What do you listen to?
when doing different things. Different activities require different music, for me at least.
Driving-depends on the time/type of day. anything from House music to Sia. Studying-Sufjan Stevens, Alex Cortez, etc. Excercising-Relentless DnB. Relaxing-Aus/N.Z dubby type shiz. Etc.-All of the above. So what is it for you? I am looking for ome more mellow stuff for the library but thought this post would be fun to put up.

theres only a couple instances where certain types of music will only work for me.
when I'm feelin blue - classic rock, blues, dark drum and bass afterwork - something i can rock my head to and let all my worries drift away. usually hip hop and edm. other than that i always switch it up depending on whats interestin at the moment

for relaxing and mello'ing out I often listen to ambient/dark ambient/idm & experimental stuff that I have made and other artists in vancouver has made.... Some of the ambient stuff that comes out of the artists in vancouver is just amazing stuff.... unfortunantly these artists and there materials get overlooked.

well right now.. when I'm trying to stay awake until I have to work because my only alarm clock is my roommate's cell phone which he has right now haha.. drum n bass!
When I'm chilling.. dubstep, blues, reggae, folk.. when I'm partying.. classic rock, dnb.. sometimes hardstyle or techno. when I'm in the right crowd (ie. the moshing variety) heavy metal, power metal, death metal, speed/thrash metal... and if I'm feeling particularily odd.. Norwegian Black Metal sometimes does the trick! Thrashy punk and killer grunge too! other then that.. I listen to anything and everything that pleases me as I feel fit.

lately:
TOOL,reaaaaly into right now. i love them, have every disc of theirs and 10,000 days gets played once everyday. i love that album, i havent been this excited about a new realese record since radiohead's OK computer came out. Stevie Wonder, i cant get enough. i cant beleive what a phenom this guy is, everynote is spot on, his playing and rythem is air tight and his melodies and syllabance is so complex.....hes like a vocal charlie parker. Pro tools did not exist on wonders records my friends.im amazed hes not referenced by more people of our generation. City and color, really nice accoustic emoish type stuff. think dashboard confessional but less whine and the guitars arnt as bright.stand out single would be "save your sissors" ....a nice,airy song. good after tool or pantera lol. The Gotan Project, really interesting electronic tango hybrid thats the shit in argentina right now. really cool south african guy switched me on to them when i was down south this past summer..... and for the past 11 years not a day gose by that i dont listen to at least 1 beatles song...

...*rubs hands together*.. ahem. You can never do wrong with Artie Shaw..the classics like Glen Miller, Les Brown and his orchestra..Benny Goodman, Count Basie etc. Art Tatum (pianist)..incredible he also heavily influenced Oscar Peterson, and he's a legend in himself.. Now..I LOVE..Fred Astaire..and even though he's not often classified as swing specifically, he's still from that era..and always worth mentioning. Normally Im not really into newer bands attempting the whole old time ragtime/swing sound but There are a few bands that do a pretty good job..in the modern way...like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and The Cherry Poppin Daddies. If you want a bigger list, just send me a PM...and id be happy to do so... I listen to anything from Josquin to Judas Preist.. I can't really say that I listen to a specific genre while I do something, it's more in the feeling of the moment.. And the company.. I mean sometimes some of the most aggressive stuff, can just calm me right down. It all depends on my mood..

I listen to anything that keeps me in a pumped/positive mind frame. Lately that's included: The Doors, Fat Boy Slim, Rob Zombie, Danko Jones, Super Tramp, Trooper, The Alman Brothers, Audio Slave, Rage Against the Machine, Stevie Wonder, some Judas Priest, 80's hair metal, older bb king and pretty much any and every cheesy 80's anthem I can get my hands on.
