Average Age

[Niceguy4186]

Hey guys, i was just kinda courious of what the average age of everyone in here that post? i was in the topic about the soundtrack, and i was noticing that most people were listing pretty old songs and bands. Before my posting, there were maybe two songs (that i knew) that had come out within the last 3 or 4 years. How many of you keep up with the newer music? To be fair, i am 20 years old and pretty much didn't listen to much music till i was 16. So anything before that i'm not a big fan of older music. fell free to add anything you wish to talk about

24, but with VERY VERY odd tastes in music. (comes from growing up in a classical household).

Hey, Niceguy.

I'm 50. And I stopped "keeping up" with the music scene about 30 years ago.

I listen to the radio, but it's strictly background. I could probably sing the songs, but I couldn't tell you who wrote them or played them -- not the artist, not even the band. Alternatively, I could tell you the names of the bands/artists I've heard of, but I couldn't match them with their music to save my life.

In short, I'm pathetic.

I am a very "young looking" [hahah yeah right] 27 for 1 more lovely month.


and on the topic of age, some little (20yo no offence niceguy) $h1t at work came upto me the other day and said

"hahah yuo'll be dead soon"

I'm 40 since April. And I'm starting to feel like it! In the last 3 years, I've suffered through too many nagging injuries from not being in shape to compete. Tennis elbow, medial colateral strain, rotator cuff, biceps tendon. I've started working out again to combat the injuries, and it's finally beginning to help!

In the last two years, I also feel that i've suffered a nagging "injury" that affects oh to many college kids these days, freshman 15 and oh so bad beer belly. anybody know a cure???

29... And coming into the best shape of my life... Pear shape!!!

Go for the lite beer if you aren't already. As for the freshman 15, pizza at every meal is a definite cause of that. That being said, I'm a measly 17, although my musical tastes go back to the sixties.

[shyHeidi]

You shouldn't have a beer belly 'til you're 21.
Okay, for the record, I'm 20, and I listen to um... um... um... Well, I listen to some old stuff (doors, depeche mode, etc), alot of 90's stuff, and then I listen to some of my brother's music, he's 16 but I don't always know what I'm listening to. He's been listening to the Misfits and AFI (ugh), Rufio, Distillers, etcetera.

20. I don't keep up with the latest music, I mean, I've only just got a cd player (the one on my computer, which I got in september). I therefore own 3 music cds, which were very carefully considered before purchase:

Joshua Kadison - Painted Desert Serenade
The Rembrandts - LP
Nine Days - The Madding Crowd


As for old music, new music or whatever, well, they play all sorts in the students' union, so a bit of everything I guess. I can't define what I like by era, genre or whatever, I just either like it or I don't.

39...and thanks to my first kidney stone a couple of weeks ago, I'm realizing that I AM 39!

Musically? Gad...I'm all over the place...Weird Al Yankovic, Tchaokvsky (I KNOW I spelled that wrong...dang Russian!), some modern pop stuff, but the vast majority is past Drum Corps International championships, both the actual shows and the source material...right now I'm listening to a jazz piece by the late Don Ellis called "Strawberry Soup", but not just 'cause it's a *****in' piece. The Sr. drum corps I just joined is playing it, and, although it's a corps classic dating back to the 1982 season, because it's mostly in 9/4 time, it's a ***** to play...and even harder to conduct!

If the guy wasn't already dead, I think I'd shoot him!

i've found out, the more cd players you own, the more cds you'll get... when i started listing to music at the age of 16, it was just radio, on 17th b-day, rents got me cd player so i joined on of those cd clubs got like 15 cds, and thought hey, i can only listen to them in the house, so i put a cd play in the car.... got tired of those cds... so i got more... cds got to cost to much... so i got a cd burner... now up up to 150ish cds or so which is a nice collection sense most of those are new music

Yeah, but you know Sam, they have to have those 9/4 and 5/4 pieces to use up the leftover quarter notes from the 3/4 waltzes and such... I mean, without that, one program of Strauss by the Cleveland Orchestra and we'd be swimming in the dang things! We'd have to issue life jackets at the door for any concert by the London Philharmonic!

Thank God for Igor Stravinsky--one performance of Rite of Spring per season uses up all the surplus. Before we started that, we had to rent a warehouse and look for jazz musicians to buy the extras...

ROFLOL @ Loch,,,, THAT IS BRILLANT MAN!

[HilandDoug]

...and as a former jazz musician I must say it used to be a lot of fun to pick through the bin and buy a few good ones for those open solos during a 12 bar blues improv jam!

Now, you can't even find them at K-Mart.....

I concur!

Ellis used to say that a 4/4 bar was actually 5/4 minus 1...OY!
