Open Question: What song/musician is your guilty pleasure?
Elton John- I really shouldn’t say he’s my ‘guilty’ pleasure. That’s mean. He’s too good of an artist to say that.
I love all the quirky 70 and 80 songs. It’s so corny it’s cute.
What about you?

Open Question: Can you tell me some good old country artists to listen to?
Lately I’ve been getting into older country type music (i dont like the new stuff). I like Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. What are some other good musicians like these that I might like?
Open Question: If you had a chance to meet one of your favorite musicians (living or dead) who would it be and why?
I would like to meet Jimi Hendrix, Just to see some of his creativity in real life, visit with him. I realize drug use with a big influence, but it couldn’t have been all of it. I want to know the rest of the story….
Open Question: Listening and Analyzing music?
For an University essay I have to analyze a piece of contemporary music. Your not just supposed to work out the tempo or the key signature but your have to look at the symbolic meanings of the title of the piece and really go into depth.
The piece I have picked focuses on an Historical point in Japanese history - the state of Manchu at the end of the second world war. The composer however makes reference to past lives (rebirth) which is something that the Buddhists believe in and looks at the spiritual elements as well as the second world war.
As I am a musician, whenever I listen to music I keep thinking about musical things - the notes being played, Chord sequences, Tempo and I end up singing the tune. This means that when I listen to it the symbolic meanings disappear and at the end I realize I haven’t noted any symbolism whatsoever.
Is there a way of listening to music whereby I could stop worrying about the musical things and start thinking more in depth about the meaning and symbolism of the piece I’m listening too.

Open Question: Musicians you associate more with a later style/sound than their first?
For example:
I associate Danny Elfman more with his film scores (especially Tim Burton productions, such as Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas) than his band Oingo Boingo (”Weird Science,” “Dead Man’s Party”).
I associate Brian Eno more with his ambient albums and producing (U2’s The Joshua Tree, Coldplay’s Viva la Vida…) than his time with Roxy Music or his solo art/glam albums.
The Thin White Duke, have you heard Bowie’s very first album? It’s a trip. “Please Mr. Gravedigger” is great in a bold, campy way.

Open Question: When you first heard your favorite musician’s normal voice, did it surprise you?
Kirk Hammett is one of my faves, and he sounded WAY different than what I thought he’d sound like. For a kickbutt metal guitarist, he sounds really nice.
