Musical Curiousity
 

What do people listen to?
I have an electic view of music...
I listen to new age, heavy metal, rock, alternative, country, techno, industrial, and classical. Really depends on the mood. Just curious what other people like and what your favorite musicians are and why?

I enjoy Rage Against the Machine - mostly because of the song "Wake Up" which was a real "wake up" call for me. Then of course, there is TOOL perhaps the two most influential rock bands of the 80s. I don't know for sure.

As far as alternative/new age... Enya is gorgeous and has the best voice in the world :)

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

What type of electronic music do you listen to i seriously hope you dont listen to actual techno? Trance,house,breaks are the only way to go.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

Lots of techno... though generally its trance.

Some of the CDs I own would include the earlier works of Paul Oakenfield, Brainbug, Art of Trance, BT, Gyrate, Fluke, Lucid, and Omar Santana (he has the best of the songs IMO).

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

big difference between trance and techno I would have to be on acid to enjoy techno but trance just gets me hyped and ready to hit the club or just to be energetic :) dj Irene pwnz joo only badass house dj that can get away with mixin in some old school blues and jazz and make it sound absolutely badass.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

Gyrate is a tool--he lives here and is a total prick. He can dance like a mofo though.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

Lol I just like his remixed song of "Crazy Train"

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

Not much into music now, but I do enjoy hip hop (mostly the underground ----, not too much of the mainstream stuff). I also find myself listening to r&b and the oldie oldies like the station k-big and coast and Kiis. I guess I just listen to whatever feels good to my ears, but sometimes I hate the radio and have to turn it off >:(. But no real preference anymore.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

I'll listen to anything, but personally I like all types of trance (vocal, melodic, hard you name it). It seems to be the only music I actually feel and have a love for. Right now I pretty much just mix and spin records, but hopefully soon I'll get into producing tracks etc.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

Classical rock is my favorite, mostly from the 60's and some 70's. However, I love all types of rock, and mostly everything else as well. I hate most hip-hop, rap. Sorry if you like it. Also, some country gets on my nerves. But I have an open mind to all music, if its good I'll listen to it.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

anything as long as its in my car....my sub sounds insane ;D

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

Does anyone know where I can host some mp3's or wav files? I make my own music, you guys might like it, I just need a place to host it.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

For those about to rock we salute you!!!!


Hosting Mp3s? As long as they are not illegal email them to me and I will put them up on a site for you. My email is chackoperformance@comcast.net

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

Trance download goldwave you can hook your turntables up to your computer and record also it has some badass editing ---- where you cn do pretty much anything you can think of to your music once youve spun a set and recorded it. Thats how me and some friends make demos and all are cds.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

I play a casio keyboard :) its fun to make weird noises but I decided just recently to sell it :(

BTW I also don't really don't like hip hop I don't know what it is, maybe the culture but I guess its because its really just poetry (I mean rhyming and words) vs. instrumentals. And I enjoy instrumentals. But when they mix sometimes its great, like Rage, Limp Bisquick, POD...

When it comes to country, there are some good songs, and then there are some that are just so ------- annoying.

You got to love some of Willie Nelson's classic songs. :)

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

I listen to stuff like 311 for the rock/musical factor, and I listen to stuff like Alan Jackson, Kenney Chesney, and Brad Paisley for the "white boy" factor. ;)

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

haha thats cool man. Its so interesting to see how like how no 2 people share the same interest in music.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

Oh yes by the way for any genre of music you like you can generally find some awesome streaming music at
http://www.shoutcast.com

Personally I listen to Chronix Aggression (www.chronixradio.com) and some of the New Age frequently. Always be sure to look for a bitrate of 128, otherwise the quality of the songs blows ass :)

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

I also have to add in that the following bands kick(ed) ass:

CandleBox
Type O'Negative
and Filter :)

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

Lately Ive been getting into bands like Stain,Lincon Park,System of a down,stuff like that.

I still like mostly rap music like the Roots,Common Sense,Tupac,Master Ace,and lots of other non main stream rap music.

As far as for electrinic music I like Drum&Base(jungle).My favorite artists are Aphrodite,Ganja Cru,and Roni Size.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

Aphrodite is awesome, the first rave I went to she was there.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

I grew up listening to alot of rock, alternative, and heavy metal, heres my good ole list, lol, oh , and this is at random, as my head churns...

metallica
megadeath
pantera
mudvayne
lynard skynnyrd
led zepplin
anthrax
green day
ratm
seether
perfect circle
godsmack
slipknot
shinedown
stone sour
taproot
toadies

etc....

