pmwww | | Music, yo! (19th Dec 07 at 11:02pm UTC) | | Music is ruddy everywhere. But what do you listen to? Are you against or for downloading of music? And the most important question - do you have a last.fm? | |

pmwww | | Re: Music, yo! (20th Dec 07 at 12:55am UTC) | | Alternative rock.
I'm for downloading music if a band has already made millions [and if the artist doesn't donate a decent amount to charity], but am against it for newly emerging bands who don't make a lot of money yet.
And no, I don't have a last.fm | |

pmmsnicq | | Re: Music, yo! (26th Dec 07 at 4:52pm UTC) | | Alternative/Indie Rock. They seem to be the same genre, but I'm not sure, so I'll say both.
I'm with Cr0w on downloading music.
Rawr!? - I've had it for ages, but only figured out that you had to download something for it to work about six weeks ago. As you can tell from that, I listen to a lot of music. | |

There's some good bands there - Death Cab in particular! Shame about James Blunt and 50 Cent
As for me, it's mainly indie/alternative but there's some heavier stuff thrown in plus some jazz. I write for The National Student (a UK student magazine/website) for the music side, which means i get lots of opportunities to meet and interview lots of artists I've got 3 gigs lined up already for next year: Les Savy Fav, Eels and Foo Fighters. There's more to come and i want to fit in at least one festival too.
As for downloading - i'm of the ilk that will download one or two songs of a band to see if i'll like it, then i'll buy the album. There's nothing better than buying a new album, reading the booklet etc. The other time i'll download is if there's no opportunity to buy it, or it's far too espensive (imports etc).
My last.fm is in my sig currently, so feel free to check it out. There's a fair bit of music there, but not as much as there should be as i did change accounts a while back. | |

pmwww | | Re: Music, yo! (30th Dec 07 at 9:00pm UTC) | | So, to keep this thread going a bit Has anyone got any good gigs lined up? Have you ever been to any, or want to go to any?
My list for 2008 is as follows:
10th Feb: Les Savy Fav, London Astoria March 2nd: Eels, Brighton Centre June 7th: Foo's, Wembley Stadium.
I want to get at least one festival in there too, and there will be more gigs added soon as i'm speaking to a few friends in certain circles | |

Just checking out The Raynes, and they sound really good! Very much of the same ilk as Lifehouse, Goo Goo Dolls, The Fray et al
Classic Rock, Alternative Rock, Piano Rock, Metal.
Care to throw some examples of bands out there? | |

Thanks, but no thanks. If I ever get a record deal, it will be from Stonecliff Records [owned by The Raynes].
As for instruments, I play acoustic & electric guitar, as well as sing lead. However, I can also play drums, bass, and keyboard. ^_^
We haven't recorded any of our songs yet, since our drummer's been out of town lately. When we get some recorded, though, I'll post them. | |

pmmsnxfire | | Re: Music, yo! (31st Dec 07 at 1:46am UTC) | | I listen to mostly all types of rock. Metal, Death Metal, Heavy Metal, black metal, soft rock, hardcore, grunge, I listen to it all.
I'm helping to promote 2 bands at the moment. (Both on myspace, yet one, which is here, had like 75 plays when I first found them) I play the guitar (acoustic and electric), drums, and I can sing a little. | |
