<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>1- How old are you?

-- 19.

2- Do you mainly listen to one (or more) particular style(s) of music? If so, which one(s)?

-- My genres of choice are, in order, classical, film and game soundtracks, techno, and rap.

3- Do you consider yourself one of those people who likes "all different kinds of music"?

-- Not really. I can tolerate most kinds, but "tolerate" and "enjoy" are two distinct concepts.

4- Which bands/artists/djs do you consider your favorite as of right now?

Classical: Dmitri Shostakovich (my personal favorite), Giya Kancheli, Alfred Schnittke, Astor Piazolla, Jean Sibelius.
Film/Game Soundtrack: Danny Elfman, Elliot Goldenthal, John Williams, Yoko Kanno (primarily for Cowboy Bebop), George Oldziey, Hans Zimmer, Osamu Tezuka and Nobuo Uematsu.
Techno: Hybrid, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method
Rap: No particular favorites, just anything with funny, clever lyrics.

5- Do you listen to pretty much the same music you listened to 3 years ago?

-- No.

6- Do you listen to pretty much whatevers on top of the pop charts at a given time?

-- No.

7- Do you consider your musical taste to be primarily "underground" music?

-- Jesus, no.

8- How many CDs have you bought in the last 3 months? What CDs were they?

1) Henryk Gorecki, Symphony No. 3

5) Messiaen, Quartet for the End of Time
6) Sergey Zhukov, Concerto Mystery & Concerto Grosso

9- How often do you use music swapping applications to get your music? Or do you use them at all?

-- I generally don't use them, largely because of my slow dial-up connection and the fact that I buy most CDs used.

10- Have you been to a concert this past year? If so, how many and who did you go to see?

-- Two. One was the Kremlin Chamber Orchestra, which I saw for free at my college. The second was some country singer (Dwight somebody). I was dragged to that one.

11- Do new bands interest you at all?

-- Sure.

12- What is/are the style(s) of music you can't stand?

-- Nu metal (Limp Bizkit, Fear Factory, or anything with angry boys raging against whatever they can think of). Anything where the singers croon out sentimental lyrics about the minutiae of existence--lost loves, lost pets, themselves.

13- Do your friends listen to pretty much the same style of music as you?

-- I know a fair number of people who listen to techno, film and game soundtracks. Classical's definitely a niche genre, so few of my peers are active listeners, but I know one or two.</div>

<div style='font: bold 10pt arial; text-align: left; '>

1- How old are you?

almost 24!

2- Do you mainly listen to one (or more) particular style(s) of music? If so, which one(s)?

many...industrial, some techno, hard rock, strong female vocalists

3- Do you consider yourself one of those people who likes "all different kinds of music"?

somewhat, I can listen to most music, minus a few genres

4- Which bands/artists/djs do you consider your favorite as of right now?

Bjork, Ani Difranco, Hooverphonic, Aphrodite, Front 242, Skinny Puppy, Silverman, uhm, a ton more

5- Do you listen to pretty much the same music you listened to 3 years ago?

heck no lol.. 3 years ago I was still trying to find my style of music...I would ave a different genre every week...goth, death metal, 80's, top 40...etc

6- Do you listen to pretty much whatevers on top of the pop charts at a given time?

no.

7- Do you consider your musical taste to be primarily "underground" music?

not really

8- How many CDs have you bought in the last 3 months? What CDs were they?

too many....probably close to 60 (Ear X-tacy had a sidewalk sale!)

9- How often do you use music swapping applications to get your music? Or do you use them at all?

I use them, I have 10G on my hd now of mp3s...but if I really like an artist I will buy their cds

10- Have you been to a concert this past year? If so, how many and who did you go to see?

yes! Ani Difranco :)

11- Do new bands interest you at all?

sure if theyre decent, why not

12- What is/are the style(s) of music you can't stand?

gangsta rap, I can stand listening to some R&B, but I dont voluntairily choose it, Growling death metal...why do they have to ruin such good hard music with growling? ugh

13- Do your friends listen to pretty much the same style of music as you?

some do, some have no idea who the hell Bjork or Ani Difranco is...its all about Brittney Spears...*gag*</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>1- How old are you?

19

2- Do you mainly listen to one (or more) particular style(s) of music? If so, which one(s)?

Criminey, I listen to such a wide variety of music that I find it difficult to list my genres. Most people that listen to the playlists I make wonder what the hell I'm doing, they're so off-the-wall. All forms of rock (from classic to hard to metal), techno (trance, house, etc.), instrumental (film and game soundtracks, classical), rap (are there even subgenres to rap?), and so on and so forth.

