Day 04

Day 04 – Your Music

Here comes a random post, because there is no rhyme or reason to anything I listen to. Infact, I'll probably offend all of you at one point or another here when you'll stop and say to yourself: "He listens to that?"

For starters, I don't have a favorite song. Queen is probably my favorite band. I go on different kicks of different music all the time. Over the summer I went on a serious Top 40 kick. I'm still enjoying it, but its starting to lay off a little. I'm always good for a hit from the 90's and early 2000s, those songs are usually just fun.

Generally speaking for driving I enjoy things I can sing along to and that are fast/heavy music. Slow music in the car puts me to sleep, which I've heard is a bad thing while you are driving. Yes I sing in the car. No one can hear it, unless you are sitting next to me. If you don't like it, sing louder, or sit in the back seat.

I really like 40s big band music and jazz. I think its great music to have in the background while you are focused on something else. It's the music I like to listen to while I'm writing (like right now) or even when I'm with people chatting and having a good time.

Christmas music. Its past Halloween, which means I won't say no to Christmas music, but I also won't force it upon others. After Thanksgiving that changes. The day after Thanksgiving is the day I decorate my room (or apartment in this case) with the Christmas Tree, lights, and stockings (maybe I'll get a wreath this year too so my apartment smells like pine) along with a ton of christmas music. I like the classics along with the newer stuff. Trans Siberian Orchestra is fantastic too. Favorite Christmas song is actually "The Christmas Song"

Also, the Grinch is great too.

You might be wondering what is playing right now. I'm currently listening to "Believe it or Not" by Joey Scarbury. It's an 80s classic, and it reminds me of my short stint at Cedar Point. This song played in the queue of my favorite coaster there, Magnum XL-200.

And you thought I couldn't fit coasters into a post about music. How wrong you were.

That reminds me, I miss Cedar Point a little. They treated employees a little better than they did dog poop, but it was still good.

I don't like country music. I never really have, and even after listening to it way too much in Eau Claire from various roommates, I still don't care for it. Sorry folks.

I don't enjoy rap all that much. Unless it was from when I was in 8th grade during my "Jordan Phase." I call it that because I bought Jordan shoes during that phase, which should answer why I liked rap back then.

I've always loved Classic rock, probably always will. I'll do musical theater on occasion, its good to sing along to. I just really like music. My apartment is never quiet when I'm home. There is always something playing. Always.

Grooveshark is my best friend. If you don't know about Grooveshark yet you should visit www.grooveshark.com and check it out. It's like Pandora except you pick your own playlists of whatever music you want. It's 100% legal and web based, and has every song you could imagine ready for you to stream for free. It's a great service, and I use it all the time.

I think this is where I leave you. Until next time.
