Music
-
I love all kinds of music, really all kinds. I would almost say that I live for music. I can get behind pretty much anything if it is done well and played in the right environment (except smooth jazz/easy listening type stuff). BUT, I don't really understand the stuff you guys are listening to above. I have enjoyed it at times (getting tattooed, before a hockey game, etc). I know music is more than just what you hear, it represents who we are and all that but do you guys listen to that driving in your car (not on the way to commit a violent crime). I mean like driving with your girl, going to dinner, "hey baby, check this out", hit play and some guy is fucking screaming bloody murder in front of a group of musicians playing as loud as they possibly can? Does that happen? I really don't mean to knock it. I know that it takes talent and it makes some people feel the way they are looking to feel when they play it…I just don't understand how that can be someones primary source of entertainment.
Riff, El, anyone else, I really would love to get your feedback on this stuff. If you guys dig it then I really am behind you guys but please help me understand. If it's something that I can understand...
I enjoy a wide variety of music. and yes I do this:
"I mean like driving with your girl, going to dinner, "hey baby, check this out", hit play and some guy is fucking screaming bloody murder in front of a group of musicians playing as loud as they possibly can?"
It's because she enjoys that style of music as well. But, there are many more times when I am listening to stuff like Tom Waits, or Steve Earle. Or classic stuff like The Beatles, or Zeppelin. Or even old country music. It all depends on where my thoughts are at the moment.
I know some people who listen to one specific genre and don't go beyond that. I just can't relate to that.
I do really enjoy heavy music, but it's not my primary source of entertainment. There's just so much stuff I'd miss out on if it were.

i grew up on country music. first album i ever owned was marty robbins "gunfighter ballads"

My gf pretty much hates everything I listen too. That still doesn't stop me from playing the new Disma record for her in her car on a nice dreary Saturday morning. I told her it was the best death metal record in years. She was unimpressed.

Is Daryl still in disma?

Such a weird video, but somehow I find it quite uplifting…
Very interesting discussion btw, like Barun it's hard for me to grasp why people enjoy this kind of "aggressive" music. No hate, I really appreciateted the insight!
Personally I've been listenening to a lot of Hip-Hop lately because I found a lot of nice underground stuff that made me believe in it again. But like many around here I listen to all kinds of genres, as long as it somehow touches me emotionally. Sometimes I can listen to music purely on a technical level too, appreciating bass lines, drum fills and such... But mostly it just boils down to a gut feeling, a simple reaction like "I'm feeling this!". Or not.

How did I not think about this tune before?????
INDIGO BLUE by the great GILBERTO GIL, on his fantastic 1984 "Raca Humana" album (which features Bob Marley's Wailers on the superb "Vamos Fugir" track)
