hey vslayer...you got lots o' blocks dude
ok, my taste is eclectic, i like loads of different forms of music. some i dont even know the labels for
Blues, Jazz, Flamenco, Cajun, Bluegrass, Rock, Hip Hop, Saharan African, Morrocan Sufi, Drum&Base, Funk, Rap, Dancehall, REggae, Bosa Nova, Salsa, Celtic, 12the century nuns singing, Classical European, and Indian, new experimental classical, Bhangra, Native American. Australian Aborginee, Pygmies, ... ...and on and on
most music i tape spontaenously from radio shos that do good qualitiy music
i LOVE compilations i have made myself....where the mood changes, sometimes dramtically. have lots of tapes
best way to open yourself up to M U S I C which is global and intedimensinal is to TRip and listen to stuff you wouldn't normally listen to....and/or just listen openly and let feelings of discomfort flow over you...until it clciks
i am not saying i like EVERYTHING...HATE coporatized crap. and too-mechancial sounding elctro beats....
these musics--for me--are like masks. you can feel into them, become the FEEL of them if you open yourself to muSIC, instead of limiting your creative capacity
what you notice about some people as they get older is they get a block aboutother musics than they loved in thier prime time. though i have also encountered this old-timer syndrome with youngens, who get really disturbed if you play music they're not familiar with!
