As this section is about anything, why not talk about music.

I could live without books and possibly films but not without music. Except maybe military marches I can appreciate about anything from jazz to classical through pop-rock. I'd say I'm rather a pop-guy though. Faves include The Beatles, Kate Bush, Lana Del Rey, Pink Floyd, PJ Harvey also Shiina Ringo and Utada Hikaru for J-pop.

This was released 40 years ago on this very day, Cloudbusting by Kate Bush:

I was mostly a prog. rock / synth-pop guy but I got bored of the repetitive structure of pop songs (intro, verse1,chorus, verse2,chorus, optional bridge, verse3, outro). I kept wanting the intro or bridge to be the whole song, without all the dumb rhyming lyrics and repetition.  For example,  Pink Floyd's "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" begins brilliantly with "Signs of Life": back in the 9th grade I'd never heard anything like that. But the rest of the album is pretty much all boring mediocre dinosaur-band, guys-with-guitars stuff.
AFAIK, Signs of Life is forgotten and was never done live but Learning To Fly (instantly appealing, but boring once you get to know it) is on all the classic rock stations.

Then in 1989,  I found Jean-Michel Jarre: Oxygene, Equinoxe, Champs Magnetiques, and Rendez-vous and I was done with prog-rock and pet shop boys. However, Jarre kind of lost it in the 00s and started making repetitive techno-sounding crap, often in collaboration with young idiots.

Now I'm looking for a new favourite symphonic synth wizard one-man-band.

No, I don't think much of Vangelis: while one mustn't speak ill of the dead, I think almost all his catchy songs are either variations on Chariots of Fire (which sounds a lot like Jerusalem, btw) or  hideous, tedious, cacaphonous experiments (Heaven & Hell, Beauborg, Soil Festivities to name a few).

My music favorites are uh, let me check my Itunes, apperently the most listened to music on this computer is "Possum Pizza Song" which I pulled of a Prank site that I found while hitting the random button on Wiby.

Followed by "Here comes the future" by World Party and Back Stabbers by the O'Jays.

Beyond that I am sucker for TWRP, the PROTOMEN and various Y2K topic bands. Yes it is weird that two of my favorite bands are costume bands.

I've been to clubs where such music is played. Not exactly my cup of tea, but why not. It has its place. Like everything else.
I certainly hear influence of this piece there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_NStTkSRQw

I think that song could be quite a bit faster with some harder drums

that's pretty cool, do you have a copy of "Venetian Snares – A Tape For Bob From Aaron" by chance?

[torvan]

Man, I listen to just about anything to be honest. Recently discovered community radio and now hear still more.

I can fire up iTunes and not hear the same song for 73 days, because my tastes are so wide.

Right now Olivia Newton John is singing "Magic" and before it was Rubenstien's "Romance in E Flat Op 44/1"  Before then was "Sunny" by Boney M.  Coming up next is "Inside All Us" by Creed.

I am not a typical electronic music fan, I normally come from heavy metal but got interested in industrial and EBM when I heard Einstürzende Neubauten and Die Krupps the first time.

Any way, Ugress. I heard Ugress the first time on mp3.com, when mp3.com was the major place to release music, some 25 years ago, and back them I liked the Ugress sound. Some say he stole loops from common known dubplates, when stealing loops was not so common yet, so he was being called a "lamer" back then.

I like the style thematic and sound of this quite recent track, it's a full concept album. Don't mistake this for something new and fancy, this stuff has deep roots.

Good groove, but, yeah, new and fresh it is not. That sound is more than 40 years old

Yea Düsseldorf school! Recorded in Conny Plank's Studio, using the amazing Brontologic Sequencer, you can imagine the smell of Ozone in the air when it was running.

DAF's "Der Mussolini" uses the same bass line, iirc it was the same guy behind it but later the two continued without him.

But yes what is new music? Is it new? Is it music? (A quote by Falco, the only Austrian to ever land a #1 hit in the US billboard charts).

So here is another one of my eclectic music selection, this time something as old as possible:

Do you like folk music? If the answer is yes, then I highly recommend this young artist by the name of Jasmine Elise. Talent, authenticity and dedication have little to do with status and celebrity. She's not a household name (zero promotion, rarely plays far from her birthplace in the South of France) but she's an accomplished musician. She's French of English parents ...

Nice guitar picking technique, delicate arrangements, heavenly voice for either covers or self penned songs
