I have the phrase “carpe noctem” tattooed on my arm for a reason. I feel most myself and at home when I’m chillin’ at my desktop with headphones on, listening to music, lookin for pix of hot chicks, watching game videos and whatever else. I want to share some of the music I listen to with you all.
My taste in music will weighs heavily on the electronic/house/dubstep/dnb side of things. I enjoy a little bit of trance, break beat, disco house, and more more more. This list has a little bit of everything. I encourage you all to just follow along with me this evening as we listen to some music, together.
As a suggestion to all friends with good tech gear, if your sound system sucks or if you’re in an apartment with shitty walls, put some headphones on and turn this shit up. It’s so good. Um, some of these videos are cool, but I don’t care much for them, lol. If you have slow interwebs, let them all load entirely before listening to them, that always ruins a song. Enjoy <3
i love cinema its such a good song
good choice ^ ^b
Duck sauce is one of my favorite sound so awesome

Ok. Take an old Jazz album. Not too old, though that works as well, because then there’s an extra generation gap.
An example would be something like the Dave Brubeck Quartet’s “Jazz Impressions of New York.” It’s an album of songs for a short lived TV show. They run the gamut from traditional to experimental (though not overly so, as it was strictly a commercial endeavour). In that way it illustrates “pop culture” Jazz in the ’60s, but done by Brubeck. In other words, it’s not the (his) best, but it also doesn’t suck. If you listen, liking music as you do, there’s no doubt in my mind you can identify the precursours of much non-mainstream music of today. Heck, at one time (even to some today) Jazz was de-facto non-mainstream to the point of protests and cries of it being the devil’s music.
Again. My idea; an example; awaiting your thoughts.
And yes, that was me too, but 140 characters is not enough for me :)
I’ll check it out. As much as I love jazz, classical, 80′s rock & love ballads, there are times where my heart’s desires are things of a higher BPM. It might just be this day and age, but it’s hard for me to go back to regular instruments, unless I’m craving it.
Maybe I’m just too old & have heard too much music over the years. I see patterns & trends in everything: even where none may be ;)
It’s just that I listen to pretty much everything & I can listen to hardcore post punk techno & hear bits of sampled hip hop that borrows from soul which cones from jazz that may come from a religious hymn.
At the same time, I can lmao creating a bluegrass version of an electronica song, like I did with LFA’s Battleflag lol :)
Thank goodness for playlists based on mood. I’m about to fire one up that is very mellow native instrumental, Mazzy Star, Leonard Cohen & Yes.
Zzzzzz… :)
Awesome music
