expose myself to more music, and more diverse music

I used to listen to a lot of different kinds of music and kinda got away from it. My parents were great at exposing me to many different types of classical music. I’d like to expose my kids to all different kinds of music. I’ll start at the library, and I’m open to all kinds of musical suggestions.

I didn’t realize there were so many people like myself. Last week I was listening to Saxon, then I found this great blues/soul/classic rock outfit call Lubriphonic and then the other day I downloaded and listened to Charlie Daniels on my run. Way cool.

Anyone have any suggestions for some jazz or even classical? I’ve been thinking about diving in to one of those but I don’t really know where to start.

This is one of my New Year’s Resolutions :)

i’ve been telling myself i’d do this for ages..at the moment i listen to bands that are kind of popular, but i’d like to find out about new bands and listen to more genres of music to find other artists and styles i might like.

right now i really cant stand listening to my ipod can anyone recomend some bands music that i can try?????

My brother lent me an Edith Piaf CD not too long ago….I love it! Also found (and fell in love with) The Gossip and Grand Ole Party. Can’t wait to see GOP next month at Schuba’s! Going to be very exciting!! My (psychobilly/rockabilly) boyfriend turned me on to Tiger Army and The Horrorpops. I absolutely love hearing of new music/bands.

What will come up next???

I got a gift certificate to Amoeba Music and I don’t trust going and looking because they have such a vast collection, I’d get overwhelmed. So, I’m gonna have to go in with a list. I’m really excited though. Plus this just reminded me that I’ve got an ipod that I haven’t used yet and there’s tons of stuff I could be downloading… But the nerd in me is all about NPR podcasts... and free lectures

My taste in music is already more elaborate than any of my friends, but I think I am far from satistfied with it.

I don’t hate listening to my iPod anymore! And I now have lots of “world” music which fun because I have no idea what the vocalists are singing about! My big thing lately has been accumulating a blues collection, fortunately the state library has been very helpful in achieving this goal :)

Listening to records is all I do. If you EVER want to hear something you’ve never heard before, just contact me and I will SHOWER you with BEAUTIFUL MUSIC! I listen to so much. Mostly obscure/underground/vintage stuff, so there’s a good chance most of you have never heard it. I just devote myself to learning about different groups, listening to records, experienceg, enjoying, and really living in the music. From The Velvet Underground to The Holy Modal Rounders to Moondog to The King Khan and BBQ Show to Tom Waits to Mulatu Astaqua to The Pogues, I dig it. I hate MOST music that is/has been popular. I’m not one of those assholes that just doesn’t like stuff because other people like it, pop music just hasn’t been that great since the 50s and 60s. Exceptions like The Beatles(obviously) and the first seven records of Bob Dylan (famous for a damn good reason) can be found in my massive record collection, but I would just LOVE to share some stuff with anyone who’ll listen, because the indescribable joy that I get out of listening to the music I love, is so great to share. Basically, I’m a freak for honest, real, often obscure music, and I would love to share something with/receive something from you.
