me to go with them a second time.
Almost anything save for country, and most ‘pop’. Not typically a fan of rap either, but I do enjoy selective hip-hop. Primarily I enjoy rock, classic rock, alternative, punk, drum n bass, jungle, metal, classical and jazz.
This week I’ve been listening to a lot of Rancid and Rage Against the Machine–though this is typical of every week.
I randomly listen to Rothbard’s For a New Liberty audio book (among others), which is what I’m listening to now.
I listen to everything although I go through cycles. I’ve been listening to alot of metal lately, ranging from metalcore to technical death. I also listen to electronica, mostly stuff like Aphex Twin, Mum, Booka Shade etc. I have over 150 gigs of music on my computer, all meticulously arranged by sub-genre and then artist. Math rock, Prog rock, Punk, Funk, Ska, Metal, Trance, Indie Rock, Classical, Jazz, Fusion, its all there
