Although I can't often listen to music in work , on the commute to work I'm listening to a minidisk with The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky, Sgt. Peppers lonely hearts, the afx tune off the rephlexions album, and Hey Ya by Andre 3000.

I find that I like that same qualities in The Rite of spring as I do in a lot of afx/aphextwin music (also with squarepusher). That is, that the music keeps changing. For instance tempo, introducing different sounds, unexpected changes in the musical structure etc. It keeps me interested when the view out the train window is so repetitive.
The Beatles album has some of those qualities too. But the main reason its on the disc is because I find I need to listen to vocals/melodic music every now and then.
And hey-ya is on there cause it's just bleedin rappa!

That song is fucking unbelievable - the whole album is pretty much deadly too.

My neighbours' music is coming up through the floor, but nothing on in my house at the moment.

A bit ago, I was in the National Library listening to a white noise CD I got off a friend. It's great, and blocks out all of the stupid noises (who thought of building a library with GOOD acoustics!?) and dulls the people who think it's okay to talk in their outside voices, which, in turn helps me not get all angry: bring your own silence.

But then the bastards had sent the book I needed back to storage, so I put on the first Le Tigre and was on my merry way. It helps me to not get all angry and stuff when I'm trying to rassle my way down Baggot Street during the lunch hour. Thank god for Le Tigre.

I guess this all means I control my potential rage with music. But don't we all?

I can't seem to come to terms with the amazing mastering job that was done on he ya. It has such a big, sparkly sound. deadly.

But im all about that afx tune , though. It's amazing. called afx-mangle (vip bent circuit mix) or something like that.
get it.

this morning i'm listening to the Black Eyes album, which i've been listening to a lot over the last couple of weeks. the reason i like it is cause of the crazy screaming guitar stuff

earlier i was listening to the soundtrack for George Romero's Creepshow. its by this guy called John Harrison who also did the soundtrack to day of the dead. its deadly but not as good as the soundtrack to DOTD which is the spookiest head fuck ever - seriously the soundtrack is enough to keep you stocked up on night terrors for a long time

oh yeah, as is the trailer where the hands came through the wall
