- Most of my work-related passwords are based on 70s/80s song lyircs, like from Thomas Dolby's "One of our submarines", OMD's "Joan of Arc", J. Geils Band's live riff about "Raputa the Beuta" (not sure what song that actually is, think I've only heard the live recording). So I start every workday singing one or all of those songs.

That's just too cute.

I'm American and I knew exactly what he meant

Don't think I'd pick the smoke over the sex though....I'd find a way to have both, for sure

My music tastes fit cleanly into stereotyped categories. the more something sticks to it's genre and it's conventions and trappings, the more likely I'll like it.

I guess the fact that I can count on one hand how many times I've been baked in my life is why I didn't think in that direction.

I've mixed getting baked with having sex before (once by accident, once on purpose), and as surreal as it was, I much prefer being sober while doing it. The memories of the sex while baked is hazy at best, and I'm one of those people that treasures my life experiences and memories. This is why after trying drugs a few times I decided it just wasn't for me.

A related story--while baked, I actually thought playing a 3D FPS game would be really fun, and I played Prey (a sci-fi game where you could be standing on the ceiling or walls, so your orientations would be totally f**ked up). And yes, I puked my guts out after a short while.

there are songs that haunt me that I have cowritten in parts with friends that I have never actually taken the time to finish recording and complete and did I mention they haunt me? what am I waiting for?

edit: also i pretty much suck at every instrument I own, really need to practice some day.

thirdly, I have a perpetual fear of killing every thread on kvr.

I couldn't let you continue to suffer. I don't mind ending threads.

I listen to unbearably cheesey turn-of-the-century-trance. It fills a musical niche that nothing else does, IMO. It may be melodically simple but the melody that it does have is very effective in the best examples. Same with certain 80's synthy new wave music. It's mostly nostalgic as I wouldn't like most of this music if I were just coming across it.

I think Radiohead is good. Like really good. When it's safe and there are no beard-stroking Eeyores around, I would start to say genius, in a modern folk music kind of way. Muse as well.

I have very unconventional tastes in gear. There are certain freeware VST's that I rate higher than multi-thousand dollar gear. Sometimes I have to keep my mouth shut in studios and at my audio retail job because those types of people seem to willingly try and place an objective hierarchy of gear that everyone has to observe. Personally I think people like that are tools who aren't talented enough to actually mend the sound they want, and are just used to guesswork with nicer gear, plus listening too much to word-of-mouth and reputation. Don't get me wrong: with nice gear the price tag is there for a reason, and I definitely hear and appreciate the difference - when it is there - but there are certain vendors that are just f**king jokes, and it seems that the music production industry is like a hipster music scene where you can't be cool if you don't like/dislike the right bands.

I hate people on the tape op forum and I hate tape op magazine. It's probably partially because my music gets ignored there (but it does here too), but it's mostly because of their supercilious dickwad indie holier than thou attitudes (kind of like music store employees).

When I'm really into music I also hear amazing, detailed 4 part beach boys harmonies in my sleep, but they're impossible to remember even if I woke up and started recording.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Your (music-related) confessions....
