Salka Posted July 28, 2006 So that we have some clue what you're talking about, try to find the song/band on Myspace please. I'm listening to Blur - Villa Rosie... because it's nice and upbeat and otherwise I'd kill myself at work. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=91028315 Have a listen, it's most excellent.

ysbreker Posted July 28, 2006 Right now I'm listening to a DJ-set by Hybrid on extrema outdoor 2006 I get my work-time music goodness from here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted July 28, 2006 No MySpace account - mercifully - but I'm working my way, again, through the generally-superb offerings from ProgressiveHouse.com's Progcast; #029 (Matt Vinkalmann's set) being a particular highlight at the moment. I DJ in my spare time, and Progressive is mostly what I listen to pretty much any time of the day or night. Hoping to do a series of live sessions from within Second Life too, at some point in the not-too-distant future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryam BaCo Posted July 28, 2006 can't list any myspace-links, because i forgot my earphones at home so i have no sound here at work i'm currently listening to placebo, arctic monkeys, the streets, sportfreunde stiller and some random classical stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted July 28, 2006 You don't need a myspace account Sorry, Yuf. I meant no MySpace account for what I'm currently listening to, because it's got a "proper" web site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's so few people I know - outside of one or two Dutch friends - who enjoy progressive house. That's totally awesome. Let me know if you ever upload a mix somewhere. Are you also subscribed to the Frisky Radio podcast? It's recently been brought back from the dead.In fact the only other person I know who likes this music is American McGee (who allowed me to leech some great mixes off his server ). Prog house (as well as techno/electro, minimal techno, etc.) are my first love, though I have an eclectic taste in music... jazz, hiphop, triphop, d&b, alt rock, j-pop, country (well, just Johnny Cash really) and so on.

I have just the biggest, stupidest grin on my face right now... Let me know if you ever upload a mix somewhere. Roger-dodge. I've got three in the offing right now actually, but haven't done the production work on any of them yet. Are you also subscribed to the Frisky Radio podcast? It's recently been brought back from the dead. Yes, which is great to see. Really thought that was a goner in all honesty... In fact the only other person I know who likes this music is American McGee (who allowed me to leech some great mixes off his server ). Props - anything noteworthy?

Oath Posted July 28, 2006 Like always, I'm mixing things up without not really breaking any new ground, with a bit of hardcore and then some up-beat rock. Pretty much anything by Sick Of It All and Ted Leo & The Pharmacists is a good combo. Throw some Samiam and Blood for Blood in there and it's a decent soundtrack to the summer.

Nappi Posted July 28, 2006 Right now I'm mostly listening to Queens of the Stone Age and [wiki]Desert Sessions[/wiki]. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and The National always work for me too. Edit: Damn. Last.fm previews only work if you are registered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lechimp Posted July 29, 2006 Recently I bought the special editions of the albums Violator and Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode so I've been listening to them a lot. I've also been listening to Fantomas and Nine Inch Nails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted July 29, 2006 I'm not much of a music-man, but I like it classical. Currently there's not a day that I don't listen to Holst's The Planets. I'm listening to it and thinking: by gum, that John Williams is a fraud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted July 29, 2006 Today I got to see Bedouin Soundclash as well as Ari Up Vs. Dubblestandart. (yeah, they're different artists, but they were playing a set of duets. Kicked ass.) Tomorrow, I'll be wandering around Prince's Island Park and listening to the sessions that they have set up. 3 or 4 groups to a stage, all jamming together from 10:30 til 5:30. Kick ass weekend ahead. This festival is really the only reason anyone should bother visiting Calgary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carlius Posted July 31, 2006 Marek, Did you go to the sensation white or black party this year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted July 31, 2006 Heh nope, I'm not at all attracted to that event. Did you go there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted July 31, 2006 Well, Calgary's Folk Festival is over, and I was absolutely blown away by a dude from Australia called That One Guy. (<--- myspace link) Incredible to watch him preform. His homemade instrument is incredible. If you ever get a chance to see him play, do it. If you go to that1guy.com, (<--- official website) you can see a couple of vids of his preformances. Completely mesmerizing to see it. Got his CD after the show ended. Quite good. Not as good as seeing him, but a very good listen nonetheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted July 31, 2006 The song "One" sounded awesome. I can imagine that his live shows are pretty energetic. Too bad I probably don't get a change to see him perform. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carlius Posted July 31, 2006 Heh nope, I'm not at all attracted to that event. Did you go there? No, but I was thinking of going there, the photos that I've seen from it are quite impressive. Why are you not compelled to go? I thought it was more or less a Mecca for people that like electronic music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted July 31, 2006 Ah I see. well, the target audience for Sensation (particularly the white edition) leans more towards people who don't go to such things very often. A large number of people who go there belong more to the bar crowd or get their electronic music from TMF and MTV. The music is relatively commercial, and there's more emphasis on the dancers and the spectacle than the DJs. It's kind of the Mickey Mouse event of electronic music. Dance Valley or Awakenings are much more deserving of the "mecca" label. You might still like it but it depends on what type of music you enjoy. I've been mostly avoiding large events though. They're usually expensive and erm not that good. The best place to enjoy electronic music is in a cool intimate club with a few hundred people instead of thousands upon thousands.

ysbreker Posted July 31, 2006 Exactly, something like 5 days off (or it's bigger brother 10 days off) are much more fun to go to. More bang for your buck so to speak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