But, as i became a stoner, i started liking lots of music i used to not listen to, you know, slower stuff, lol. I love to just sit and listen to the following...

sublime
311
incubus
bob marley
jerry cantell

and my new favorite artist....... Jack johnson

his music is awesome, hes a surfer that jsut picked up an acoustic guitar and started righting music, and its beautiful. Your typical lets get high and go surfing music, like me, and various other surfer beach bums listen too. Its soo relaxing, i highly recommend checking it out. You can find it at his site, or winmx has some.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

This music question is a tough one, i listen to just about everything. However 90% of the time i listen to rap.. i love the older ---- from nate, warren g and snoop.. However i think my favorite music is tekno/ trance ----... whenever it comes on i never change it and it gets me pumped up sick. a good trance beat always give me a reason to go full blast with the radio as well. Theres just no good trance stations on the radio (that i know of) and i never buy cd's so i find myself listening to rap and r&b

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

Tekno9998 I'll download that program and check it out. Sounds pretty cool and would actually help me out to replay and hear how I actually sound (and fix my problems ;))

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

SUBLIME best band ever. Hands down
but i like listening to just about everyone. although i don't really get into country or christian rock or any of that ----!

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

yes, sublime was awesome, it just sucks, cause they arent comign out with any new ----, all becasue of his drug problem, and overdose, with no one there to help him, but hey, do you think his music would have been teh same if he did it sober?

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

dunno think the beach boys could have been as successful without the drugs?

Theoritically it would seem that alot of "street" drugs effect the same portions of the brain that cause stress for musical purposes. Creating inspiration, or perhaps triggering some sort of an internal rhythym.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

I ilke pretty much any thing I listen on a regular basis to country, classic rock, emo punk. If you like.
Some of my favorites are Chicago, the ataris, luck boys confusion, stevie ray vaughn dave matthews.
If your into guitar some great players are dave matthews, stevie ray vaughn, john mayer(yes he is a great guitar player but not the new radio ----, his old acoustic ---- is good), the band yes, kenny wayne shepard, and of course my band.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

I can agree with you 100%. Country pisses me off and I can't listen to it. I'm not into music really anymore. I hate the radio. They never play anything good and it's alwasy just the same lame ass songs over and over again. I listen to the radio all day long at work to stop myself from going insane, but sometimes I have to shut it off because I get sick of hearing the same ---- over and over again.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

Dude, I was telling my friend about you. He's crazy into music and he just bought all this stuff for recording. (Pro tools for his computer, ect...) He has the ear to make some good instrumental stuff or to record bands and such, but he's got all this new stuff, but he needs to start working more on more serious stuff. I told him about your post where you said you make beats for fake ass rappers, and I know he can totally do that. What do you think would be a good starting point to make that small loot to get him moving on something. My friend is really passionate about this stuff, except he has "hobby a.d.d." He'll want to do one thing one day, and then start something totally different the next. Any good advice I should give him or websites for people that make music on thier own?
I told him he should start a website for other music nerds to sit there and make different ----. hahaha. He's really talented, but I would just hate for him to loose focus because he couldn't figure out where he should go with it. Making it is one thing. Making money off it is a whole nother thing.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

Depends on the tables you got, but if recording direct into a computer we have always experienced a lack of depth in bass and general poor standard of reproduction. The best protocol to use would be get yourself a mini disc player/recorder and record into it from your tables/decks and then dump it into the compouter for track splitting and editing, it's what ALL of my friends do, even my buddies who do the live gigs and concerts.


Personally I stray far away from the mainstream of music, I do like many grades of electronic music (yes techno is just an umbrella term). Trance was okay back a few years ago, when I didn't know any better, but I really can't stand it (no offense people). Most artists go mainstream, then it's music for the masses, I'm more into narrow venues.

I love the breaks, I'm the only person I know who has a passion for the breaks, I always have, always will.. back 10 years ago it was bass music (well some booty music) and the old school breaks, now I'm all about jammin' to the Nuskool Breakz.

Sounds from ILS, Hybrid (progressive breaks), Nubreed, Evil9, Kevin Beber, Gray Area, Omar Santan (his non hardcore work).. the list can go on and on (so much I can't even think of it off the top of my head).

Once one of those artists goes mainstream, I stop collecting.. must be the concept of it. I have a pretty damn big selection of music, if I'm listening to the radio it's classic rock (once again, can't stand the alternative or new rock crap).. went thru my semi-rap phase when I was 18, I realize I am white and haven't looked back on it.

Check out www.hybridized.org to download a good 6 or 7 gigs of fine quality music (totally free & legal @ high speed) if anyone is interested, there is a whole nother world out there to those of you who bought the paul okenfold cd "just cause everyone said it was cool" (but in reality totally sucks ass - IMO).

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

One of my buddies (CJ Vallely) in the band (www.untilwewake.com) does professional recording in his basement. He is also a drummer, and does mixes for ---- like this.

If you have a question, post it on the forums there HE knows everything about recording.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

WHAT THE ---- I POSTED THIS LITTLE WHILE BACK >:(

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

i hate music. i have to deal with it all day at work... when i come home i put some music on, and it litterally disgusts me so i turn it off.

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

we like chacko better ;D

Re:Musical Curiousity
 

dude i hope you know that Brad Nowell is dead thats the reason they havent come out with anything. But if you mean previously unreleased stuff then yeah your right but i have some of their bootlegged stuff! Long Beach Dubb Allstars kick ass too though. And would his music be the same...Hell NO! I guess all the good ones die young huh
