Need Some New Jams


Hey, so I’m looking to expand my musical horizons a bit. I have a few playlists that I created on iTunes and I definitely want to add to a few of them and stretch outside the box. First, you should know that I have a very eclectic taste in music. For the right mood, I will play the same collection over and over again, even if it’s not my usual fare. I love movie and television show soundtracks because I can get a really good, eclectic mix of songs that are usually variations on a theme. For example, The Power of One soundtrack is a gorgeous selection of typically a capella music with drums. On the other hand, the Queen of the Damned soundtrack allows me to lurk in the dark and think of vampires. Heh, heh. I tend to go for quality over popularity, too, though I really love Queen, which means I adore Muse, too. Yes, and Metallica. OF COURSE I LOVE METALLICA. For female artists, my current fav is Adelle.


The playlists I have right now are dubbed: Angst Music, Final Fantasy, High Energy, Industrial Heaven, Moody as Hell, Movie Soundtracks, New Agey De-Stress, She-Ra POWAH, and Whiny Uk-ish Boy Bands. My salsa collection is sorely lacking and my blues and jazz? Non-existent. (Also, not a fan of auto-tuning and I have enough dance music for the moment, anyway.) I am, however, getting back into punk and what I call punk-lite.


So recommend me your wildest musicians, your best albums, and your favorite artists. My playlist will thank you later. May even have to add a new one or two…


Mood: This [] close to buying a mike and a keyboard.

Caffeinated Beverages Consumed: Just shoot it up my veins, man.

Work-Out Minutes Logged Yesterday: Walkin’ and walkin’.

In My Ears: Um… I don’t want to say. It’s embarrassing.
