Q: Who needs loud rock to get through the day?

Bring it b*tch!  Sorry the quality of my questions is deteriorating along with my personal hygiene.

it depends on how the day is going. Sometimes the music can be quiet, sometimes classic punk does the trick.

Oh classic punk... smooth moves.  I knew there was a reason I liked ya Sorrel ;).

I like the irony in "Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence" at a "decent" volume

I get all the raucous loud rock I need for a lifetime just by being surrounded by a bazillion nationals, whether it be in the street, the supermarket or at the workplace.

Why the hell would I want to add to the cacophony and auditory chaos of every day life here by listening to rock music?

I get up early every morning and I listen to classical music. Italian baroque, Mozart, some nice cello shit: Jacqueline du Pre, for example.

When I get home from a heavy effin' metal day at work, I listen to West Coast cool jazz. Usually Miles, Trane or Brubeck.  Or alternative lounge shit like Portishead. Or some Marvin Gaye if I'm in a Motown mood.

Rock out to chill out? No way, Jose.

(LIstening to Take Five at the moment and, yes, I'm drinkin'. Cheers!)

happywanderer:

Oh that's kinda classy.  And totally down with Portishead.

I'll take mr. otis.  didn't dig redd fox much though... but understand his appeal.

 

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cuz I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now

I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

No way. Rock is the music of the devil. I'd rather listen to a good Hillsong playlist.
