    The Band.



    Brilliant music. It pretty much sums up everything I love to hear, be it folk music, Americana, country, blues, rockabilly, rock, elements of gospel and church music, and just to put it together in one neat little package. Acadian Driftwood, dealing with the deportation of the Acadians to Louisane, is one of the few songs that actually brought me to tears when I heard it for the first time. Up On Cripple Creek is not blues, it's not rock, it's not country; it's all of that and yet none of it. If you listen closely, there are elements of funk music in there as well. And then there's the mysterious case of "King Harvest". Fairly little people know about the influence The Band had on rock music, Levon Helm pretty much invented a new drumming technique, Garth Hudson was the first person to ever use a wah-wah pedal on a Hohner clavinet, and Eric Clapton saw them as one of his greatest examples. The famous song "Let It Be" by The Beatles was also influenced by The Band's pure sound.

    Youtube links from now on:

    I like most kinds of metal, especially the symphonic, progressive, and gothic varieties, but not so much black metal and thrash metal. Beyond that, I love neofolk, dream pop, and new age.

    A few examples:

    Lake of Tears - So Fell Autumn Rain

    Dredg - It Only Took a Day

    Riverside - Conceiving You

    Autumn's Grey Solace - Mystify

    The Moon and the Nightspirit - Rögből élet

    I got more if you want 'em.

    Get several more genres but theres I listen a lot on electronics. Some personal favorites:







    Then there's also darkweave:


    And Gothic Rock/Industrial:
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Limited aviable videos on youtube.

    One is a slightly exhibitionistic artist and the other is the album art. I could change the links if that's too inapropriate.
