"I Like All Kinds Of Music"
I love getting that answer to the question, "What music do you like?" My first answer, "Cool. How about some Sardinian Bagpipe music?" "Uh, er, okay?" "All righty then!" "Hm..this is a bit er, harsh?" "Now worries, how about some Swedish Two-Step dances done in the heavy psychedelic style by Kebnekajse?" "Really?" "Here Ya go!" "Are the guitars in tune and do the singers ever harmonize correctly?" "Ah, bit of a stretch, eh? Here's something more straight laced by by a German band called Guru Guru" "What kind of music is this and do they ever play a normal rhythm?" "Okay, Krautrock not your thing it seems. Hm...Ah!..Hawkwind keep the beats simple and the tunes are not very complex" "What's with all the noises swirling around and what's an argon accumulator?" "Maybe something in a world music groove....Ah!...How about some Thai Shadow Music from a tape my bass player picked up in Bangkok? It's a bit long but the beat is easy" "Are those out of tune harmonicas and when does the beat change?" "Ah..a bit too far east? Let's see....Ah!..Here's some beautiful secular Bali Gamelan music by E. Koestyara and Group Gapura" "It sounds like someone is pounding a cleaver on butcher block and playing with kitchenware. What's that shrill chirping and does the low frequency throb ever stop?" "Okie Dokie...Hm...Jazz!...Here's John Coltrane's famous Quartet live at The village Vanguard" "Do the sax player and drummer ever calm down? And why does the piano player have to pound so hard?" "Post be-bop isn't for everyone...Let's try something else....Here Ya go!...This is a great trio called Scorch!" "Why is the guitar so distorted. Yikes that's the bass?? Oh my, the guitar player seems a bit stressed and the drummer isn't making any sense" "Okay, Finnish free jazz not your thing obviously....Dance!...This band Kraftwerk always gets me up" "I know this! Sprockets!!"
