mooseek n other stuffs

i consider myself a guy with a pretty eclectic taste for music...
my brother loves classical, i think a bit of that rubbed off on me... that's why almost any piece with at least SOME strings or a cool brass part tugs at me... but the best music has to be music with a rich and FILLING(for lack of a better word)...

on the other hand, i listen to a lot of pop.. yeah, the sort you listen to on the radio and everywhere... and there are some songs that are not bad... so yeah, pop kinda appeals to me too... although not in the boyband kinda way (although when bekstritboiz comes on the radio and it's something i like i might find myself humming along)

and lately the music scene worldwide features alot of heavy.. rappish, R&B, hip-hop stuff... hmm... of all genres, this appeals least to me... but still... there are a few songs in this category that... umm... are worth listening to...

oh yeah, i play music in church to... and i think Sister Act rox(i learnt the word eclectic from there)... so gospel, CCM and even hymns appeal to me... but yet, not all... cos' like any other genre... there are... umm... not so good music christian music lah... i mean... all music sung for God glorifies him... but... after the 10th planet shakers and hillsongs piece... umm... i think you know wat i mean...

hmm... let's see... basically i'm the kind of person with no "band" loyalty or anything like that... so i tend to listen to anything and everything... did i mention i love japanese anime music too... some remixes are cool.. i also think that 105.7 is a better radio station than 92.9... i may not agree with the lyrics but eminem has rapped some that is good to hear... OSTs from movies i've watched and liked definitely appeal to me (esp disney :P, i think this is also part of the classical thing from my bro - liking music that is just instrumental and without words)... fort minor lately has come out with some good stuff... daniel powter is super overplayed but, heard once in a while, can be good... oh yeah, Alanis Morisette, Goo goo Dolls, The Cranberries, MLTR, Eric Clapton, James Brown, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Green Day, Nat King Cole, Victor Wooten, L'Arc~en~Ciel, Stevie Wonder, Mary J. Blige, Jewel, Karyn White, Micheal Buble... you see... the problem is that i like a LOT of music... but have no favourites... thus i tire very quickly of listening to the same band/artist...

it's precisely because of this that i don't buy much albums... cos.. yeah, it get's boring... compilations work better.. slightly.. cos' compilations tend to be with the same type of music...
so basically.. i like singles, but not artists... hope you get the idea...

heh, my problem is that i recently aquired a whole load of music... or am going to acquire soon, a whole load of music from a hermit (bit by bit).. well, heh... hopefully i can separate the good from the BEST.. cos' i really don't like to listen to... good music... i only like GREAT stuff... hahah, it's a good problem though :P

oh... i found a cool artist's site Gabeart... i liked drawing dragonball when i was a kid... even now when my mind super wanders i still like to draw a bit... i kinda enjoying getting lost in my own brain..

oh yeah, i'm kinda on raya hols now... that's why i have time to blog abt music n stuff... heh, nice break from medicine =)