3- Do you consider yourself one of those people who likes "all different kinds of music"?

Honestly, yes. The only genre of music that I've yet to find a single solitary song I enjoy is country. I keep waiting for the day when I come across just one song that will capture my attention in there, though.

4- Which bands/artists/djs do you consider your favorite as of right now?

At this moment I find myself listening to a lot of Linkin Park, Garbage, Jamiroquai, Elliott Smith, Jay Z, Simon and Garfunkel, Daft Punk, ATB, Rush, Yoko Kanno, and whoever the hell did the music for Gundam Wing, because I can't stop playing tracks from <i>Endless Waltz</i>, despite how much I hated watching it. I've been cycling through all these names for the past couple of weeks.

5- Do you listen to pretty much the same music you listened to 3 years ago?

Oh, hell no. Three years ago I wasn't listening to nearly this much techno, and I detested rap.

6- Do you listen to pretty much whatevers on top of the pop charts at a given time?

Not really. A lot of the time I wonder how some of those songs even get up there.

7- Do you consider your musical taste to be primarily "underground" music?

Primarily, no. That's not to say that I don't occasionally go to mp3.com and hunt around for new "garage bands" that have those fateful one-hit wonders. But I put an emphasis on the word "occasionally."

8- How many CDs have you bought in the last 3 months? What CDs were they?

I honestly can't remember the last time I bought a CD. It's been well over a year, I'm pretty sure. Maybe more than that.

9- How often do you use music swapping applications to get your music? Or do you use them at all?

I found ways to get what I wanted in the music scene <i>before</i> the days of Napster and all its subsequent clones. When the MiniDisc became the new hot item, I had to be one of the first kids on my block to have it, and I've been using it ever since.

10- Have you been to a concert this past year? If so, how many and who did you go to see?

Not a one. I can't remember the last time I went to a concert. It seems like the only ones we ever have in this neck of the woods are big country stars which I've never heard of.

11- Do new bands interest you at all?

Sure, I love seeing new groups pop out of the woodwork, and I'm usually willing to give most of them a shot.

12- What is/are the style(s) of music you can't stand?

Country is the one single genre of music that I've never been able to listen to, and believe me, I've tried. My ex-girlfriend was a "Jack of All Trades" music lover like myself, but didn't listen to classical music, opting instead to replace it with country. We eventually had to enter into an agreement in which I wouldn't play my Holst or Kanno around her in exchange for her never again playing Garth Brooks around me.

13- Do your friends listen to pretty much the same style of music as you?

Since I listen to so many different kinds of music, yes, almost all my friends listen to at least <i>some</i> of the same styles that I do.

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>

1- How old are you?

23, as of two days ago.

2- Do you mainly listen to one (or more) particular style(s) of music? If so, which one(s)?

Electronica. Used to listen to British progressive rock for the longest time (basically my parents' taste in music), but I discovered electronica and found a new groove.

3- Do you consider yourself one of those people who likes "all different kinds of music"?

Heh, who doesn't? I consider that to be one of those "job interview type" answers to first date questions, in regard to relationships. But, here lately I've found viable groups in almost all forms of music except country and "R&B".

4- Which bands/artists/djs do you consider your favorite as of right now?

Hybrid, BT, Chem Bros, Crys Meth, Aphex Twin, Curve, Garbage, Orbital, Orzic Tentacles, Paul Oakenfold, Sandra Collins, Sasha...I have too many.

5- Do you listen to pretty much the same music you listened to 3 years ago?

Not really. I slowly learn to appreciate the finer points of certain genres when I become exposed to the more progressive artists of their field. For example, I didn't start to get into rap until I listen to the white rappers have their chance and when rap-metal started to get popular. I really didn't like trance that much until I heard some better artists turn it into a canvas for creativity. Overall, it actually took me a while to get into most of the sub-genres of electronica (and they keep inventing new ones).

6- Do you listen to pretty much whatevers on top of the pop charts at a given time?

Hell no. Top 40 stations make me sick. Hard rock stations are only mildly amusing, as most of the bands are pretty bland. I could listen (and enjoy) to most electronica casually, if I wanted to, but that's only because I've heard the same guitar/drum/bass/vocal pattern for the past 15 years, and electronica hasn't bored me yet.

7- Do you consider your musical taste to be primarily "underground" music?

