day eleven: put your iPod on shuffle: first 10 songs that play
See? I told you I'd get back to it. I didn't do this one the other day because I was at Matt's house and didn't have access to my music. I'm going to start off by admitting I'm not terribly familiar with all of my music, because Matt gave me a whole bunch fairly recently, which I just put on shuffle when I drove down to the Gila without really looking at the titles or anything. So, let's see, first ten songs...
Gator Bay - Monte la Rue, from The End of the Rainbow Album. I don't think I've listened to this one before. It's super chill and laid back.
Jade (Original Mix) - Jens Buchert, from Time Beyond. This one has a cool, trippy outer space-like sound. I like Jens Buchert a lot. He's right on par with Charles Afton.
Audiobox (Original) - Jens Buchert, from Trilobyte EP. Hey, another one by Jens Buchert! Apparently I have a lot of his music. But anyway... I like that the album is called Trilobyte, nice play on words there.
Bee (Sunflower Mix) - Lemongrass, from Fleur Solaire. This one is nice and peppy and has a girl singing about honey.
In The Mirror (Original Mix) - Jens Buchert, from Cafe Solaire. Wow, another Jens Buchert. Who would have guessed? My iTunes likes him today, apparently. It's kinda dub-steppy, I think. Or is it drum & bass?
Drink More Tea (Herbal Mix) - Slack Baba, from Psymeditation 2. Haha, clever title! See, I really don't know any of the names for these songs.
Peaceful Life - Clelia Felix, from Cafe Brazillia: The Cream of Latino Lounge. Fancy!
Kinda Going Crazy - Groove Matter, from Jazzelicious Presents. Oh, I have actually heard this song before several times. I like it. It has a cool jazz feel with a chick saying she's "kinda going crazy" in a sexy voice.
Inbetween Your Choice (Original Mix) - 16B, How to Live For 100 Years. This is one of my favorite types of this kind of music. Because it starts out with a simple pattern and then keeps layering in more and more parts to add to the whole.
Bossa Del Nueva (Original Mix) - Jens Buchert, Fruit Machine. Ok, Ok, another Jens Buchert. But this is probably my favorite of his albums. Or at least the one I listen to the most.
Organic Walk - Greg Long, from South Beach: Lincoln Road. I really like this one. It has a nice, sunny feel to it. Like walking on a beach. Good job with matching the title to the music, Greg Long!
I honestly do have other music besides this electronic stuff, but my iTunes just didn't want to play it today. Also, this genre greatly outnumbers the rest because I haven't transferred all my other music onto this computer yet. I know, I've had a year, right!?
I haven't heard any of these songs yet. :S
Can you believe it?
I feel like I have no musical culture. haha
Don't worry. Most people haven't heard of them. I honestly hadn't heard of most of those particular songs until the other day when I wrote them down here. And the crazy thing is that this is just a subgenre and doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. There's a lot more to electronic music than just "techno."
I'm mad that I haven't heard of a single one of these! I pride myself on being an equal-opportunity listener, but noooooo! Sad!
GrRr I hate blogger!!!! It always deletes my comments. I know NONE o these and it makes mew mad because I think I'm "up" on the music you kids play these days!
Your comment wasn't deleted. I just hadn't approved it yet. No worries :)
I don't think this stuff is exactly mainstream, even among the dj's and ravers. At least that is the impression I get.
