Music

Radiohead anyone?

I love music - music takes up the majority of my life. This weekend for example - I'm competing in a classical piano competition and I'm attending a jazz-improv workshop. I'm a busy boy.

But anyway, I like all sorts of music. Rock, post-rock, jazz, classical, reggae, some rap, some ambient, etc.

Favorites: Radiohead, Sufjan Stevens, Sigur Ros, Elliott Smith, The Decemberists, Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, Andrew Hill, Ahmad Jamal, Lee Morgan, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Coldplay, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, the Benevento/Russo Duo, Soulive, the Dresden Dolls.... to name a few.

 

Country and bluegrass are my loves. <33 I also like contemporary rock.
Music is a huge part of my life, it's what I intend to devote my life too.

 

Okay, I have a small confession to make.

I'm not proud of it, but deep down inside, I'm a HUGE Hilary Duff fan. :eusa_danc

It's all just so likeable. God I'm gay.. hahaha

 

I love "play with fire"...so sassy. But none of that remix crap, the original for me please.

My secret crush...

 

Oh don't worry... I like her stuff too.

 

Play with fire is AWESOME!!! and I agree about the remix hahaha

And I'm glad I'm not alone :lol:

 

Hilary Duff is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Her music is so loveable!
AND SHE'S HOT!!
(not that most of you care...)

eh hem.
Actually, after reading this I put "Metamorphasis" on. To my favorite song. Coming Clean.


Spill Canvas is a pretty sweet band. They do mostly Acoustic sets but their one CD is more rock oriented. Good songs to download to sample- Dutch Courage, Black Dresses, The Tide.

One of thier lines stands out to me- "My secret is fatally gorgeous, I'd die for you. But, in this Bonnie and Clyde kind of romance, tell me what would you do? My secret is fatally gorgeous, I'd die for you. When your precious life is at stake, tell me, would you die for me too?"...

any country music fans, Chris Young is amazing too. and Montgomery gentry's new cd is just amazing.

 

*slinks back to the forum*
I have a confession too.

I adore N*SYNC....

there, i said it.
....feel better about duff, Brenton?

----
BUT ONE OF THEIR MEMBERS IS GAY! So that makes it a little better.
I think?

 

lol, yes, i feel a LOT better now, kelly hahah

No, I must admit that the only reason I didn't get into N*SYNC was because i never really listened to music when I was younger, so I guess that came a little early for me.

But I will level the playing field once again. Growing up, I was the BIGGEST Britney Spears and Spice Girls fan hahahahaha. In my defense, I was living in a neighborhood FULL of girls at the time.. haha

and I do care that Hilary's hot... She's pretty amazing, and I think everyone is a closet Hilary fan... deep down inside hahaha

 

Haha. I was obsessed with Britney Spears for a while when I was akid. I respected her values.
Go ahead and laugh all you want.

I don't think someone who's vagina is on the internet has much values either...

but i was 10.
*shrugs*

 

Haha, yes, well...I have a confession too.

I still am a Britney Spears fan. To clarify, I'm not a fan of her now, but I am currently a fan of her old stuff.

There. You two can feel better about Duff and N'sync, while I go hide in my corner of shame.

 

I'm definitely on the alternative side of the music spectrum. Mainly indie rock. At the moment I'm in a pseudo 60s and pseudo classical phase. Fav bands right now are the shins, the apples in stereo, dresden dolls, rasputina, and probably theSTART(which is more like synth-grunge-rock)

But of course I have my secret love of pop. I have Hillary Duff and old Britney Spears stuffed away on my iPod under a different name lest my friends find it...ha.

 

HAHAHA!!! I DO THAT TOO!!!!

And I have a whole secret collection of all the embarrassing music hidden away under pictures somewhere on my comp hahaha

I must bring up the fact that I'm not solely into these poptarts... :lol:
I am pretty much a fan of anything, so long as it has a tune... IE-no screamo haha and isn't rap. And the country has to be cool, like Keith Urban.

I am a huge Metric fan, the Killers, Imogen Heap, all sorts really.
:icon_bigg

 

I last listened to Britney about 2 weeks ago. Haha.

Keith Urban rocks, by the way. I adore him. How about Rascal Flatts? They're ''cool'' popcountry.

 

Hmmm.. not so much of a Rascal Flatts fan... but I must admit I have a real softspot for for Faith Hill. Basically everything from "This Kiss" on I enjoy but I only have a few of her songs in my collection.

 

Well I always listen to Britney Spears. But her stuff is getting bored. I'm waiting for her new album. And I just discovered more rock music myself.

It seems like I can't listen to a song more than 30 times in my life. I always have to switch songs on my iPod.

 

I don't obsess over any American musicians, but...

Your Britney Spears/Madonna ≈ my Ayumi Hamasaki