Yeah. It's getting more popular, but the top 40 hits still put up these fucking stupid bad house tunes (boom-chee-boom-chee-boom-chee) with Aqua-like lyrics. I'm hopeful when groups like Crystal Method and The Wiseguys actually gets some MTV airplay.

8- How many CDs have you bought in the last 3 months? What CDs were they?

I just went to a sidewalk sale and we bought a shitload (too many) CDs for 12 cents to 3 bucks each. I haven't gone through them all yet. Including that, I've bought CDs from VAST, BT, Hybrid, Tin Star, Haujobb, Bionic Jive, Better Daze, Seven Channels, Pluto Rising, Sunna, Crystal Method, Q-Burns Abstract Message, as well as a bunch of DJ mix CDs. Of course, my wishlist is still large (most of this stuff wasn't even on there).

9- How often do you use music swapping applications to get your music? Or do you use them at all?

Fairly often, though I believe in at least getting a physical copy of the album (with the covers and all), unless I don't like it. I've ripped the newest Garbage and Orbital albums but not bought them just because they suck (but come from artists that I really like).

10- Have you been to a concert this past year? If so, how many and who did you go to see?

Yeah, Shellie just dragged me into an Ani DiFranco concert a week ago. Not bad, but I missed my chance to go to a ICP concert with a friend of mine. It would be nice when concerts didn't cost $30-90 per ticket.

11- Do new bands interest you at all?

Always. I'm always on a quest for new music. Nothing is more exciting than finding a new band that you like with a new album that you've heard for the first time, fresh with ideas that you haven't heard of and notes you haven't felt before.

12- What is/are the style(s) of music you can't stand?

Anything simplistic, like country or bluegrass. R&B grates my nerves, too. Basically anything that puts lyrics before music. Music is music, not poetry with a few notes on top of it. You can't get away with a song that contains some singing and a few notes on the piano (Tori Amos...), or strums on the guitar (any folk singer), or beats on the drum machine (most rap/R&B singers).

13- Do your friends listen to pretty much the same style of music as you?

Yes and no. Same genres, but we clash with the details. Same with Shellie, but it can clash even more (especially when she like 80's music and other oddities).</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '><I>1- How old are you?</i>

20 in December

<i>2- Do you mainly listen to one (or more) particular style(s) of music? If so, which one(s)?</I>

I don't really listen to any specific genres. I like music that appeals to me more on its own merit.

<i>3- Do you consider yourself one of those people who likes "all different kinds of music"?</i>

Again, no. My musical tastes are rather varied, but I don't listen to specific styles.

<i>4- Which bands/artists/djs do you consider your favorite as of right now? </i>

Radiohead, They Might Be Giants, Weezer, Aphex Twin (though I don't like Drukqs too much from what I've heard)

<i>5- Do you listen to pretty much the same music you listened to 3 years ago?</i>

3 years ago? Yes. 5 years ago? God no.

<i>6- Do you listen to pretty much whatevers on top of the pop charts at a given time?</i>

No.

<i>7- Do you consider your musical taste to be primarily "underground" music?</i>

I prefer less well-known and less-popular artists, but not necessarily underground. Though I don't really like stuff that's radio-friendly in any sense.

<i>8- How many CDs have you bought in the last 3 months? What CDs were they?</i>

Radiohead - Amnesiac. Weezer - Green Album. And I recently downloaded a bunch of tracks from Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works.

<i>9- How often do you use music swapping applications to get your music? Or do you use them at all?</i>

If I think of a song that I like, I download it. If it's a band that I like I'll buy their CD, but if I just like 1 or 2 songs I'm not going to. That's what music sharing programs are for and that's how most people use them. The RIAA is just a bunch of money-hungry morons in my opinion.

<i>10- Have you been to a concert this past year? If so, how many and who did you go to see?</i>

They Might Be Giants last semester. I was gonna see Radiohead in August but the goddamn tickets were almost 40 bucks and that's bullshit.

<i>11- Do new bands interest you at all?</i>

I'm not sure if I understand the question...You mean new bands in general or bands today that have recently sprung up? As for new bands in general, if they're good and original then yes they'll interest me. As for current bands, they're mostly utter garbage. They're either hardcore trying to be pop, or ridiculous gibberish-metal bands that care more about their makeup than their music.

