On a daily basis, I find myself torn between that age-old
question -- "Gangsta rap or Guillaume de Machaut?" -- so no,
you aren't the only one. I'm not a genre snob, I like a
lot of shit. I like a live performance better than a
recorded one, and a spontaneous live performance even
better. I also enjoy solitude and the absence of any music
beyond what comes in through the window.
Here's what I listen to these days:
- Eels == my latest happy discovery
- early music, esp. madrigal and organ music, also anything by Alfred Deller (resurgence in countertenors hasn't lasted very long)
- the occasional pop hit
- Ravel, who would have liked perl
- Vaughn Williams, who would have preferred php
- lots of random techno mixed in with world music, eg Ancient Future (fave track = "Somaloka", get it while you can at mp3.com)
I like sitting down with a musical instrument and playing
what I feel best of all.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
