my taste in music; juvenile delinquency
Aug. 16th, 2005 04:54 pmI like music of all kinds, as long as it has a melody. (see here for descriptions of my main musical aesthetics)
I specifically do not like electronic dance music (house, drum&bass, etc), hiphop, or anything with a loud repetitive bass (particularly because bass sounds don't get blocked by my windows).
Why is it that clubs only tend to play the latter? Whatever happened to the folk song? Can we blame the 80s?
Anyway, once in a while my neighbours have a street party, which is meant as a party for kids. But all they play is this shit electronic music.
They say a good way to prevent juveline delinquency is to leave draaiorgels around playing. It works like insect repellant. I, OTOH, *love* draaiorgels (especially when they play ragtime tunes), and would love to have one to jam with, especially if I could give it a little computer-intelligence (making it a sort of intelligent accompanist).