<i>12- What is/are the style(s) of music you can't stand?</i>

R&B, most rap, most pop (the stuff that all sounds the same), bands that try to be humorous but are just morons (ie Bloodhound Gang)

<i>13- Do your friends listen to pretty much the same style of music as you?</i>

Most of my friends are punks and I don't like punk. Baldarov likes TMBG as much as I do, but he's an idiot otherwise :)</div>

There's a little more rap now, but not much.

6- Do you listen to pretty much whatevers on top of the pop charts at a given time?

Yes, but that doesn't mean I like it all. Some of the stuff I enjoy, but for the "pop" charts, that some would be very few.

7- Do you consider your musical taste to be primarily "underground" music?

No, and I hate people who scorn anything and everything on the radio, or anything remotely popular. If you can't enjoy music just because other people do, you're retarded. You peopl know who you are.

8- How many CDs have you bought in the last 3 months? What CDs were they?

None. No music CDs, anyway. I've bought less than ten music CDs in my life. Usually just burn 'em, or listen to mp3's/radio.

9- How often do you use music swapping applications to get your music? Or do you use them at all?

Often.

10- Have you been to a concert this past year? If so, how many and who did you go to see?

I was at Snowjam in Halifax. Treble Charger played (but weren't great), but I was so fucked up I don't remember much else.

11- Do new bands interest you at all?

Sure.

12- What is/are the style(s) of music you can't stand?

Repetitive dance/rave music. Same 2-10 beats repeated for 30 minutes. Craaaaaaaap. That, along with country and shitty pop (Britney, N'Sync, that kinda shit).

13- Do your friends listen to pretty much the same style of music as you?

Not really. My tastes seem to be a lot broader than most of my chums. They generally stick to one or two genres each.</div>

I listen to anything I like. Tea Party is good, I like the classical/Rock sound to it. Rap is probably the type I listen to the most. I also like electronic influenced alternative, and grunge (Green River, Soundarden, old Nirvana).

1- How old are you?

21

2- Do you mainly listen to one (or more) particular style(s) of music? If so, which one(s)?

mainly rock and metal

3- Do you consider yourself one of those people who likes "all different kinds of music"?

No. I've given other stuff a chance...just doesn't appeal to me.

4- Which bands/artists/djs do you consider your favorite as of right now?

My favorite band is Tool. I've been a big fan for as long as I can remember, since Undertow came out, and back when Headbanger's Ball was on MTV. Alice in Chains is also an old favorite of mine...no longer a band though. Pink Floyd is also high on my list.

5- Do you listen to pretty much the same music you listened to 3 years ago?

Yeah. I was a little more into the lighter alternative stuff, but it's not too big a jump from where I'm at now.

6- Do you listen to pretty much whatevers on top of the pop charts at a given time?

Not really. I've never been a big pop fan.

7- Do you consider your musical taste to be primarily "underground" music?

nope. Most of the stuff I listen to does get some radioplay.

8- How many CDs have you bought in the last 3 months? What CDs were they?

Hmm...maybe 3 or 4. Bought the Tool CD, Staind's new one, System's Toxicity, and Ultraspank's Progress. I've been listening to Progress pretty much non-stop for the last month. Good shiat.

9- How often do you use music swapping applications to get your music? Or do you use them at all?

Very often. I'm all over morpheus.

10- Have you been to a concert this past year? If so, how many and who did you go to see?

I saw They Might Be Giants a little while ago, that was fun. I'm seeing Tool on the 30th and Ozzy and Rob Zombie on Halloween.

11- Do new bands interest you at all?

Sure I guess.

12- What is/are the style(s) of music you can't stand?

I'm not too tolerant of country or bubblegum pop.

13- Do your friends listen to pretty much the same style of music as you?

Most of my old friends do. I'm guessing that's because growing up together we sorta shaped each other into it. Only a few of my friends in college like the same music I do...everyone else seems to like Dave, and no one else.</div>

1- How old are you?

22

2- Do you mainly listen to one (or more) particular style(s) of music? If so, which one(s)?

Lately I've been listening to techno mostly, but I also listen to soundtracks (anime/VG/film), pop, and alternative (I know it's very general, but I'm too lazy to get more specific).

3- Do you consider yourself one of those people who likes "all different kinds of music"?

Yeah, all but 2.

4- Which bands/artists/djs do you consider your favorite as of right now?

Too many to list.

5- Do you listen to pretty much the same music you listened to 3 years ago?

6- Do you listen to pretty much whatevers on top of the pop charts at a given time?

Not all the time.

7- Do you consider your musical taste to be primarily "underground" music?

Not really.

