What music are you listening to?

Just to chat....

What are your current favorite tunes to listen to now? Currently, I like to listen to a mix of Renaissance and Baroque songs for the Latin Mass to calm me down at night so that I can sleep.

And then in the daytime, I will listen to Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and other similiar country musicians. A friend challenged me not to be so closed minded about country. So I am listening to it over and over until I build up a tolerance for it

Sometimes though...I just can't do it any longer and will turn on Third Day or Christian Radio.

I've been listening to a lot of chant from Taize. Then also some Celtic Hymns from a CD I have. Both are really calming.

As far as secular music is concerned, I'm usually listening to whatever is being played on the local radio station. Do we have any other Lady Gaga fans here in the Parish?

I'm not a real fan of country either, Maid Marie. I can tolerate it to an extent, especially some of the newer stuff. Although, I do like Bluegrass.

It changes extremely frequently. Partially due to the way I manage data on my computer, though it would happen anyway. The most I can say is that chances are it's some form of rock or metal (although not by any means exclusively those, and there's a wide variety of subgenres I listen to). Also, generally there's almost always a good showing of whatever iTunes and Amazon have been putting into their freebies section, and like I just said, that changes frequently too - because iTunes changes said offerings weekly (Amazon tends to keep tracks free for longer, sometimes for years, but they feature them in daily intervals; it used to be weekly, but that's not been true for a while).

RE: country, I find very little of the pop-country stuff to be tolerable, comparatively speaking, and I've been exposed to it since the 90s thanks to my parents listening to it a lot. I usually don't mind alt-country or some isolated folk tracks, though.

I have been listening to more INXS, Collective Soul, and Depeche Mode tracks over the past week. Really just because I snagged a few CDs from Borders' going out of business sale. 50% off is nice.

As to what I'm listening to;

Last night on Itunes I bought Iron Butterfly - In-a-gadda-da-vida, Kiss - I was made for lovin' you, Toto - Africa, Tchaikovsky - Waltz of the Flowers (The Nutcracker)

Not sure what that says about me
80s Rock and Romantic Orchestral music

My music goes through phases varying pretty much anything from the mediaeval period to now, with the exceptions of Rap/Hip-Hop and Lady Gaga

Taize to Lady Gaga...hmmm.....

The newer stuff is what my friend suggested I try. It is more tolerable to me than the 'tear in my beer' kind of songs. Bluegrass is good, too. Although, to me bluegrass is more a study of culture than music to relax to.

Me, too. Saddens me to hear that Borders is going out of business. Being a reader, it saddens me whenever I hear of a bookstore closing.

Having lived through the 80s, I always kind of wonder about anyone's continued fascination with 80s music

We're going to see Chicago with the Tacoma Symphony next week, so I've been listening to them quite a bit. I also listen to a program called "The Organ Loft" on the local Classical music station on Sunday nights--they play a lot of organ music (obviously) but also a lot of sacred choral music. Other than that, I've been listening to the Oldies/Classic Rock stations for some Chicago music, so I'm hearing a lot of their contemporaries.

Chicago is one of the few classic rock groups that I can listen to.

A radio station used to play sacred choral which I really liked. But haven't heard them play it lately

Well, I'm sorry that I've lost you're respect, Mr. Dave.

I'm in total agreement with you about Rap/Hip-Hop though.

My family while in the States listened to Contemporary Christian music exclusively.

Here in Europe, we listen to klassic on radio and our Contemporary Christian CDs. At least those that were not damaged in the move. Some are scratched and I need to repair or replace them. We like the WOW series.

Be blessed,
