A log of all the music I heard for 24-hours (voluntarily or involuntarily), along with a guide of where I heard it. [And fun commentary in brackets. And some sweet links.]
Ipod, walking to class: [Helpful note: Throughout the 24 hours, I was shuffling through my 4 and 5 star playlist, a.k.a. songs I like and songs I love]
-Ben Folds - "Philosophy (Live)"
In MUSC 56 - Tonal Theory:
-Various musical examples played on piano or sung by the class.
-Richard Strauss - "Also Sprach Zarathustra" [Fucking awesome. Especially blasting it on decent speakers.]
-Singing and playing piano through "Also Sprach," focusing on relevant musical theory points
-Richard Strauss - "Also Sprach Zarathustra" [Just as awesome the second time.]
-More various musical examples played on piano or sung by the class, including Happy Birthday
-Robert Schumann - "Dichterliebe" exerpt, played by the professor on piano
-Johannes Brahms - "3rd Symphony in F Major" intro, repeated several times as a dictation exercise.
In the OMAC Weight Room: [Most of these were looked up after the fact]
-Ludacris ft. Jay Z and Nas - "I Do it For Hip Hop" [didn't really know the song, recognized Luda and Jay Z though]
-Lil' Wayne - "Got Money"
-Yo Gotti ft. Gucci Mane, Trina, & Nicki Minaj - "5 Star Chick (Remix)"
-Foxx ft. Webbie & Lil Boosie - "Wipe Me Down (Remix)"
-Sean Paul, or someone who sounds like Sean Paul [Just flipped through 30 Sean Paul Youtube vids, no luck]
-Rihanna - "Hard" [didn't know the song, recognized Rihanna. 2 days later, came into the gym again and the cd was on this song again.]
-Chris Brown - "I Can Transform Ya"
-DJ Lil Roy[?] - a mix that included among other things, Gang Starr - "Just to Get a Rep," LL Cool J - "Mama Said Knock You Out," DNA [remixing Suzanne Vega] - "Tom's Diner," A Tribe Called Quest - "Bonita Applebum," and KRS-One "Step into a World (Rapture's Delight)."
-GLC ft. Kanye West & T-Pain - "Flight School" [didn't know the song, recognized Kanye and T-Pain]
-Kid Cudi - "Day 'N' Nite" [might have been a remix]
-[Another Rap song, lyrics I remember: "that's why I got the fiends on the block right now," "trying to unload what I got right now," something about if things start going badly, being totally willing to going back to selling crack.]
-[Some reggaeton song, lyrics unintelligible]
-Jay-Z - What We Talkin' About [didn't know the song, recognized Jay-Z]
Songs I Sang to Myself Walking Home from the OMAC: [all of these were just snippets]
-Taking Back Sunday - "Bike Scene"
-Taking Back Sunday - "Timberwolves at New Jersey"
-Brand New - "Vices"
-Paramore - "Franklin"
[I wonder if this section gives a coherent picture of my musical interests...]
Walking to Manning Chapel:
-Manchester Orchestra - "In My Teeth"
-The Decemberists - "The Infanta"
-Pink Floyd - "Goodbye Blue Sky" [half of it]
In Manning Chapel:
-A friend and I fooling around on the pipe organ.
Atrium of an Art Show:
-The Shins - "New Slang"
-The Wonders - "That Thing That You Do"
-Jason Mraz - "The Remedy"
-Rolling Stones - "Beast of Burden"
iPod, Walking Back from Art Show:
-Pink Floyd - "Goodbye Blue Sky" [the rest]-The Killers - "When You Were Young"
-Third Eye Blind - "Never Let You Go"
-Lights - "Drive My Soul" [I WANT TO MARRY THIS GIRL] [Seriously though, I used to classify this as "The Best Guilty Pleasure Music Ever," until I stopped feeling guilty. She's on tour with The Poor Man's Postal Service Owl City Now, I'm predicting she's a big deal in 6 months to a year. LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT I WAS WAY INTO HER OVER A YEAR AGO]
-My Bloody Valentine - "Only Shallow" [half of it]
At Home:
-Crash Kings - "Evolution of Rock - With No Guitars" [Sent to me from a friend as a reason why I should have been going to their concert that night. It was tremendously awesome, and in fact made me very sad I was not going.]
iPod, Walking to Class the Next Day:
-My Bloody Valentine - "Only Shallow" [the rest of it]-Marcy Playground - "Sex and Candy" [about 15 seconds, just long enough to realize I was sick of this song, rate it 3 stars instead of 4, and skip to the next one]
-Michael Jackson - "Beat It" [was having a less than stellar morning, so this was a good pump up]
In MUSC 56 Lab:
-Me and a classmate struggling through chord progressions in minor on the piano
-Intervals, seventh chords, and a melody for dictation, all played on the piano as a quiz
End: 02/05/10 12:57 P.M.
Thoughts: A pretty interesting sample. I slept kind of late and was doing homework in the morning on the second day, so less listening occurred there than would be usual. Scribbling down song lyrics while trying to work out was a pain, but in a humorous way. It was also funny having 25 tabs open on my browser searching for a rap song that had the words "cars cash rims wheels." I feel like my tastes manifest themselves a little bit here, but probably not as much as other days (not that that's the point). But what it lacks in that department, it makes up for in range of styles of music experienced.
