Music!
So, I've been thinking about music lately. Someone asked me what I liked -- I think it was Angelo? -- and, well, I don't know. I like some of Amanda's music, but a lot of it is not my type of thing. And Paige has some good music, but again, some of it I don't like. And I don't know what to call the kind of music I like, either. So I've been trying to find out more using the internet and I have discovered something REALLY COOL!
Did you know that you can listen to and even DOWNLOAD music from the internet!? Isn't that great!?!

Ah, you discovered Kazaa? Or is it Napster? What'd you get?

Well, the first thing I discovered was this guy's site recommending a lot of fun and weird music. It's this one: http://www.kittyspit.net/erik/mp3/linkpage.html
And then I found a lot of other archives and people talked about Kazaa so I got that, but I dunno, it's hard. I like just going to bands websites and getting stuff. Some bands have lots of stuff up! And I don't like everything I've downloaded, but some of it is good.
I really like Laura Love. And Maroon 5. I downloaded their latest album because of the name: "Songs About Jane" Neat, huh?

Songs About Jane is a fun album, I'm sure you'll love it.
Careful with the downloading music though. A lot of it is techincally illegal and the RIAA may come after you.

Are you sure it's illegal? I mean, why would people have all this music up if it's against the law?

Because when people are really set on doing something, the law is but a minor obstacle.

There's a bunch of music up on the school server already, too. Although sometimes it's more fun to find it on your own. :)

Really? Could you come over and show me where to find it? Is it just your band stuff (and I really like your playing, too, do you guys have music up on the internet?) or everyones favorites or what?

Well, the band stuff is up there--and thanks. :) We don't have music up on the actual Internet that I know of, though, unless Doug's traded it to people.
The stuff on the school servers is mostly people's favorites, yeah--not very organized, though, and I don't think it says who uploaded what. I can definitely show you where it is.

Only been sharing stuff with Guido. Although foisting our music off on other people if/when we start writing our own kind of appeals to me. :)

Foist, bah. We practice enough until we can beg our music teacher to sign us, and then we make 'em pay through the nose. :)

You
You should take music next semester and maybe Alison can explain different kinds of music.
Not all the categories are very easy to explain though.
If you give some band names, maybe we can figure out what kind of music you prefer?

Re: You
I think I will, since I really enjoyed the dance class she and Professor Wagner taught.
I have noticed that. For instance, New Age and Electronica seem to be the same thing...?
Well, I like Enigma. And Basement Jaxx and Client and Simon Stinger and lots of stuff.

Which is which?
When I get back (which is tomorrow) we'll have to sit down and go through what it is you like of mine and what you don't. Mainly because I'm curious. *grins* I've also been picking up more electronica/dance type music (the stuff you would have heard at the club that time), which I'm willing to share. There's also some half-decent music stores at the mall, and I know someone who can access all sorts of stuff online - I can give him a ping and see if he can't come up with a sampler of sorts, once I have an idea of what to go for.

Re: Which is which?
Care to make this a group activity? I know my collection essentially consists of piano solos and orchestrials but... still curious myself.

Re: Which is which?
No problems my end - there's always screaming and running away from either of us if the music gets _too_ different from what we like. ;)

Re: Which is which?
I like the electronica/dance type music! I think that its my favorite. I like the blips and beeps and stuff. I would love to go through your collection with you! Music party!

Re: Which is which?
I can borrow some of Manny's stuff as well - he's more into the electronica than I am, the more hard-core stuff.
