Music

[Jazz]

hip hop and D'n'B. And a slight influence on breaks.

I don't know what any of this means, but would like to. What is hip hop? What is D'n'B? And what does "slight influence on breaks" mean? Thanks, and I'll just sit back down in my rocking chair now.

 

[battlestation]

Death Cab for Cutie, Bright eyes, Sparta, Stars, Cursive, The Faint..... List goes on but that give you an idea.

Music is hard to put into words for me. I will try none the less. Hip Hop is the culture of rap. Rap is a rhythmic beat with rhyming lyrics. A lot like Shakespeare. Probably get killed for that statement. Lyrics range from beating up your girlfriend to full on empowerment of a ghetto culture and knowledge of self. D 'n' B is short for drum and bass. Main ingredient is drums coming in at at 160 beats per minute. In other words super fast. This is layered with heavy bass sounds (gonna need a subwoofer). These layers range from soul and jazz to full on head splitting sounds. Breakbeat is much harder to describe. Very heavy on the bass. Rhythmic and spiritual somewhere in between rap and d 'n' b. Said sounds started with popular dance and techno. One thing in common is that they are all very electronic. I will refrain from explaining why breaks and d 'n' b never caught on as far as pop music goes.

Some really good stuff mentioned. My list would be long enough to annoy people. I like stuff that gets radio play, but many of my favorites don't.

Moxy Früvous
f'loom
Mr. Bungle and Faith No More
R. L. Burnside (and lots of other hill-country Blues musicians, like Junior Kimbrough)
The Evolution Control Committee
The Crystal Method
The Art of Noise
I love The Complex by Blue Man Group. One of the coolest concert videos I've seen, and one of the best produced albums I've heard.
Mike Doughty (right Chase?)

and lots of old-school metal, like Priest, Maiden, and Sabbath.

Mr. Bungle is a name I have not heard in years. Good Call. Sounds like you are on the verge of breaks Mark. Check out FreQ Nasty, Bassnectar, Freestylers.

 

[Tangerini]

my god... none of you have any taste. :greenpbl:

Hum, so what would someone with "taste" like... pray tell?

Mike Doughty

Ooh I got to see him in concert it was a very small venue in Santa Fe. It was fantastic!

Pretty much my taste in music seems to coordinate with groups/singers who are male, British, and rumored to be gay.

When I call my wife at work i always have her put me on hold. They have this awesome acoustic guitar hold music playing. I don't know if it's spanish or italian based or what but it's absolutely beautiful. Anyone know of some outstanding acoustic guitar musicians? I don't want to hear anyone singing, just that awesome guitar sound.
