Do you have taste in music?

Eh.... I have a lot of Rock/Metal/Punk influence where I live. so I listen to a lot of music in those genres.

[cassaruby]

danchall (rub-a-dub stylee) & reggae

also bob dylan & alot of various styles such as folk, rock, alternative, hip hop (del the funky homosapien), funk. some jazz sounds really nice. but it's mostly reggae dancehall for me.

It's so hard to stay hip and counter-culture these days.. all my obscure bands keep blowing up and getting all popular... It's like a full time job trying to find new obscure bands.

Why yes, I do have taste in music. Pretty good taste at that. Stranger the better, imo.

isitatomic tells the group, 'Hold on to your butts, INC a list of sheer awesomeness!"


*Ros Serey Sothear and Sinn Sisamouth (Amazing Cambodian rock musicians that disappeared without a trace at the outset of the Khmer Rouge regime)

*Nobunny, The Sonics, The Black Eyed Snakes, Reigning Sound (US garage punk at it's best)

*The Carter Family, Hank Williams (Nuf said)

*Selda Same (Turkish psych like you'd never believe)

*Tan Dun (Heavily experimental but still mainstream contemporary Chinese classical composer)

*Steve Reich & Arvo Pärt (Minimalism, hurray!)

*Bone Thugs, Kool Keith & all associated stage names, Big Pun, Prefuse 73, Quasimoto, Digable Planets (Hips and hops of all sorts)

*Hasil fucking Adkins & Moondog (One man bands ftw)

*Erik Satie, Dmitri Schostakovich, Kryztof Penderecki (Requisite European classical bases now covered)

*Captain Beefheart, the Residents (a squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast n' bulbous, got me?)

*Morgan Geist, Matthew Herbert (House... preferably from left field)

*William Basinski, Harold Budd, Akira Rabelais (Tape loops 'n ambient)

*Django Reinhardt, Sun Ra, Thelonious Sphere Monk, Rahsaan Roland Kirk (Jazz doesn't get much better than this)

*Soil & "PIMP" Sessions (Unless it's Japanese DEATH JAZZ!!)

*Retch, Dahmer, Gorguts (DEATH METAL!!!)

*Pilgrim Travelers, The Alphabetical Four, Thomas Dorsey (Gospel the lord doth totally fucking approve of)

*Torturing Nurse, Keiji Haino, Maja Ratkje (Noise and unleashed voice from China, Japan, and Norway respectively)

*Vladimir Vysotsky, Pjotr Leschenko (MOTHER RUSSIA!!)

*Lightnin' Hopkins, Booker White, Snooks Eaglin, Memphis Minnie, Ma Rainey (Top bluesmen and women)

*Carolina Chocolate Drops, Roscoe Holcomb, Bruce Molsky (Mmm, old-time revivalists who know what they're doing)

*Folkways, Rounders, and other great field recorded folk music compilations, especially Negro Work Songs and Calls with the railroad working songs. Damn.

* Lucille Bogan and EVERYONE on that compilation called "Copulatin' Blues". Holy shit, this stuff was recorded, low fidelity scratchiness and all, in the 30s and they were singing songs that began:

I got nipples on my titties,
big as the end of my thumb,
I got somethin' between my legs'll
make a dead man come,
Oh daddy, baby won't you shave 'em dry?

And I suppose I will end this list with that.

P.S. - For anyone curious to know more about any of the above, allmusic.com will suffice in most cases.

I'm surprised you didn't list Gogol Bordello.

I would definitely have listed Emir Kusturica & the No Smoking Orchestra before Gogol Bordello to cover the Balkans.

Fuck, wait... I didn't list Emir Kusturica. Oh well.

[Grento]

Right now it has been mostly Dubstep and old ska/reggae from the 60's 70's. There is a good show on WKCR(Columbia University radio station) From 6am-10am every saturday morning, really some choice cuts played.

I did listen to a lot of rock but nothing new has really been interesting to me, dream theater was the last band I was really listening to but I don't really like their newer stuff. Favorite musicians are Les Claypool, Mike Portnoy, Neil Pert, Zappa, John Lydon and too many others to name right now.