8- How many CDs have you bought in the last 3 months? What CDs were they?

None.

9- How often do you use music swapping applications to get your music? Or do you use them at all?

All the time. It so beats having it on a CD (not necessarily the price thing, just being able to get it instantly).

10- Have you been to a concert this past year? If so, how many and who did you go to see?

Concerts? In Alaska? Give me a break. Actually we did have Mystikal peforming here but I wasn't a big fan of his so I didn't go.

11- Do new bands interest you at all?

I don't actively seek them out, but if I happen to hear something by them that I like, chance are I'll check them out more.

12- What is/are the style(s) of music you can't stand?

Country and death metal

13- Do your friends listen to pretty much the same style of music as you?

It's more of an overlap.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>DO you have "My Life in The Bush of Ghosts?" by Brian Eno? If not, you should get it. Easily his best stuff. This next item isn't Brian Eno it's by David Byrne who was in The Talking Heads and worked on Bush of Ghosts with Eno. (Eno produced all Talking Heads stuff) It's called "The Catherine Wheel" (not the band) it's a musical score from a play Bryne did. It's great!

<a href="http://cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID=67 ... h_txt">The Catherine Wheel</a></div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Here is some more from CDnow...

"Byrne produced two solo projects during this time that were experimental in scope. One of them, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, was one of the first hip-hop albums ever produced. Byrne, along with collaborator Brian Eno, was one of the first to sample voices and sounds, such as a real exorcism, a talk radio announcer, and a Lebanese mountain singer. They created a funky avant-garde house party that has since been copied many times over.

The other solo project for Byrne was the complete score from the Broadway production of The Catherine Wheel. This modern dance piece was choreographed and directed by Twyla Tharp and premiered in September of 1981 in New York City for a limited run. I happened to stumble over a taped performance on PBS a couple of years later. The story has something to do with modern technology, paranoia, and a man rubbing Styrofoam over his body. I was really watching it for the background music, which I had already owned and loved.

The Catherine Wheel, in my opinion, was strange, experimental, and original for its time. Twenty years later the world has finally caught up with it. This album is a great companion to current albums recorded by artists like Orbital, Moby, Orb, and Underworld. It could have been an appropriate soundtrack for any David Lynch film.

The album has 23 pieces, six with Byrne vocals including "His Wife Refused," "Poison," and "What a Day that Was." The last title was later reworked and recorded for the live Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense tour and soundtrack.

Another vocal track is "Eggs in a Briar Patch," which is a prayer/confessional accompanied by a clock tick percussion and the lyrics: "Lord, I have been such a bad boy / I've been disobedient / I made mistakes / I made blunders."

The instrumentals are spacey ambient pieces such as "Light Path," "Cloud Clamber," and "The Blue Flame." Some have a Philip Glass minimalism sound. All of the songs have great synthesizer parts and polyrhythm percussion -- sounds that were later explored in future Talking Heads albums, and Byrne's trans-world label, Luaka-Bop.

This is a true conceptual solo album with Byrne writing, producing, and performing the majority of the musical parts. However, there are also some great guest star performances. Yogi Horton, John Chernoff, and Steve Scales do wonderful percussion work. Eno (ex-Roxy Music), Bernie Worrell (Parliament/Funkadelic), and Jerry Harrison (fellow Talking Head, and ex-member of Modern Lovers) provide synth, organ, and piano parts, and Adrian Belew (King Crimson) adds his patented unearthly guitar to a couple of the tracks. It all works great together."</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>That's a lot of information that I had no idea about. I guess I should investigate that album you refered to then, which I shall as soon as I get my pay check from my work from two weeks ago. Have you looked into the compolation album "50,000,000 DJ's can't be wrong"? I want to get that. It's a two disc set.

I just recently started listening to my 'Art of Trance' stuff again and I can't for the life of me find the damn Anthony Paltipus Sunday Remix of 'Kaleidoscope' over here. It's available over in the UK but shipping will be more than the actual cost of the single and I'm spent as it is right now.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm listening to "The Catherine Wheel" right now. Oh and thx by the way, I haven't listened to it in probably a year or two. Anyway, it's great. I mean it's really really good. I actually posted some mp3's from the album before Napster got big. I've been trying to share this album with some people but the thing is it's a little strange for there tastes. But man the song(s) I'm listening to now Track 5 & 6 are so incredible (These are the songs I posted, pasted together as one mp3)... Anyway, I really hope you like it!

I don't know which album you should get first because they are equally excellent.
