Turn Up the Music
Home Alone.....
Monday, December 4, 2006 by Lantec | Discussion: Community
Here's the situation...my wife and son are out for a couple hours and I have the house to myself and I'm not expecting company or phone calls.
For me this means turning on some music and making the windows shake....
for me it's usually The Crystal Method, Vegas and/or Weapons of Mass Distortion....
The QUESTION...what do YOU put on when it's just you????

Joe Satriani, anything and everything!!! {right now anyhow}
But disputing taste in music is like giving a new pair of tennies to a sparrow! 
It's all good, and it depends on your mood!!!
As Jaffo said.... there is another thread for all this.... it's called: "People Will Hit Me but...."
Enjoy your day peeps and "CRANK" up the music!!!

Dancing? No, no. It was one of those bumpy off roads...

Sounds like we're on very similar wavelengths. There's a song for every mood and emotion....regardless of the artist/s, it's how that particular song relates to you at the time to reach the inner you: how it can make us aware of what we're really feeling beneath the stiff upper lip facade we all too often present to others to hide our true selves. For example, my father would never complain of being in pain, nor would he show others any kind of sad emotion, yet there were certain songs that'd bring a tear to his eye every now and then....and I'm sure there's plenty of other men out there who have shed a tear or two over a sad song or movie but would never admit to it.
Neither had I until hearing "I Will Always Love You" and one line in particular: "If I should stay, I would only be in your way...and so, I'll go...." At the time those words very much related to myself and a very special lady I was engaged to. Whilst she was a very career oriented person with dreams of making it big as a graphic artist, I was very much family oriented (with two children from a previous marriage) and quite simply I would have held her back, so I let go to follow her dreams.... knowing full well that I would always love her. I still do to this very day, not in a romantic way, but for the positive influence she had on myself and children.
Now Dolly's rendition of 9 to 5 does absolutely nothing for me, but there's a certain quality to her voice that gives similarly themed songs to 'I Will Always Love You' a sense of feeling/emotion that'll hit home on various occasions.
Anyhow, forget about the bikini (poetry in motion) holiday snap , let's just agree to agree on how fantastic music really is.
Ah! So it was you I passed that day....causing me to nearly run off the road.

| Personally, I listen to all kind of music. The most important to me, when it comes to music, is a perfect matching song at the right time and depending what mood I'm in. It can be with any singer or band. It can be everything from Beethoven to Rammstein, but a "lonely" guitarr- or a saxophone solo-performance can never be wrong. |

Nakamichi components (a true 150 Watts RMS) and home assembled speaker kits from a local Seattle company "Speaker Lab".
Both Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead bassist) and Roger Waters (Pink Floyd bassist) are fully handled by the speakers, as well as classical music. Sort or my 'testing' criteria.
Volume knob goes to 20 marks, but at 12 the walls and floor vibrate, and the sound is great.

I once had a home built component hi.fi system consisting of a Pye amp, combined with a Pioneer 12 band EQ booster and a Technics pre-amp....delivered 200 + Watts RMS through a pair of home made 5' speaker towers, each housing: an 18" Driver; a 12" woofer; a 10" midrange; 3 tweeters (hi. low & mid) plus a 10" horn up top....
Now that baby not only rattled the floorboards and rafters at my place on quarter volume, it could literally break windows and could be heard several streets away when cranked above halfway. Once got a "that thing should be outlawed" comment from a cop who attended my place regarding a noise complaint....
Sadly, it was stolen during a break-in while I was hospitalised for reconstuctive surgery after a serious motorcycle accident....didn't ever get it back but the thieves didn't benifit from it for long, someone torched their house two days later and everything went up in flames.

I agree.
The whole spectrum of music affects people in different way and at special moments in life. That's great because otherwise, we wouldn't have that many different and fantastic song writers and musicians out there.
Personally, I listen to all kind of music. The most important to me, when it comes to music, is a perfect matching song at the right time and depending what mood I'm in. It can be with any singer or band. It can be everything from Beethoven to Rammstein, but a "lonely" guitarr- or a saxophone solo-performance can never be wrong.
However, I haven't found that special moment when Dolly Parton would be perfect to listen to, and I'm sure it never will be. Sorry.
I haven't got a clue how this could happen, but I do believe that you'll agree with me when I say that music is fantastic, with or without a bikini top...
