It never ceases to amaze me how separated my tastes are from my peers. I haven't really had an opportunity to get into music much, mostly because all my free money goes to gaming, but I really dig what little I can get my hands on. Though I only get what I can hear on the radio (and on one or two occasions, artists that my parents like), the artists I really dig are (in no particular order):
Sarah McLachlan Norah Jones Kris Kristofferson John Mayer Clay Aiken The Barenaked Ladies That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Dunno why I seem to be wired so differently. :-/ |

Mostly jazz and film music. I love the freedom of expression in jazz. Film music is pretty weird stuff when you take it out of itīs context and listen to it as abstract music.
Jazz: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Django Reinhart, Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck and the list goes on and on and on.. Film Music: Angelo Badalamenti, Danny Elfman, John Williams, Vangelis (Blade Runner OST only), Bernard Herrman, Ennio Morricone, Jerry Goldsmith, Carl Stalling |

Lately I have been a fan of Robert Randolph and the Family Band.

I listen to these guys (channeling David Brent and Bono is quite the feat). You need to wait past the introductions. It's worth it.

I like the 'Red Hot Chili Peppers'. I think their new album is great!

Hm, at the moment I'm loving all sorts of music.
Lately I've been spinning these albums on my iTunes: !!! (Chk Chk Chk) - Louden Up Now Psychadelic/punk/jazz/just weird shit - amazing  John Coltrane - Giant Steps I've only really just got into jazz. I'm hooked though - I would love to hear any recommendations of more good jazz albums/artists? Beirut - Gulag Orkestar Extremely talented gypsy/folk music. Sounds wonderful. And for drinking/partying - Black Flag go down a treat!!! |

I just bought (gleefully I may add), Sarah McLachlan's new Christmas album - [COLOR="Blue"]Wintersong[/COLOR]. It has a cover of River (my favorite Joni Mitchell song) and a cover of Song For A Winter's Night (a terrific song by Gordon Lightfoot) and other Christmas songs*. I can think of no one better to cover River than Sarah. I know it's a bit early to be listening to Christmas music but I had to pop the CD in.
*Track list: Happy X'mas (War is Over) What Child Is This? (Greensleeves) River Wintersong I'll Be Home For Christmas O Little Town of Bethlehem The First Noel/Mary Mary Silent Night Song For A Winter's Night Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas In The Bleak Mid-Winter Christmas Time Is Here (featuring Diana Krall) Quote:
Confusedly yours...

Dragon Force are a completely mental and murderously fast power metal band!

1. a bit between Easy Listening/loung/Exotica and Jazz would be: Jun Miyake - Glam Exotica Burt Bacharach - ALL ALBUMS ! Roberto Delgado Joey Altruda - Cocktails with Joey John Zorn - "The gift" - itīs between jewish music, exotica, surf and jazz 2. guitar Jazz: Wes Montgomery Charlie hunter 3. Jazz with strong jewish background: John Zorn (masada albums - I think there about 12 or 13 (donīt know anymore / Warning: Some of that albums are some kind of chaotic free-jazz) Bar Kokhba Sextett (listen to the Album "Zevulun") itīs just great.. Frank London - Brotherhood of brass David Krakauer's klezmer madness Tim Sparks - at the rebbe's table 4. Jazz/Funk: Billy Cobham Dave Weckl 5. Free Jazz: Albert Ayler John Zorn 5. Be-Bop Oliver Nelson - Blues and the Abstract Truth & Verve Jazz Master 48 6. Electronic Jazz: Gerardo Frisna Nicola Conte And last but not least.. i donīt know how to put this.. maybe "general Jazz" its "Raymond Scott" - I just love his music - itīs very humorous. He did some scores for cartoons and he also was a pioneer in electronic music. (he started in the 30īs) Hope, you find something you like, Marc aka PinkPanther Last edited by PinkPanther; 11/12/2006 at 02:47 pm. |

Lately Ive listened to The Abyssinians, Ali Hassan Kuban and Sainkho Namchylak a lot. Before that Gillian Welch, Neil Young, Exuma, Ali Farka Toure..
I recommend you listen to any of those artists but Ali Hassan Kubans "From Nubia to Kairo"  is really a pearl. The same goes for the first record The Abyssinians  and Exuma  released as well. Last edited by abdallah; 11/13/2006 at 01:52 pm. |

Today, I've been listening to my Eddie From Ohio CDs. I hadn't listened to them in quite a while and I fell in love with them all over.

Not that I suspect anyone cares, but the music from SiN Episodes: Emergence is really good. Possibly better than the rest of the game. You can check out some clips from it here.
