    Hi Guys

    What sort of background noise is there while you are either writing answers or reading postings

    For myself when I am using the computer at school I will be listening to my music CDs. I have quite a wide selection of music to listen to. At the moment I have just purchased a triple CD of Country and Western music so I am listening to it.
    All the music was recorded in the 1960s.

    At home I will have the radio on and be listening to Radio Pacific which is all talk back. You get some way out callers talking about real wacko things. Also some of the announcers can get really wound up as well.

    Now your turn – what do you other forumites listen to. I’ll list some of my other music when I get down to school.

    Regards

    Thats easy… at work “phones ringing”, “conversations around you”, “someone radio turned right down so you can only hear bits of the song..”.. [:)]

    at home, the dogs banging their tail on the wall behind me.. the kids running around… [:)]

    Regards,
    Arty.

    Hi Guys

    Tonight I am listening to Best of the Barron Knights. A CD I picked up from the Warehouse for $5. Some good old humourous stuff from the 60s

    Hell Rod no wonder you had a quick sojourn to NZ- just to get away from the kids.

    Arty what about putting a CD in c drive or is it d drive and getting a pair of headphones. Think about the bliss of hearing no phones, no conversations, no kids running around etc, etc.

    The All Blacks for the World Cup.

    Regards

    You get time to do this at work?? Wow…
    If I did, I’d be listening to screaming, telephones, doors slamming, engines revving, sirens, typing, swearing, and someone asking “who wants a coffee?”

    At home? The air con….

    Hi Guys

    Ah yes, Meatloaf, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, and Led Zep they are all part of my CD library. I can also add Donovan, The Barron Knights, Blood Sweat and Tears and The Beatles No1 to the list as well. Don’t they age me. Still extremely hard to beat the 60s and 70s music.
    Mind you I don’t listen to them all at once but on a fairly frequent basis.

    Regards

    Ahh music,

    Where does one begin?

    I listen to all sorts of music but my faves are guitar oriented stuff.

    I love 70’s bands like Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pink Floyd, AC/DC (Bon Scott days) and ofcourse Hendrix.

    Then there is blues music. Stevie Ray Vaughn, John Lee Hooker, Roy Buchannan and The John Butler Trio.

    I also love female vocalists like Fiona Apple, Ani Difranco, Tori Amos, Macy Gray and the Waifs.

    Currently though i mostly listen to Alternative Rock/Pop bands like The White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Cruel Sea, The Pixies, Pearl Jam, Tool, The Eels, Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds and many, many more.

    I could go on forever, but basically it’s important to listen to a variety of different styles so that no matter what your mood is there will be something that will hit the spot.

    Oh yeah, Pinky i used to listen to early Iron Maiden in the 80’s too. Can you believe they are still releasing new stuff?

    Hi Guys

    Keep the postings coming in.

    I’ve just had a look at my library and can add The Rolling Stones, The Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Royal Guardsmen(of Snoopy fame), The Hollies and The Small Faces.
    My favourite drumming solo is part of In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly. Would love to get more of Sandy Nelson.

    I am very sexist and don’t have any music by females although I do have the best of The Mamas and Papas.

    I like all sorts of stuff.

    U2, Jeff Buckley, Smashing Pumkins, Powderfinger, Queen, Stone Temple Pilots, and top 40 stuff. Beatles and older stuff is good too.
