Ok … way off topic (which is what this bit of the forum is about)…but wondered what sort of music people like on the forum and what players favorite on-line radio stations/ DJ’s/ artists are. So post please – with (legal) links so we can hear them. Realise that a number of players are performers/ artists …so please post links here!
BTW no musical fascism or negative judgments on players or their posts …just tell people what you like, why you like it and where to find it.
To start it - I am into World Music …an eclectic mix of anything that isn’t teenage pop and has a decent link to a culture. I like everything from Brit punk, folk, Fardo, and trance through to Nigerian Dance Hall. I like talented musicians (period).
his programmes are available on-line – for your listening pleasure. Each one is radically, radically different and each one has a different bash at the establishment. The latest starts with a modern Arabic piece (fantastic stuff) and then features a great UK based folk singer and then goes on to feature some Arab/ French music.
Favorite artist is …god can’t decide…at the moment probably Paris Combo (French Café Jazz) caus I heard them in a bar with some friends on a rainy day in Portugal (while imbibing copious amounts of alcohol) and just got hooked on the mellow tones and ironic lyrics and it brings back great memories.
Right now I’m into less-heavy-than-in-the-past music, mainly the Beatles, Guster, The Arcade Fire, and Pink Floyd, to name a few. My favourite would have to be the Arcade Fire right now.
We have a thread here allready with what music do you like and you enter all bands and stuff.. Cant say I listen to the radio unless were bored with the cd’s we have in the car. And then its usually news and such, and with the great selections of radiochannels we have its little to nothing interesting of music I find there.
For what music I like, well -Everything. Jazz, Metal, Rock, Rock’n’Roll, Blues, Classic, “Oldies” type o Jazz (Frank Sinatra and such), even some Country-like, Arabic and Serbian, some Opera, some Pop, some Punk, Some Electronic, Progessive and more and more… Its hard to list all I like because I mainly just listen to whatever sounds good to my ears.
here is a link of what i used to like. ive been at most of those raves. Not the best one in their field but alot of examples from the past and one of the only big organisers that survived for more then 10 years.. http://www.thunderdome.com/portal/thundertv.php
I like everything in music that’s done with talent, or that’s innovating without paying attention to music categories. I can listen to hiphop, rock, jazz, disco or hardcore … depends on how its done
I use to dj sometimes at friends parties and i’d like to do it in a club soon (as soon as i move in a bigger town , in fact :P) . Maybe NEVERDIE will hire me to play in his ingame club :dunce:
At the moment i’ll recommend things like Puppetmastaz (nu album is übercool), Venetian Snare’s last album (talently melting classical music with a kind of hardcore jungle) , Stacs Of Stamina, Jason Forrest , Benoit Delbecq’s Piano Solo LP and many more… everyday brings a new good thing to listen to
I had a music review site a few years ago that i turned into a blog-style bookmarks site due to lack of time for writing articles.
This is www.tropur.com
You got links to cool music videos , funny stuff about music , innovative artists sites , etc … Some links brings to french sites, but only a very few. Feel free to check, feedback, and submit links (got my mail adress on the site) if you’re interested in.
MY BEST BANDS: Iron maiden, children of bodom, rush, metallica, nile, morbid angel, twisted sister, alice cooper, rammstein, slayer (anything with guitars) i like all sorts of stuff :laugh:
Props to the chap who mentioned v-snares earlier on, the guy’s a legend.
I’m into a lot of chiptune music, which is primarily made on old videogame consoles (c64, nes, gameboy etc). My favourite artists include Bit Shifter, Paza, Restart and Covox.
My second love is Breakcore, the chaotic offspring of dnb/jungle/breakbeat (and a genre in which venetian snares features primarily). Favourite artists here include Doormouse, Epsilon, Di-Bit, Saskrotch and Acrnym.
I also make my own music, and am featured on several netlabels and indie label compilations under the guise ‘Sabrepulse’. You can find out more and listen to my music on my myspace page (shameless plug there but :D)
this is kinda what i like now a days.. ( turn down the volume a bit :naughty: )
