yay music! (go back »)

December 3 2007, 2:12 AM

what i would love to put in "favorite music" but would look absolutely silly:

beethoven is a beast! classical, electronica<3, techno, rock, rap, hip hop, pop, punk, metal, alternative, countryy, r&b, reggae, ska,... use your imagination :D

js bach, rachmaninoff, chopin, tchaikovsky, paganini! prokofiev, brahms, saint saens, and wagner, some mendelssohn

i despise holst, schoenberg, and elgar (not all elgar, but all that i've heard)... vivaldi is okay in moderation. not the most creative music, but it's good for background. don't even get me started on pachelbel - i AM a cellist and i've done some pretty damn crazy stuff with the canon... the strangest would have to be playing it with my chin. the rest of my canon escapades are more normal though, ex. thumb only. string instrumentalists, you know the drill.

i think "classical" composers - not referring to the era - are such geniuses; i love it.
if you're a muse fan and can point out how js bach influenced their music in specific songs, i like you :D

i listen to an unhealthy amount of country. i work at a barbeque restaurant in texas so it's kind of the norm for me. actually, i listen to an unhealthy amount of rap and hip hop too. maybe i just listen to an unhealthy amount of music in general.

motion city soundtrack never fails.
blink182 was my first band love. i feel kind of pathetic saying that, but they had cute music. i still listen to them. sum41 at a close second. i had a musical pause in my life when i just didn't listen to contemporary (mass vivaldi and prokofiev in that phase), and then i found... i think the starting line, and then somehow i ended up listening to copeland's beneath medicine tree every single day for... at least a year. it did not leave my cd player forEVER.

beneath medicine tree is probably my favorite album of all time. i used to just listen to the words and totally dissect the music; it was practically inhumane. i'm really not sure why i did anymore, but i'd listen to percussion for all the tracks and write down descriptions, move onto bass, guitar, rhythm guitar, voice, and etc... it was absolute madness. i guess i love finding stuff in music and when i listen to that cd, i still keep finding things. it's a weird habit.

kennedy by kill hannah is practically my ultimate motivation song. i get pumped every time i listen to it. the percussion in that piece leaves me hearing it after it ends

the willing by emanuel ... i love - in moderation. it makes me think bunches and i just find it to be an extremely honest and blunt piece. it's not dazzling and it's not filled with extraneous noise (i'm not saying music filled to the brim with detail is bad), but it just seems very clean cut to me.

i will listen to emery for the rest of my life.

i don't care that marilyn manson isn't "socially acceptable," he's brilliant to me anyway.

i'm never going to ever really finish this entry. :)

denison witmer's music is absolutely beautiful. if you like music, you HAVE to check him out. he's folksy and indie, but the music is gorgeous.

come to think of it, my facebook music probably shows more what my taste is like.
