What types of music do what to you?

What type of music would you put on to do a certain thing? Like I have big problems concentrating, so I put on stuff like Korn. Strangely, it seems to be the only thing that can help me concentrate; nothing else ever does the trick.
or if I'm getting ready to meet different types of friends, I'd put something on that puts me in the mood that best suits them; like I'd put on Queen to be hyper with a friend, Morcheeba to be sort of at one with the world with a friend, etc etc I have a friend that has put Bob Marley on when he needs to sweep and mop.

Does any of this make sense? If so, what type of music do you put on to do a specific thing?

 

I listen to psytrance when I'm dancing
I listen to tom waits when I'm drinking
I listen to ravi shankar when I am thinking
I listen to the crickets when I am stoned
I listen to the universe when I am tripping
I listen to beck when I am in transition
I listen to the flaming lips when I am happy
I listen to the mars volta for energy
and I listen to omar rogriguez lopez for inspiration

 

Have you ever heard Beck's album, One Foot In the Grave...? It's my favorite of his...

 

Weird. Actually I have not. Is it old?
I love beck...I need to hear this.

 

It's old, it was in '94...it's more folk-like...



It's really good...

 

damn just when I thought I've heard all of beck (I've been listening to his new album all day)

thanks for reminding me there is more to explore.

 

I listen to Tom Petty for almost everything.
I have some tribal music that I listen to if I'm nervous about meeting someone new..or if I have to give a speech (well that was back when I was in school.)
I listen to NIN when I'm cleaning.
I listen to Tom Petty when I'm drawing.
I listen to classical music when I work out and stretch.
Oh and I listen to opera when I'm writting.

 

Tom Petty lyrics were my first words.....

hahahaha

I love that man

 

Eno...

Maybe Coltrane or Miles Davis.

 

what were the exact lyrics?

 

I've no idea, that's just what my mom used to tell me.

Who the fuck knows????

I love tom petty!

 

YAY! I'm not alone. He is my all time favorite. Free Fallin' was my favorite song when I was growing up. haha

Oh and the thing that always shocked me about people with music...

"I just discovered the Beatles, or the Grateful Dead"....the list goes on.

 

i admitted to my mom that i smoked pot while we were listening to a tom petty song...
