What music/musician do you really hate?
None coming to mind. Usually I don't let myself get to the hating stage with music. If I don't like it, usually that just means I'm indifferent to it and won't bother listening. Stuff I'll usually turn off is any sort of bohemian grunge or soft-whiny singer-songwriter stuff that I hear. A few major bands/musicians I don't usually bother with are Velvet Underground, David Bowie (just about any glam rock, for that matter), as well as most death metal and most goth (some of the weirder or more rough-sounding I can put up with, like early Christian Death.)

The Beatles maybe. Wasn't listening to much music at that age.

That's too hard to answer in a relatively short way.... But I do like drums and guitars a lot.

What's your favourite genre?

I'm not a genre kind of guy. I like good music. But if you classified all my CDs my guess is that the biggest category would be reggae.

Are you listening to music now? If so, what?

Nope.

Hey Pid, you checked out PJ Harvey on Desert Sessions 9&10? I love Powered Wig Machine

What about " I wanna make it withchu ", that's my personal favourite, it was great to see Josh Homme and PJ Harvey do this live on Jools Holland's show last year.

Don't really like that one as much. Jools Holland sounds cool, shame i missed it. Since you seemed clued up Josh Homme, you know Kyuss? They ****ing own every rock band.

Can't believe you dropped me rep points Pyro, I'll change House of Pain to Sureshot by the Beastie Boys.
You're a tough task master, just as well I'm not vindictive.......oh no, the dark side is coming over me.........
Watch you're back Jack, the deadly Hairy Haggis has you in his sights!!!!!

Lol. You were warned! If it make any difference i tried to rep you back up for your last post but it wouldn't let me.

Deadly Hairy Haggis are like elephants, they never forget!!!!!!!!!
You wont know when or where...........but I'll get you my pretty!


P.S. close your wardrobe door tonight......ha,ha,ha,ha!

What's Desert Sessions?? Remember I is an foreigner.

Good It's a rotating line-up with Josh Homme and some other stragglers from Kyuss and other stoner bands. That recorded 6 stoner volumes in a year, then 2 more lots of 2 in later years. The 1st 6 are quite rare and sell very high on eBay. 7&8 is available quite cheap and 9&10 got a wide distribution. so easily available. The biggest attraction is really the fact the QOTSA re-used many of the Desert Session recording on their main albums.

Oh, ok.. I thought you were talking about some show on TV or something. Maybe I should check it out then.
