Mellow stuff and inspired covers have been turning me on lately. B|

I have been doing research and mentally living in 1944 for about a year now in my spare time. Music I'm specifically interested in is Hoagy Carmichael, but others have a tendency to float through my speakers as well. What's interesting about him to me is he's one of the most covered writer/artists of all time, yet his voice is roughly that of a hound dog barking at the moon and he couldn't read a note (might be a slight exaggeration on that one, but that's the story "they" tell).

Lots of interesting novelty stuff, some profoundly beautify stuff and some (by today's standards) holy shitballs racist stuff.

Here's him playing one of his songs in the movie, To Have and Have Not.

Check it out! Remember when jokes about a "colored man" in China being addicted to opium was funny? Dafuq?

As I mentioned, other stuff is finding its way into the mix and if I was conspiracy minded I would swear some of what the Andrews Sisters was singing were coded messages to spies behind enemy lines because the lyrics just don't make any fuckin' sense.

I swear to god that's an actual lyric.

I'll listen to damn near anything, though I burned out on country when my job involved driving around in the back woods of Alabama and Georgia.

A little Muse
Ghost
Tub Ring
Skrillix I was listening to a lot of Skrillix when I was in AFF, and it still takes me back.
Rammstein
Camper Van Beethoven
A little something off the Beyond Good and Evil Soundtrack
A LOT Of Frank Zappa
Man... Or Astroman?
Timothy Leary
Tom Waits
Jeff Buckley

And a lot more!
I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

I tend to gravitate toward music that makes me feel uplifted and happy...and for me that's been electronic dance music (for the past 10 years or so).

Anything by BT is a perennial favorite of mine, because i think he's brilliant and never fails to push musical and creative boundaries.

something trance-y, his most recent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibGQyM96BeQ
to switch it up, more mood, watch the video all the way, if you aren't crying, you have no heart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuNaL74B5k4
and my favorite, absolute favorite song that i can listen to over and over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbj5i3E6ugo

I love the harder-hitting stuff too, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7plpaPaitl8
and yes, i like dubstep. and Progressive house, and electro. so many to look for clips, but Skrillex, Avicii, Hardwell, Deadmau5, Afrojack, Daft Punk (god, the tron legacy soundrack was the best thing about that movie), even getting into the more hip/hop side of things like Freestylers, Gorillaz, etc.

the funniest part about it is...i hate clubbing. Just love the way the music makes me feel :P

Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

If we learned anything from Swing Kids it is that "icky" is someone who isn't hip. ;)

In all seriousness, there was some damn fine music that came out between about 1938 and 1945, some of my favorite.


For me, I'm stuck on Macklemore (thanks Jon!) for the moment.

Correct. Although I suspect Patty, Maxine and LaVerne came by their hipness via Cab Calloway's Dictionary of Harlem Slang.

HA! Now for your movie trivia, have you ever seen Cab Calloway perform a song in a movie that wasn't Minnie The Moocher?

Can't think of one off the top of my head. He did a few musical shorts (music videos before the term was invented) pre-WWII; Hi De Ho, and Za Zu Zaz come to mind.

Of course Minnie is in The Blues Brothers.
