hi
this might sound a little strange. but i find i am addicted to music. i cant go a day without listening to some sort of beat. i find it makes me very happy (and i often get very moody and down without it)
i listen to all sorts of music from jazz, blues, rock some pop... latly i have been getting into hard techno and spending about 3 hourse a day on a set of tuntables. I kind of feel im scrafiing doing other things jsut to make time to play decks or listen to one more tune.
does anyone else get this?
thanks a mil

Not with gay-ass techno music.
im just looking for constrictive commentary, thanks
My bad. I think loving music is normal and healthy. I love music, and so do my brothers. I do not listen to as much as I used to anymore, but that is because I have gotten older and expanded my horizons (and so unfortunately do not have as much time). I cannot identify with techno or emu or almost any rap, as I feel it is shit. Or pop shit. But to each his own. If you get really good on the turntables, consider becoming a DJ because the good ones can make an assload of money.
Yeah, I get that. But with good music.


Led Zeppelin, Stone Roses, Status Quo, Ac/Dc, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Tool, The Who, Smashing Pumpkins,The Fray, The Coral...etc...try these.

They're too good to miss.
lol whats with every1 thinking theres something wrong with techno???

yes i do listen to all them in sapades... espically the 1st 6 very good bands!!
To be honest I don't really know what you mean by techno. I assumed it was those sort of dance/pop things with a computerized voice and drum beat etc.

Apologies for my assumption. :D
I'm with u man. Techno is da bomb. I got into that stuff at the end of '06, and i just can't get off it. I just love the hard, obvious beat. The only prob is i don't know where to find out about new or upcoming songs, i only get like Top 40 Club songs. Where do you find them?
You like the who and zeppelin?...Cool!
@: smithee
They're amazing...:D
i know exactly the type of dance/tech tunes your talking about. as with most pop culture nowadays most people assume when someone says techno (i dont mean anything bad here) but people generally picture modified cars and burbary hats. but i have been looking alot into the genre and there is some (i find) class underground techno tunes. well composed, great basslines and easy to listen to electronic music. there is alot of slow chillout tech stuff aswell (take moby for example, or peace orchestra).
from my opinion aswell most of the people i know (myself included) who enjoy some bangin tech would enjoy a pearl jam/rage/old skool rock, folk, blues, jazz and chill gig as much as a devout fan.
i think im trying to convince all yous that its normal to listen to tech now lol.

ah and footfan. check out some sites like www.di.fm (for a rake load of radio stations) or the forums on www.discogs.com (thats great for all the old records aswell)

most people wouldnt think aswell but electroic music is alot older than you'd think. going back to the 80's when hip-hop and rap were being combined with samples and scratching. or even in english punk culture (if u get a chance watch 24 hr party people (and trainspotting aswell haha))

anyhow... sorry about that, rant over now lol >_< haha
No, this is very normal. You love music, like me. I listen to music every day too, and the sort i listen to is dependent on my mood. The only thing i'm worried about, is my hearing. But just make sure, as with every hobbie, that you have a balanced life and that you dont let ur hobbies detract too much attention from other areas in your life
its kinda hard to go a single day without hearing some sort of music, so, yer, normal
MUSIC KICKS ARSE! YOU ARE SOOO LIKE ME!

BUT I LISTEN TO PUNK,ROCK,DEATHMETAL,EMO,GRUNGE ETC! lOL

MUCH LOVE
jaymeeee

If only I were a LOT younger. Anyone who describes himself as "addicted" to music is my kind of guy.
Don't worry, I think most people are like that
tool kicks ass
yes i'm the same way only probably 100X worse addicted than you are. let me put it this way

for the past 3 years i've been listening to music 80% of that time. when i eat, when i shit, when i use my computer, in the car, etc.

i just started discovering good music about 3 years ago when my roommate introduced me to tool and some other good bands. before that i never really liked music. that was because i was subjected to shit music, radio music, bad genres, etc, my whole life up to that point

now i spend every moment of my life looking for other good bands and trying to listen to as much good music as i can
techno is gay
I don't think there's anything unusual about listening to music everyday, even if it's for a few hours. Ever thought about having a career in music?
its normal but don't waste your time on techno crap. i'm addicted to Linkin Park right now (i'm not goth or emo)
