Title: Tunes
Post by: KrisDelger on October 16, 2013, 01:35:24 pm
So I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who jams out while working on bows, or knapping, or just hanging out. Lately I've been compiling massive playlists for working on projects and rocking out in my shop while spitting shavings. So here's my question; what do you guys like to listen to when you're working, if anything?

Here's my current list that's been spinning in my shop while I'm wrenching on a jeep and scraping on a bow:
42eternal- Too Weird Too Normal
Flogging Molly- Drunken Lullabies
Flogging Molly- What's Left Of The Flag
Slipknot- Snuff
Billy Talent- Devil In A Midnight Mass
Guns & Roses- Sweet Child O' Mine
Thousand Foot Crutch- Move
System Of A Down- Aerials
System Of A Down- Hypnotize
Dropkick Murphy's- Going Out Of Style
Bayside- Guardrail
A Perfect Circle- Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Or The War Drums
Rammstien- Engel
Bayside- Alcohol and Alter Boys
Passion Pit- Sweater Weather
Tool- The Pot
Metallica- Enter The Sandman
The Beatles- Hey Jude
The Glitchmob/ White Stripes- Seven Nation Army Remix
Odesia- Android
Hello Goodbye- Here In Your Arms
E Nomine- Mitternacht
Gorillaz- Dare
30 Seconds To Mars- In The Air
30 Seconds To Mars- This is War
The Killers- Mr. Brightside
All American Rejects- Gives You Hell
Imagine Dragons- Radioactive
Five Finger Death Punch- The Pride
Five Finger Death Punch- War Is The Answer
The Killers- Somebody Told Me
A.F.I.- Miss Murder
Billy Talent- Fallen Leaves

I just realized there's no point to me typing out the entire list seeing as its a full 4.8 hours of music on shuffle....
ANYWAY! I wanna know, what are some of your jams! Let me know and I'll give them a spin and see if I can work to them, I'm an audiophile so no worries about genre or style here, anything goes!

Rock and/or roll for me.....lots of it from 1965-1995 before and after isn't for me. I like classic country a bunch to, the really old stuff that clicks and pops.

I kind of got burnt out on music while I work.  All I had was a radio and it seemed like I was stopping to chang the station after every other song.  Now I record all of the murder mystery shows on the ID channel and listen to them while I work.  Its all interviews and re-enactments so I can just listen and not have to watch the TV.  I think I would make a good detective.

@bowman Its on there  :D
@Parnell Who would you say is your favorite Blues Artist they play?
@Osage Outlaw I usually mix a few murder mystery and Tom Clancy books on tape in there to shake things up but since if I'm not working on something I'm usually reading that gets kind of boring
@Pearl Drums plenty of great music from that time period, and nothing wrong with the distorted click and pop style of older country music (Mostly its preferable to the newer country songs in my opinion)

Post by: KrisDelger on October 16, 2013, 11:56:42 pm
Basically my playlists are constantly evolving since I don't do anything around my home or at work without some kind of background noise (usually music) currently I have one filled 80gig Ipod that lives on shuffle, and another 20gig Ipod that's been living in my locker at work for slow days.... I have a lot of music....
Now if only I could find some decent tribal didgeridoo music to download to add to my instrumental playlists. Today was more jamming to bagpipes and alt rock while working on the tiller on my newest attempt.

I knew my "cuz" had good tastes, but Robert Johnson?  He might be a brother after all!

Tonite it was Norah Jones, ELO, Johnny Cash (collection of his old stuff), and some Tom Petty.  Someone mentioned Will's cd and I am putting that in next.

There are so many artists, that's what makes Blues my overall favorite.  Of course, being 38, I've got the rock'n roll thing, too.  Problem is, where I live it seems that the radio is HORRIBLE!  I don't download tons of music, either.

Artists?  Modern I like Fatback Deluxe to Susan Tedeschi maybe the most.  I like Elmore James a lot.  New stuff that crosses into Rock?  Black Keys...White Stripes is strongly bluesy...

The cool thing about Blues is that is very much alive.  There are a lot of young artists, up and coming.  It stands the test of time with me.

Just about anything at certain times.  Jammin on Stevie Ray Vaughan lately.

You never know what I might be listening to in my shop, I own some where around 2000 LP's and CD's it could be Johnny Cash or the Clash, Hank Snow or Tool, Patty Smith, Leonard Cohen or Syd Barrett.
Lately I listen to a lot of Steve Earle,Townes Van Zant,Will Harrison, Chad Slagle,Robert Earl Keen, Dave Gilmour.
New interests that I want to get more aquainted with are, John Prine, Blaze Foley, Iris Dement and Ray Wiley Hubbard.
There's more just too much to list.

unless I am in the car driving somewhere I typically don't listen to music. I do not have a playlist and when it comes to anything "new" I could not even tell you who sings what!

Sunday is my dedicated music day when I'm not working.  I bookend my day with Blues for Breakfast 9-11am, Floydian Slip 8-9pm and Grateful Dead Hour 9-10pm.  I prefer to work out to dubstep, and work in meditative silence.

Pearly,
We always had music playing in the house.
My Ma used to listen to the old country and western music when I was a kid,I started buying albums in 1976 and never stopped, now my 17yr. old nephew who just got a record player, raids my collection for Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin albums.
I'm sure my sister just loves hearing all of those great albums again! ;)

The sound of quite !!
I like to listen to the sound of the tools doing what they were made to do !
Some times distracted by a song bird that stopped by to see what I am up to !
You folks can have all the noise you want just give me some peace and quite !

Post by: DavidV on October 17, 2013, 06:37:33 pm
I always have music playing and it's usually 90's indie/rock bands. Modest Mouse, Sonic Youth,  Pixies, The White Stripes, The Smiths, Joy Division, Radiohead, and The Arctic Monkeys.

Not to say I don't appreciate the classic rock and blues greats ;)

EDIT: Ahhh, and can't forget Tom Waits! but that's more for rough work.

Pearl if you don't like new stuff you should just check out one.  The Black Keys I don't think that you will be disappointed.  Something very classic about them along with a good bluesy sound :)

@Buckeye Sometimes I like my peace and quiet but not often. I just like having background noise of some kind to keep the buzzing in my head to a minimum, having music gives me something to pace myself to, something to pull apart and dissect in my mind to keep my thoughts somewhat in order. If I don't have something to listen to I seem to lose my focus when I'm working and make silly often times terrible mistakes on projects.
But as I've always said and will always say we're all different and we all like different things! Enjoy your peace, enjoy your quiet, enjoy the scrap of tools, I'll continue to enjoy my often deafening music. :D

Waylon, Willie, George, Merle.  Vern Gosdin, Ray Price, Buck Owens.  Hank Williams.  To me, there hasn't been a hell of a lot of real country music made since 1978.   New country?  Jamie Johnson, some Zac Brown (the boy can pic!)  There have been a few who showed promise, and then they sold out, popped up and popped out of the picture.  Alan Jackson will be a name they keep talking about.  Don't know why I am rambling on this subject.  These are the artists that I admire - I don't listen to music when I am building a bow....   :)

Post by: Badly Bent on October 19, 2013, 10:40:32 am
Honky tonk country, outlaw country, cajun, blues, bluegrass, rockabilly, lots a different roots style music. Ray Price to Al Green and Ray Charles, BR-549  and Wayne Hancock to Junior Wells.  Billy Joe Shaver and Dale Watson to Delbert Mc Clinton. Lost Bayou Ramblers and Bill Kirchen to Eleven Hundred Springs. Could bore you all with three pages of my music likes. ::) When working on a jobsite  I have my XM radio to keep me from getting bored but at my shop where I do my bow building I can't get decent reception on the radio there so I just listen to AM talk radio. Gotta quit doing that though because its mostly political talk that just gets me depressed. ;D
Howard you should try XM Outlaw Country channel 60 for some good new country, its not that nash-vegas type of country, bet you'd like it from looking at your list of artist.

Is Mojo Nixon still DJing? On Outlaw country.  He always made me laugh.  Great station though.  I used to listen too it a lot more when I lived in Boise.  I worked at a guitar shop called Bolin Guitars for about six years and we listened to it quite a bit there.

Post by: Badly Bent on October 19, 2013, 04:26:35 pm
Yeah Matt he' still on weekday afternoons. Some funny stuff comes out of his mouth but he gets a little too profane and vulgar with the language at times and I can't keep it on when I have customers within earshot at work so I'll sometimes have to change the station.
Title: Re: Tunes
Post by: IdahoMatt on October 19, 2013, 05:24:41 pm
When I worked at the guitar shop we didn't have many clients come back into production so it was okay.  I agree with you about the vulgarities though.  He does know how to pick some good tunes.  I miss working with wood for a lIving at times.  Got to meet a lot of famous musicians.  Those time were some of the most strange and enjoyable memories of my life.

Great thread. I grew up listening to Mexican umpa German inspired bands, mariachi music and old classic Mexican nortena music.. As my uncles and dad will refer to as "good getting drunk music."

Cornelio Reyna
Ramon Ayala
Pedro infanta
Los relampagos del Norte

And a few singers from Spain

Then I came to Texas illegally as a four year old and in middle school began to listen to "English" music..

I'm Mexican born, but washed in the blood Texan.  I remember doing my homework as a George Straights Blame it on Mexico song played in an old cassette player.

I love all country music. Classic and current. Don Williams is one of my favorites.

Love classic rock, 80's rock and 90's rock.. U2 is a must..
Sweet home Alabama is a sure hit in my classroom.

Buddy holly and Richie Valens is played everyday to my kindergarten students. In august they didn't know who buddy holly was or Richie Valens. Now they ask me to play their music and I think that's pretty cool.

In the early late 80's I listened to rap into 93. Still like it , but don't play it.

Love blues, bluegrass and jazz..

Classical music was played when my kiddos were babies. Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Chopin, Gluck..

Gluck's dance of the blessed spirits should be heard by all at least once
Vivaldi's four seasons is a masterpiece.
Copland the great American composer and his "Appalachian spring."

Beethoven's moonlight sonata..

Well honestly I like most music..  ;)
